About Event
Tracy Clark Flory and Sarah Rich lead a discussion about Penn historian Kristen Ghodsee's book, Everyday Utopia: What 2,000 Years of Bold Experiments Can Teach Us About the Good Life.
"[T]aken together as a panorama of different ideas and combined with some reflections on the communities adapting those visions to the real world today," Ghodsee writes. "I think they can help us consider different ways of organizing our lives to deal with a number of contemporary issues we face in the twenty-first century."
Or as the Thomas Piketty blurb on the cover says: "Utopia is back! And it ought to be taken seriously."
Vibes: Speculative, conversational, clubby
