Armidale’s first ever Skeptics In The Pub event will be held on Wednesday 24 April in the downstairs section of the Wicklow Hotel, corner Marsh and Dumaresq Streets.
Future topics for presentations will range broadly across subjects such as health, medicine, science, technology, history, politics, the social sciences and the arts. On April 24, the inaugural speaker will be University of New England Professor of Sociology Alan Scott, who will examine the current re-emergence of the “Political Strong Man”, including Trump and Putin. Do we need to worry? What does history show? What scenarios are likely? Why is it important we all understand the Strong Man phenomenon? A lively discussion is always a feature of skeptics meetings.
The evening will kick-off from 6pm for drinks, meals and socialising with the presentation from 7pm.
