This is a fun story! Is this actually a big deal at the College now? Do many students know about this? It looks interesting - and the sort of thing that could only exist at a few schools (Chicago, Swarthmore, St. Johns, etc.)
This is happening at UChicago now. The philosophy of divorce was last november. https://www.chicagomaroon.com/article/2018/11/20/divorced-professors-expound-trust-modern-marriage/
And yeah tons of people know about this. The week before everyone was like, “Are you going to see Agnes Callard argue about divorce with her ex?”
Definitely seems like a unique to UChicago event…
I’m intrigued; students and faculty learning from each other, taking their discussions from the dorm room to the hall.
