For 15 years, Professor Shawkat Toorawa has offered "three things worth knowing" from literature, music and general knowledge, no strings attached. Each week during the academic year, "Dr. T" delivers a curiosity booster shot for anyone who wants to partake. It's his gesture toward true liberal arts and an ever-expanding appreciation of the rich and diverse world around us. A delightful discussion creating and connecting dots. Join us for a conversation all about why "should know" and "worth knowing" are so very different; cultural literacy and the fabricated division of "high" and "low" culture; the many gifts of sharing interests; and what's to be gained from a little constraint.
