Hosted in partnership with Vanderbilt University, the THE Liberal Arts Summit 2024 gathered leading voices from higher education and other sectors to reimagine the future of liberal arts education in an increasingly digital world.

Delegates gained insights into: how institutions teach and assess liberal arts worldwide; the power of international, cross-sector partnerships; practical strategies to harness the digital revolution; and the value of interdisciplinary approaches to elevate the relevance and influence of a liberal arts education.

Reinventing liberal arts in the digital age

• How can liberal arts lead the charge for a collaborative learning model where creativity meets empirical reasoning amid the real – and imagined – impacts of AI?
• How can liberal arts programmes demonstrate the unique value to communities, employers and other partners beyond academia?

Fostering interdisciplinary innovation: Merging arts and sciences

• Moving beyond the outdated dichotomy of arts and sciences, how can we integrate insights from the liberal arts to emphasise the enduring value in untilizing them to understand problems and drive change?
• How can we use interdisciplinary approaches to emphasise the value of a liberal arts mindset in pioneering solutions and adapting swiftly to changes throughout our communities?
