2018 Socrates Cafe

10/4/2018

Picture
On October 30th, 2018 the Stone House Center for Public Humanities will be hosting its annual Socrates Cafe at the Collage Coffee and Art House in Grove City. Taking place one day before Halloween, the topic is most fitting. In a world of True Crime podcasts, documentaries, TV shows, and Hollywood movies, where do we ethically draw the line? When does fascination with infamous serial killers turn into glamorization? When does investigative journalism turn into breaching victim's privacy? At the same time, the rise of 'armchair detectives' finally finding answers for long cold cases has brought so many answers to so many families. In some instances, it has even brought about long over-due arrests or changed the way we police and prosecute crime for the better. Whether you proudly identify as a "murderino," simply watch the occasional Netflix true crime documentary, or are just curious as to why they cast American heartthrob Zac Efron as Ted Bundy -- we want to hear from you. Join us and the SRU Philosophy department for coffee and good conversation from 6 pm - 7:30 pm as we discuss why we're fascinated with True Crime and the ethical implications that comes with it.

2018 Live like a stoic week

On October 16th -18th this year, the Stone House Center for Public Humanities will be hosting its fourth annual Live Like a Stoic Week. CPH student worker and intern Lottie Johnson will be leading the event following in the footsteps of Dr. Andrew Winters of previous years. Our event will take place over three evenings, during which we will be hosting an open discussion about the history and evolution of stoicism, related meditative and reflective practices, as well as learning how these tools continue to be effective today. Our goal is for our attendees to leave the event with a functional knowledge of stoicism to increase mental calmness, resilience in the face of difficulty, and an increased awareness of the causes and effects of one's own actions.

October 16-18
7:00PM-8:00PM
SRU Ski Lodge
207 Rock Pride Drive
Slippery Rock, PA 16057
