Tuesday, September 17 at 9:00AM, Fiat Lux Redux presents bestselling author and New Yorker staff writer Adam Gopnik on The National Emergency: On Liberal Institutions, Protecting Pluralism, and Free Debate.
Gopnik discusses what liberalism means, why we need it, and the endless dedication it requires to maintain. This event was held at and sponsored by the Townsend Center for the Humanities at UC Berkeley, with the generous support of Humanities West, San Francisco on April 24, 2024.
Fiat Lux Redux presents previously aired lectures, conversations, and podcasts originating on the campus of UC Berkeley every other Tuesday from 9am to 9:30am. These often-lengthy original programs have been edited to a 30-minute format by experienced KALX producers. The show’s name, Latin for “Let there be light”, is a reference to the University of California’s motto, which is also Fiat Lux. The show’s goal is to provide listeners with a window into the intellectual and cultural life of UC Berkeley and to showcase the wide range of subjects and diversity of thought and ideas that are present at UC Berkeley.
