CUNY Tech Meetup has a special opportunity to host a live recorded conversation on revolutionizing higher education with leading educational thinker Cathy Davidson (bio below) & digital learning specialist Marc Lesser (bio below) at the CUNY Graduate Center's Elebash Recital Hall on Tuesday January 23rd at 6pm.

Marc will interview Cathy about her new book, The New Education, & hear her thoughts on the future of the University, why the most successful students are content creators, not memorizers; & how humanities & social sciences majors are a benefit to the field of technology. The two will be joined by Queens College's own Temitayo Fagbenle, a CUNY student & award-winning youth journalist for WNYC's Radio Rookies. The event will be recorded live for the podcast, No Such Thing (https://nosuchthingpodcast.wordpress.com/)," & is sponsored by the Youth Studies Program at the CUNY School of Professional Studies.

Cathy Davidson, an educational innovator & a distinguished scholar of the history of technology, is an avid proponent of active ways of learning that help students to understand & navigate the radically changed world in which we now all live, work, & learn. She is Distinguished Professor of English & Founding Director of the Futures Initiative at the Graduate Center, CUNY, & the R. F. DeVarney Professor Emerita of Interdisciplinary Studies at Duke University where she served as Dukes (and the nations) first Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies.

A specialist in the fields of digital learning & youth development with broad experience in local & national contexts, Marc Lesser is currently the Youth Studies Fellow at CUNY SPS & produces & hosts the No Such Thing podcast. Marc is Senior Director for Learning Design at Mouse, a national youth development nonprofit that believes in technology as a force for good.
