Abstract
Evolutionary theory is rapidly expanding beyond the biological sciences to include all human-related subjects. EvoS is the first program to comprehensively reflect this trend in higher education.
Now EvoS is itself rapidly expanding in a number of directions, including:
- as an Institute for Advanced Studies for fostering research;
- as the hub of a nationwide consortium of programs;
- as a mechanism for integrating the sciences and humanities; and
- as a mechanism for improving the quality of life in the real world.
I will review these developments and the opportunities that they provide for undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty at BU and beyond.
