Disgraced confronts issues of race and identity and how we relate to one another in a contentious political climate. Amir Kapoor, a successful Pakistani-American lawyer who is rapidly moving up the corporate ladder while distancing himself from his cultural roots, is caught up in a case against a local Imam. The perception of Amir's involvement in the defense of the Imam ripples through his work, his marriage to his white wife Emily, and ultimately explodes at a dinner party with his African American business partner and her Jewish art dealer husband. The couples' discussion turns to questions of religious faith, and what begins as simple dinner conversation escalates into something far more damaging. Disgraced ultimately reveals the prejudices and racial biases often simmering just below the surface.

From a philosopher's perspective, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein operates on several levels: a philosophical exploration of what it means to be human and the nature of moral responsibility, the nature of science and scientific knowledge-at a pivotal and transitional moment in the history of science-and of the role of the scientist in society. Contextualizing these philosophical and scientific issues helps us see Frankenstein as a fascinating and provocative exploration of questions about human nature and the human condition, the quest for knowledge, and the nature of moral responsibility. Dr. Michael Ashooh specializes in the philosophy of science and explores the context in which Frankenstein was written, and the lasting scientific and moral questions raised by this modern myth. Dr. Ashooh is a lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Vermont. Montshire Talks: Frankenstein200 is a Montshire conversation series that celebrates the 200th anniversary of the publication of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein". Free and open to the public. Sponsored by Ledyard National Bank.
