SUMMARY:[FAN] Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House Jared Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 11\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House\, a FAN webinar featuring Jared Cohen\, in conversation with Elise Jordan. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/JCohenFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Life After Power from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Cohen that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nFormer presidents have an unusual place in American life. King George III believed that George Washington’s departure after two terms made him “the greatest character of the age.” But Alexander Hamilton worried former presidents might “[wander] among the people like ghosts.” They were both right. In Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House\, New York Times bestselling author Jared Cohen tells the stories of seven former presidents\, from the Founding to today. Each changed history. Each offered lessons about how to decide what to do in the next chapter of life. \nThomas Jefferson was the first former president to accomplish great things after the White House\, shaping public debates and founding the University of Virginia\, an accomplishment he included on his tombstone\, unlike his presidency. John Quincy Adams served in Congress and became a leading abolitionist\, passing the torch to Abraham Lincoln. Grover Cleveland was the only president in American history to serve a nonconsecutive term. William Howard Taft became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Herbert Hoover shaped the modern conservative movement\, led relief efforts after World War II\, reorganized the executive branch\, and reconciled John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Jimmy Carter has had the longest postpresidency in American history\, advancing humanitarian causes\, human rights\, and peace. George W. Bush made a clean break from politics\, bringing back George Washington’s precedent\, and reminding the public that the institution of the presidency is bigger than any person. \nCohen will be in conversation with Elise Jordan\, a communication strategist\, writer\, and political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. Her forthcoming history of General Dwight D. Eisenhower and the women who worked for him during World War II will be published by Knopf in 2025. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There Cass R. Sunstein
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 27\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There\, a FAN webinar featuring Cass R. Sunstein\, in conversation with Ayelet Fishbach\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/SunsteinFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Look Again from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Sunstein that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIt’s common to feel jaded and unexcited by what many consider the mundane in our day to day lives. Years into a dream job\, a happy relationship\, or a beloved apartment\, the very things that once thrilled us can take on the ho hum. We also get used to the terrible: corruption\, lies\, dirty air\, misinformation\, toxic relationships. \nBut what if we could find a way to see everything anew? What if you could regain sensitivity\, not only to the great things in your life\, but also to the terrible things you stopped noticing and so don’t try to change? In Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There professors Cass R. Sunstein and Tali Sharot\, Ph.D. share with readers a groundbreaking study of how disrupting our well-worn routines\, both good and bad\, can rejuvenate our days and reset our brains to allow us to live happier and more fulfilling lives. The key to this disruption—to seeing\, feeling\, and noticing again—is change. By temporarily changing your environment\, changing the rules\, changing the people you interact with—or even just stepping back and imagining change—you regain sensitivity\, allowing you to identify more clearly the bad and more deeply appreciate the good. \nProf. Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School and is the nation’s most-cited legal scholar. He taught at the University of Chicago Law School for 27 years\, and for the past fifteen years\, he has been at the forefront of behavioral economics. His book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health\, Wealth\, and Happiness\, coauthored with Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler\, was a national bestseller. From 2009 to 2012\, he served as the administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs; since that time\, he has served in the US government in multiple capacities. \nProf. Sunstein will be in conversation with Ayelet Fishbach\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22)\, the Jeffrey Breakenridge Keller Professor of Behavioral Science and Marketing at the University of Chicago\, Booth School of Business\, and the author of the award-winning book Get It Done: Surprising Lessons from the Science of Motivation. She is the past president of the Society for the Science of Motivation and the International Social Cognition Network. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Attention Span: Find Focus\, Fight Distraction Gloria Mark\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, February 13\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Attention Span: Find Focus\, Fight Distraction\, a FAN webinar featuring Gloria Mark\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with David Epstein (FAN “16 and ’20) \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/MarkFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Attention Span from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Mark that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe spend an average of just 47 seconds on any screen before shifting our attention. It takes 25 minutes to bring our attention back to a task after an interruption. And we interrupt ourselves more than we’re interrupted by others. In Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance\, Happiness and Productivity\, psychologist Gloria Mark\, Ph.D. reveals these and more surprising results from her decades of research into how technology affects our attention. \nBased on decades of original research in what Prof. Mark calls “living laboratories\,” where she studies technology use in people’s real-world environments\, Attention Span not only presents the science of exactly how short our attention spans have become\, how much we’re interrupted and how much stress that causes us\, but also how we can gain control of our attention and achieve wellbeing. \nProf. Mark is Chancellor’s Professor Emerita at the University of California\, Irvine\, and has been a visiting senior researcher at Microsoft Research since 2012. For over two decades she has studied the impact of digital media on people’s lives\, focusing on how using our devices affects our multitasking\, distractions\, mood\, and behavior. She has also been a Fulbright scholar and has received the prestigious NSF Career grant. \nProf. Mark will be in conversation with David Epstein (FAN ’16 and ’20)\, a science writer and author of the New York Times bestsellers Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World\, and The Sports Gene. Epstein was previously an investigative reporter at ProPublica\, and prior to that a senior writer at Sports Illustrated. His two TED Talks on human development and performance have been viewed 12 million times. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do Suneel Gupta
