AND: FAN will gift a second copy of the book to After-Hours guests! Details on the webinar registration page. \nOur lives are filled with repetitive tasks meant to keep us on track—what we come to know as habits. Over time\, these routines (like brushing your teeth or putting on your right sock first) tend to be performed automatically. But when we’re more mindful about these actions—when we focus on the precise way they are performed—they can instead become rituals. Shifting from a “habitual” mindset to a “ritual” mindset can convert ordinary acts from black and white to Technicolor. \nThink about the way you savor a certain beverage\, the care you take with a particular outfit that gets worn only on special occasions\, the unique way that your family gathers around the table during holidays\, or the secret language you enjoy with your significant other. To some\, these behaviors may seem quirky\, but because rituals matter so deeply to us on a personal level\, they give our lives purpose and meaning. For his new book\, The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual\, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions\, Michael Norton\, Ph.D. (FAN ’16)\, the Harold M. Brierley Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School\, draws on a decade of original research to show that rituals play a role in healing communities experiencing a great loss\, marking life’s major transitions\, driving a stadium of sports fans to ecstasy\, and helping us rise to challenges and realize opportunities. \nNorton’s research focuses on behavioral economics and well-being\, with particular attention given to\nhappiness and spending\, income inequality\, and the IKEA effect. He is the co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending\, and his “How to Buy Happiness” TED Talk has been viewed over 4 million times. \nNorton will be in conversation with award-winning social psychologist Sam Sommers\, Ph.D.\, Professor and Chair in the Department of Psychology and director of the Racial Equity and Diversity Lab at Tufts University. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

Details on the webinar registration page. \nNature is capable of extraordinary phenomena. Standing in awe of those phenomena\, we experience a feeling of connection to the cosmos. For acclaimed physicist and novelist Alan Lightman\, Ph.D.\, just as remarkable is that all of what we see around us—soap bubbles\, scarlet ibises\, shooting stars—are made of the same material stuff and obey the same rules and laws. This is what Lightman calls “spiritual materialism\,” the belief that we can embrace spiritual experiences without letting go of our scientific worldview. \nPairing 36 beautiful\, full-color photos evoking some of nature’s most awe-inspiring phenomena with accessible and lyrical personal essays\, The Miraculous from the Material: Understanding the Wonders of Nature explores the fascinating science underlying the natural world. Why do rainbows make an arc? Why does a particular waterfall at Yosemite National Park sometimes glow like it’s on fire? How does a hummingbird fly? The world has so many things to marvel at—and the science is just as fascinating. \nLightman’s imagination travels from the world of atoms and molecules to the animal kingdom\, from places like Ha Long Bay\, Vietnam and the Grand Canyon out to the solar system and beyond\, illuminating the majesty of the cosmos and the remarkable science behind it. The Miraculous from the Material is a stunning\, soaring ode to the beauty and wonder around us. \nLightman will be in conversation with Dacher Keltner\, Ph.D. (FAN ’16\, ’23)\, professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley\, director of the Berkeley Social Interaction Lab\, and faculty director of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center. His research focuses the biological and evolutionary origins of compassion\, awe\, love\, and beauty\, as well as power\, social class\, and inequality. Keltner is the author of The Power Paradox: How We Gain and Lose Influence\, as well as the bestseller Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life and The Compassionate Instinct. His latest book is 2023’s Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+.

Tuesday\, November 19\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm\, a FAN webinar featuring DeMar DeRozan in conversation with Hanif Abdurraqib (FAN ’21\, ‘24). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/DeRozanFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Above the Noise to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“As men\, and especially Black men\, we don’t talk about our mental health enough. We struggle to admit when things aren’t okay\, even when it’s obvious to everybody around us. I’ve seen how toxic that can become. I’ve experienced it myself\, keeping everything under wraps until your head and heart are full of fire and rage.” – DeMar DeRozan \nDeMar DeRozan\, six-time NBA All-Star\, has been called a “basketball savant” (ESPN) and “the best closer in the NBA” (GQ)—but when he went public with his depression\, it sparked a conversation that reached far beyond the court. By breaking the stigma of speaking out\, he added a new\, seldom-heard voice to the mental health dialogue: a successful Black male athlete\, openly naming his pain and advocating for others to do the same. \nNow it’s time to tell the full story. Born and raised in Compton\, DeRozan was no stranger to hardship—living in poverty\, losing friends to gang violence. In worn-out school gyms and community centers\, fueled by hunger and a desire to prove himself\, he started to rise\, but doubts followed. In Above the Noise: My Story of Chasing Calm\, DeRozan opens up about his proudest triumphs and the times he felt so weighed down he couldn’t get out of bed. He reflects on what it took to make a name for himself in a new country after getting drafted by the Toronto Raptors\, the pressure of playing with veteran athletes as a twenty-year-old rookie\, and the pain of losing role models. \nFrom a scared\, angry kid to a confident father of five\, DeRozan traces his journey to basketball stardom and the forces that honed him into the player—and the slowly healing person—he is today. It will encourage anyone who has ever felt alone in their struggles and inspire people to rise above the noise and speak their truth. \nDeRozan will be in conversation with Hanif Abdurraqib (FAN ’21\, ’24)\, New York Times bestselling poet\, essayist\, cultural critic\, and 2021 MacArthur Fellow. FAN hosted Abdurraqib in 2021 in support of his award-winning book A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance\, and also for his most recent book\, 2024’s There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+.

Details on the webinar registration page. \nBrimming with lively and nostalgic details\, award-winning journalist and author Tom McGrath’s new book Triumph of the Yuppies: America\, the Eighties\, and the Creation of an Unequal Nation charts Boomers’ transformation from hippy idealists in the late 1960s to careerists in the early 1980s\, and details how marketers\, the media\, and politicians pivoted to appeal to this influential new group. Yuppie values had an undeniable impact on the worlds of fashion\, food\, and fitness\, as well as affecting the broader culture— from gentrification and an obsession with career success to an indulgent materialism. Most significantly\, the me-first mindset typical of Yuppieness helped create the largest income inequality in a century. \nBy the time their obituary was being written in the late 1980s\, Yuppies—the elite\, uber-educated faction of the Baby Boom generation—had become a cultural punchline\, but amidst their preoccupation with money\, work\, and the latest status symbols\, came a serious redefinition of American culture that continues to have profound ramifications decades later. \nMcGrath was the editor-in-chief of Philadelphia magazine\, as well as chief content officer of Metro Corp.\, the parent company of Philadelphia and Boston between 2010 and 2020. Under his leadership\, the magazines won more than fifty awards for editorial excellence. He is also the author of the newsletter Common Ground\, which explores issues related to politics\, culture\, and the economy. \nMcGrath will be in conversation with Rachel Slade\, the former executive editor of Boston magazine. She is the author of two books: the award-winning Into the Raging Sea\, about the sinking of the container ship El Faro; and 2024’s Making It in America: The Almost Impossible Quest to Manufacture in the USA (and How It Got That Way). Slade’s editing and writing have won national awards in civic journalism\, reporting\, reader service\, and criticism. She was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship for the fall of 2024. \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. \nIn July 2020\, nearly 200 years after the lands of Eastern Oklahoma were promised to Native Americans\, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma reaffirmed the reservation of the Muscogee Nation\, resulting in the largest restoration of tribal land in our nation’s history. This history-changing case started in a surprising place: a small-town murder and the decades-long death penalty appeal of the convicted man. In By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land\, Rebecca Nagle\, an award-winning reporter and citizen of Cherokee Nation\, uses the case as a springboard for the larger story of the long fight for tribal sovereignty in Eastern Oklahoma. Her in-depth reportage becomes personal as Nagle uncovers the complicated role her own forebears played in the removal of her tribe from their ancestral lands. She delves into the whitewashed story of “The Trail of Tears” that forcibly removed 80\,000 Indigenous peoples living east of the Mississippi and sent them into exile. It is a story of greed\, corruption\, and lawlessness\, as well as historic acts of Indigenous resistance. \nNagle’s original podcast about the case\, This Land\, topped the podcast charts\, reaching number two on iTunes with millions of downloads\, and won a Webby Award for best Documentary Series. Nagle was awarded the American Mosaic Journalism Prize and nominated for a Peabody for her reporting and writing. Her work has been featured in The Atlantic\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, USA Today\, Teen Vogue\, and the Huffington Post. \nNagle will be in conversation with Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy\, Ph.D. (Lumbee)\, dean of Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy and the Carlos Montezuma Professor of Education and Social Policy. A member of the National Academy of Education and a fellow of the American Educational Research Association\, Brayboy’s research focuses on intersecting knowledge systems that illuminate the ways that institutional structures simultaneously hinder and enable the success of underserved students\, staff\, and faculty. His research also explores the ways that culture and cultural practices mediate and support Indigenous student learning\, community self-determination\, and tribal nation building. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

Moore. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/EdimFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Gather Me to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \n“She is a friend of my mind. She gather me\, man. The pieces I am\, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.”—Toni Morrison\, Beloved \nFor Glory Edim\, that “friend of my mind” is books. Edim\, who grew up in Virginia to Nigerian immigrant parents\, started the popular Well-Read Black Girl book club at age thirty\, eventually reaching a community of half a million readers. But her own love of books stretches far back. \nEdim’s father moved back to Nigeria while she was still a child\, marking the beginning of a series of traumatic changes and losses for her family. What became an escape\, a safe space\, and a second home for her and her brother was their local library. Books were where Edim found community\, and as she grew older\, she discovered authors and ideas that she wasn’t being taught about in class. Reading wherever and whenever she could\, be it in her dorm room or when traveling by subway or plane\, Edim found the Black writers whose words would forever change her life: Nikki Giovanni\, through children’s poetry cassettes; Maya Angelou\, through a critical high school English teacher; Toni Morrison\, while attending Morrison’s alma mater\, Howard University; Audre Lorde\, on a flight to Nigeria. In prose full of both joy and heartbreak\, Edim recounts how these writers and so many others taught her how to value herself by helping her to find her own voice when her mother lost hers\, to trust her feelings when her father remarried\, and to create bonds with other Black women and uplift their stories. \nEdim’s new book\, Gather Me: A Memoir in Praise of the Books That Saved Me\, is a glowing testament to how the power of representation in literature can gather the disparate parts that make us who we are and assemble them into a portrait of discovery. \nEdim will be in conversation with Natalie Y. Moore\, an award-winning journalist and author and senior lecturer and director of audio programming at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

American civic knowledge is alarmingly low\, and many people dread talking about politics—often choosing to avoid the subject altogether. Studies continue to reveal how little Americans know about their government. Young voters are the least likely to be registered to vote\, and the least likely to turn out. Civics instruction receives the lowest number of K-12 classroom hours out of any subject\, and it shows – AP US Government & Politics has one of the lowest average scores each year out of all AP classes offered in high schools. But Lindsey Cormack\, Ph.D.\, associate professor of political science and director of the Diplomacy Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology\, argues that all is not lost for the next generation of Americans. \nIn her new book\, How to Raise a Citizen (And Why It’s Up to You to Do It)\, Cormack shows how engaging with children about our political system at a young age can help to better prepare them to engage with and understand politics and be catalysts for change. She argues that we all bear a little responsibility for our children’s lack of understanding about these subjects; our political system is a complicated one to understand\, our society has an aversion to talking about politics\, and our schools are stretched. \nCormack will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of\nChicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health\, and creative director for Parent Nation\, an\ninitiative of the TMW Center. Prior to joining TMW\, Stevens worked at the Chicago Tribune for 23 years\,\nwhere she wrote a daily column called “Balancing Act.” She maintains a weekly nationally syndicated\ncolumn. 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.

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+.

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+.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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+.

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+.
