The Power of Thought Experiments

Online Event

Have you ever wondered what it means to be immortal? Or how you would act in a life-or-death situation? Or what would happen if you could travel back in time? In The Power of Thought Experiments, award-winning philosopher Daniel Breyer of Illinois State University takes you around the world and across intellectual traditions to explore the power of thought experiments. And, critically, you won’t simply learn about influential thought experiments throughout history, you’ll work through them in your own thinking, question them, challenge them, and evaluate what power they have to expand our minds and inform our lives. Led by Alan Carter.

Meaningful Movies: Behind the Shield

Online Event

Come one, come all – grab some popcorn and watch Behind the Shield from MediaEd Foundation. In this film, Nation magazine sports editor Dave Zirin looks at the myth that the NFL was not involved in politics. Zirin digs into decades of league history tracing the guise of “sticking to sports.” This case study reveals how the power of American football has managed to spread false information about topics including the sanctioning of certain ideas about gender roles, systemic racism, and patriotism. At the same time, Behind the Shield documents the role of activist athletes, even before Colin Kaepernick and other Black NFL players took a knee. Join us and learn about numerous players’ challenges to change an unjust status quo in order to create a different, more democratic America.
