Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines Webinar

Lumina Foundation President and CEO Jamie Merisotis and Puerto Rican Endowment for the Humanities Executive Director Margarita Benítez conduct a virtual “fireside” chat on human work with Federation President Phoebe Stein facilitating a Q & A session after the chat.
