"Sense in the City:" A lunchtime Wednesday virtual discussion series with the Center City Residents Association, led by Hugh Taft- Morales, Philadelphia Ethical Society
Wednesdays, 12 noon–1:30 PM; 1/19, 2/9, 2/23, 3/9, and 3/23
Join us via Zoom for one or all sessions.
How
can citizens nurture constructive dialogue that respects everyone and
helps make our society more equitable and inclusive? How can we live
more meaningful, engaged, and responsible lives? Join Hugh Taft-Morales,
Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society, for a series of guided conversations about community, differences, and justice.
Hugh
will offer a humanist perspective about some ethical and personal
challenges we confront, followed by whole-group and small-group
conversations. Come share what inner resources, spiritual traditions,
and behavioral habits help you live more fully and fairly when
navigating life in Philadelphia.
January 19, 12:00noon-1:30 PM
Public Spaces and Thoroughfares
In
an increasingly privatized world, how can public spaces become
welcoming and inclusive oases open to people of all backgrounds and
identities? Why are what sociology Prof. Elijah Anderson calls
“cosmopolitan canopies” so important? How can thoughtful urban design
and lighting improve our town squares? How do pedestrians, bicycles, and
cars navigate our shared thoroughfares? Register here.