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, February 12\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do\, a FAN webinar featuring Suneel Gupta\, in conversation with Debbie Millman. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/GuptaFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Everyday Dharma from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Gupta and Millman that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe’ve been conditioned\, from an early age\, to believe that one day we’ll reach a moment of “arrival.” But no matter how much we achieve or acquire we still don’t feel as satisfied or as fulfilled as we thought we would be. Exhausted\, we become burned out and cynical\, questioning the purpose of it all. \nAn expert on happiness and work\, Suneel Gupta argues that for too long society has been fixated on the Future of Work and ignored the Future of Worth. We’ve compartmentalized work and well-being and ignored the fact that both are essential for sustained success. We’ve assumed that outer success leads to inner well-being–despite history showing us that this has never been the case. In his new book Everyday Dharma: 8 Essential Practices for Finding Success and Joy in Everything You Do\, Gupta helps us break this negative cycle. A captivating storyteller\, he weaves personal stories\, history\, science\, Eastern philosophy\, and Western modalities in this engaging\, enlightening\, and prescriptive book. \nAs the founding CEO of RISE and a visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School\, Gupta travels the world\, deconstructing how extraordinary performers overcome their most difficult moments. His work has been featured by outlets including Vanity Fair\, Fast Company\, and the New York Times. He will be in conversation with Debbie Millman\, host of the Webby Award-winning podcast Design Matters\, one of the first and longest running podcasts in the world; chair of the first-ever Masters in Branding Program at the School of Visual Arts in New York City; co-owner and editorial director of PrintMag.com; and the author of seven books on design and branding. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Writing for Busy Readers: Communicate More Effectively in the Real World Todd Rogers\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 30\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Writing for Busy Readers: Communicate More Effectively in the Real World\, a FAN webinar featuring Todd Rogers\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/RogersFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Writing for Busy Readers from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Rogers that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nBusy readers routinely decide how valuable a message is without actually reading it. In one recent survey\, people reported skimming nearly 40 percent of their emails and 20 percent of their texts. We may have been taught the fundamentals of writing well in school—but how do we write effectively in this current hyperinteractive environment? Writing for Busy Readers: Communicate More Effectively in the Real World by Todd Rogers\, Ph.D. and Jessica Lasky-Fink\, Ph.D. is both an essential guide of practical writing advice and a fascinating adventure through the science of why these strategies work. \nThe book begins by unpacking the science and psychology of how (busy) people read\, then details six research-backed principles for effective writing. Along the way\, the authors provide intriguing insights drawn from the leading scientific research and hundreds of their own original\, randomized experiments on the topic. The principles for effective writing are rooted in the universals of human nature: the mind’s limited attention and focus\, the rules of thumb it uses\, the behaviors of busy people\, and the ways that we give and receive information through written messages. \nRogers is a Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School of Government and a behavioral scientist specializing in the science of effective communication. He is the faculty director of the Behavioral Insights Group\, faculty chair of the executive education program Behavioral Insights and Public Policy\, senior scientist at ideas42\, and academic advisor at the Behavioral Insights Team. Rogers will be in conversation with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ’16)\, co-founder of Character Lab\, Rosa Lee and Egbert Chang Professor at the University of Pennsylvania\, faculty co-director of the Penn-Wharton Behavior Change for Good Initiative\, founding faculty co-director of Wharton People Analytics\, and author of the international bestseller Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Mirrored Door: What Blocks Women's Careers Ellen Connelly Taaffe
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 23\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Mirrored Door: What Blocks Women’s Careers\, a FAN webinar featuring Ellen Taaffe\, in conversation with Deepa Purushothaman. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/TaaffeFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Mirrored Door from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Taaffe that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nAt some point in their careers\, many women encounter the “mirrored door” ― the place where\, when presented with opportunities\, they reflect inward and hesitate\, deem they’re not ready or worthy enough to move forward\, whether that is to raise their hands or go for the next role. But there is a way to overcome the gendered expectations that girls and women internalize over our lifetimes that create a hidden barrier that keeps them from reaching their full potential. \nIn her new book The Mirrored Door: Break Through the Hidden Barrier that Locks Successful Women in Place\, Ellen Connelly Taaffe\, clinical associate professor at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management\, draws on research\, stories from her own career\, and those of her students and the mid-late career women she has coached. She explains why the five perils of success ― preparing to perfection\, being eager to please\, trying to fit the mold\, pushing too hard\, and patiently performing and expecting rewards to follow ― get women to a certain level\, and then may prevent them taking the next step in their careers as expectations rise. She offers a new\, empowering framework for navigating the challenges of the workplace with more awareness and expertise. \nTaaffe is the director of Women’s Leadership Programming at Kellogg and serves as a director on several boards. She will be in conversation with Deepa Purushothaman\, a former senior executive at Deloitte and author\, speaker\, and founder of multiple businesses. Her debut book\, The First\, The Few\, The Only\, was published to international acclaim in 2022. She recently founded the re.write\, an unconventional think tank advancing a new story of work. She is also an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships Scott Rick\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 16\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships\, a FAN webinar featuring Scott Rick\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Olga Khazan. