SUMMARY:The Civil Rights Act at 60: Is Martin Luther King\, Jr.’s Dream for Chicago and the Country Attainable?
DESCRIPTION:Sixty 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 short-lived\, 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.

SUMMARY:The Stolen Wealth of Slavery: A Case for Reparations
DESCRIPTION:In 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. \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. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Slow Burn: The Hidden Costs of a Warming World
DESCRIPTION:It’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. \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. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Do Not Submit-Lake Forest
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling Open Mic-WALK-INS WELCOME\n  \nDNS takes place the second Wednesday of every month. No Cover Charge!\n  \nDo Not Submit Lake Forest takes place in a cozy room in the Gorton Center\, Lake Forest. It is a monthly storytelling open mic in an enthusiastic\, supportive environment free from pressure\, judgment\, or scoring. No experience is necessary to participate. All are welcome to speak or simply listen. Arrive at 7:15 to sign up for a spot\, and when your name is called\, participants will have up to 7 minutes to tell/read/tap dance any personal story/fiction/essay on proper flossing they’d like. All language and content is acceptable except for hate speech. No cover charge. Beer\, wine and non alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Hosted by Elizabeth Brown\, Mary Lou Gilliam\, and Sarita Miller and Jasmin Rodriguez \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Host\n \nAs a pathologist\, Elizabeth Brown spent hundreds of hours hunched over either a microscope or a dead body.  She then worked as a consultant to the medical device industry writing technical reports\, all dry as dust and utterly humerous.  Original thoughts were few\, as all statements had to be referenced.   Spreading her wings to creative non-fiction has been a liberating joy.  Elizabeth has performed at story telling events in Highwood\, Arlington Heights\, Evanston and Chicago\, but is delighted to be hosting an open mic in her home town of Lake Forest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMary Lou Gilliam is retired from two careers: English teaching and educational publishing. She has been on the stage since she was 10 doing dramatic readings\, singing\, or some combination thereof. An English major with a theater minor\, she found that teaching extended the performance world when she began writing first person narratives to model both writing and speaking for her students. Because she was born and raised in a small Swedish farm town in western Illinois\, think Garrison Keillor for thematic content. About ten years ago\, while considering retirement\, she took her stories on the road\, so to speak\, by joining Short Story Theatre in the Northshore suburbs. She has also performed at Story Lab Chicago\, Truth Be Told\, and Backyard Stories. Having lived quite a few decades by now\, her narratives include both the travails and thrills of a long (and possibly over-examined) life. She keeps busy with volunteer work\, private tutoring\, international travel\, and as much time with her four grandchildren as she can.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSarita Miller is a retired English/language arts teacher and the mother of two fine adults\, a lovely daughter-in-law\, and one adorable pup. Presently\, Sarita tutors reading\, writing\, and grammar\, something she greatly enjoys. During her days as a middle school teacher\, Sarita was known for telling stories during lessons. Although her students thought they were pulling one over on her and getting her “off task” when they asked for a story\, she explains that doing so was her plan from the beginning. To Sarita\, life is simply stories. She has shared several of hers with audiences at Short Story Theater in Highland Park and Story Lab in Chicago.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJasmin Rodriguez is a trained actress with over 9 years of stage\, commercial\, film\, storytelling experience. Most recently she completed commercial’s  for Malman Law and Spirit Juice. She has worked  in several independent films\, such as “Faithful Disappointment’s”\, Market Value”  and the TV true crime series “American Greed”. She completed her training at Second City\, Vagabond\, Sarantos Studios\, Wheaton Drama\, and Gorton Drama Studio. Jasmin is a dedicated actress and hard worker who is constantly looking to improve her talents. She enjoys nature walks by the lake\, bike riding\, yoga and travels to Europe.

SUMMARY:The Algebra of Wealth: Achieving Economic Security
DESCRIPTION:Today’s workers have more opportunities and mobility than any generation before. They also face unprecedented challenges\, including inflation\, labor and housing shortages\, and climate volatility. Even the notion of retirement is undergoing a profound rethink\, as our life spans extend and our relationship with work evolves. In this environment\, the tried-and-true financial advice our parents followed no longer applies. It’s time for a new playbook. \nIn The Algebra of Wealth: A Simple Formula for Financial Security\, Scott Galloway\, professor of marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business and a serial entrepreneur\, lays bare the rules of financial success in today’s economy. In his characteristic unvarnished\, no-BS style\, he explains what you need to know to better your chances for economic security no matter what. \nGalloway has founded nine companies\, including Prophet\, RedEnvelope\, L2\, and Section\, where he also teaches. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Four\, The Algebra of Happiness\, Post Corona\, and Adrift: America in 100 Charts. He has served on the boards of directors of The New York Times Company\, Urban Outfitters\, University of California/Berkeley’s Haas School of Business\, Panera Bread\, and Ledger. He has won multiple Webby and Best Podcast awards\, and his books have been translated into 28 languages. Across his Prof G and Pivot podcasts\, No Mercy/No Malice newsletter\, and his YouTube channel\, Galloway reaches millions. \nGalloway will be in conversation with Adam Alter\, Ph.D. (FAN ’17\, ’23)\, Professor of Marketing at New York University’s Stern School of Business and the Robert Stansky Teaching Excellence Faculty Fellow\, with an affiliated appointment in the New York University Psychology Department.

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:Brave New Words: How AI Will Revolutionize Education (And Why That’s a Good Thing)
DESCRIPTION:Whether 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+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Why We Remember: Unlocking Memory’s Power to Hold on to What Matters
DESCRIPTION:A 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. \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. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \n

SUMMARY:Thinking with Your Hands: How Gestures Shape Our Thoughts
DESCRIPTION:We 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+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:A Fatal Inheritance: How a Family Misfortune Revealed a Deadly Medical Mystery
DESCRIPTION:In 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 Ihis 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.
