Waking Life

This stunning, visually arresting film by Richard Linklater focuses on
lucid dreaming, the nature of dreams, consciousness, and existentialism. The film provokes deep thought while leaving you doubting what is real and believing what is dreamt.

Come and join us for film and discussion on related subjects.

The title is a reference to philosopher George
Santayana's maxim: "Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a
dream controlled."

Free and open to the public.

Held each Thursday at 7.00 pm during a shortened academic school year, this year we are opening the spring session earlier than usual. There is no snow and the temperatures are warm enough for our regular evening sessions.

" Poor Economics" ,
new highly relevant guide in a world where problems of inequality are becoming overriding, the book has the potential for the greatest impact as described by the judges who choose this book as
the 2011 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year.
 
Written by co-authors Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, two MIT professors who are part of  a group known as Randomistas,
 
this book has stirred up controversy. Its evidence-based approach is being seen as a method to bridge the gap between the two sides of development over the value of  aid. Opening questions on how to measure the impacts of  interventions, the book provides a real basis for innovation in policy and innovation in government.
Copies of  news coverage and reviews will be available in addition to a few copies of the book.
