Arthur Zajonc, professor of physics at Amherst College, will lecture on "Spirituality in Higher Education: Cognitive Foundations and Practical Implications" on Wednesday, May 29, 4:30 p.m., in the Viking Theater, Buntrock Commons. Zajonc has an international reputation as an expert on quantum optics but is also a well-known commentator and social thinker concerned about the interaction of mind and consciousness with the physical world. He is an authority on the history of science and on Goethe, the great German thinker, poet and literary figure. An author of numerous works, Zajonc also is the former program director of the Fetzer Institute, which tries to combine science, consciousness and spirituality.
