SUMMARY:[FAN] The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World Allison Pugh\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 23\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World\, Latin School of Chicago\, Wrigley Theatre\, 59 W. North Blvd.\, Chicago\, IL 60610. \nNo registration required. Book sale and signing at the event. \n“Digital systems are rapidly replacing human beings because\, we are told\, they are more efficient and less biased. The Last Human Job offers a refreshingly novel criticism of this logic\, spotlighting the vital connective tissue created by human interaction that machines cannot possibly replicate.” – Dorothy Roberts\, Weiss University Professor of Law & Sociology\, University of Pennsylvania \nWith the rapid development of artificial intelligence and labor-saving technologies like self-checkouts and automated factories\, the future of work has never been more uncertain\, and even jobs requiring high levels of human interaction are no longer safe. The Last Human Job: The Work of Connecting in a Disconnected World explores the human connections that underlie our work\, arguing that what people do for each other in these settings is valuable and worth preserving. \nDrawing on in-depth interviews and observations with people in a broad range of professions—from physicians\, teachers\, and coaches to chaplains\, therapists\, caregivers\, and hairdressers—Allison Pugh\, Ph.D. develops the concept of “connective labor\,” a kind of work that relies on empathy\, the spontaneity of human contact\, and a mutual recognition of each other’s humanity. The threats to connective labor are not only those posed by advances in AI or apps; Pugh demonstrates how profit-driven campaigns imposing industrial logic shrink the time for workers to connect\, enforce new priorities of data and metrics\, and introduce standardized practices that hinder our ability to truly see each other. She concludes with profiles of organizations where connective labor thrives\, offering practical steps for building a social architecture that works. \nVividly illustrating how connective labor enriches the lives of individuals and binds our communities together\, The Last Human Job is a compelling argument for us to recognize\, value\, and protect humane work in an increasingly automated and disconnected world. \nPugh\, professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University\, will be in conversation with Nick Hatzis\, MD\, a board-certified general and child and adolescent psychiatrist and medical director of Meridian Psychiatric Partners’ Child & Adolescent Division. \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] Polostan: An Evening with Neal Stephenson
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 21\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Polostan: An Evening with Neal Stephenson\, The Book Stall\, 811 Elm St.\, Winnetka\, IL 60093. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Polostan at the event. SPACE IS LIMITED — REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://bit.ly/StephensonFANEvent \nThe #1 New York Times bestselling author of thirteen previous critically acclaimed works of fiction\, including Termination Shock and Cryptonomicon\, Neal Stephenson delivers the first part of an epic new historical trilogy that illuminates the origins of the Atomic Age with Polostan: Volume One of Bomb Light. Centered around an extraordinarily intrepid\, resourceful\, and lively protagonist with roots in both America and Russia\, the novel spans two continents and many of the seminal events of the early twentieth century as Stephenson weaves a spellbinding tale of social and economic upheaval\, revolution\, espionage\, invention\, sport\, and romance. \nAs The Atlantic has recently observed\, “Perhaps no writer has been more clairvoyant about our current technological age than Neal Stephenson. His novels coined the term metaverse\, laid the conceptual groundwork for cryptocurrency\, and imagined a geoengineered planet. And nearly three decades before the release of ChatGPT\, he presaged the current AI revolution.” \nStephenson is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the novels Termination Shock\, Fall; or\, Dodge in Hell\, Seveneves\, Reamde\, Anathem\, The System of the World\, The Confusion\, Quicksilver\, Cryptonomicon\, The