Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI)
Jun 2023 - Jul 2023FellowAbout DISIA new community exploring intelligence, mind, and cognition in all its formsOur world is full of intelligences—diverse manifestations of mind and cognition, of agency and awareness. How do these radically different forms come about? What core properties do they share? What can we learn from minds that are nothing like our own? How can we better understand intelligences by modeling, building, and programming them? Answering these questions will not be easy. It will require breaking down the boundaries that divide traditional academic disciplines; it will require forging new frameworks and imagining radically new approaches. With generous funding from the Templeton World Charity Foundation, the Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute is building a new community: a vibrant network of early-career scholars who are devoted to bold, transdisciplinary inquiry into the origins, nature, and future of intelligences.Breakthroughs in our understanding of diverse intelligences will also require new stories. The community we are building also includes storytellers who can provoke, challenge, and startle us—who urge us to consider intelligences of radically different character and to contemplate what these intelligences mean for humanity.The Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute (DISI) brings this nascent community together for a few intense weeks each summer. Admitted fellows and storytellers engage with our world-class faculty in a rigorous program of lectures, seminars, projects, meals, salons, and more. Show less
