  • Attensity

Join us for a public book talk by D. Graham Burnett (Princeton University) on Attensity!, a new book by The Friends of Attention, a collaborative network of "attention activists." Attensity! "draws on a rich legacy of critical intellectuals and the creative wisdom of diverse traditions," and "calls on us to come together to defeat the greedy dehumanizing forces of brute instrumentalization—and re-enchant the world." 

This talk is free and open to the public. No registration required.
