Doors & Cash Bar at 5.30pm | Talk at 6pm | Audience Q&A 7pm | Speaker Mix & Mingle 7.30pm – 8pm
Professor, author, and political expert Dr. Kennedy Stewart will draw from his experience in the political realm and academia to drive this thought-provoking conversation around Democracy & Science. Acknowledging that one cannot exist without the other, Kennedy’s goal with this event is to give the audience takeaway points to apply in their own lives.
Kennedy invites attendees to come prepared with examples of topics they are seeking solutions on, and will lead the audience through the methodology behind nuanced understandings of problems and their solutions.
Attendees are not required to share the topic that they have in mind if they are not comfortable; rather they can use it as a frame of thought to follow along the presentation from.
By blending audience interaction with lived and learned experiences, Kennedy’s talk aims to inspire problem solving and reaching consensus on the topics that matter to us all.
