BIG THOUGHT SERIES: Belief and the human imagination
In Person
This year-long series of lectures, panels and discussions will help us all to consider the origin, nature, and consequences of our individual and shared beliefs from religious faith to superstitions to conspiracy theories. Why and how do we believe the things we do? Where do those beliefs come from and what experiences in our lives inform, strengthen, challenge, or change them? How dependent are our individual lives and our lives as citizens upon a set of shared beliefs? And how do we reconcile our beliefs with those whose beliefs contradict our own, especially when those other believers are our fellow citizens, our colleagues and friends, or members of our family?
