Description
Pack a lunch, invite a friend, and join the discussion! May's selected TED Talk is "How language shapes the way we think" by Lera Boroditsky. Drawing from her research in cognitive science, Boroditsky explores the ways in which different languages - with different sounds, structures, and vocabularies - impact the ways in which we think. Community members are invited to bring a sack lunch to this free event; dessert and coffee are provided.
What they are: TED Talks are short, carefully prepared, idea-focused talks that foster learning, inspiration, and wonder.
Why we like 'em: no matter the topic covered, these talks provoke conversation and inspire listeners to continue thinking and learning far after the presenter has finished
How to join: bring your lunch to the library and join in as we watch a highly rated TED Talk and continue the conversation amongst ourselves
What else should I know? Coffee and dessert are provided
