Event Details

Why get up in the morning anyway?  USC Professor Florence Clark has some answers.  Professor Clark helped pioneer the field of occupational science – how and why, although deceptively simple, everyday activities are actually extraordinarily complex, giving life purpose and meaning, impacting health, and making life worth living to all of us.  For this reason, human beings need to carefully think about how they structure personal and public time.  Dr. Clark has also been key in advancing the related profession of occupational therapy.
