RISE

RISE 2027 invites interdisciplinary and globally engaged scholarship exploring the future of human development in the twenty-first century. We are especially interested in work that moves beyond narrow definitions of intelligence and performance to consider the fuller dimensions of what it means to be human.

Possible areas of exploration:

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Learning, cognition, reflection, and wisdom

Creativity and imagination in technologically mediated environments

Emotional intelligence, resilience, and psychological well-being

Burnout, anxiety, and mental health

Leadership, relational intelligence, and organizational culture

Human connection, belonging, trust, and community

Ethics, morality, spirituality, and meaning

Human dignity and flourishing

Rehumanizing organizations and institutions

Human-centered leadership and organizational design

We especially welcome interdisciplinary work exploring the intersections among mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of human flourishing
