Coffee & Conversation

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. Topics for the subsequent week are decided at the previous discussion. This week’s topics are:

  • Chicago is finally getting a casino. What will be some of the advantages and disadvantages of it to Chicago and its residents? How has the site selection process been handled by the Mayor and City Council?

  • What is 'Free Speech' and what should be its limitations? How has social media complicated its meaning? Are controls on social media necessary and, if so, who makes and enforces them?

Register at least two days in advance by sending an email to tjmurphy4@comcast.net. You will then be sent the Zoom link to join along with suggested readings.
