The Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues invites you to look at our calendar of programs for the Fall semester, many of which implicitly invite us to “Rethink Normalcy”. Under this broad notion, we are sponsoring three “mini themes” for the coming semester: “Climate Crisis”, “Languages, Rights and Translation”, and “Criminal Injustice” (which also
happens to be the theme of the Office of Equity and Inclusivity).
