Upcoming Burack Lecture

Monday, Nov. 6th, 5:00-6:15, Sugar Maple Ballroom

LARISSA MacFARQUHAR

New Yorker staff writer, author of Strangers Drowning: Impossible Idealism, Drastic Choices, and the Urge to Help

Charity may begin at home, but where should it end? Should we help the worst off, even at the expense of people we love? And how much does morality demand of us? In her lecture, Larissa MacFarquhar will tell the stories of people who live lives of extraordinary moral commitment, for whom these issues are not theoretical but acutely real.
