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.

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 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] Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That's a Good Thing) Sal Khan
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 20\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing)\, a FAN webinar featuring Sal Khan\, in conversation with Angela Duckworth\, Ph.D. (FAN ’12\, ‘16). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/KhanFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Brave New Words to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWhether we like it or not\, the AI revolution is coming to education. In Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing)\, Salman Khan\, the visionary behind Khan Academy\, explores how artificial intelligence and GPT technology will transform learning\, and offers a road map for teachers\, parents\, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world. \nA pioneer in the field of education technology\, Khan examines the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will revolutionize the way we learn and teach. For parents concerned about their children’s success\, Khan illustrates how AI can personalize learning by adapting to each student’s individual pace and style\, identifying strengths and areas for improvement\, and offering tailored support and feedback to complement traditional classroom instruction. Khan emphasizes that embracing AI in education is not about replacing human interaction but enhancing it with customized and accessible learning tools that encourage creative problem-solving skills and prepare students for an increasingly digital world. \nBut Brave New Words is not just about technology—it’s about what this technology means for our society\, and the practical implications for administrators\, guidance counselors\, and hiring managers who can harness the power of AI in education and the workplace. Khan also delves into the ethical and social implications of AI and large language models\, offering thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world. \nKhan 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+.

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] Thinking with Your Hands: How Gestures Shape Our Thoughts Susan Goldin-Meadow\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 23\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, Thinking with Your Hands: How Gestures Shape Our Thoughts\, a FAN webinar featuring Susan Goldin-Meadow\, Ph.D.\, in conversation with Carol Dweck\, Ph.D. (FAN ’11\, ‘14). \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/SGMFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Thinking with Your Hands to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nWe all know people who talk with their hands—but do they know what they’re saying with them? 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+.

SUMMARY:[FAN] A Fatal Inheritance: How a Family Misfortune Revealed a Deadly Medical Mystery Lawrence Ingrassia
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 28\, 2024\, 7:00 PM\, A Fatal Inheritance: How a Family Misfortune Revealed a Deadly Medical Mystery\, a FAN webinar featuring Lawrence Ingrassia\, in conversation with Joanne Lipman. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/IngrassiaFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of A Fatal Inheritance from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Mr. Ingrassia that will start immediately after the webinar. 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.
