We feel it important for students to be encouraged both to explore the role of innovation in U.S. and world history and to develop their own sense of innovation and creativity. FPRI&#8217;s Program on Teaching Innovation is co-directed by Lawrence Husick, Senior Fellow, FPRI, and Paul Dickler, Senior Fellow, FPRI&#8217;s Wachman Center. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Teaching The History of Innovation&#8221; is the subject of a webcast produced by the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
