Ithaka Lecture with Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert

To a large and spell-bound audience at College Street last night, Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert spoke with warmth, deep sincerity and striking openness about her horrifying experiences while falsely imprisoned in Iran for two years.

Hers is an extraordinary story compellingly told by an extraordinary person, and her key message was both simple and inspiring: human connection is the fundamental basis of our lives and our capacity to survive and thrive.
