Events List

Holiday observance, no classes.

Jonathan Eig will discuss his most recent title, “King: A Life,” which earned him the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. He’ll explore Martin Luther King Jr. as a deep thinker, brilliant strategist, and committed leader of one of history’s greatest movements. Jonathan will also explain why King’s demands for justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.

Todd Komarnicki will share stories and themes from his films including his most recent movie, “Bonhoeffer,” the inspiring true story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor turned assassin.

Through conversation, John Inazu will teach us how to disagree better while shedding light on how we often view our adversaries not only as wrong but increasingly as evil, resist notions of forgiveness, and distrust institutions that try to mediate our disagreements. These are all themes of his latest book, “Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect.”

Heather Templeton Dill will reflect on how a broad-minded philanthropic vision birthed in the 20th century has potential to impact individuals, institutions, and communities in the 21st.

Kristjan Prikk will present the Estonian and European perspectives on current challenges to global security, with a particular focus on Russia's war against Ukraine and the Western response.

We're excited to see you on a Saturday. There's always something going on!