Diamond Age\, Snow Crash\, and Zodiac\, and the groundbreaking nonfiction work In the Beginning . . . Was the Command Line. He is also the coauthor\, with Nicole Galland\, of The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. His works of speculative fiction have been variously categorized as science fiction\, historical fiction\, maximalism\, cyberpunk\, and postcyberpunk. In his fiction\, he explores fields such as mathematics\, cryptography\, philosophy\, currency\, and the history of science. \nBorn in Fort Meade\, Maryland (home of the NSA and the National Cryptologic Museum)\, Stephenson comes from a family comprising engineers and hard scientists he dubs “propeller heads.” He holds a degree in geography and physics from Boston University\, where he spent a great deal of time on the university mainframe. \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] Twenty-Four Seconds from Now ... An Evening with Jason Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 18\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Twenty-Four Seconds from Now: An Evening with Jason Reynolds\, Evanston Township High School Auditorium\, 1600 Dodge Ave.\, Door 6\, Evanston\, IL 60201. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Twenty-Four Seconds from Now at the event\, while supplies last. No registration required. \n“Reynolds astounds in a sweetly hilarious story of two Black teens preparing to take a huge first step in their relationship. In frank stream-of-consciousness prose\, Reynolds rewinds the teens’ heartfelt romance to showcase its development in reverse: 24 hours before\, Neon was avoiding his homework by scrolling through videos he’d recorded of his classmates. And 24 days earlier\, Neon was strolling the neighborhood with Gammy and the family dog\, Denzel Jeremy Washington. As events roll backward\, Neon has conversations with numerous richly wrought supporting characters\, including his effervescent musician friend Dodie and his open and loving sister Nat\, all of whom regale Neon with their thoughts on sex and love (with varying degrees of embarrassment and enlightenment for Neon). Sex-positive messaging encourages vulnerability in personal exploration as well as open conversations about bodily autonomy and consent. Authentically tapping into the way teens think\, Reynolds delivers a mighty exaltation to Black love in this moving story of one boy’s growth and the community that fosters it.” – Publishers Weekly Starred Review \nFAN is thrilled to host #1 New York Times bestselling author Jason Reynolds in celebration of his first YA romance\, Twenty-Four Seconds from Now … A LOVE Story. The book has received high praise in advance of publication for its “tender\, sweet\, wholesome” story that shows a “refreshingly different side to male sexuality.” \nReynolds will do a dramatic recitation of the first chapter of the book from memory and then have an in-depth discussion with the audience. Afterwards\, he will pose for pictures with audience members. \nReynolds is a Newbery Award Honoree\, a Printz Award Honoree\, a two-time National Book Award finalist\, a Kirkus Award winner\, a Carnegie Medal winner\, a two-time Walter Dean Myers Award winner\, an NAACP Image Award Winner\, and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors. He’s also the 2020–2022 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. His many books include All American Boys (cowritten with Brendan Kiely)\, When I Was the Greatest\, The Boy in the Black Suit\, Stamped\, As Brave as You\, For Every One\, the Track series (Ghost\, Patina\, Sunny\, and Lu)\, Look Both Ways\, Ain’t Burned All the Bright\, and Long Way Down\, which received a Newbery Honor\, a Printz Honor\, and a Coretta Scott King Honor. \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.

Yet many Americans long for a more positive\, unified future\, and are willing to do the work necessary to make it a reality. Leaders in schools\, organizations\, and corporations are uniquely positioned to inspire hope\, encourage action\, and actively shape the civic landscape we want for ourselves\, our children\, and future generations. \nJoin a FAN special session on harnessing the power of “futures thinking” and civic imagination with Lisa Kay Solomon\, Futurist in Residence at Stanford University’s d.school.

