About this Event

Мир Дж. Роулинг – драматичный, полный неравенства и несправедливости, и борьбы с ними – не может не вызывать сравнений, аллюзий и ассоциаций с привычным нам миром. Проблемы прав человека в этом вымышленном мире поднимаются буквально каждый день: а что такое человек и есть ли права у магглов? Как защитить права меньшинств и почему у Гермионы это не получается? Чем Гарри Поттер похож на Мартина Лютера Кинга?

Об этом и не только поговорим с Дмитрием Дубровским 5 марта в 7 pm.

Дмитрий Дубровский – историк и социолог, кандидат исторических наук, сотрудник Карлова университета в Праге.

Стоимость участия 10 $, которые идут на развитие Белого Кролика. Не забывайте, у нас совсем небольшой зал, приобретайте билеты заранее, чтобы точно попасть.

The world created by J. K. Rowling is dramatic, deeply unequal, and filled with injustice—and with the struggle against it. It inevitably invites comparisons, allusions, and parallels with the world we live in.

Questions of human rights arise in the wizarding world almost daily: What does it mean to be human, and do Muggles have rights? How can minority rights be defended—and why does Hermione fail in her efforts? In what ways is Harry Potter similar to Martin Luther King Jr.?

These and many other questions will be explored in a conversation with Dmitry Dubrovsky on March 5 at 7:00 pm.

Dmitry Dubrovsky is a historian and sociologist, PhD in History, and a researcher at Charles University in Prague.

Language of the event will depend on the audience and may be English or Russian.

Admission: $10 (all proceeds support the White Rabbit).
Please note: our venue is small, so advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended.
