Climate change, nuclear war, structural inequality, disinformation. Such so-called “wicked problems” require collaboration across fields to generate solutions. No one field is the answer.

Dean Deborah Nelson hosts a conversation with media theorist Patrick Jagoda and astrophysicist Daniel Holz, SM’94, PhD’98, about the important role humanistic thought and artistic practice and design can play, alongside the sciences, in tackling the wicked problems that face society today.
