In Conversations on Change, scholars and practitioners from the fields of art, science and religion discuss commonalities and differences amongst their views of political change. The discussion series is part of Melanie Crean’s The Shape of Change, a series of projects that examine our nation’s evolving concept of change, seeking to countermand the empty political brand the term was reduced to in recent elections. Melanie Crean is a full time faculty member in Parson’s School of Art Media and Technology. The three participants include

AA Bronson, artist, healer, and co-founder of the influential collaborative General Idea. Bronson is currently the President of Printed Matter, Inc.

Sean Gourley: physicist, TED Fellow and PhD who’s research on mathematical patterns that underlie modern war have been scrutinized by the Pentagon and the United Nations.

Sensei Jules Shuzen Harris is a Zen Soto priest, psychotherapist and 4th-degree Dan Black Belt in Iaido (the art of drawing and cutting with a samurai sword) & Kendo.

Presented on occasion of the Vera List Center’s 2009/2010 program theme “Speculating on Change.”
