The Promise and Peril of Social Change    NEW!

We will explore social changes and how people choose to adapt to or resist them. Potential topics for discussion include the changing landscape of gender identity, attitudes about social welfare programs, and right-to-die movements. We may also discuss advances in technologies such as self-driving cars and chatty artificial intelligences and what these mean for our lives going forward. Do these disruptions threaten to dissolve or perhaps expand our conception of what it means to be human?
