What we’re about
Let's unpack texts together: Social Science, Anthropology, Psychology, and the Humanities and more!
Each month we'll discuss a selected book, academic article, or book excerpt.
Are you a curious mind who loves meaningful, thought-provoking conversations? Do you find joy in unpacking complex ideas and discussing the paths of humanism, evolution, psychology, and beyond?
Join us for our first meetup, where we’ll connect with others who share a passion for exploring big questions, examining classic and modern texts, and diving into ideas that shape the human experience. Whether you’re academically trained, self-taught, or simply fascinated by the world and the people in it, this group is about creating an inspiring space for discussion and discovery.

See all- Debt: The First 5,000 Years by David GraeberApres Diem, Atlanta, GA
Join us for a thought-provoking meetup as we dive into David Graeber’s Debt: The First 5,000 Years, a sweeping anthropological critique of money, obligation, morality, and power.
Graeber traces how debt has shaped — and distorted — human relationships across history, from ancient Mesopotamia to modern capitalism. Together, we’ll explore what debt reveals about the nature of exchange, social order, violence, and freedom.
This is a great meetup for anyone interested in anthropology, economics, or just understanding how money and morality intertwine in everyday life.Supplemental/Optional Reading: Marcel Mauss’s classic essay “The Gift," which inspired much of Graeber’s thinking. Available Online.
