SUMMARY:FAN: Random Acts of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Why do kids born in the summer get diagnosed more often with ADHD and the flu? How are marathons harmful to your health\, even when you’re not running? What do surgeons and salesmen have in common? Which annual event made people 30 percent more likely to get COVID-19? As a University of Chicago-trained economist and Harvard medical school professor and doctor\, Anupam Bapu Jena\, MD\, Ph.D. is uniquely equipped to answer these questions. \n \nIn Random Acts of Medicine: The Hidden Forces That Sway Doctors\, Impact Patients\, and Shape Our Health\, Dr. Jena and his co-author Christopher Worsham\, MD show us how medicine really works and its effect on all of us. In the spirit of Freakonomics and Noise\, this singular work combines popular topics like behavioral science\, health\, and medicine through the lens of economic principles and big data insights to reveal the unexpected but predictable events that profoundly affect our health. Relying on ingeniously devised natural experiments—random events that unknowingly turn us into experimental subjects—the authors help us gain a better understanding of how medicine is practiced and how it could work better. \nDr. Jena is the Joseph P. Newhouse Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and a physician in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is also a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. As an economist and physician\, Dr. Jena’s research involves several areas of health economics and policy including the use of natural experiments in health care\, the economics of physician behavior and the physician workforce\, medical malpractice\, the economics of health care productivity\, and the economics of medical innovation. \nDr. Jena will be in conversation with award-winning journalist Robert Kolker\, the author of several bestsellers\, among them Hidden Valley Road\, an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and a selection of Oprah’s Book Club that was named a Top Ten Book of the Year by the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Wall Street Journal\, and Slate. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.\n \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Random Acts of Medicine to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nAnupam Bapu Jena\, MD\, Ph.D. Joseph P. Newhouse Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School and host of the “Freakonomics\, MD” podcast \nRobert Kolker Journalist and bestselling author of “Hidden Valley Road” and “Lost Girls” \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:FAN: Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic and What We Can Do About It
DESCRIPTION:In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future\, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes\, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities\, and even sabotage relationships with friends to “get ahead.” Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety\, depression\, and even self-harm in America’s highest-achieving schools. Parents\, educators\, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: How can we teach our kids to strive toward excellence without crushing them? \nIn Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic—And What We Can Do About It\, award-winning reporter Jennifer Breheny Wallace investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture and finds out what we must do to fight back. Through deep research and interviews with today’s leading child psychologists\, Wallace shows what kids need from adults is not more pressure\, but to feel like they matter\, and have intrinsic self-worth not contingent upon external achievements. Parents and educators who adopt the language and values of mattering help children see themselves as a valuable contributor to a larger community. And in an ironic twist\, kids who receive consistent feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have the resilience\, self-confidence\, and psychological security to thrive. \n \nMs. Wallace began her career in television at 60 Minutes\, where she worked as a journalist for many years. She is a frequent contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She will be in conversation with Denise Dubravec\, the Winnetka Campus Principal/Assistant Superintendent of New Trier High School\, District 203. Ms. Dubravec is in her twenty-s \nixth year as a school administrator and has enjoyed a 12-year tenure within the New Trier community. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded but not livestreamed and will be available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \n  \nNOTE: First 100 households will receive a free copy of Never Enough. Books will also be on sale. No registration required. Event start time is Central Time (CT). \nThe Family Action Network (FAN) is a 501(c)(3) organization that curates a high-quality speaker series. All FAN programs are free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal
DESCRIPTION:Location:\nON ZOOM\n\nNote: Event start time is Central Time (CT). \n \n\nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Punished for Dreaming to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nIn Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal\, Bettina L. Love\, Ph.D. argues forcefully that\, with the release of the 1983 report “A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform\,” Ronald Reagan’s presidency ushered in a War on Black Children\, pathologizing and penalizing them in concert with the War on Drugs. New policies punished schools with policing\, closure\, and loss of funding in the name of reform\, as white savior\, egalitarian efforts increasingly allowed private interests to infiltrate the system. These changes implicated children of color\, and Black children in particular\, as low performing\, making it all too easy to turn a blind eye to their disproportionate conviction and incarceration. \nIn this prequel to The New Jim Crow\, Dr. Love\, the William F. Russell Professor at Teachers College\, Columbia University\, serves up a blistering account of four decades of educational reform through the lens of the people who lived it. Punished for Dreaming lays bare the devastating effect on 25 Black Americans caught in the intersection of economic gain and racist ideology. In a recent interview\, Dr. Love stated that “these interviews are more than data points or individual grievances about a bad school experience; they represent generations of pain\, trauma\, and loss inflicted on Black children by America’s public school system.” With input from leading U.S. economists\, Dr. Love concludes the book with a road map for repair\, arguing for reparations with transformation for all children at its core. \nDr. Love will be in conversation with Ganae McAlpin-Toney\, the Director of Equity for Evanston Township High School D202 and the facilitator for the second-year induction program. Ms. McAlpin-Toney is a mother of two\, educator\, coach\, and facilitator dedicated to fostering relationships among people of different races\, socio-economic status\, and sexuality. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
