Cynic and Citizen of the World; Eric Brown, PhD; 8-Mar-2026
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. Several provocative features of Diogenes' Cynicism will be discussed, including especially the call to live as a citizen of the world.

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.
