The Rise and Fall of Empires: Where is America in its trajectory?

What lessons, if any, should the U.S. draw from past empires to shape its future? Can empires reinvent themselves, or is decline inevitable? And how might technology and globalization change the traditional rise-and-fall cycle of empires? We’ll discuss questions like these and more as we gather during the month of America’s 250th anniversary.

Join us for engaging discussions as we address topics related to the impacts of modern technology. This is a discussion-friendly, curiosity-driven event designed for anyone interested in understanding themselves and others a little better.

Chill coffeehouse environment. Plenty of parking available. We'll split into groups if need be.

If folks would like to continue the discussion afterwards, or talk about anything else, we can head over to the next plaza to Cogburn's and grab a drink, low-priced wings and/or play a variety of bar games they have available (e.g. brand new pool table over there).
