Thank you to all who joined us earlier this week for the Panel Discussion presented as part of Bruce Barber’s project, The Bertrand Russell Reading Room. Insightful presentations and discussion covered a wide range of themes relating to Bertrand Russell and his continued relevance today. The Museum is grateful Bruce Barber (artist/NSCAD U professor) and McMaster University faculty Virginia Aksan, James Ingram, and Neil McLaughlin for participating and bringing their diverse, engaging and thoughtful perspectives to this discussion.

We documented the event, and are pleased to share it below (and on McMaster Museum of Art’s Youtube Channel).
