The happy-hour series, which sparks provocative conversations about big ideas, is sponsored by Oregon Humanities.

Aaron Bady was featured in Atlantic Monthly for his November 29 post, “Julian Assange and the Computer Conspiracy; ‘To destroy this invisible government.’”

Peter Laufer is James N. Wallace Chair in Journalism at the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication.
