SUMMARY:[FAN] Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It's Time to Heal But You're Not Sure You Want To Kelly Cervante
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 28\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Normal Broken: The Grief Companion for When It’s Time to Heal But\nYou’re Not Sure You Want To\, a FAN webinar featuring Kelly Cervantes\, in conversation with Christie Tate. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CervantesFANWebinar\n \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Normal Broken from FAN’s partner bookseller\nThe Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Cervantes and Tate that will start\nimmediately after the webinar. 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 30\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America\, a FAN webinar\nfeaturing Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Claire Bond Potter\, Ph.D. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Democracy Awakening to randomly selected Zoom\nattendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/RichardsonFANWebinar \nDuring the impeachment crisis of 2019\, Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.\, professor of history at Boston College\,\nlaunched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. It soon turned\ninto a popular Substack newsletter\, Letters from an American\, and its subscriber base ballooned to more than\ntwo million dedicated readers who rely on her plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in\nAmerica. \nIn Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America\, Prof. Richardson crafts a compelling and original\nnarrative\, explaining how\, over the decades\, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American\nideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism — creating a\ndisaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel\nimportant again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s\ntrue history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this\nnation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. \nProf. Richardson’s talent is to wrangle our giant\, meandering\, and confusing news feed into a coherent story\nthat singles out what we should pay attention to\, what the precedents are\, and what possible paths lie ahead. In\nher trademark calm prose\, she is realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Her command of history\nallows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch\nMcConnell\, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal\, the lingering fears of socialism\, the death of the\nliberal consensus and birth of “movement conservatism.” \nProf. Richardson will be in conversation with Claire Bond Potter\, Ph.D.\, Professor of History Emeritus at The\nNew School for Social Research in New York City\, and the author of the Political Junkie Substack and an\nassociated podcast\, Why Now? She has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, the\nNew Republic\, Yale Review\, and Dissent. Her most recent book is Political Junkies: From Talk Radio to Twitter\,\nHow Alternative Media Hooked Us on Politics and Broke Our Democracy. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 13\, 2023\, 7:00 PM\, Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds\, Evanston Township High School Auditorium\, 1600 Dodge Ave\, Evanston\, IL 60201. Interviewer: Kevin Warren. BONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Lucky Me at the event\, while supplies last. No registration required. \n“The minute I met Rich\, I knew he was different … [He] helped me find my strength. Rich’s superpower isunderstanding what people truly need. So when you flip these pages and witness the kind of pain we feltgrowing up\, don’t flinch. Hard truths make us stronger.”—LeBron James\, from the Foreword to Lucky Me. \nSuper-agent Rich Paul is the CEO and founder of Klutch Sports Group\, one of the most influential and culturally relevant sports agencies in the world. His roster is comprised of a who’s who of professional athletes. He has been both incredibly successful and profoundly disruptive to the world of professional sports. There’s a story about Paul that everyone knows: A twenty-one-year-old kid from Cleveland who sells sports jerseys out of his car meets a high school basketball phenom named LeBron James at an airport—the two become friends and forge a decades-long partnership that reinvents the business of sports. That random meeting might seem like the lucky break that changed Paul’s life. But a moment of good fortune means nothing without the struggle that gets you there and the lessons you carry with you to the other side. \nLucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds is a memoir of an extraordinary journey told in Paul’s blunt\, philosophical style. How did Paul grow into an individual capable of changing an American institution like the NBA? How did he become so disruptive to traditional power structures that the NCAA tried to bar his entry to the league by implementing a rule requiring that agents have college degrees\, which many dubbed the “Rich Paul Rule?” Lucky Me starts by charting how Rich became a gambler at an early age—his fast mind and gift for finding an edge made him a devastating dice roller who could hold his own with grown men\, win big\, and walk away alive. Shooting dice wasn’t just a pastime; it was a way to earn money for his family as his mother struggled under the weight of drug addiction. Paul dreamed of becoming a star athlete\, but the streets were where he\nthrived\, building a lucrative enterprise on shaky ground. When he found himself at a dangerous crossroads\, he summoned the teachings of his past to create a different future. \nMr. Paul will be in conversation with Kevin Warren\, President and CEO of the Chicago Bears\, the first Black President and CEO in Club history and the first President and CEO hired from outside the organization. A veteran executive of 21 years in the NFL\, Warren joined the Bears after spending the last three years as Commissioner of the Big Ten Conference. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded but not live streamed and will be available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal
DESCRIPTION:In Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal\, Bettina L. Love\, Ph.D. argues forcefully that\, with the release of the 1983 report “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform\,” Ronald Reagan’s presidency ushered in a War on Black Children\, pathologizing and penalizing them in concert with the War on Drugs. New policies punished schools with policing\, closure\, and loss of funding in the name of reform\, as white savior\, egalitarian efforts increasingly allowed private interests to infiltrate the system. These changes implicated children of color\, and Black children in particular\, as low performing\, making it all too easy to turn a blind eye to their disproportionate conviction and incarceration. \nPunished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal\nBettina L. Love\, Ph.D.\nWilliam F. Russell Professor at Teachers College\, Columbia University and author of We Want to Do More Than Survive. \nGanae McAlpin-Toney\nDirector of Equity for Evanston Township High School D202 and the facilitator for the second-year induction program. \nWednesday\, September 27\, 2023\, 7:00 PM (on Zoom)\nRegister: www.bit.ly/LoveFANWebinar\nAND: A book giveaway\, sponsored by FAN!

SUMMARY:[FAN] Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic and What We Can Do About It
DESCRIPTION:Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic and What We Can Do About It\, featuring Jennifer Breheny Wallace and Denise Dubravec. \nThe event will take place at New Trier High School\, Northfield Campus\, Cornog Auditorium\, 7 Happ Rd.\, Northfield\, IL 60093. \nNOTE: First 100 households will receive a free copy of Never Enough. Books will also be on sale. No registration required. \nIn the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future\, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes\, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities\, and even sabotage relationships with friends to “get ahead.” Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety\, depression\, and even self-harm in America’s highest achieving schools. Parents\, educators\, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them?

SUMMARY:Parenting Through Puberty: Changing Kids in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Do you wonder how to open the door for conversation with your child\, who seems to be changing rapidly — and responding with BIG emotions even more rapidly — who communicates primarily through social media\, and who seems to be evolving into someone you aren’t sure you really know? \nDo you need help finding ways to approach them so they actually listen? You are not alone. \nThis presentation is designed to support parents in navigating some of the difficult topics of adolescence\, including body changes\, emerging sexuality\, and increasing peer relationships. Parents will learn concrete strategies to support their child and practice skills to keep communication open. \nThis program is open to the public and is part of the District 34 ParentConnect Program. D34 ParentConnect is the parent education initiative designed to provide ongoing opportunities for parents to learn and connect throughout the year. It has been a partnership between District 34 and the Family Service Center (FSC) and\, new in 2022-2023\, look for important parent programs from GNCY!
