​The Overreach of Science in the Modern World

You’re invited to a special guest lecture by Roger Martin titled: The Overreach of Science in the Modern World

Roger Martin has spent his career challenging how leaders think. As former Dean of the Rotman School of Management and one of the world's most influential management thinkers, his ideas have shaped business education and executive decision-making around the globe.

In this provocative talk, Martin examines a question with profound implications for universities and society: Has science gone beyond its proper domain?

Drawing on Aristotle's original conception of science, he argues that applying scientific methods too broadly has come at a cost, in particular in education and how we train leaders.

We hope you will join us for this timely and thought-provoking conversation on the future of higher education.
