The Surveyor’s Wisdom:
Land Surveying & the Integration of Knowledge
JUNE 11 |12PM-1PM ET
Presented by: Joseph T. Stuart, Ph.D.
Land surveyors link the worlds of white-collar engineers in the office with blue-collar construction workers in the field. They need to integrate multiple kinds of knowledge to make sound professional judgments. Without surveyor’s wisdom to guide them, they too easily apply mathematics and measurement technology illegitimately to problems requiring other kinds of knowledge, too, in order to be solved accurately, legally, and ethically. Why do we often lack surveyor’s wisdom? Presenter Joseph Stuart reflects on how the history of surveying and modern work culture help us to understand the forces undermining surveyor’s wisdom while also providing clues for how to recover it.
