AGS Summer Salon #1: Professor Myrick Discusses Arrival (film)

Our first Summer Salon Series event will be a discussion of the film Arrival (2016) directed by Denis Villeneuve, a story about a linguistics professor (played by Amy Adams) who attempts to communicate with extraterrestrial visitors that suddenly arrive in 12 locations across the globe. Professor Rachel Myrick (Political Science) will moderate an informal discussion on reactions to the film and what it reveals about prospects for international coordination and cooperation during times of crisis. Participants should watch Arrival in advance of the session. No other advance preparation is needed; the event will be recorded.
