Have We Lost Control of Our Brains?

Join Dr. Gloria Mark, Chancellor’s Professor Emerita at the University of California, Irvine, and author of Attention Span, for a thought-provoking conversation about how technology is reshaping our minds, emotions, and relationships. Drawing on her latest research, Dr. Mark will explore how society is responding to rising loneliness, shrinking attention spans, and weakening critical reasoning. But this path is not inevitable. She will also share practical strategies for using technology more intentionally so it strengthens our focus, deepens our connections, and supports the future of human capabilities.
