About the Speaker:
Colin Redemer is professor at Saint Mary’s College of California and Director of Education at American Reformer. He works at the intersection of classical thought and contemporary life. His focus is on ethical and political philosophy which naturally informs a theory of childhood education, and the question of what it takes to raise free human beings in an age of accelerating technology.
About the Talk:
What is education actually for? In an age of AI, algorithmic feeds, and a public school system that has openly given up on the deeper questions, the answer has never mattered more — or been more confused. Drawing on classical philosophy, and a few cautionary tales from the last century, Colin will offer a vision rooted in Christian anthropology of how to raise human beings who can pick up the technologies of this century with confidence, and put them down again.
About the Venue:
Revival Bar and Kitchen is a California Brasserie and Cocktail Lounge. Their food is sustainably sourced with an emphasis on organic ingredients. They use local farms and ranches who raise quality proteins and vegetables to keep their menu superbly tasty and resource efficient. These ideas inform their cocktail and wine program as well.
Revival is just a few blocks from UC Berkeley, and easily accessible. There is a BART station on the corner and three parking garages within a few minute stroll.
