Fill up your cup of coffee or tea and join us for our popular, biweekly virtual conversation about current events facilitated by Tom Murphy and John Williams. Each week’s discussion is typically accompanied by some readings you’ll receive in advance via email. This week’s topics will be:

• Public land statues: What criteria should Mayor Lightfoot’s commission apply for its review of retention of existing statues on public land?

• Vaccination issues: once vaccine is finally available for all, how far can our government push its use by all? (Educational measures only? Non-criminal penalties? Criminal penalties?).

• Masks/social distancing/quarantine issues

• Rise of Christian Evangelical nationalism: Is it on the rise and, if so, then what is the effect on current political life?

• Future of work in an Increasingly “robotized” and “gig”-type workplace economy?

Register at least two days in advance. You will then be sent the Zoom link to join along with suggested readings.
