Humanist Community Gathering

3 p.m. Saturday, March 20 (Online)

“Solidarity in the Shadow of the Pandemic ‘Dis-ease'”

Speaker: Bill Hart, chair of the religious studies department, Macalester College

Susan Sontag famously criticized the use of illness as metaphor, saying the language used to describe diseases can be moralistic and punitive. It can also obscure social realities rather than illuminate them. Our speaker will revisit Sontag’s critique in light of the Covid-19 pandemic and what it reveals about multiple forms of “dis-ease” in contemporary American society.

If you have thoughts about secular values, we have a place for you.
