SUMMARY:CHANGE THE WALLPAPER: TRANSFORMING CULTURAL PATTERNS TO BUILD MORE JUST COMMUNITIES
DESCRIPTION:How can ordinary people fight for social justice? Can individual actions change structural inequality? In Change the Wallpaper: Transforming Cultural Patterns to Build More Just Communities\, social psychologist Nilanjana Dasgupta\, Ph.D.\, offers a science-driven approach to achieving social change\, arguing that small changes to the “wallpaper”—the local cultures around us—are far more effective in producing structural change locally than seeking change through bias awareness training\, symbolic acts\, or relying solely on good intentions. \nBy integrating knowledge across diverse fields—including psychology\, neuroscience\, education\, sociology\, economics\, public health\, urban studies\, cultural geography\, and landscape architecture—Dasgupta shows how attitudes and beliefs take root in our mind based on what we see and hear every day. This wallpaper nudges our behavior to create or reinforce small inequalities that go unnoticed and accumulate over time. Disrupting these patterns and habits requires creating opportunities for social mixing across lines of difference\, allowing new relationships to form\, and promoting a better understanding of unfamiliar others’ experiences\, followed by organizing and collective action. Together\, these types of experiences and actions bring real change within our reach—in workplaces\, in neighborhoods\, in cities and towns. Dasgupta provides fresh\, actionable approaches for everyone interested in working toward justice for all. \nDasgupta is a Provost Professor of Psychology and the founding Director of the Institute of Diversity Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She will be in conversation with Jerry Kang\, the Ralph and Shirley Shapiro Distinguished Professor of Law and Distinguished Professor of Asian American Studies at the UCLA School of Law. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy Change the Wallpaper from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Dasgupta 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:GRAND ROUNDS: SHIFT: MANAGING YOUR EMOTIONS — SO THEY DON'T MANAGE YOU
DESCRIPTION:Whether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor\, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic\, or devastation after a painful break-up\, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be\, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad\,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time\, they function like an immune system\, alerting us to our surroundings\, telling us how to react to a situation\, and helping us make the right choices. \nBut how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross\, Ph.D.\, has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In his new bestselling book Shift: Managing Your Emotions — So They Don’t Manage You\, he dispels common myths—for instance\, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives. \nShift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds\, our relationships with other people\, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. \nKross is the director of the Emotion and Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan and professor in its top ranked psychology department and Ross School of Business. His book Chatter: The Voice in Our Head\, Why it Matters\, and How to Harness It was an international bestseller. \nKross will be in conversation with David Schreiber\, MD\, a psychiatrist specializing in child\, adolescent\, and adult crisis care. Dr. Schreiber is the CEO and co-founder of Compass Health Center (CHC) and Compass Virtual. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN and Compass Health Center are giving away copies of Shift to randomly selected Zoom attendees who are also clinicians. 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:Get Your Stories Straight
DESCRIPTION:Organize Your Life Stories Photos & Family Tree In One Family Heirloom Book\nDo you or a loved one have a surplus of photos that need sorting and personal stories that should be written down for future generations?

The end goal is to create a single book that will be a family heirloom for generations. \nAdrienne Fawcett has been collecting and telling stories for many years. She’s the former editor of the local news websites GazeboNews and DailyNorthShore; producer and editor of Architectural Lake Forest\, a book published by Lake Forest Preservation Foundation; and writer of Lake Bluff History Museum’s Lake Bluff Stories series. She has also worked as an interviewer for a book company that publishes autobiographies.
