Tuesday, October 7th, 2014
Doors open at 6:00 pm. Event begins at 7:00pm.

The Ebola outbreak reminds us that religious and scientific perspectives coexist uneasily in social responses to epidemics. Join us as Dr. Mitchell Hammond explores the origins of a modern conundrum in European history after the Black Death of 1348.



What is a Café Historique? A group of interesting people in a convivial café setting, who gather to hear a talk and discuss new ideas about how the past has shaped our present and future, as well as to drink, eat, converse, meet friends, and have an evening to remember.

 Café Historique is a pay-what-you-want event and is open to the public. Seating is limited, so to guarantee a place, audience members should reserve tickets at this website:
