Watch TSF Forums on iTunes U

Learning on the NJIT campus engages not only students, but alumni, faculty, staff and many friends of the university from other institutions and the surrounding community. A wide range of activities invites exploration of ideas and trends at the “edge in knowledge,” the diverse currents of thought and action that are shaping daily life around the globe. NJIT’s Technology and Society Forum brings key scientific, technological and social developments into sharper focus, offering both commentary and interactive exploration of the change that may be ahead for people in the United States and other nations—and how we can best prepare for such change.

2009-2010 Technology and Society Forum Series

Food, power and water — our global culture is facing major challenges with respect to each of these resources. But there are feasible and creative solutions, which will be explored by the speakers coming to NJIT for the 2009-2010 Technology and Society Forum Series. In a continuing Forum tradition, the new Series also includes a lecture and musical presentation by pianist and educator Richard Alston. In “Classically Black,” Alston will present the work of composers of African descent who have made significant contributions to classical music.
