SUMMARY:Microaggressions in Medicine Lauren Freeman\, Ph.D. and Heather Stewart\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, January 14\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, Microaggressions in Medicine\, a FAN webinar featuring Lauren Freeman\, Ph.D. and Heather Stewart\, Ph.D. in conversation with Yolonda Wilson\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/FSFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Microaggressions in Medicine from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by the three panelists that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn a world that too often marginalizes people based on their race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, body size\, or disability\, medicine can often be no different. Far from “doing no harm\,” it treats some patients unfairly\, leading to detrimental effects. Microaggressions in medicine are not rare\, but frequent in the healthcare experiences of marginalized patients. Recognizing this can help patients better understand and make sense of their experiences. \nBioethicists Lauren Freeman\, Ph.D.\, professor of philosophy at University of Louisville\, and Heather Stewart\, Ph.D.\, assistant professor of philosophy at Oklahoma State University\, argue that building such an awareness can also help current and future healthcare professionals recognize the serious and enduring consequences that microaggressions have on their patients. In their new book\, Microaggressions in Medicine\, Freeman and Stewart offer practical strategies for healthcare professionals to reduce microaggressions in their practices. Guided by diverse patient testimonies and case studies\, the book focuses on the harms that such patients face. It amplifies their voices\, stories\, and experiences\, which have too-often been excluded from mainstream bioethical\, medical\, and popular discussions. \nThe harms of microaggressions are anything but micro. Healthcare professionals have a moral obligation to prevent them as much as possible. Health equity can be achieved\, but only through first recognizing the harm caused by microaggressions in medical contexts. Shining a light on microaggressions in medicine and offering concrete ways for health professionals to avoid them in the future will make a positive difference in the lives of marginalized patients as they interact with medical institutions and practitioners. All patients deserve high quality\, patient-centered care but healthcare professionals must change their practices to achieve such equity. \nFreeman and Stewart will be in conversation with Yolonda Wilson\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Health Care Ethics at St. Louis University. Wilson does research in bioethics\, social and political philosophy\, race theory\, and feminist philosophy. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better\, Feel Better\, and Live Better
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 16\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better\, Feel Better\, and Live Better\, a FAN webinar featuring Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop\, Ph.D. in conversation with Charles Duhigg. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/AWFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Disengaged Teen from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Anderson and Winthrop that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nAdolescents are hardwired to explore and grow\, and learning is mainly how they do this. But a shocking majority of teens are disengaged from school\, simultaneously bored and overwhelmed. This is feeding an alarming teen mental health crisis. As kids get older and more independent\, parents often feel powerless to help. But fear not\, there are evidence-backed strategies to guide them from disengagement to drive\, in and out of school. \nFor the past five years\, award-winning journalist Jenny Anderson and the Brookings Institution’s global education expert Rebecca Winthrop\, Ph.D. have been investigating why so many children lose their love of learning in adolescence. Based on extensive original research\, including surveys of over 60\,000 students\, 25\,000 parents and 6\,000 teachers; as well as in-depth interviews with 100 students over years\, their new book\, The Disengaged Teen: Helping Kids Learn Better\, Feel Better\, and Live Better offers four modes of learning that students use to navigate through the shifting academic demands and social dynamics of middle and high school\, shaping the internal narratives about their skills\, potential\, and identity: Resister\, Passenger\, Achiever\, and Explorer. Understanding your child’s learning modes is vital for nurturing their ability to become Explorers. Anderson and Winthrop outline simple yet counterintuitive parenting strategies for connecting with your child\, tailoring your listening and communication styles to their needs\, igniting their curiosity\, and building self-awareness and emotional regulation. \nAnderson and Winthrop will be in conversation with Charles Duhigg (FAN ’24)\, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and author of the New York Times bestsellers Supercommunicators and The Power of Habit. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground Kurt Gray\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 23\, 2025\, 7:00 PM\, Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground\, a FAN webinar featuring Kurt Gray\, Ph.D. in conversation with Paul Bloom\, Ph.D. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/GrayFANWebinar \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Outraged from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Gray that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIt’s easy to assume that liberals and conservatives have radically different moral foundations. In his new book Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground\, Kurt Gray\, Ph.D. showcases the latest science to demonstrate that we all have the same moral mind—that everyone’s moral judgments stem from feeling threatened or vulnerable to harm. \nWe all care about protecting ourselves and the vulnerable. Conflict arises\, however\, when we have different perceptions of harm. We get outraged when we disagree about who the “real” victim is\, whether we’re talking about political issues\, fights with our in-laws\, or arguments on the playground. \nIn this fascinating and insightful tour of our moral minds\, Gray\, a professor in psychology and neuroscience at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where he directs the Deepest Beliefs Lab and the Center for the Science of Moral Understanding\, tackles popular myths that prevent us from understanding ourselves and those around us. While it is commonly believed that our ancestors were apex predators\, Gray argues that for most of our evolutionary history\, humans were more hunted than hunter. This explains why our minds are hard-wired to perceive threats and provides surprising insights on the scientific origins of our values and beliefs. Though we might think ourselves driven by objective reasoning\, Gray unveils new research that finds our moral judgments are based on gut feelings rather than rational thought and presents a compelling reminder that we are more alike than we might think. \nDrawing on groundbreaking research\, Gray provides a captivating new explanation for our moral outrage and unpacks how to best bridge divides. If you want to understand the morals of the “other side\,” ask yourself a simple question—what harms do they see? \nGray will be in conversation with Paul Bloom (FAN ’23)\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He is the author of seven books\, including his latest Psych: The Story of the Human Mind. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause Naomi Watts
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 29\, 2025\, 7:00-8:30 PM\, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause\, a FAN webinar featuring Naomi Watts in conversation with Heidi Stevens. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/NWattsFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Dare I Say It to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nPROGRAM NOTE: This is a 90-minute event that will include 30 minutes of Watts answering attendee questions. \nAcclaimed and beloved actress Naomi Watts\, whose work includes starring roles in Mulholland Drive\, 21 Grams\, The Impossible\, and FEUD: Capote vs. The Swans\, felt unprepared\, uneducated\, and ashamed when\, at the age of thirty-six\, she began experiencing symptoms that she would learn were the start of her entering perimenopause. Even though every woman grows older and will experience menopause\, these topics remain taboo\, especially in Hollywood and within the entertainment industry. \nFeeling confused\, alone\, and unsupported about this stage of her life\, Watts was determined to do better for herself and for other women and began boldly using her platform to normalize conversations about this natural process. In 2022\, she founded Stripes Beauty to help generations of women prepare for and navigate their midlife transition. \nBlending funny and poignant stories from Watts and her friends with advice from doctors\, hormone experts\, and nutritionists\, and a foreword by bestselling women’s health author\, Mary Claire Haver\, MD\, Watts’s new book\, Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I’d Known About Menopause\, takes the secrecy\, shame\, and anxiety out of experiencing menopause and aging. With chapters devoted to the different symptoms of menopause\, Watts shares the most up-to-date research in how to manage and tackle these and other physical and emotional challenges women encounter when they age. \nWatts 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. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Calm and Confident Kids
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 30\, 2025\, 7:00-8:00 PM\, The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Calm and Confident Kids\, a FAN webinar featuring Tina Payne Bryson\, Ph.D. and Georgie Wisen-Vincent\, LMFT in conversation with Carly Andrews. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/BWVFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of The Way of Play to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nMost parents understand that free\, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them\, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. \nPlaying with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact. In The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Calm and Confident Kids\, world-renowned pediatric therapists and play experts Tina Payne Bryson\, Ph.D. and Georgie Wisen-Vincent\, LMFT offer simple\, playful techniques that harness this caregiving magic in only a few minutes each day. \nFull of science-backed research\, real-life stories\, and charming line illustrations to bring this novel advice to life\, The Way of Play will help you nurture your kids and encourage them to become calm listeners\, cooperative problem solvers\, and respectful communicators. Just as important\, it will help your whole family have more fun together and build stronger relationships. \nBryson is the founder and CEO of The Center for Connection\, a multidisciplinary clinical practice in Southern California. She is the co-author (with Dan Siegel\, MD\, FAN ‘13) of four books\, including the New York Times bestsellers The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline. Wisen-Vincent is a nationally recognized play therapy expert and co-founder (with Bryson) and head of faculty for The Play Strong Institute\, a continuing education and training organization for professionals and parents. \nBryson and Wisen-Vincent will be in conversation with Carly Andrews\, executive director of The Alliance for Early Childhood\, a nonprofit organization devoted to nurturing the healthy development of young children by equipping early childhood educators\, parents\, and families with resources\, education\, and support. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
