 (English/ILA)\, & Provost David Quigley\n\nA liberal arts education has alw
 ays had the ability to transform a student\, and thus to transform how they
  choose to organize their time in adult life: both the time they spend at w
 ork and the time they spend at leisure. Yet the factors influencing what so
 rts of work and what sorts of leisure are available are in a state of incre
 asing flux.  From AI-driven automation\, to globalization\, to infinite ent
 ertainment delivered instantly to the palm of your hand\, the general condi
 tions of work and leisure are undergoing a radical transformation.\n\nIn th
 is shifting landscape\, what role do the liberal arts have to play?  In add
 ition to a liberal education being valuable for its own sake\, how can it p
 repare students for an economy in which whole sectors of work may rapidly s
 hrink or disappear\, e.g.\, through off-shoring or automation?  And how can
  it help students develop the habit of spending their free time well\, in t
 he face of endless possibilities for distraction?  This conference will see
 k answers to these questions.
