Program Summary
How important is it to know what you know? How important is it to know what you don’t know?
Intellectual humility helps us know what we don’t know, and counters both arrogance and servility.
In contemporary society, arrogance is modeled at the highest levels of power.
Arrogance can also occur in our own lives—it may be easy for us to assume that we have more knowledge than we do.
Do the risks of arrogance, on the large scale and the small, include prejudice and racism?
On the other end of the spectrum lies intellectual servility. How often have you doubted your own abilities and knowledge?
How often have you seen your students doubting their abilities and knowledge? Does this disproportionately affect marginalized students?
This symposium explores the role of intellectual humility in countering both arrogance and servility.
Our primary question is: how can we facilitate the development of intellectual humility in education?
