Claiming Your Stanford Experience: Encountering People, Ideas, and Places

Engage your Stanford experience at a deeper, more authentic level through conversations with luminary Stanford faculty and experiential, creative immersions into signature Stanford places and spaces. Using a weekly fireside chat format with a cross-section of Stanford thought leaders, probe their ideas, scholarship, and research, ranging in scope from the humanities and arts to the social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering. Explore how their disciplinary points-of-view inform ways of seeing, understanding, and making sense of the world. Additionally, encounter an array of Stanford spaces (Frost amphitheater, the Farm, Hoover Tower, Windhover, and so on) through experiential modalities where a sense of place comes alive in new and surprising ways. Utilize photo documentation, poetry making, and other arts practices alongside generative contemplation, psycho-geography, and phenomenological encounters to broaden and deepen your lived experience of the Stanford world, your personal and scholarly place in it, and how you might construct your life beyond Stanford.
