Join us for a conversation with political scientist, author and distinguished professor, Penny Gill, who taught European and Comparative Politics at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts for over three decades. She will discuss her new book based upon conversations with her Tibetan teacher, Manjushri. With her vast experience in global politics, Penny can help us look at the radical changes going on—here and around the world—not only socially and morally, but politically and existentially. She can help us ask, "Could the societies we have built be founded upon ideas and institutions which are no longer sustainable?" and "How can we each be a 'force for good' in the changes which are inevitably coming?" For more information on Penny Gill and her book click here.
