With 45 talks taking place around the state, Public Philosophy Week encourages Vermonters to examine timely topics — think education and small-town ethics — through a philosophical lens. Amanda Gustafson, a University of Vermont TEFL/TESOL instructor and member of Burlington rock band Swale, and Kimberly Harrington (pictured), author of Amateur Hour: Motherhood in Essays and Swear Words, tackle gender, aging and creativity in a joint lecture and Q&A. The local women provoke thought with “No Country for Old Women: Daring to Maintain a Creative Practice Even Though You’re a Lady, a Mother and Getting Older by the Minute.”
