(Boston, MA 02114)  Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University announces its Spring Season of seven public presentations, which not only address what should be on our minds, but also serve as a mechanism for citizens of the Commonwealth to stretch out in a casual setting and explore current topics that may only be familiar in passing. The Forum is the ideal opportunity to meet your neighbor while you both delve into topics that aren’t for the faint of heart.

The Forum hands the microphone over to the thinkers, doers, experts, and opinion leaders – and then over to you the audience – to discuss issues which will ultimately affect us all. Equal time will be provided for speakers’ remarks and audience members’ questions. As always, no Forum speaker goes unquestioned and no view goes unchallenged.

All events are free, wheelchair accessible, and conveniently located near the MBTA. Details on specific events are listed below. For more information, call the Ford Hall Forum at 617-557-2007 or visit http://www.fordhallforum.org. Ford Hall Forum at Suffolk University: "Provoking Thought: Listen. Learn. Engage."
