Next 'Life of the Mind' Lecture Series Scheduled for Oct. 30

The second in the 'Life of the Mind' lecture series on the theme of 'Security' is scheduled for Tuesday, October 30 from 3:30-5pm in the Russell C. Myers Alumni Center.

Free and open to the UC community and public, 'Life of the Mind' features interdisciplinary conversations with UC faculty around a one-word theme. Each quarter, there are two 'Life of the Mind' sessions with three 'thought provocateurs' contributing to each session. Each scholar provides a 15-minute talk followed by audience Q&A and a reception with light refreshments.

At the October 30th lecture, three distinguished faculty members will address the theme from unique and diverse perspectives:

• Adrian Parr, associate professor in the School of Architecture and Interior Design and the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, 'Securitybound: Cities in the 21st Century'
• Henry R. Nasrallah, professor of psychiatry and neuroscience, College of Medicine, 'Unstable Cortex (UC): The Jurassic Park of the Human Mind'
• Richard J. Harknett, associate professor of political science, McMicken College of Arts and Sciences, 'When Big Brother Meets Lord of the Flies: The Challenge of Cybersecurity'
