The ancient Greek polis served as a laboratory for Western ideals of democracy. Today Greece is still a testing ground for the complexities of sovereign status in the greater Europe. Moral philosopher Martha Nussbaum will discuss what remains powerful in the ancient example. Then Ambassador Ioannis Vrailas, deputy head of the delegation of the European Union to the UN and a Greek national, will join us or a conversation about our contemporary moment.

Tickets range from $5-$15.
