Thomas Lecture and Performance Series featuring Sebastian Junger

Join us for an evening with bestselling author and filmmaker Sebastian Junger as we examine the urgent work of building and strengthening community. Drawing on the themes that shape his storytelling, Junger will illuminate how people forge connections in difficult circumstances as they balance individuality with the common good. Through the stories he shares, Junger invites us to consider how solidarity becomes not just possible, but essential. We’ll explore what his narratives reveal about belonging, courage, and the bonds that hold groups together, both in his books and in our everyday lives.

Presented by the Lloyd B. Thomas Lecture and Performance Series in collaboration with the College of Arts and Science’s Open Minds Initiative, which is dedicated to the purpose and promise of higher education, bridging ideological differences, and strengthening democratic values on campus and beyond.

This event is free and open to the community.
