UNLEARN

What Does It Mean To Unlearn?

Before we can truly move forward, we sometimes have to let go. In a world overflowing with information, traditions, and routines, it is easy to mistake the familiar for the truth. But growth begins when we pause, reflect, and gently release the assumptions and habits that no longer serve us. This year, TEDxTexasStateUniversity invites you to explore the power of unlearning. To unlearn is not to forget. It is to reflect. It is to grow. It is about rethinking old stories, reexamining what we’ve accepted without question, and discovering new perspectives that open the door to possibility. Our speakers will share powerful ideas from across technology, health, the arts, media, science, and the humanities. Each one will invite us to see the world with a fresh perspective and consider what might emerge when we let go of the familiar. Join us for a day of curiosity, connection, and discovery as we unlearn together and uncover the insights, opportunities, and wisdom waiting just beneath the surface.
