To celebrate 60 years of Star Trek, one of the longest-lasting pop culture franchises in the world, Gary and Addell will dig into the background of one of its least-explored elements: the philosophical ideal "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. They'll examine its origin story, including what led to its adoption in the show, and how the principle has been represented by the respective Star Trek series. From The Original Series through to Starfleet Academy Season One, you'll see how the shows commented on diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the last six decades. It promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking experience.
