Theme: The Outliers

What makes someone or something special? Why do they differ from the average?

This year's theme invites our community to examine uniqueness in the world, exploring "The Outliers" around us.

Our speakers take us through distinct paths in the outliers of diverse disciplines. Whether from economics, psychology, linguistics, or mathematics, we will explore the commonalities of outliers with a multidisciplinary approach.

Join us in discussing these ideas at Havergal College.
