    John V. Clyne Lectures at Green College: The Future of University Study—Ideas in Dialogue
  • Where do our students live? Where do they study? Starting from the current ambitious dormitory building project at UBC, this first lecture in a series of three by Robert Gibbs explores two ideas about university study: isolation and permeability. The lecture will conclude with the concept of urban epistemology, offering reflection on how students also learn in the city.
