The Philosophers' Café is a public forum in which community members discuss interesting contemporary issues in a relaxed and informal setting.

Our next meeting is November 13, 7pm, at Brewery Nonic. The topic is "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity: Why the Controversy?" and will be moderated by Dr. Rickie-Ann Legleitner (Interim Executive Director of Inclusive Excellence, UW-Stout). Here is the abstract:

"In recent years, DEI initiatives across the country have faced heavy scrutiny from politicians and their constituents. These attacks include attempts to ban books, cuts to funding for DEI positions and programming, bans on teaching or using certain language in K-12 and college classrooms, overturning Affirmative Action in higher education admissions, and questioning the qualifications of “DEI hires” to effectively perform their jobs. Our discussion will explore where the scrutiny of DEI comes from, who is impacted by these attacks, and who benefits and who loses when this criticism gains traction."

Join us for some fun discussion! Everyone is welcome!
