Grounded: A Live Theater & Community Discussion Series — The Military Experience and Culture & the Ethics of War and Autonomous Warfare

Our Winter symposia consists of two free community conversations about military life & the ethics of war.  The discussions will take place at The Helena Avenue Theater, in conjunction with a live theater performance called “Grounded” by Raven’s Feather Productions (RFP).
Given the play’s focus & a shared interest in offering opportunities for the community to think together, we teamed up with its producer & director to offer discussions around some of the deeply human issues that the play presents. The result: two free symposia on the first and second weekends of the play’s launch. Learn more about the symposia topic and featured Humanities speakers here!
