The University of Chicago Wisdom Research Forum 2014, published August 6, 2014, featured three lectures. Jason Swartwood, a philosophy doctoral candidate at the University of Minnesota, explored how wisdom is defined and recognized.

Sayuri Hayakawa from the University of Chicago Psychology Department discussed how bilingualism and language influence cognition. She noted that a lack of expertise can sometimes enhance creativity and lead to wiser decisions.

Guilherme Albieri of SUNY presented on wisdom's relationship to academic and clinical success. He highlighted that wise individuals possess superior self-regulatory and interpersonal skills, which mediate their interaction with the environment.

U.S. buildings are highly inefficient, accounting for 40% of primary energy use and emissions, and often negatively impact inhabitants. Bioneers brought together visionary architects Deanna Van Buren and Jason McLennan to redefine healthy, nature-honoring, and socially equitable built environments.

Van Buren (Designing Justice) creates "restorative" infrastructure addressing mass incarceration's root causes. McLennan, a leading "green" architect, champions truly "living" and regenerative buildings. This discussion explored how their distinct but vital visions for our built environment can be synthesized.

Moderated by Dawn Danby, this conversation was part of the 2022 Bioneers conference. Find more talks and discussions at bioneers.org.