She will also share her new Futures Happening playbook designed to help school and community leaders transform current challenges into flexible opportunities for civic innovation and community building. \nSolomon will be in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. (FAN ’13\, ’16)\, a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern University\, co-director of Northwestern’s Center for Human Computer Interaction + Design\, and faculty founder of Design for America. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 9\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future\, a FAN webinar featuring Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CCSDFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Assembling Tomorrow from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Carter\, Doorley\, and Gerber that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe live in an era of runaway design where the possibilities of new technologies—like generative AI and synthetic biology—are near limitless\, but so are the perils. Even the most well-intentioned and transformative innovations can go haywire\, jeopardizing our work and our world. In Assembling Tomorrow: A Guide to Designing a Thriving Future\, a provocative and deeply hopeful new manifesto\, Carissa Carter and Scott Doorley\, the Academic and Creative Directors at the Stanford d.school\, pair speculative fiction with practical guidance to show how to build a world worth living in rather than one that tears us apart. \nAssembling Tomorrow grapples with the future of technology\, ecology\, biology\, work\, politics\, food\, parenting\, interpersonal relationships\, and more. From the effects of social media to the uncertainty of AI and the consequences of climate change\, the outcomes of our creations ripple across our lives\, and we are now at a critical moment where we must consider: What does a thriving future look like? How could we design it thoughtfully and creatively if we were tasked with doing so? The book is poised to redefine the discourse on design and innovation\, offering a roadmap for creating a future that we can all proudly inhabit. \nAssembling Tomorrow is the highly anticipated capstone for a 12-book series on design from Stanford’s d.school. Over the past few years\, FAN has hosted events in support of d.school books Creative Acts for Curious People\, You Need a Manifesto and Design for Belonging. \nTo be read either as a four-week “retreat of the mind” or devoured in one or two sittings\, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration\, and an aid to a saner\, freer\, and more enchantment-filled life. In anxiety-inducing times\, it is rich in truths we have never needed more. \nCo-authors Carter\, a designer\, geoscientist\, and the academic director at the d.school\, and Doorley\, a writer\, designer\, and the creative director at the d.school\, will be in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. (FAN ’13\, ’16)\, a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern University\, co-director of Northwestern’s Center for Human Computer Interaction + Design\, and faculty founder of Design for America. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts Oliver Burkeman
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 7\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts\, a FAN webinar featuring Oliver Burkeman in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ’22). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/BurkemanFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away hundreds of copies of Meditations for Mortals to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“I follow Oliver Burkeman’s personal\, literary\, and journalistic adventures into wisdom with admiration and exhilaration. Now he brings us a ‘retreat of the mind’ in a very special book. We should all read this\, preferably in the company of others―for the sake of our aching world as well as the state of our souls.” — Krista Tippett (FAN ’16) \nAddressing the fundamental questions about how to live\, Meditations for Mortals: Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make Time for What Counts offers a powerful new way to act on what counts: a guiding philosophy of life Oliver Burkeman calls “imperfectionism.” It helps us tackle challenges as they crop up in our daily lives: our finite time\, the lure of distraction\, the impossibility of doing anything perfectly. \nHow can we embrace our nonnegotiable limitations? Or make good decisions when there’s always too much to do? How do we shed the illusion that life will really begin as soon as we can “get on top of everything”? Reflecting on quotations drawn from philosophy\, religion\, literature\, psychology\, and self-help\, Burkeman\, the New York Times bestselling author of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals\, explores a combination of practical tools and daily shifts in perspective. The result is a life-enhancing and surprising challenge to much familiar advice―and a profound yet entertaining crash course in living more fully. \nTo be read either as a four-week “retreat of the mind” or devoured in one or two sittings\, Meditations for Mortals will be a source of solace and inspiration\, and an aid to a saner\, freer\, and more enchantment-filled life. In anxiety-inducing times\, it is rich in truths we have never needed more. \nBurkeman will be in conversation with Daniel Pink (FAN ’18\, ’22)\, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several provocative\, bestselling books about business\, work\, creativity\, and behavior\, including The Power of Regret; When; To Sell Is Human; Drive; and A Whole New Mind. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Holding It Together: How Women Became America's Safety Net Jessica Calarco\, Ph.D
