Authors: Ezekiel Dixon Roman & Kenneth Gergen    Consulting Editors: David Hansen, Elena Silva, and Lee Shulman

Changing conceptions of knowledge, what it means to know and the social nature of knowing may force changes in what we accept as evidence of human capacity and the ways in which we measure it. The author of this paper is asked to explore the changing conceptions of knowledge, examine the tools we use as proxies for evidence of human knowledge, and speculate on possible futures of assessment.  VIEW DRAFT
