Thursday, November 2 | Noon - 1 p.m.
The Global Discovery Series joins the Penn Arts & Sciences Virtual Lightbulb Café faculty book series in a discussion with Kristen Ghodsee, professor and chair of Russian and East European studies, about her book Everyday Utopia: What 2,000 Years of Wild Experiments Can Teach Us About the Good Life. Ghodsee’s latest book is a tour through 2,000 years of audacious utopian thinking and experiments, with a trip around the world to explore places that reimagine how we might live our daily lives, from Danish cohousing communities to matriarchal Colombian ecovillages to Chinese microdistricts. Everyday Utopia offers a radically hopeful vision for how to build more contented and connected societies, alongside a practical guide to what we all can do in the meantime to live the good life each and every day.
