Spotlight Series (Institute for Advanced Study x Northrop)

Each academic year the IAS picks one big theme and builds a run of free lectures, conversations, and performances around it, staged in Northrop's theater with a Q&A after every event. Recent years have tackled things like cosmic justice and the role of community in imagining a fairer society. It draws a curious, cross-disciplinary crowd of students, faculty, and city folks, and you can attend in person or watch on Zoom.
