Can the world be governed—and if so, by whom?

After the Cold War, global institutions were seen as a pathway to peace, stability, and progress. But today, that dream feels out of step with reality.

What does justice look like in real life—not in courts or textbooks, but in daily choices, emotions, and relationships?

From Hollywood icons to grandma’s vanity to TikTok trends—rose perfume has always been more than a fragrance.

Can you believe in both science and something greater?

We’ve long treated science and religion as opposing forces—but is that really the full picture?

Join us at Monday Night Brewing on Aug 21 for a thought-provoking talk with Dr. Jonathan Roth, neurobiology professor at UAB. He’ll explore how our brains shape belief—and what it means to move beyond the 'either/or' narrative we’ve inherited.
