Join hosts John Williams and Rich Norman at Rewired Café and enjoy locally roasted coffee and delicious breakfast items. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion. This week’s topics are:

• Reparations to African Americans in restitution for slavery and later institutional racism. What is the rationale? Who are the appropriate recipients? What form are the reparations? Any accountability for recipients?

• Free Speech on campus: Consistent with the US tradition of freedom of expression, what are appropriate principles in the limitation of public speech by invited speakers in a college setting? Is there a relevant difference between public and private institutions?

If you are interested in participating in our discussions but are not on our distribution list, send an email to joolikar@gmail.com and we will add you to the list.

Note: There will be no meeting on July 4; the next meeting will be on July 18.
