SUMMARY:[FAN] Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection Charles Duhigg
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 2\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection\, New Trier High School\, Northfield Campus\, Cornog Auditorium\, 7 Happ Rd.\, Northfield\, IL 60093. Interviewer: Nicholas Epley\, Ph.D. BONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Supercommunicators at the event\, while supplies last. No registration required. \nCharles Duhigg\, the author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better\, launches yet another New York Times bestseller: Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection\, a fascinating exploration of what makes conversations work—and how we can all learn to be supercommunicators at work and in life. \nCommunication is a superpower and the best communicators understand that whenever we speak\, we’re actually participating in one of three conversations: practical (What’s this really about?)\, emotional (How do we feel?)\, and social (Who are we?). If you don’t know what kind of conversation you’re having\, you’re unlikely to connect. \nSupercommunicators know the importance of recognizing—and then matching—each kind of conversation\, and how to hear the complex emotions\, subtle negotiations\, and deeply held beliefs that color so much of what we say and how we listen. Our experiences\, our values\, our emotional lives—and how we see ourselves\, and others—shape every discussion\, from who will pick up the kids to how we want to be treated at work. \nDuhigg is a staff writer at The New Yorker and was previously a reporter at the New York Times where he won a Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting in 2013. He will be in conversation with Nicholas Epley\, Ph.D\, the John Templeton Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Behavior Science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. He studies social cognition—how thinking people think about other thinking people—to understand why smart people so routinely misunderstand each other. He is the author of Mindwise: Why We Misunderstand What Others Think\, Believe\, Feel\, and Want. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] To Tell the Truth: Race\, Identity\, and Healing Rachel Jamison Webster
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 4\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, To Tell the Truth: Race\, Identity\, and Healing\, a FAN webinar featuring Rachel Jamison Webster\, in conversation with Melissa Blount\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/WebsterFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Benjamin Banneker and Us from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Webster and Blount that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nSince the sequencing of the genome in 2003\, we have known that humans share 99.9 percent of our DNA with all other humans\, regardless of skin tone or nationality\, indicating that race is not a biological reality as much as a legal and cultural construction. Today\, thanks to sites like Ancestry.com and 23 and Me\, these facts are getting personal\, as Americans discover ancestries that complicate long-held family identities. What should we do when we discover a family secret? And how can our ancestral stories help to illuminate our present moment? \nThis conversation begins with the premise that telling the truth is essential for healing. Join Rachel Jamison Webster\, Professor of Creative Writing at Northwestern University\, as she shares the story of her book\, Benjamin Banneker and Us: Eleven Generations of an American Family. In 2016\, Webster learned about several generations of African American ancestry that had been hidden in her family. This line traced back to the sister of Benjamin Banneker—the first Black man of science. Banneker was a free man living in the Revolutionary era. He helped survey Washington D.C.\, he compiled and published bestselling almanacs\, and he corresponded with Jefferson about the heinous injustice of slavery. \nWebster’s journey led her to celebrate Banneker’s brilliance\, as well as that of his parents\, grandparents\, and sisters\, and to grapple with the ways that racism had clouded the story of her family and country. She found herself in deep relationship and collaboration with her African American cousins—fellow Banneker descendants who came together to collaborate on the book. Together they celebrated their shared ancestors\, and discussed race\, history\, and identity with unflinching honesty. \nWebster will be in conversation with Melissa Blount\, Ph.D.\, an artist\, writer\, and licensed clinical psychologist practicing her craft in Evanston\, IL. Her textile pieces explore notions of Black womanhood\, trauma\, and white supremacy in America. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Menopause Brain Lisa Mosconi\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 8\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Menopause Brain\, a FAN webinar featuring Lisa Mosconi\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Lisa Genova\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/MosconiFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Menopause Brain from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Dr. Mosconi that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nMenopause and perimenopause are still a black box to most doctors\, leaving patients exasperated as they grapple with symptoms ranging from hot flashes to insomnia to brain fog. In her new book\, The Menopause Brain\, leading neuroscientist and women’s brain health specialist Lisa Mosconi\, Ph.D. unravels these mysteries by revealing how menopause doesn’t just impact the ovaries—it’s a hormonal show in which the brain takes center stage. \nThe decline of the hormone estrogen during menopause influences everything from body temperature to mood to memory\, potentially paving the way for cognitive decline later in life. To conquer these challenges successfully\, Dr. Mosconi brings us the latest approaches—explaining the role of cutting-edge hormone replacement therapies like “designer estrogens\,” hormonal contraception\, and key lifestyle changes encompassing diet\, exercise\, self-care\, and self-talk. Best of all\, Dr. Mosconi dispels the myth that menopause signifies an end\, demonstrating that it is a transition. Contrary to popular belief\, if we know how to take care of ourselves during menopause\, we can emerge with a renewed\, enhanced brain—ushering in a meaningful and vibrant new chapter of life. \nDr. Mosconi is an associate professor of neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM)\, and the director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at WCM/New York-Presbyterian Hospital. The program includes the Women’s Brain Initiative\, the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic\, and the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinical Trials Unit. She will be in conversation with Lisa Genova\, Ph.D. Genova graduated valedictorian from Bates College with a degree in biopsychology and has a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Harvard University. She is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels\, including Still Alice and Every Note Played. Genova’s first work of nonfiction\, Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting\, was an instant New York Times bestseller\, and her TED talks on Alzheimer’s and memory have over 11 million views. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension Hanif Abdurraqib
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 11\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, There’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension\, a FAN webinar featuring Hanif Abdurraqib\, in conversation with Ross Gay\, Ph.D. (FAN ’23). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/HAFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of There’s Always This Year to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nThere’s Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension is award-winning poet\, essayist\, and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib’s poignant\, personal reflection on basketball\, talent\, and allegiance\, and of course\, LeBron James. Growing up in Columbus\, Ohio in the 1990s\, Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball\, one in which legends like LeBron were forged\, and countless others weren’t. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical\, historical\, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it\, who we think deserves success\, the tensions between excellence and expectation\, and the very notion of role models\, all of which he expertly weaves together with intimate\, personal storytelling. “Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father’s jump shot\,” Abdurraqib writes. “The truth\, though\, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.” \nThere’s Always This Year is a triumph\, brimming with joy\, pain\, solidarity\, comfort\, outrage\, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focus – whether it’s basketball\, music\, or performance — Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry\, always profound\, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture\, our country\, and ourselves. \nAbdurraqib (FAN ’21) will be in conversation with Ross Gay\, Ph.D. (FAN ’23)\, the New York Times bestselling author of the essay collections The Book of (More) Delights\, The Book of Delights\, and Inciting Joy and four books of poetry. His Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award and was a finalist for the National Book Award; and Be Holding won the 2021 PEN America Jean Stein Book Award. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides Geoffrey L. Cohen\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 15\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides\, Adlai E. Stevenson High School\, Little Theater\, 1 Stevenson Dr.\, Lincolnshire\, IL 60069. Interviewer: LeViis Haney\, Ed.D. NOTE: No registration required. Access the event via the Circle Drive. \nWe live in enormously divisive times. Divisions based on class\, politics\, race\, religion\, gender\, and nationality are erupting around the globe. The consequences of not having a sense of belonging range from political strife to illness to underperformance at work and in the classroom. Americans have become disconnected from their communities\, and about one in five Americans suffers from chronic loneliness\, especially young adults. Why is our sense of belonging so undermined? What if there were a set of science-backed techniques for navigating modern social life that could help us overcome our differences\, create empathy\, and forge lasting connections across divides? \nGeoffrey L. Cohen\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22)\, Professor of Psychology and