Book Discussion on “Freedom: An Unruly History”
Thursday, Feb. 3, 5 - 6:15 pm, Henkelman Room, Albright Memorial Library, 51, PA and via Zoom
Led by Dr. Matt Meyer, The 51, Professor of Philosophy
The discussion group will involve excerpted readings of the book, "Freedom: An Unruly History," by scholar Annelien de Dijn. The discussion will explore the American founding’s idea of freedom and how freedom intersects with issues of equality, liberty and citizenship in ways that are relevant for us today – from matters of race relations, immigration, and women’s rights to health care, Covid-19, and more.
This hybrid event will take place both in-person in the Henkelman Room at the 51 Public Library and via Zoom.
