Jeni Cross was invited to speak at the University of Miami (UM) in April after their Associate Provost for Research heard her speak elsewhere. Jeni’s lecture “Solving Complex Problems Requires New Teams” addressed UM’s interests in integrating students, community members, and communal ethics in research. A lunch and learn followed. “I have read some of your papers and seen your TED talk, and think that hearing about your work, strategies and experiences would just be terrific,” said the UM professor in her invitation.
