TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Eight people with Topeka ties have spoken to a roughly 250-person audience at the city’s TEDx conference.
The Topeka Capital Journal reports that the presentations at the Topeka Civic theater Tuesday included topics such as helping women grow up with confidence, what people can do to help feed the world and one woman’s experience coming out as transgender.
Washburn University professor David Carter opened the event by explaining how people can generate collaboration and self-awareness, and build up those around them, through what he calls the “lesser seat,” or humility.
Washburn Law professor Lori McMillan also explained how three common tax myths relate to Kansas.
TEDxTopeka is an independently organized conference licensed by TED, which stands for technology, entertainment and design. This was the city’s second TEDxTopeka.
