Overview
How would life improve with innovative transportation systems, ample clean energy, and improved healthcare outcomes? A future of abundance is possible, but we are faced with big questions around barriers that are holding us back.
This symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars to explore how academic research can be leveraged to bolster human flourishing and abundance in society. Topics will include technology, immigration, health, and energy.
This event precedes the Southern Economic Association annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. IHS will provide a stipend to offset one night of hotel accommodations for non-local attendees.