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 30\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Holding It Together: How Women Became America’s Safety Net\, a FAN webinar featuring Jessica Calarco\, Ph.D. in conversation with Heidi Stevens. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CalarcoFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Holding It Together from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Calarco and Stevens that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“Holding It Together is both an authoritative indictment of current and past US social policy and an empathetic\, unsettling portrait of American motherhood.” – Jennifer Breheny Wallace\, FAN ‘23 \nAmerica runs on women—women who are tasked with holding society together at the seams and fixing it when things fall apart. In this tour de force\, acclaimed sociologist Jessica Calarco\, Ph.D. lays bare the devastating consequences of our status quo. \nHolding it Together: How Women Became America’s Social Safety Net draws on five years of research in which Calarco\, a sociologist and associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, surveyed over 4\,000 parents and conducted more than 400 hours of interviews with women who bear the brunt of our broken system. Tracing present-day policies back to their roots\, Calarco reveals a systematic agreement to dismantle our country’s social safety net and persuade citizens to accept precarity while women bear the brunt. She leads us to see women’s labor as the reason we’ve gone so long without the support systems that our peer nations take for granted\, and how women’s work maintains the illusion that we don’t need a net. \nCalarco’s research focuses on education\, families\, and health decision-making. She is interested in the structures of power and privilege that maintain socioeconomic\, racial\, and gender inequalities in these settings\, as well as the role that qualitative methods can play in uncovering these mechanisms. \nCalarco will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health\, and creative director for Parent Nation\, an initiative of the TMW Center. Prior to joining TMW\, Stevens worked at the Chicago Tribune for 23 years\, where she wrote a daily column called “Balancing Act.” She maintains a weekly nationally syndicated column. Stevens also serves as a FAN board member. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness Jamil Zaki\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 26\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness\, a FAN webinar featuring Jamil Zaki\, Ph.D. (FAN ’19) in conversation with Robert Sapolsky\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ZakiFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Hope for Cynics to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“With rigorous scientific research and fascinating narratives\, Zaki challenges the belief that humanity is inherent selfish\, and advocates\, instead\, for a ‘hopeful skepticism’ that creates a better world.” – Charles Duhigg (FAN ’24) \nIn 1972\, half of Americans agreed that most people can be trusted; by 2018\, only a third did. Different generations\, genders\, religions\, and political parties all think human virtue is evaporating. Cynicism is an understandable response to a world full of injustice and inequality. But in many cases\, it is misplaced. Dozens of studies find that people fail to realize how kind\, generous\, and open-minded others really are. Cynical thinking deepens social problems: when we expect the worst in people\, we often bring it out of them. \nWe don’t have to remain stuck in this cynicism trap. Through science and storytelling\, Jamil Zaki\, Ph.D. (FAN ’19)\, director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Laboratory and author of the new book Hope for Cynics: The Surprising Science of Human Goodness\, imparts the secret for beating back cynicism: hopeful skepticism—thinking critically about people and our problems\, while honoring and encouraging our strengths. Far from being naïve\, hopeful skepticism is a precise way of understanding others that can rebalance our view of human nature and help us build the world we truly want. \nZaki will be in conversation with Robert Sapolsky\, Ph.D.\, the John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Professor of Biology\, Neurology\, and Neurosurgery at Stanford University\, as well as a research associate at the Institute of Primate Research\, National Museums of Kenya. His books for non-scientists include Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers: The Acclaimed Guide to Stress\, Stress-Related Diseases\, and Coping; Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst; and most recently\, Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price Anthony Abraham Jack\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 25\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price\, a FAN webinar featuring Anthiny Abraham Jack\, Ph.D. in conversation with Jeff Selingo. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/JackFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Class Dismissed from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Jack and Selingo that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“Jack powerfully illuminates the aspects of the student experience that exist beyond the gloss of the university brochure\, showing how inequality reverberates both on and off campus and providing readers with specific frameworks for what equitable university policies could look like.” – Clint Smith\, Ph.D. (FAN ’23) \nElite colleges are boasting unprecedented numbers with respect to diversity\, with some schools admitting their first majority-minority classes. But when the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and racial unrest gripped the world\, schools scrambled to figure out what to do with the diversity they so fervently recruited. And