Examined Lives: Thinking together about things that matter with philosopher Andy Norman

Topic: Civil Disobedience and Troubled Times

Join us as we discuss the role of civil disobedience in combating injustice. How did Gandhi and Martin Luther King employ these tactics? What do they involve? Will civil disobedience be needed in the weeks and months ahead? Can it help us address racial injustice? Can we use it to prevent our troubled country from sliding into tyranny? Can we use it to bring about needed change and simultaneously de-escalate political tensions?
