Philosophizing Your Future

In our complicated world, what will your future look like? We'll gather texts from philosophy, history, and literature to help us wonder thoughtfully about this question. We'll think collectively about each person's possible futures, and we'll think philosophically about our collective futures in the 21st century. We will also host guest speakers who reflect on what a "career" is, for them, in this world.
