Nadia Bolz-Weber, “Let There Be Snacks (and Sex and Songs): Finding a Defiant Hope in What Makes Us Most Human,” the Fourth of Five Finite Futures Lectures 11/7/24

What if it’s too late to avoid some kind of ecological catastrophe? Maybe it’s not, and we should be doing everything we can so that it isn’t. Still, what if it is? Shouldn’t we also be talking about that? What kind of a future do we want to create for ourselves on such a horizon? What might it mean to collapse well?

Renowned speaker, Nadia Bolz-Weber, presents “Let There Be Snacks (and Sex and Songs): Finding a Defiant Hope in What Makes Us Most Human,” the fourth lecture in a series of free public lectures by internationally renowned scholars and public intellectuals made possible by the Henry Luce Foundation
