Symposium
on Race Relations and Ethics
Location
Growlers from Vermont Brewfest (Black Rye IPA) and Cape May Brewery (Wheat IPA and Saison) will be up for grabs. I also have homemade mead and dandelion wine.
As the host doesn't drink liquor, feel free to bring a drink of choice (assuming you're 21). (Happy belated 21st birthday, Rob).
Also, this chick that's hosting prefers (AKA demands) that no one drink and drive. There's a tiny, but very comfortable couch in my apartment. Otherwise, bring some blankets and camp out on my floor.
P.S. Call me when you're outside--or else you can't get into my building.

"How to Host a Symposium"
We also have to decide on a format. Small groups require more moderators to keep the conversation on track, lead the discussion with open-ended questions and take notes to bring back to the overall group. We could either break down the group into 3 by systems of ethics, or we could discuss each system as a group.
Nick will likely record the actual discussion for funzies.
We should also delegate a conversation leader. The Harwood Institute likens the rules to those for a “kitchen table conversation.” Everyone participates, no one dominates.
