SUMMARY:FAN: Failures of Forgiveness: What We Get Wrong and How to Do Better
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\nAdvice | Behavior | Character | Civics | Culture | Empathy | Ethics | Grief | Inequality | Leadership | Mental Health | Morality | Philosophy | Psychology | Race | Relationships | Religion | Social Justice | Trauma | Well Being\nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Failures of Forgiveness from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Cherry and Mr. Stewart that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \n \nMyisha Cherry\, Ph.D.’s investigation of forgiveness began after the mass shooting at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston\, South Carolina\, when some who had lost loved ones forgave what seemed unforgiveable. She was troubled by observers who focused on this “inspiring” response over the racial hatred that led to this tragedy. As associate professor of philosophy at the University of California\, Riverside\, where she also directs the Emotion and Society Lab\, she was moved to pin down the potential and pitfalls of how we make amends—to provide careful\, moral prescriptions. \nProf. Cherry’s new book\, Failures of Forgiveness: What We Get Wrong and How to Do Better is a reckoning with widespread\, wrongheaded beliefs. She examines how forgiveness can go wrong in families\, between friends\, at work\, in the media\, and in politics. Prof. Cherry addresses forgiveness and race\, cancelling versus forgiving\, forgiving yourself\, and more. She argues that we can forgive and still be angry; there can be good reasons not to forgive; and forgiving a wrong without tackling root causes solves nothing. \nProviding new pathways to think about the ways we expect and react to wrongdoing\, Prof. Cherry offers in-depth advice and takeaways\, including 1) Forgiveness entails forgivers\, withholders\, and requestors\, not just villains and victims; 2) Forgiveness is not an action or a process\, but rather a set of moral practices; 3) It can end with relief\, release\, or reconciliation; and 4) Forgiveness will not save us but changing our relationship with it will get us closer to saving ourselves. \nProf. Cherry is the author of The Case for Rage: Why Anger Is Essential to Anti-Racist Struggle and UnMuted: Conversations on Prejudice\, Oppression\, and Social Justice\, which draws on her popular podcast UnMute. She will be in conversation with Danté Stewart\, is a theologian\, essayist\, cultural critic\, and author of Shoutin’ In The Fire: An American Epistle. Mr. Stewart’s work has appeared in the Atlantic\, New York Times\, the Washington Post\, TIME\, ESPN’s Andscape\, Oxford American\, Sojourners\, NPR\, CNN\, MSNBC\, and more. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \n\n\n\n\nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Failures of Forgiveness from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Prof. Cherry and Mr. Stewart that will start immediately after the webinar.

These are tough moments for parent and child alike\, often complicated by the fear that the misstep is also an indictment of our parenting. But what each of these “fails” has in common for our kids is the precious silver lining of a chance for character building and developing more grit—if we help them process their mistakes well. \nAn invaluable playbook for anxious parents everywhere\, Eight Setbacks That Can Make a Child a Success by parenting expert Michelle Icard (FAN ’22)\, offers specific and unexpected advice about what to say\, what not to say\, and what to do to help children in eight categories of tense situations. Distilled from Icard’s decades of experience working with tweens\, teenagers\, and families\, she underscores that there is always a chance for a child to gain new and stronger decision-making skills\, and for the parent-child relationship to strengthen. \nIcard is the author of Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen (2021) and Middle School Makeover (2014). She has a degree in education and has worked with parents\, children\, and teachers for more than 20 years. A writer for the Today show parenting team\, NBC News Learn\, CNN Science and Wellness\, and the Washington Post\, Icard’s work has also been featured in the Chicago Tribune\, Christian Science Monitor\, Redbook\, Time\, and People. \nIcard will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health. 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 is suitable for youth 12+.

SUMMARY:FAN: Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America
DESCRIPTION:During the impeachment crisis of 2019\, Heather Cox Richardson\, Ph.D.\, professor of history at Boston College\, launched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. It soon turned into a popular Substack newsletter\, Letters from an American\, and its subscriber base ballooned to more than two million dedicated readers who rely on her plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in America. \n  \nIn Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America\, Prof. Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative\, explaining how\, over the decades\, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism — creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this nation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. \nProf. Richardson’s talent is to wrangle our giant\, meandering\, and confusing news feed into a coherent story that singles out what we should pay attention to\, what the precedents are\, and what possible paths lie ahead. In her trademark calm prose\, she is realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Her command of history allows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch McConnell\, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal\, the lingering fears of socialism\, the death of the liberal consensus and birth of “movement conservatism.” \nProf. Richardson will be in conversation with Claire Bond Potter\, Ph.D.\, Professor of History Emeritus at The New School for Social Research in New York City\, and the author of the Political Junkie Substack and an associated podcast\, Why Now? She has written for the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, the New Republic\, Yale Review\, and Dissent. Her most recent book is Political Junkies: From Talk Radio to Twitter\, How Alternative Media Hooked Us on Politics and Broke Our Democracy. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of Democracy Awakening to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page.
