In Lost in Thought Zena Hitz wrote about the hidden pleasures of an intellectual life and paid homage to the varied and sometimes surprising places in which the passionate pursuit of inquiry can be found. But what of the university? As institutions dedicated to research and teaching, one might expect them to be bastions of intellectual life and yet they are often not experienced that way. Is there an inevitable tension between the spirit of inquiry and the institutional nature of the modern university?

Join us for a conversation between Zena Hitz and the Elm Institute’s Scholar-in-Residence, Peter Wicks.
