• Britain in the World: Reflections on the Yale Center for British Art

  May 25

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Yale Center for British Art | Room: Auditorium — 1080 Chapel Street

  Amy Meyers, '85 PhD, Director, Yale Center for British Art

  In 2016, the Yale Center for British Art completed a major project to conserve its iconic building, designed by Louis I. Kahn. Within its refurbished spaces, the Center’s renowned collections were reinstalled and reimagined to present the complex story of the development of British art from the time of the Protestant Reformation to the present, seen within a wider global context. Since its reopening, the Center has been testing its new installation, as well as its exhibitions, and has begun to rethink how the institution’s program might be conceptualized into the future. On the eve of her retirement, Amy Meyers will reflect on the reinstallation project as it was originally conceived, and will discuss how the Center has been reformulating its program as new insights have begun to emerge. Time will be left to explore the galleries during non-public hours.

• Emotional Intelligence: From Theory to Practice

  May 25

  10:30AM – 11:30AM

  Sheffield-Sterling-Strathcona Hall | Room: 114 — 1 Prospect Street

  Marc Brackett, Director, Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence; Professor in the Child Study Center

  Emotions matter. What we do with our emotions is especially important. When perceived accurately and regulated effectively, emotions help us to focus on important tasks, make effective decisions, enjoy healthy relationships, and manage life’s ups and downs. In this presentation, Professor Brackett will describe the theory of emotional intelligence developed at Yale under President Salovey’s direction and share his decades of research on the relationship between emotional intelligence and important life outcomes. He also will discuss “RULER,” the Center’s evidence-based approach to teaching emotional intelligence in school systems, which has been shown to increase academic performance, decrease bullying, and enhance school climates. Finally, he’ll discuss how creating emotionally intelligent communities can help us to build a more happy, healthy, productive, and compassionate society.
