Coffee & Conversation (Live and Virtual)

  • Rewired Pizza Cafe & Bar 1100 West Thorndale Avenue Chicago, IL, 60660 United States (map)

This popular discussion group is back in person! Join hosts Tom Murphy and John Williams at Rewired's fenced-in, open-air patio, 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:

  • Gender fluidity: should society change its treatment of traditional gender roles given recent emergence of gender fluidity— especially amongst the young? The use of new pronouns, etc.

  • Student loan forgiveness: Is the national student loan debt a problem of social justice or just an economic issue? If the former, will Biden’s recent initiative remediate injustice? If the latter, will the order have beneficial or detrimental economic consequences? How might we otherwise finance university-level education?

Register at least two days in advance by sending an email to tjmurphy4@comcast.net. You will then be sent the suggested readings and the Zoom link in case you are not able to attend in person.
