Virtual Lecture Series

Presented by the Newport Symposium, this month-long lecture series takes inspiration from the creative inventiveness we are witnessing in reaction to our ongoing global pandemic. In this series, speakers with a range of historical perspectives will share ways that design and design thinking have been activated in response to crises of health and well-being. Through the development of useful, well-designed objects, an understanding of the natural environment, and advancements in biological study, creativity is at the heart of our ability to survive as well as thrive.
