School of Education
If at first you don’t succeed…” Failure has many cliches. But how do different fields (psychology, law, education, science, entrepreneurship, medicine, engineering and design, art, athletics) understand and navigate failure? What does it mean to have a healthy relationship with failure? How can we combat perfectionism, risk aversion, and the anxiety that we just don’t measure up? Drawing from scholarly literature, guest speakers, and personal experiences, we will explore the myriad dimensions of failure and how we might learn from it.
