Navigating a Polarized World

Join us for a series of interviews and moderated discussions on managing and even thriving in a chaotic world.

No registration is required.

Buddhism: Overcoming Suffering and Finding Hope

Monday, Nov. 30 | Noon – 1:25 p.m. | MCC 201

Host: Matthew Phillips, Associate Professor of History

Guest: Constance Kassor, Chair of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Humanities Center and Scholars Academy

Are suffering and conflict simply parts of being human that must be endured, or can we learn to face them in ways that allow us to live with hope and meaning — and even strive for positive change? Join us as we explore how Buddhism answers these questions and consider how Buddhist practices and perspectives might inform how we respond to suffering, conflict and change in our own lives.

In association with the History department at Metro, the History Club at Metro and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Food and drink provided by the Mandel Center for the Humanities
