Public Talk: Connection, Meaning, and The Future of Work in the AI Century
We invite you to join us on March 26th, at 6pm, in the Blue Ridge Room in Highsmith Student Union for a public talk from our Spring 2026 Highsmith Distinguished Visiting Scholar, Author Allison Pugh. Dr. Pugh is a Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University and Bestselling author of The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World.
Her talk on "Connection, Meaning, and the Future of Work in the AI Century" is one that is relevant to all in this rapidly-changing world as we see AI changing the landscape of the job market and workplace. Dr. Pugh explores the meaningful connections people forge as part of their work and how this is impacted by technology.
