A conversation among Professor Lord John Eatwell, President of Queens' College, Cambridge; the Honorable Dana Gioia, former Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, currently serving as Judge Widney Professor of Poetry and Public Culture; Alexander Marr, Associate Professor of Art History; and Nandini Rajagopalan, Captain Henry W. Simonsen Chair in Strategic Entrepreneurship, Director of Research at the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, and Professor of Management and Organization.
Business is a theory, a practice, and an art form. So is poetry. And so is politics. This session inaugurated the academic year 2011-2012 for the USC Sidney Harman Academy for Polymathic Study with a wide-ranging discussion among four diversely learned polymaths—an economist, educator, college president, and member of Parliament; a poet, arts activist, and former Chairman of the NEA; a distinguished scholar of the history of art, mathematics, and polymathy; and a world-renowned professor of business at USC---to discuss the business of art, the art of business, and the marketing of each enterprise.
A video of the discussion will be available for viewing soon. For more information, contact Dr. Karin Huebner, Director of Programs, at khuebner@usc.edu or 213-740-8747.
