Trinity University will host Adam Grant for the 2026 Flora Cameron Lecture on Politics and Public Affairs. The lecture, titled “Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Don’t Know,” is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. In Laurie Auditorium.
The Challenge of Rethinking
The lecture will address a critical issue in a rapidly changing world: the demand to rethink established assumptions. According to the university, many current strategies and practices were developed in a context that no longer exists. Grant, an organizational psychologist, argues that the skills needed for learning can sometimes hinder our ability to unlearn and adapt.
Grant’s presentation will draw from his No. 1 Recent York Times bestselling book, Think Again, which was described as “brilliant” by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman. He will explore how individuals can update their beliefs, encourage open-mindedness in others, and foster organizations that prioritize continuous improvement.
