Think & Drink

 

Think & Drink is a happy-hour series that sparks provocative conversations about big ideas. The series, which invites the public to think and talk together, reflects Oregon Humanities' emphasis on infusing important public conversations with critical thinking and fresh ideas. All Think & Drink events are free and open to the public.

Those of you in Portland who can’t attend our Eugene Think & Drink might want to attend an upcoming talk by Tom Krattenmaker, author of “Onward Christian Athletes” on christianity in an age of religious diversity. Presented by PSU Department of Religious Studies. February 25, 12:00-2:00 PM, Smith Student Center, Rm. 338.

To get everyone thinking about tomorrow evening’s Eugene Think & Drink about sports and American culture, I thought I’d share two websites that have some interesting information about the topic.

The first is the webpage for an upcoming conference called A Mirror of our Culture: Sport and Society in America:

And the second is a blog dedicated to the philosophy of sport:
