SUMMARY:[FAN] Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream David Leonhardt
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 2\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream\, a\nFAN webinar featuring David Leonhardt\, in conversation with Matthew Desmond\, Ph.D. \n\nRegister: www.bit.ly/LeonhardtFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Ours Was the Shining Future from FAN’s\npartner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Leonhardt that will\nstart immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nTwo decades into the twenty-first century\, the stagnation of living standards has become the defining trend of\nAmerican life. Life expectancy has declined\, economic inequality has soared\, and\, after some progress\, the\nBlack-white wage gap is once again as large as it was in the 1950s. How did this happen in the world’s most\npowerful country? And what happened to the “American dream”—the promise of a happier\, healthier\, more\nprosperous future—which was once such an inextricable part of our national identity? \nIn his first book\, Ours Was the Shining Future: The Story of the American Dream\, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer\nDavid Leonhardt draws on decades of writing about the economy for The New York Times\, examining the past\ncentury of American history\, from the Great Depression to today’s Great Stagnation\, in search of an answer. To\nmake sense of the rise and subsequent fall of the American dream\, Leonhardt tells the story of the modern\nAmerican economy as an ongoing battle between two competing forms of capitalism: one that envisions\nprosperity for most\, and one that serves the individual and favors the wealthy. In vivid prose\, Ours Was the\nShining Future traces how democratic capitalism flourished to make the American dream possible\, until the\nlatter decades of the twentieth century when\, bit by bit\, the dream was corrupted to serve only the privileged\nfew. \nLeonhardt is a senior writer at The New York Times\, where he writes its flagship newsletter\, “The Morning.” He\nhas also been the newspaper’s Washington bureau chief\, an op-ed columnist\, a staff writer for The New York\nTimes Magazine\, and the founding editor of “The Upshot.” \nLeonhardt will be in conversation with Matthew Desmond\, Ph.D. (FAN ’16\, ’23)\, the Maurice P. During\nProfessor of Sociology\, and the founder and principal investigator of The Eviction Lab at Princeton University. He\nis the is the author of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize winner Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American\nCity and Poverty\, by America\, both New York Times bestsellers. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World Devorah Heitner\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 6\, 2023\, 7:00 PM (on Zoom)\nRegister: http://www.bit.ly/HeitnerFANSponsor \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Growing Up in Public from FAN’s partner\nbookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Heitner and Stevens that will\nstart immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWith social media and constant connection\, the boundaries of privacy are stretched thin. Devorah Heitner\,\nPh.D.’s new book Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World shows parents how to help tweens\nand teens navigate boundaries\, identity\, privacy\, and reputation in their digital world. \nWe can track our kids’ every move with apps\, see their grades within minutes of being posted\, and fixate on\ntheir digital footprint\, anxious that a misstep could cause them to be “canceled” or even jeopardize their\nadmission to college. And all of this adds pressure on kids who are coming of age immersed in social media\nplatforms that emphasize “personal brand\,” “likes\,” and “gotcha” moments. How can they figure out who they\nreally are with zero privacy and constant judgment? \nHeitner shows us that by focusing on character\, not the threat of getting caught or exposed\, we can support our\nkids to be authentically themselves. Drawing on her extensive work with parents and schools as well as\nhundreds of interviews with kids\, parents\, educators\, clinicians\, and scholars\, Heitner offers strategies for\nparenting our kids in an always-connected world. \nHeitner will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, creative director of Parent Nation\, an initiative of the\nUniversity of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health. Prior to joining TMW\, Stevens worked at\nthe Chicago Tribune for 23 years\, where she wrote a daily column called “Balancing Act.” She maintains a\nweekly nationally syndicated column. Stevens also serves as a FAN board member. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Social Media and Adolescent Mental Health Mitch Prinstein\, Ph.D.\, ABPP
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 8\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Social Media and Adolescent Mental Health\, a FAN webinar\nfeaturing Mitch Prinstein\, Ph.D. and Eva Telzer\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Claudia Welke\, MD. \n\nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/PTFANWebinar\n \nFAN is excited to welcome back Mitch Prinstein\, Ph.D.\, ABPP (FAN ’17)\, the Chief Science Officer of the\nAmerican Psychological Association\, and the John Van Seters Distinguished Professor of Psychology and\nNeuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prinstein and his colleague Eva Telzer\, Ph.D.\,\na Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at UNC\, are the co-directors of Winston National Center on\nTechnology Use\, Brain\, and Psychological Development. \nFor this event\, Profs. Prinstein and Telzer will deconstruct the psychological science on youth technology and\nsocial media use. Using theories and methods from developmental cognitive neuroscience and developmental\npsychopathology\, their work seeks to understand how adolescents’ social media use may confer benefits to\npsychological\, social\, and neural development. They examine topics such as social media addiction\,\nassociations with mood\, digital stress\, the effects of social media on lost social opportunities\, peer influence\nprocesses via social media\, and the way social media use may be associated with brain development in\nadolescence. \nPrinstein’s research has examined interpersonal models of internalizing symptoms and health risk behaviors\namong adolescents\, with a specific focus on the unique role of off- and on-line peer relationships in the\ndevelopmental psychopathology of depression and self-injury. Telzer’s research examines how social and\ncultural processes shape adolescent brain development\, with a focus on both prosocial and risk-taking\nbehaviors\, family and peer relationships\, and the role of social media in youth’s lives. \nPrinstein and Telzer will be in conversation with Claudia Welke\, MD\, a child\, adolescent\, and adult psychiatrist\nand the Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Compass Health Center and Compass Virtual. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Career Arts: Making the Most of College\, Credentials\, and Connections Ben Wildavsky
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 9\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Career Arts: Making the Most of College\, Credentials\, and\nConnections\, a FAN webinar featuring Ben Wildavsky\, in conversation with Sara Allan. \n\nRegister: www.bit.ly/WildavskyFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Career Arts from FAN’s partner bookseller\nThe Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Wildavsky and Allan that will start\nimmediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nYoung people coming out of high school today can expect to hold many jobs over the course of their lives\, which\nis why they need a range of essential skills. Ben Wildavsky’s new book The Career Arts: Making the Most of\nCollege\, Credentials\, and Connections provides a corrective to the widespread and misleading notion that\nthere is a direct trade-off between going to college and acquiring practical job skills. Wildavsky cuts through the\nnoise and anxiety surrounding this issue to offer sensible\, clear-eyed guidance for anyone who is making\ndecisions about education and career preparation with a view to getting ahead in the workforce. \nDrawing on evidence-based research\, illuminating case studies\, and in-depth interviews\, Wildavsky shares the\nmost vital lessons of what he calls the career arts\, which include cultivating a mix of broad and targeted skills\,\ntaking advantage of employer-funded education benefits\, and preparing for the world as it is\, not as you wish it\ncould be. He explains why college remains the gold standard of credentials and presents the most promising\nhigh-quality supplements and alternatives to college that can help learners combine general and job-specific\nskills. He shows how building social capital is also critical to success\, particularly for disadvantaged students. \nWildavsky is a visiting scholar at the University of Virginia’s School of Education and Human Development. He is\nthe award-winning author of The Great Brain Race and coeditor of Reinventing Higher Education and\nMeasuring Success. He is the host and coproducer of the Higher Ed Spotlight podcast. \nWildavsky will be in conversation with Sara Allan\, the incoming president of the Valhalla Foundation. Before\nValhalla\, Allan was the director in the U.S. Education Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. She\njoined the foundation in 2011. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Class: A Memoir of Motherhood\, Hunger\, and Higher Education Stephanie Land
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 13\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood\, Hunger\, and Higher Education\, a\nFAN webinar featuring Stephanie Land\, in conversation with Molly Smith Metzler. \nRegister: www.bit.ly/LandFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Class to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details\non the webinar registration page. \nWhen Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir Maid\, she never could have imagined what was to come.\nHandpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019\, it was called “an eye-opening\njourney into the lives of the working poor” (People). Later it was adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid\, which\nwas viewed by 67 million households and was Netflix’s fourth most-watched show in 2021. Land’s escape out\nof poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. \nMaid was a story about a housecleaner\, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In Class: A\nMemoir of Motherhood\, Hunger\, and Higher Education\, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and\npursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system\, not having enough\nmoney for food\, navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn’t understand the\ndemands of attending college while under the poverty line—Land finds a way to survive once again\, finally\ngraduating in her mid-thirties. \nClass paints an intimate and heartbreaking portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with\npersonal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college?\nAnd what kind of work is valued in our culture? In clear\, candid\, and moving prose\, Class grapples with these\nquestions\, offering a searing indictment of America’s educational system and an inspiring testimony of a\nmother’s triumph against all odds. \nLand will be in conversation with award-winning playwright and screenwriter Molly Smith Metzler\, the creator\,\nwriter\, and executive producer of the Netflix limited series Maid\, which earned her an Emmy nomination for\nOutstanding Writing of a Limited Series. Maid was nominated for three Emmy Awards\, three Golden Globe\nAwards\, two Critics Choice Awards\, two TCA Awards\, The Humanitas Prize\, and more. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year Margaret Renkl
