Participants will be invited to present for 5 minutes on their
comprehensivist/Polymath/multidisciplinary explorations or their approach to being a comprehensivist/Polymath.

Welcome to the series "Comprehensivist Wednesdays". Transdisciplinarity, Renaissance humanism, homo universalis, and Polymathy are some of the ways of describing this approach which Buckminster Fuller called Comprehensivity and described as “macro-comprehensive and micro-incisive”.

The first, introductory, event from "Comprehensivist Wednesdays" can be watched on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjwTy6pGkNA
