"No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world" - [Dead Poets Society]

In this session we discuss the problems affecting schooling and higher education leading to a decline in classics, critical thought and liberal arts education more broadly. Cut programmes, gutted curriculum, entire departments defunded. This trend in the 20th & 21st century is referred to as the "crisis of the humanities".

Join us for a night of deep discussion, drinks and intellectual sparring.

Relevant texts have been posted to the community Discord.
