Consider This: What Democracy Needs with Hélène Landemore

On Thursday, June 18th 2026 at 7:00 pm, join Oregon Humanities for a conversation with the extraordinary poet and novelist Naomi Shihab Nye about nations and communities. What makes this nation, the United States, what it is? How do nations change over time, and what moves those changes? How do communities become what we hope them to be? How should we strive to live together in community?

This event will take place in-person at the Alberta Rose Theatre, 3ooo NE Alberta Street, Portland OR 97211.

Tickets are available from the Alberta Rose Theatre website and box office. General admission tickets are $15.
