This post at Crooked Timber is interesting if only for the list of possible conference speakers it generates http://crookedtimber.org/2005/05/27/interdisciplinary-query/ The question was: ~We are trying to think of a keynote speaker who represents the idea of learning and scholarship across institutions. Someone who crosses borders and who combines disciplinary perspectives. It could be a novelist who writes about science; or someone like Stanley Fish or William Buckley Jr, or ... Can you think of any compelling polymaths (famous or otherwise) that could represent the notion of cross-domain writing/thinking?~ What do you think of the people they suggest? Can you improve upon on the list? http://crookedtimber.org/2005/05/27/interdisciplinary-query/ Sue
