Description

Peter Stoicheff, the president of the University of Saskatchewan and outgoing chair of the U15 group of Canada’s research-intensive universities, discusses the role of the humanities and social sciences in a world increasingly shaped by technological disruption, artificial intelligence, and polarization, and why, in his view, their value is not diminishing but in fact growing.