disadvantaged students suffered. In his new book\, Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality and Students Pay the Price\, Anthony Abraham Jack\, Ph.D. exposes how woefully unprepared colleges were to support these students and shares their stories of how they were left to weather the storm alone and unprotected. \nDrawing on the firsthand experiences of students from all walks of life at elite colleges\, Jack reveals the hidden and unequal worlds students navigated before and during the pandemic closures and upon their return to campus. He shows how COVID-19 exacerbated the very inequalities that universities ignored or failed to address long before campus closures. Jack examines how students dealt with the disruptions caused by the pandemic\, how they navigated social unrest\, and how they grappled with problems of race both on campus and off. \nJack will be in conversation with Jeff Selingo (FAN ’20\, ’21\, ’22)\, New York Times bestselling author of three books on education and the job market. For more than twenty-five years\, Selingo’s in-depth reporting and storytelling have provided practical insight about the future of higher education and the workforce to university leaders\, corporate executives\, as well as students and parents. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

His engaging\, data-driven book is filled with practical insights to turn you into a better motivator.” – Adam Grant\, Ph.D. (FAN ’14\, ’16) \n“10 to 25 offers actionable advice and real-life storytelling that’s beautifully written\, comprehensive\, and filled with warmth.” – Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ’16) \nNeuroscientists have discovered that around age ten\, puberty spurs the brain to crave socially rewarding experiences\, such as pride\, admiration\, and respect\, and to become highly averse to social pain\, such as humiliation or shame. As a result\, young people are subtly reading between the lines of everything we say\, trying to interpret the hidden implications of our words to find out if we are disrespecting or honoring them. Surprisingly\, this sensitivity to status and respect continues into the mid-twenties. In his first book\, 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People\, acclaimed developmental psychologist David Yeager\, Ph.D. (FAN ’16) helps adults develop an ear for the difference between the right and wrong way to respect young people and avoid frustrating patterns of miscommunication and conflict. \nFor this event\, Yeager will first offer brief remarks and will then be in conversation with Matthew Montgomery\, Ph.D.\, superintendent of Lake Forest School Districts 67 and 115 in Illinois. A proponent of lifelong learning\, Dr. Montgomery is also the Lead Superintendent for Cohort and Partner Connections with the School Superintendents Association (AASA)\, and co-chairs the AASA STEM Leadership Consortium. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+.

Anyone can adopt the mentor mindset by following a few highly effective and easy-to-learn practices such as validating young people’s perspectives (rather than dismissing them)\, asking them questions (rather than telling them what to do)\, being transparent about your beliefs and goals (rather than assuming that they will accurately guess your thoughts)\, and holding them to high standards (rather than coddling them). Yeager’s pioneering research and interventions have shown these practices reduce a wide variety of behavior problems\, including school dropout\, unhealthy eating\, stress\, purposelessness\, mental health problems\, and more. \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.

Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn A Fatal Inheritance: How a Family Misfortune Revealed a Deadly Medical Mystery\, Lawrence Ingrassia weaves his moving family story with a sweeping history of cancer research\, delivering an intimate\, gripping tale that sits at the intersection of memoir and medical thriller. Ingrassia lost his mother\, two sisters\, brother\, and nephew to cancer—different cancers developing at different points throughout their lives. And while highly unusual\, his family is not the only one to wonder whether their heartbreak is the result of unbelievable bad luck\, or if there might be another explanation. \nThrough meticulous research and riveting storytelling\, Ingrassia takes us from the 1960s—when Frederick Pei Li\, MD and Joseph Fraumeni Jr.\, MD first met\, not yet knowing that they would help make a groundbreaking discovery that would affect cancer patients for decades to come—to present day\, as Ingrassia and countless others continue to unpack and build upon Li and Fraumeni’s initial discoveries\, and to understand what this means for their families. \nIngrassia is an author and award-winning journalist\, having worked as a senior editor at the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, and Los Angeles Times before retiring from newspapers in 2017. In his decades-long newspaper career\, journalists directed by him won five Pulitzer Prizes – for national reporting\, explanatory reporting\, international reporting\, and commentary – as well as Polk\, Loeb and other awards. \nIngrassia will be in conversation with Joanne Lipman\, a pioneering journalist and the bestselling author of Next! The Power of Reinvention in Life and Work and the No. 1 bestseller That’s What She Said: What Men and Women Need to Know About Working Together. She has served as Editor-in-Chief of USA Today\, USA Today Network\, Conde Nast Portfolio\, and The Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Journal\, leading those organizations to six Pulitzer Prizes. She is also an on-air CNBC contributor and Yale University journalism lecturer. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

