I'm holding a workshop on the Good Ancestor Principle at my home in San Diego Feb 19-20, 2008, a successor to last year's workshop. This year's theme will focus on various perspectives of Resilience, as well as some theoretical notions of retro information.

Fred is Founders Professor of Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas and an Uplift Academy Fellow.

The workshop will be a small, conversational group of people with both a deep personal and professional interest in the complexities humanity faces in working through the decisions of the next few generations. While recognizing the importance of a diversity of opinions and belief systems, the workshop will focus on how science can inform this topic.
