Mugar Hall 201

A dialogue on anger, rage bait, and the pursuit of a better world

In both digital and real life, there are seemingly endless reasons to be angry. What does anger tell us about the world and our experience of it? What is the difference between righteous anger and unproductive rage? How should we navigate digital spaces where “rage bait” content keeps us angry to elicit clicks and views? This will be a moderated conversation followed by audience Q&A. Thai food from Sugar & Spice will be provided!

A Conversation on Human Dignity and Whether We’re Meant to Care for Everyone

​How should we understand the worth of others, near and far? Does culture shape our perceptions of dignity? What are some practical considerations for helping others when our lives already feel stretched thin? All are invited to join a conversation about these questions and more, featuring Dr. Nancy Hill (Harvard) and Dr. Rebecca Riccio (Northeastern), followed by a time for audience Q&A.


All are welcome to come and discuss how we understand human dignity!

​Thai food from Sugar & Spice will be provided.
