"In Over Our Heads?: The Hidden Curriculum of Adult Life"

Tuesday, September 29 at 7 p.m.

Robert Kegan
Professor of adult learning and professional development at Harvard Graduate School of Education

Do we continue to grow and develop in adulthood? According to Robert Kegan, we do and we must, if we are to master the “hidden curriculum” of adult life.

In his talk, Kegan will share what he has learned from his three decades of research into the potential for mental development in adulthood and demonstrate how understanding the hidden curriculum of adult development is essential to a person’s health and well-being.

Kegan is a licensed clinical psychologist and practicing therapist who teaches, researches, writes, and consults about adult development, adult learning, and professional development. His work explores the possibility and necessity of ongoing psychological transformation in adulthood; the fit between adult capacities and the hidden demands of modern life; and the evolution of consciousness in adulthood and its implications for supporting adult learning, professional development, and adult education. His seminal books, The Evolving Self and In Over Our Heads, have been published in several languages throughout the world.
