    This talk will introduce one of the most arresting figures of ancient Greek philosophy, Diogenes of Sinope, the founder of Cynicism. Diogenes is the subject of some entertaining stories, which will be shared, but he is also a figure of great importance to ancient Greek and Roman culture, and a figure whose provocations retain their punch.

    What Is Happening Now: Immigration, ICE, and Our Shared Responsibility; Mirka Estrada; 15-Feb-2026

    Join us for a timely and grounding conversation on immigration, enforcement, and ethical responsibility. As public attention intensifies around ICE activity and immigration policy in the United States, it can be difficult to separate fear from fact. Drawing on her work supporting immigrant communities in St. Louis, Mirka will offer context on what is happening right now, how immigration enforcement impacts real families and neighborhoods, and what it means to respond with integrity rather than panic. This talk will focus on truth-seeking through lived experience, evidence, and ethical reflection. Mirka will invite us to consider how communities can act as informed and compassionate allies by centering dignity, clarity, and shared responsibility in moments of uncertainty.

    The Psychology and Neuroscience of Magic; Zi the Mentalist; 1-Feb-2026

    Magicians can perform seemingly impossible feats. Objects appear and disappear, change and transform. But how do these things happen? Zi teaches the science of how our senses really work, and how the work of magicians exposes the flaws in our perception that are normally invisible to us in everyday life.

    And Then They Came For Me; Christi Griffin; 18-Jan-2026

    In this powerful and timely talk, Christi Griffin, J.D., founder president of The Ethics Project, explores the quiet progression from indifference to injustice -and how the erosion of fairness in one arena inevitably seeps into all others. Drawing on decades of experience addressing systemic inequities and wrongful prosecutions, Griffin reflects on the moral and civic costs of apathy in the face of injustice. What began as the targeting of others has now reached into every corner of society -from the closing of rural hospitals and family farms to the rollback of educational opportunities and personal freedoms. Through this urgent lens, she challenges audiences to recognize the warning signs of authoritarian drift and to reclaim the courage to care, to speak, and to act before silence becomes complicity.

    Truth Grows in a Garden We Tend Together; James Croff, EdD; 11-Jan-2026

    Sometimes we imagine truth as the result of a contest of ideas. In the "marketplace of ideas", we tell ourselves, the best truths win. But truths are not singular things like products vying for our attention, and the epistemic landscape we inhabit is not like a supermarket or online shopping portal. Rather, truth is the result of collective effort, and flourishes only in the right environment: truth grows in a garden we tend together.
