Freerange Press Book Launch: Public Knowledge

5:30pm refreshments for a 6pm start. Freerange Press wishes to thank Crater Rim Wines and Scorpio Books for their support for this event.

What do we know? And how do we know it? This multi-author volume explores the state of our public knowledge, its potential and how it affects our public life and conversations.

At this moment in the information age something has gone awry with our public knowledge. Are we cultivating an environment for the sharing of ideas? Who has access to the institutions and practices that hold our collective knowledge? Do we know when to act and when to delegate to experts? Is our education, in the broader sense of the term, sufficient for us to meaningfully participate in public life? With the need to find responsive solutions to the challenges facing us, the health of our public knowledge matters to us all.
