Speaker:
Elizabeth Bruenig (Opinion Writer, The New York Times) in Conversation with Agnes Callard (Philosophy, UChicago)
Description:

At this event, we will discuss the following questions (and more):

  1. What makes some events count as news?
  2. Why do opinion columnists want to tell other people their opinions?
  3. What is the role of vengeance and forgiveness in our response to large-scale injustice? 
  4. How do journalists think about the right to privacy?
  5. Does one have a duty to stay abreast of the news?

We hope to “see” you there!
