SUMMARY:Autocracy in the World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion with Ruth Ben-Ghiat for a conversation on the role that media must play in keeping democracy alive and well.\n\n\nIf 2024 was the year of democracy—a year that saw more people worldwide heading to the polls than ever before—then what is in store for 2025? Early returns are worrisome: political repression continues to throttle civil society movements while global media struggles to keep pace with rampant information manipulation and propaganda. In many places autocratic leaders are tightening their grip on power and democratic backsliding seems to be on the rise globally. Join Perry World House as we welcome Ruth Ben-Ghiat\, an expert on fascism and authoritarian movements\, who will talk about our current global political moment in history\, how it echoes with authoritarianism of the past\, and the critical role media must play in order to keep democracy alive and well. \n\n\nSPEAKER\n \nRuth Ben-Ghiat is Professor of History and Italian Studies at New York University. She writes about authoritarianism\, propaganda\, and democracy protection. She is the recipient of Guggenheim and other fellowships and appears frequently on MSNBC She publishes Lucid\, a Substack newsletter on threats to democracy in the U.S. and abroad. \nHer latest book\, Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present examines how authoritarian leaders use corruption\, violence\, propaganda\, and machismo to stay in power\, and how resistance to them has unfolded over a century. She is also a consultant for television and film productions\, including the Academy Award-winning 2022 movie Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro\, 2022)\, and the Netflix docuseries Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial (Joe Berlinguer\, 2024). \nShe testified to the House Jan. 6 Committee and advises civil society organizations\, including churches and multinational corporations\, that face autocratic interferences in the US and around the world.

And in January 2024 she co-authored an amicus brief submitted to the Supreme Court on the January 6 insurrection seen through the lens of the history of international anti-democratic violence. \n \nMODERATOR\nSarah Banet-Weiser\, the Walter H. Annenberg Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania\, is also its Lauren Berlant Professor of Communication. In addition\, she is a research professor at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the founding director of the Center for Collaborative Communication at the Annenberg Schools (C3). \nHer teaching and research interests include gender in the media\, identity\, citizenship\, and cultural politics\, consumer culture and popular media\, race and the media\, and intersectional feminism.

SUMMARY:Book Talk - Building Ghosts: Past Lives and Lost Places in a Changing City
DESCRIPTION:Building Ghosts: Past Lives and Lost Places in a Changing City (Temple University Press\, 2024) and the ghosts that reveal new truths.\n\n\n“Building ghosts” are the idiosyncratic remnants or imprints of demolished buildings\, left behind on the sides of neighboring structures. Mostly seen in older Northeastern cities with rowhomes or party-wall adjacencies\, they can reveal remarkable things\, such as an old staircase going up the side of a building or plaster traces left by a set of shelves in an attic gable. As history in our changing cities is erased and remade\, these ghosts can be ephemeral or enduring. They can be quickly revealed and replaced in a neighborhood seeing rapid change or unveiled and never re-covered in a neighborhood that has not seen new construction in a long time. For this event\, author Molly Lester and photographer Michael Bixler will discuss their new book\, Building Ghosts: Past Lives and Lost Places in a Changing City (Temple University Press\, November 2024) and the ghosts that reveal new truths and provocations about the changing city. \n \nThis event will be held at the Center for Design Philadelphia\, 1218 Arch Street\, Philadelphia PA 19107. \n \nRegistration is not required for in-person events\, however it is helpful for our planning. Light refreshments will be served. \n \nLight refreshments will be served. \n \nFor more information\, click HERE!

SUMMARY:Healthy Soil\, Healthy Water: Composting for a Thriving Watershed with Colleen Falicki
DESCRIPTION:Everything is connected—from the scraps in your kitchen to the water in our streams. When food waste is composted instead of thrown away\, it transforms into a powerful soil conditioner that benefits watersheds in major ways: \n\n\nReduces runoff: Compost-enriched soil acts like a sponge\, holding rainwater and filtering out pollutants before they reach rivers and streams. \n\n\n\n\nBuilds healthier landscapes: Compost restores soil health\, which supports stronger plants and ecosystems that naturally protect water quality. \n\n\n\n\nReduces chemical pollution: By naturally enriching your soil\, compost decreases the need for synthetic fertilizers\, which often wash into waterways\, causing harmful algae blooms and disrupting ecosystems. \n\n\nBy choosing to compost\, you’re protecting your plants and your local waterways.\n \nJoin  Colleen Falicki  to discover how simple composting can be and how it helps preserve our water—one scrap at a time. \nAccessibility information:  \nThe first floor of the Four Mills Barn (where the program takes place) is wheelchair accessible and has heating/air conditioning\, a water bottle refilling station\, accessible all gender bathrooms\, and seating available. The first floor family restroom has a private changing table and there is a nearby private area that can be used as a lactation room.

SUMMARY:Uncle Bobbie's X Eve L. Ewing - Original Sins Book Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join Uncle Bobbie’s as we welcome award-winning author\, Eve L. Ewing for the launch of her latest book\, “Original Sins”.\n\n\nWhat if instead of asking\, “why don’t our schools work?” we asked\, “what if they’re actually doing what they were built to do?“ \nGot your attention yet? \nThe brilliant\, award-wining author\, Eve L. Ewing will tackle this question and so much more when we welcome her for the launch of her latest book\, “Original Sins”. Eve will be in conversation with writer and sociologist\, Janine de Novais. \nQ&A will follow the discussion. \nAll copies of Original Sins will be signed. \nSee you there! \n****** \nAbout the book: \nIf all children could just get an education\, the logic goes\, they would have the same opportunities later in life. But this historical tour de force makes it clear that the opposite is true: The U.S. school system has played an instrumental role in creating and upholding racial hierarchies\, preparing children to expect unequal treatment throughout their lives. \nIn Original Sins\, Ewing demonstrates that our schools were designed to propagate the idea of white intellectual superiority\, to “civilize” Native students and to prepare Black students for menial labor. Education was not an afterthought for the Founding Fathers; it was envisioned by Thomas Jefferson as an institution that would fortify the country’s racial hierarchy. Ewing argues that these dynamics persist in a curriculum that continues to minimize the horrors of American history. The most insidious aspects of this system fall below the radar in the forms of standardized testing\, academic tracking\, disciplinary policies\, and uneven access to resources. \nBy demonstrating that it’s in the DNA of American schools to serve as an effective and underacknowledged mechanism maintaining inequality in this country today\, Ewing makes the case that we need a profound reevaluation of what schools are supposed to do\, and for whom. This book will change the way people understand the place we send our children for eight hours a day. \n \nAbout the author: \nEve L. Ewing is a writer\, scholar\, and cultural organizer from Chicago. She is the award-winning author of four books: the poetry collections Electric Arches and 1919\, the nonfiction work Ghosts in the Schoolyard: Racism and School Closings on Chicago’s South Side\, and a novel for young readers\, Maya and the Robot. She is the co-author (with Nate Marshall) of the play No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks. She has written several projects for Marvel Comics\, most notably the Ironheart series\, and is currently writing Black Panther. Ewing is an associate professor in the Department of Race\, Diaspora\, and Indigeneity at the University of Chicago. Her work has been published in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, and many other venues. \n… \nDoors open at 6:00pm. \nBuy your book now and save on the General Admission fee! \nAll tickets are non-refundable. \nStreet parking available. Wheelchair accessible entrance also available through the rear parking lot. \nChildren older than 5-years old need a ticket for entry.
