Season 1: Tracing Ideas Across Generations
Season One of How Ideas Travel presents personally intellectual stories of how ideas develop across generations. We interview luminaries in the field of human development to explore how they were inspired by a teacher – Jean Piaget, the namesake of our organization – and shifted their foundational ideas and research programs in unpredictable generative ways over time. These stories seek twists and turns of ideas guiding research careers, thereby also raising questions about any linear notion of professional life, like human development. This inaugural series is designed to address the often silent issue of standing on the shoulders of giants while creating knowledge beyond their horizon.
