Spring 2020 Events Listing Released

After a successful fall slate of enlightening events, the 10th Biennial College of Arts & Sciences Symposium Against Indifference releases its Spring 2020 listing of events which is available online and in hard copy.

The spring events include:
  • a lecture on low-cost improvements to measuring air pollutants in Columbus, Ohio;
  • a panel discussion about corporate social responsibility;
  • a living history performance of Carrie Chapman Catt's woman's suffrage story; and 
  • a 4-part series on the Victims of Communism including: 
    • a personal story from a North Korean defector, 
    • lessons learned on the downfall of the Venezuelan democracy from a Venezuelan dissident 
    • a film screening of The Lives of Others which follows an East German surveillance, and 
    • a lecture on Havel's Rhetoric of Truth through Communist Czechoslovakia
Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing and protecting women’s right to vote, along with the ratification and appeal of the 18th Amendment prohibiting liquor — the 2019.2020 theme of “Liberty & Responsibility” seeks to understand and find productive responses to the constant and unavoidable tension between liberty and responsibility.