Our gestures can reveal and contradict us and express thoughts we may not even know we’re thinking. \nIn Thinking with Your Hands: How Gestures Shape Our Thoughts\, esteemed cognitive psychologist Susan Goldin-Meadow\, Ph.D.\, the Beardsley Ruml Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of Psychology and Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago\, argues that gesture is vital to how we think\, learn\, and communicate. She shows us\, for instance\, how the height of our gestures can reveal unconscious bias\, or how the shape of a student’s gestures can track their mastery of a new concept—even when they’re still giving wrong answers. She compels us to rethink everything from how we set child development milestones\, to what’s admissible in a court of law\, to whether Zoom is an adequate substitute for in-person conversation. \nProf. Goldin-Meadow is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, received the William James award for lifetime achievement in basic research from the Association for Psychological Society\, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2005\, and the National Academy of Sciences in 2020. \nGoldin-Meadow will be in conversation with Carol Dweck\, Ph.D. (FAN ’11\, ’14)\, the Lewis and Virginia Eaton Professor of Psychology at Stanford University and one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of psychology. Prof. Dweck is the author of the widely-acclaimed bestseller Mindset: The New Psychology of Success\, which has been translated into over 40 languages. Her pioneering research on mindsets has led to important innovations in schools and businesses worldwide\, innovations that have increased creativity\, productivity\, inclusion\, and equity. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory's Power to Hold on to What Matters Charan Ranganath\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 21\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters\, a FAN webinar featuring Charan Ranganath\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Gloria Mark\, Ph.D. (FAN ’24) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/RanganathFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Why We Remember from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Ranganath and Prof. Mark that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nA new understanding of memory is emerging from the latest scientific research. In Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters\, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath\, Ph.D. radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering. Combining accessible language with cutting-edge research\, he reveals the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present\, and to imagine and plan for the future. \nAs Prof. Ranganath shows\, memory is a highly transformative force that shapes how we experience the world in often invisible and sometimes destructive ways. Knowing this can help us with daily remembering tasks\, like finding our keys\, and with the challenge of memory loss as we age. What’s more\, when we work with the brain’s ability to learn and reinterpret past events\, we can heal trauma\, shed our biases\, learn faster\, and grow in self-awareness. \nRanganath is a Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and director of the Dynamic Memory Lab at the University of California at Davis. For over 25 years\, he has studied the mechanisms in the brain that allow us to remember past events\, using brain imaging techniques\, computational modeling\, and studies of patients with memory disorders. \nProf. Ranganath will be in conversation with Gloria Mark\, Ph.D. (FAN ’24)\, Chancellor’s Professor Emerita at the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California\, Irvine. Prof. Mark has been a visiting senior researcher at Microsoft Research since 2012. Her recent book is Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance\, Happiness and Productivity\, named by The Globe and Mail as the #1 Best Business and Management book of 2023\, and chosen as the Season 20 selection of the Next Big Idea Book Club. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 15\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder\, a FAN webinar featuring Robert I. Sutton\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/SuttonFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Friction Project from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Sutton and Prof. Gerber that will start immediately after the webinar. AND: FAN will gift a second copy of the book to After-Hours guests! Details on the webinar registration page. \nEvery organization is plagued by destructive friction. Yet some forms of friction are incredibly useful\, and leaders who attempt to improve workplace efficiency often make things even worse. In The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder\, co-authors Robert I. Sutton\, Ph.D. and Huggy Rao\, Ph.D. draw from seven years of hands-on research to teach us how to become “friction fixers.” \nThe Friction Project unpacks how skilled friction fixers think and act like trustees of others’ time. The authors provide friction forensics to help readers identify where to avert and repair bad organizational friction and where to maintain and inject good friction. Then their “help pyramid” shows how friction fixers do their work\, from reframing friction troubles they can’t fix right now\, so they feel less threatening\, to designing and repairing organizations. The heart of the book digs into the causes and solutions for five of the most common and damaging friction troubles: oblivious leaders\, addition sickness\, broken connections\, jargon monoxide\, and fast and frenzied people and teams. \nProf. Sutton is an organizational psychologist and Stanford professor (emeritus) who studies\, writes\, teaches\, and speaks about the interplay between people and organizations. He has written more than 200 academic and practical articles and is a New York Times bestselling author of eight books. He is a co-founder of the Stanford d. School\, Stanford Technology Ventures Program\, and Center for Work\, Technology and Organization. \nProf. Sutton will be in conversation with Liz Gerber\, Ph.D. (FAN ’13\, ’16)\, a professor of mechanical engineering at Northwestern University\, co-director of Northwestern’s Center for Human Computer Interaction + Design\, and faculty founder of Design for America. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World R. Jisung Park\, PH.D.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 8\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World\, a FAN webinar featuring R. Jisung Park\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Robert Frank\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ParkFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Slow Burn from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Park that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIt’s hard not to feel anxious about the problem of climate change\, especially if we think of it as an impending planetary catastrophe. In Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World\, R. Jisung Park\, Ph.D.\, an environmental and labor economist at the University of Pennsylvania\, encourages us to view climate change through a different lens: one that focuses less on the possibility of mass climate extinction in a theoretical future\, and more on the everyday implications of climate change here and now. \nDrawing on a wealth of new data and cutting-edge economics\, Prof. Park shows how climate change headlines often miss some of the most important costs. When wildfires blaze\, what happens to people downwind of the smoke? When natural disasters destroy buildings and bridges\, what happens to educational outcomes? Park explains how climate change operates as the silent accumulation of a thousand tiny conflagrations: imperceptibly elevated health risks spread across billions of people; pennies off the dollar of productivity; fewer opportunities for upward mobility. \nBy investigating how the physical phenomenon of climate change interacts with social and economic institutions\, Park illustrates how climate change already affects everyone\, and may act as an amplifier of inequality. Wealthier households and corporations may adapt quickly\, but\, without targeted interventions\, less advantaged communities may not. Viewing climate change as a slow and unequal burn comes with an important silver lining. It puts dollars and cents behind the case for aggressive emissions cuts and helps identify concrete steps that can be taken to better manage its adverse effects. \nProf. Park received a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University\, where he was an NSF Fellow\, and master’s degrees in Environmental Change and Management (MSc) and Development Economics (MSc) from the University of Oxford\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He will be in conversation with Robert Frank\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22)\, the H. J. Louis Professor Emeritus of Management and Professor Emeritus of Economics at Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations David Montero
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 6\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations\, a FAN webinar featuring David Montero\, in conversation with Michael Eric Dyson\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/MonteroFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Stolen Wealth of Slavery from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Mr. Montero and Prof. Dyson that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn this timely\, powerful\, investigative history\, The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations\, Emmy Award-nominated journalist David Montero follows the trail of the massive wealth amassed by Northern corporations throughout America’s history of enslavement. It has long been maintained by many that the North wasn’t complicit in the horrors of slavery. The truth\, however\, is that large Northern banks—including well-known institutions like Citibank\, Bank of New York\, and Bank of America—were critical to the financing of slavery; that they saw their fortunes rise dramatically from their involvement in the business of enslavement; and that white business leaders and their surrounding communities created enormous wealth from the enslavement and abuse of Black bodies. \nMost white Southern enslavers were not rich—many were barely making ends meet—with Northern businesses benefitting the most from bondage-based profits. And some of the very Northerners who would be considered pro-Union during the Civil War were in fact anti-abolition\, seeing the institution of slavery as being in their best financial interests\, and only supporting the Union once they realized doing so would be good for business. It is a myth that the wealth generated from slavery vanished after the war. Rather\, it helped finance the industrialization of the country\, and became part of the bedrock of the growth of modern corporations\, helping to transform America into a global economic behemoth. \nIn this remarkable book\, Montero elegantly and meticulously details rampant Northern investment in slavery. He showcases exactly what was stolen\, who stole it\, and to whom it is owed\, calling for corporate reparations as he details contemporary movements to hold companies accountable for past atrocities. \nMontero will be in conversation with Michael Eric Dyson\, Ph.D.\, Distinguished University Professor of African American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University and author of 25 books\, including 7 New York Times bestsellers\, among them Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