the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University\, answers these questions and more in his extraordinary 2022 book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides. As Prof. Cohen explains\, often inadvertently\, we behave in ways that threaten others’ sense of belonging. Yet small acts that establish connection\, brief activities such as reflecting on our core values\, and a wealth of practices that he refers to under the general rubric of “situation-crafting” have been shown to lessen polarization in our politics\, improve motivation and performance in school and work\, combat racism in our communities\, enhance health and well-being\, and unleash the potential in ourselves and our relationships. The book’s research is essential for managers\, educators\, parents\, administrators\, caregivers\, and everyone who wants those around them to thrive. \nProf. Cohen will be in conversation with LeViis Haney\, Ed.D.\, the Director of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion at Adlai E. Stevenson High School. Dr. Haney also teaches principal preparation courses as an adjunct professor at Northeastern Illinois University and Loyola University Chicago\, and is a facilitator for the Kaleidoscope Group\, a DEI firm based in Chicago. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Breakthrough Years: A New Scientific Framework for Raising Thriving Teens Ellen Galinsky

Details on the webinar registration page. \nMany assumptions about adolescents are just plain wrong\, argues Ellen Galinsky\, president of the Families and Work Institute and former chief science officer at the Bezos Family Foundation and one of the foremost child development experts in the world. In The Breakthrough Years: A New Scientific Framework for Raising Thriving Teens\, she challenges and debunks the many myths\, misunderstandings\, and stereotypes about adolescents while weaving research-tested ways to influence them for success during these impressionable and transformative years. \nGalinsky\, the author of the best-selling Mind in the Making\, set out to uncover the best strategies for raising thriving teens by interviewing and studying a nationally representative group of 1\,666 adolescents (ages 9 to 19) and their parents\, asking “What would you like to tell the adults of America about people your age?” Compelling\, informative\, and eye-opening\, The Breakthrough Years is the culmination of this seven-year study into the adolescent brain and behavior. \nGalinsky will 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)\, co-chairs the AASA STEM Leadership Consortium. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child Kelley Coleman
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 18\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child\, a FAN webinar featuring Kelley Coleman\, in conversation with Lindsay Crain. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/ColemanFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTERHOURS event hosted by Ms. Coleman that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, a baby is born with a birth defect every 4½ minutes. One of those children was Kelley Coleman’s son\, born with a rare (and still undiagnosed) genetic syndrome. Feeling equal parts terrified and alone\, she soon learned that no one tells parents how to do any of this. In her new book\, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential System\, Services\, and Supports\, Coleman\, a feature film development executive turned author and passionate advocate for parent caregivers and individuals with disabilities\, turns her hard-earned expertise into the much needed “You Are Here” on the map of this unexpected journey. \nPresented with empathy and humor\, the book gives parents the tools to navigate the complex medical\, educational\, and social service systems necessary for disabled children to thrive. This is “been there\, tried that” insider information about diagnosis\, working with your medical team\, insurance\, school\, financial and future planning\, disability rights\, and advocacy. \nColeman will be in conversation with Lindsay Crain\, head of Content and Community at Undivided\, an organization with a mission to support and empower parents raising children with disabilities. As the parent of a teenager with cerebral palsy\, Crain is driven to build and reinforce systems and practices that create a more inclusive culture. She is currently serving as a Community Representative on the CA State Interagency Coordinating Council on Early Intervention. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:[FAN] Somehow: Thoughts on Love Anne Lamott
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 23\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Somehow: Thoughts on Love\, Loyola Academy\, McGrath Family Performing Arts Center\, 1100 Laramie Ave.\, Wilmette\, IL 60091. Interviewer: Heidi Stevens. BONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY of Somehow: Thoughts on Love at the event\, while supplies last. No registration required. \nIn Somehow: Thoughts on Love\, beloved bestselling author Anne Lamott explores the transformative power that love has in our lives: how it surprises us\, forces us to confront uncomfortable truths\, reminds us of our humanity\, and guides us forward. “Love just won’t be pinned down\,” she says. “It is in our very atmosphere” and lies at the heart of who we are. We are\, Lamott says\, creatures of love. \nIn each chapter of Somehow\, Lamott refracts all the colors of the spectrum. She explores the unexpected love for a partner later in life. The bruised (and bruising) love for a child who disappoints\, even frightens. The sustaining love among a group of sinners\, for a community in transition\, in the wider world. The lessons she underscores are that love enlightens as it educates\, comforts as it energizes\, sustains as it surprises. \nLamott is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers\, including Dusk\, Night\, Dawn; Almost Everything; Hallelujah Anyway; Small Victories; Stitches; Help\, Thanks\, Wow; Some Assembly Required; Grace (Eventually); Plan B; and Traveling Mercies\, as well as several novels. She is a past recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and an inductee to the California Hall of Fame. \nLamott 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 suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

In We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For\, Eddie S. Glaude Jr.\, Ph.D.\, one of the nation’s preeminent scholars and a New York Times bestselling author\, makes the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. Through virtuoso interpretations of Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Malcolm X\, and Ella Baker\, Dr. Glaude shows how ordinary people have the capacity to be the heroes that our democracy so desperately requires\, rather than outsourcing their needs to leaders who purportedly represent them. \nThe book begins with Dr. Glaude’s unease with the Obama years. He felt then\, and does even more urgently now\, that the excitement around the Obama presidency had become a disciplining tool to narrow legitimate forms of Black political dissent. This narrowing continues to undermine the well-being of Black communities. In response\, Dr. Glaude guides us away from enthusiastic reliance on elected leaders and full surrender to a belief in unchanging political structures. He weaves anecdotes about his own evolving views on Black politics together with the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson\, John Dewey\, Sheldon Wolin\, Toni Morrison\, James Baldwin\, and Ralph Ellison. \nDr. Glaude (FAN ’20) is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor at Princeton University and the author of several books\, including Democracy in Black and the New York Times bestseller Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own\, winner of the Harriet Beecher Stowe Book Prize. \nDr. Glaude will be in conversation with Lisa L. Moore\, Ph.D.\, LICSW\, Senior Lecturer and Director of the Master’s Program in Social Work\, Social Policy\, and Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work\, Policy\, and Practice. She has worked in higher education for over 25 years as an administrator and faculty member. \n

SUMMARY:[FAN] The Civil Rights Act at 60: Is Martin Luther King\, Jr.'s Dream for Chicago and the Country Attainable?
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 29\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, The Civil Rights Act at 60: Is Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s Dream for Chicago and the Country Attainable?\, Evanston Township High School Auditorium\, 1600 Dodge Ave\, Evanston\, IL 60201. Interviewer: Natalie Y. Moore. NO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. \nSixty years ago\, Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. pushed for the successful passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964\, the signature legislation of the Civil Rights Movement. With that victory\, Dr. King turned his attention north\, where he helped lead the Chicago Freedom Movement\, a coalition of organizations that addressed the range of ills connected to residential segregation and economic inequality in Chicago. Though shortlived\, the Chicago Freedom Movement is credited with inspiring the 1968 Fair Housing Act. This event takes stock of Dr. King’s legacy in Chicago and the nation\, offering views on how far we’ve come\, what work remains\, and how best to carry out that work. \nFor this lively and wide-ranging discussion\, FAN is collaborating with the brand-new Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies\, led by founding co-directors Tomás R. Jiménez\, Ph.D. and Brian Lowery\, Ph.D. (FAN ’23). Together\, we are honored to welcome two acclaimed leaders as panelists: award-winning author Lerone A. Martin\, Ph.D.\, Professor in Religious Studies and African & African American Studies at Stanford University and director of Stanford’s Martin Luther King\, Jr. Research and Education Institute\, and Vaughn Bryant\, executive director of Chicago-based Metropolitan Peace Initiatives (MPI)\, an organization that provides services to heal communities at the highest risk for gun violence. MPI’s core specialties include the Metropolitan Peace Academy\, behavioral health\, workforce readiness\, legal aid\, and street outreach supervision. \nModerating the panel will be Natalie Y. Moore\, an award-winning journalist covering segregation and inequality for WBEZ\, Chicago’s NPR affiliate. Her reporting tackles race\, housing\, economic development\, food injustice\, and violence and her work has been broadcast on the BBC and Marketplace\, and on NPR’s Morning Edition\, All Things Considered\, and Weekend Edition. She is the author of The Billboard and The South Side: A Portrait of Chicago and American Segregation. \nNO REGISTRATION REQUIRED. This 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.