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/RickFANWebinar\n \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Tightwads and Spendthrifts from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Rick and Khazan that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nHave you ever asked yourself “What if I’m a tightwad and my significant other is a spendthrift?” or vice versa? Scott Rick\, Ph.D.\, a behavioral scientist and associate professor of marketing at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business\, knows that many people do. He also knows that the financial aspects of an intimate relationship can become a money minefield if couples try to navigate it without first discussing all of the financial issues between them\, especially if those two people have different approaches to spending. \nTightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships is a science-based guide to understanding and transforming how we manage money\, both on our own and in relationships. Building on his original research\, and surveying a vast body of interdisciplinary work\, Tightwads and Spendthrifts will help you understand your own financial psychology and how it plays out in your relationships. Can tightwads and spendthrifts live together in harmony? Rick says “yes\,” but not without first asking hard questions about whose opinion should count most when making a financial decision. Once the issues have been aired\, he tells readers how to create a game plan for navigating financial decision making that both tightwads and spendthrifts can rely on for a happy life together. \nRick will be in conversation with Olga Khazan\, a staff writer for The Atlantic who is working on a book about personality change. Her first book\, Weird: The Power of Being an Outsider in an Insider World\, came out in 2020. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia Kate Manne\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 11\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia\, a FAN webinar featuring\nKaye Manne\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Roxane Gay\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ManneFANWebinar\n \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Unshrinking from FAN’s partner\nbookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Manne that will start\nimmediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn her latest book Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia\, Kate Manne\, Ph.D.\, an associate professor of\nphilosophy at Cornell University\, delivers a definitive takedown of fatphobia\, drawing on personal\nexperience as well as rigorous research to expose how size discrimination harms everyone\, and how to\ncombat it. \nBlending intimate stories with the trenchant analysis that has become her signature\, Manne shows why\nfatphobia has become a vital social justice issue. She examines how anti-fatness operates—how it leads us\nto make devastating assumptions about a person’s attractiveness\, fortitude\, and intellect\, and how it\nintersects with other systems of oppression. Fatphobia is responsible for wage gaps\, medical neglect\, and\npoor educational outcomes; it is a straitjacket\, restricting our freedom\, our movement\, our potential. \nIn this urgent call to action\, Manne proposes a new politics of “body reflexivity”—a radical reevaluation of\nwho our bodies exist in the world for: ourselves and no one else. When it comes to fatphobia\, the solution\nis not to love our bodies more. Instead\, we must dismantle the forces that control and constrain us and\nremake the world to accommodate people of every size. \nManne will be in conversation with Roxane Gay\, Ph.D. a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times\nand the acclaimed bestselling author of Bad Feminist\, Difficult Women\, and Hunger. Gay is also the author\nof World of Wakanda for Marvel. She has a newsletter\, The Audacity\, and once had a podcast\, The Roxane\nGay Agenda. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

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? How do we use that story to understand who we’ve become? How do we forgive the people\nwho loved and hurt us? How do we rediscover and honor our first dreams? And finally\, what do we take forward\,\nwhat do we pass on\, what do we leave behind? This is the beautifully bluesy story of a boy genius’s coming of\nage that illuminates the redemptive power of the upcycle. \nTrotter is one of the most powerful voices in hip-hop and the winner of three NAACP Image Awards and leads the\nhouse band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\, joined by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (FAN ’21)\, cofounder\nof The Roots. \nTrotter will be in conversation with artist\, archivist\, and curator Theaster Gates\, a professor at the University of\nChicago in the Department of Visual Arts and the College. Prof. Gates creates work that focuses on space theory\nand land development\, sculpture\, and performance. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

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. And all of this adds pressure on kids who are coming of age immersed in social media\nplatforms that emphasize “personal brand\,” “likes\,” and “gotcha” moments. How can they figure out who they\nreally are with zero privacy and constant judgment? \nHeitner shows us that by focusing on character\, not the threat of getting caught or exposed\, we can support our\nkids to be authentically themselves. Drawing on her extensive work with parents and schools as well as\nhundreds of interviews with kids\, parents\, educators\, clinicians\, and scholars\, Heitner offers strategies for\nparenting our kids in an always-connected world. \nHeitner will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, creative director of Parent Nation\, an initiative of the\nUniversity of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health. Prior to joining TMW\, Stevens worked at\nthe Chicago Tribune for 23 years\, where she wrote a daily column called “Balancing Act.” She maintains a\nweekly nationally syndicated column. Stevens also serves as a FAN board member. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

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