Human Intelligences: An Update — Howard Gardner and Daniel Goleman in Conversation

Howard Gardner and Daniel Goleman

Join renowned psychologists Howard Gardner and Daniel Goleman for a conversation about their groundbreaking research on what defines human intelligence and how it is transforming in real time — and Gardner’s new book, The Essential Howard Gardner on Education.

Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences and Daniel Goleman’s theory of emotional intelligence transformed the way American educators taught their students in the ‘80s and ‘90s. Gardner’s new book constitutes a vast contribution to our understanding of learning, and how to create environments that support growth in students of all ages. In 2024, his work raises fascinating new questions. What is the nature of intelligence? Is it inherently human? How do machines, animals, and plants learn? What can this teach us about human knowledge? In this illuminating conversation, hear two brilliant experts shed new light on Gardner’s groundbreaking work and how to define intelligence now — and find out how an expanding definition of intelligence is shaping our understanding of education, the mind and human nature itself.
