Final Trek Talk Examines Starship Communities

The final Trek Talk lecture, from 6-7 p.m. April 26 in the Del and Norma Robison Planetarium, will be hosted by Zac Burden, coordinator for residence life. In his talk “Starship Communities: How the Future of Fellowship Showcases What We Crave Now,” Burden will examine how community plays out aboard “Star Trek” ships and space stations, and what that says about aspirations today. He will explore how community interaction is a cornerstone for the series vision for the future and how this separates “Star Trek” from other space faring, science fiction universes.
This is an in-person event, but those who wish to attend via Zoom should email Jared Young at jyoung@truman.edu.
