7:30 PM // Performance of A Tale of Two Cities

Post-Show Community Conversation in the Event Room – Second Floor

In this community conversation moderated by Emory Professor Karen Stolley (Spanish & Portuguese), Emory Professor Patrick Allitt (History) will explore how we might teach world history – including the late eighteenth century in France and Britain which is the backdrop for A Tale of Two Cities – to college and K12 students in ways that connect that history with today’s world? How do disruptions in politics, industry and technology affect the lives of everyday citizens?

Presented in partnership with the Center for Ethics at Emory University and the Emory Public Humanities Graduate Course. Community Conversation discussions are free for ticket holders. No RSVP required.
