On 30 October, 2015, 17:00 – 18:30, Prof Michael Wheeler (University of Stirling) will give the project’s second public lecture on ‘The Knowledge Ecology: The Past, Present and Future of Knowing with People and Things.’

Abstract. As a cognitive phenomenon, knowledge is often thought of as residing within the heads of individual human beings. By reflecting on a range of issues – including the plight of Roman memory slaves, the lessons of twentieth century German philosophy, and our children’s education in an increasingly networked technological world – I shall challenge this idea and explore certain consequences of a profoundly different view.

The lecture will take place at  at G. 07 of the Informatics Forum and it will be followed by wine reception at the atrium.
