Wit & Wisdom: Can Latin America Teach Us How Power Hides?

A public lecture on how power works in everyday life. How do habits, work, and systems affect what we notice? Why do some activities seem natural? How does that impact what kind of change feels possible?

Presented by Kenny Knowlton.

Kenny Knowlton grew up in Brazil training horses. And now teaches philosophy at Linfield. He focuses on careful thinking, social change, and philosophy as a practical tool.

Doors open at 6pm with food and beverages available via the Taproom window, talk starts at 7pm. All ages welcome and never a cover.
