Why Plato Matters Now
Angie Hobbs in conversation with Jon Hawkins and Peter West
By positioning ourselves at the intersection of the ancient and the modern, we can draw on Plato to address key questions concerning the nature of a flourishing life and community, healthcare, love and friendship, heroism, reality, art, and myth-making.

Indigenous Redirections in Political Thought
Yann Allard-Tremblay in conversation with Leila Ben Abdallah
Indigenous traditions provide a political model that is nonhierarchical, noncoercive, and primarily focused on the need to sustain and preserve relationships with others, other-than-humans, and the land itself.
Monday 2nd February
What Is We?
Ragini Tharoor Srinivasan in conversation with Tara Emelye Needham
By seeing “we” as a method for enacting, apprehending, contesting, and instrumentalizing boundaries, this event will invite us to confront the challenge of failure, embrace the possibility of impossibility, and acknowledge the hallucinatory nature of the universal.
Monday 23rd February
Critical Theory of Finance
Wendy Brown, Melinda Cooper, Stefan Eich and Aaron Benanev in conversation with Paul North
For the last 50 years, finance played an ever-larger role on both the public and private sides of the world economy. And yet, finance hardly has a place in critical and philosophical accounts of capitalism. In this event, we will discuss interest, credit, exotic debt instruments, portfolio culture, and a world economy that by some estimates is 60% finance-related.
Monday 9th February
On Loneliness
Kaitlyn Creasy in conversation with Kate Warlow-Corcoran
In this event, Kaitlyn Creasy will invite us to consider the potential value of loneliness as a means to self-knowledge; an opportunity to identify the specific needs and desires we must seek to fulfill in order to live a life that is meaningful to us.
