A series of conversations, readings, discussions, and debates sponsored by the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities.
Join us this spring as the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities launches a new program called Big Ideas @ TU.
Each semester the center will sponsor a campus-wide discussion of a significant book, film, exhibition, or
performance.
In keeping with our focus on the topic of privacy, we will begin this new program with a conversation about Dave Eggers’ best-selling novel, The Circle, moderated by Associate Professor of English, Robert Jackson.
Join us in a discussion of the book that will touch on ideas about technology, privacy, and democracy. The conversation will be held in McFarlin Library’s Faculty Study on April 6 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
If you wish to participate, please reserve a space by emailing humanities@utulsa.edu. The event is free and open to the public
About The Circle: Set in a California technology company that links together users’ lives through promises of sharing and openness, the novel follows the career of an idealistic young woman who lands what seems to be the perfect job. But she quickly gets caught up in suspense-driven story that raises urgent questions about memory, history, democracy, privacy, and the limits of human knowledge.