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 14\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year\, a FAN webinar featuring\nMargaret Renkl\, in conversation with Mary Laura Philpott. \nRegister: www.bit.ly/RenklFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Comfort of Crows from FAN’s partner\nbookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Renkl and Philpott that will\nstart immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year\, award-winning bestselling author Margaret Renkl presents a\nliterary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a\nyear. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day\, its resourcefulness and sense of\ncommunity setting a theme for the year\, to the lingering bluebirds of December\, revisiting the nest box they used\nin spring—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world\, and grief\nover winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer. \nAlong the way\, we also glimpse the changing rhythms of a human life. Grown children\, unexpectedly home\nduring the pandemic\, prepare to depart once more. Birdsong and night-blooming flowers evoke generations\npast. The city and the country where Renkl raised her family transform a little more with each passing day. And\nthe natural world\, now in visible flux\, requires every ounce of hope and commitment from the author—and from\nus. For\, as Renkl writes\, “radiant things are bursting forth in the darkest places\, in the smallest nooks and\ndeepest cracks of the hidden world.” \nWith fifty-two original color artworks by the author’s brother\, Billy Renkl\, The Comfort of Crows is a lovely and\ndeeply moving book from a cherished observer of the natural world. \nRenkl lives in Nashville and is a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times\, where her essays appear\nweekly. She will be in conversation with Mary Laura Philpott\, the nationally bestselling author of I Miss You\nWhen I Blink and the memoir Bomb Shelter: Love\, Time\, and Other Explosives\, which won the Southern Book\nPrize and was named a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and one of NPR’s “Favorite Books of\n2022.” \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are Tariq Trotter\, aka Black Thought
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 16\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are\,\na FAN webinar featuring Tariq Trotter\, aka Black Thought\, in conversation with Theaster Gates. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of The Upcycled Self to randomly selected Zoom\nattendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/TrotterFANWebinar\n \nToday Tariq Trotter—better known as Black Thought—is the platinum-selling\, three-time Grammy-winning cofounder\nof The Roots\, and one of the most exhilaratingly skillful and profound rappers the culture has ever\nproduced. But his story begins with a tragedy: as a child\, Trotter burned down his family’s home. The years that\nfollowed are the story of a life snatched from the flames\, forged in fire. \nIn The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are\, Trotter doesn’t just narrate a riveting and\nmoving portrait of the artist as a young man but gives readers a courageous model of what it means to live an\nexamined life. In vivid vignettes\, he tells the dramatic stories of the four powerful relationships that shaped\nhim—community\, friends\, art\, and family—each a complex weave of love\, discovery\, trauma\, and loss. \nBut beyond offering the compellingly poetic account of one artist’s creative and emotional origins\, Trotter\nexplores the vital questions we all must confront about our formative years: How can we see the story of our\nyoung lives clearly? How do we use that story to understand who we’ve become? How do we forgive the people\nwho loved and hurt us? How do we rediscover and honor our first dreams? And finally\, what do we take forward\,\nwhat do we pass on\, what do we leave behind? This is the beautifully bluesy story of a boy genius’s coming of\nage that illuminates the redemptive power of the upcycle. \nTrotter is one of the most powerful voices in hip-hop and the winner of three NAACP Image Awards and leads the\nhouse band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, joined by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (FAN ’21)\, cofounder\nof The Roots. \nTrotter will be in conversation with artist\, archivist\, and curator Theaster Gates\, a professor at the University of\nChicago in the Department of Visual Arts and the College. Prof. Gates creates work that focuses on space theory\nand land development\, sculpture\, and performance. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

Details on the webinar registration page. \nNone of us make it through life without experiencing loss that leaves us feeling broken. That’s what makes grief\nso normal. In Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It’s Time to Heal But You’re Not Sure You Want\nTo\, award-winning writer and speaker Kelly Cervantes isn’t trying to tell you what to do\, how to feel\, or the right\nway to heal. She’s also not flinging sunny thoughts\, vibes\, and prayers at you. After losing her daughter to\nepilepsy\, she knows that grief is many things. It’s weird. It sucks. It’s all-encompassing. Something everyone will\nhave to deal with. But never linear. Just as what we are grieving varies\, so do our journeys to process it. \nNormal Broken was born out of this desire to meet people where they are in their grief journeys\, to lend a hand\,\nor maybe to just sit in the dark with them. To acknowledge your brokenness and to feel broken together—never\npressured to “move on” or “think positive.” \nCervantes is an advocate best known for her blog Inchstones\, where she shared the stress\, love\, and joy that\ncame with parenting her medically complex daughter\, Adelaide. Since Adelaide’s passing\, Kelly has continued to\nwrite candidly about her arduous and\, at times\, contradictory grief journey. She is the current board chair for the\nnonprofit CURE Epilepsy and hosts their biweekly podcast\, Seizing Life\, where she interviews scientists\, doctors\,\nand individuals affected by epilepsy. Kelly currently resides in Maplewood\, NJ\, with her husband\, Miguel\nCervantes (currently starring in Hamilton on Broadway)\, four children\, and two dogs. \nCervantes will be in conversation with Christie Tate (FAN ’21)\, a Chicago-based writer and essayist\, Tate is the\nNew York Times bestselling author of the memoir Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My\nLife and the 2023 memoir B.F.F.– A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
