How people understand what it means to be human shifts with time and culture. What are the possibilities of human life? This question is especially poignant in the age of artificial intelligence. Much of recent human history — the last five hundred years — has primarily defined humanity as distinctive due to cognitive ability. The Great Questions Studio is a four-week workshop at Evermay that explores life’s big questions through curated readings, dialogue and reflection, facilitated by Rev. Dr. Karissa Thacker.
