Cross Currents: Frameworks of Intelligence

Join us for the latest iteration of Cross Currents, a series using visual art as a catalyst for interdisciplinary dialogue, "Frameworks of Intelligence" explores how different fields understand knowledge itself. Drawing from artist Mare Martin's practice of daily sketching as a method of knowing—not capturing, but comprehending the world—this panel brings together experts in AI, philosophy, education, and religious studies to challenge how we validate and value different ways of understanding.

• Dr. David Squires, Professor of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette/Moderator
