SUMMARY:Transforming Police into Jedi Peacebuilders
DESCRIPTION:This Olio event will focus on NYU professor Brad Heckman’s work with the NYPD to imbue police officers with skills to de-escalate conflict and build trust with civilians during our divided times — in the wake of countless tragic incidents between cops and civilians and against the backdrop of Black Lives Matter. ​We’ll focus on the question:  How do you meaningfully engage and communicate with a group that may be dissonant with your values\, ethics\, and beliefs? \nUsing his illustrations\, stories\, demonstrations\, and drawings\, Brad will discuss the challenges and outcomes of promoting peaceful change in an extraordinarily challenging environment. He’ll include skills that can not only be used on the beat\, but in our daily lives as well. He’ll also speak to his recent work building young peacebuilders in Iraq and other post-conflict countries.

SUMMARY:Don’t Be Evil: Rana Foroohar
DESCRIPTION:In the early days\, when Google was a scrappy upstart with a utopian vision of transforming the world for the better through tech\, its mantra was “Don’t be evil.” But they and other behemoths of the tech world—including Amazon\, Facebook\, and Apple—have long since abandoned their founding principles in the name of monetizing both our data and our attention through digital surveillance\, privacy breaches\, predatory algorithms\, and products designed to manipulate our desires. Don’t Be Evil is acclaimed journalist Rana Foroohar’s investigation of the dark turn tech has taken from weaving our social fabric to undoing it.

SUMMARY:Midcentury Stereopanorama with Eric Drysdale: Look and see the 1950s in 3-D!
DESCRIPTION:For the last 20 years\, writer and comedian Eric Drysdale has been collecting photographs from the 1950s taken by amateurs with the Stereo Realist 3-dimensional camera system.  This remarkable technology was something like the ‘50s version of virtual reality\, pairing Kodak’s Kodachrome film with a precision viewer to deliver uncannily realistic\, full-color\, three-dimensional images. Think of it as an IMAX View-Master.\n\nDuring the Stereo Realist’s heyday in the early 1950s\, the mass-market 3-D camera was being used in hundreds of thousands of American households —but the technology has been largely forgotten.\n\nEric has narrowed his collection of tens of thousands of these amazing images to about 150 of the best\, and you’ll see them the way they were meant to be seen – in fully-restored high-quality vintage stereoscopic viewers.

SUMMARY:Andrew Marantz on the Failures of Silicon Valley and the Rise of the Alt-Right
DESCRIPTION:“There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected\, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future.” -Mark Zuckerberg. \nZuckerberg is just one of the many optimistic entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley who set out to create a free and democratic internet.

SUMMARY:The Human Swarm: How Our Societies Arise\, Thrive\, and Fall
DESCRIPTION:What are societies? What keeps them together and tears them apart?\n\n\n\nA New Yorker can fly to Los Angeles–or Borneo–with little fear. But\, If a chimpanzee ventures into the territory of a different group\, it will almost certainly be killed. \n\n\n\n\n\nPsychologists have done little to explain this: For years\, they have held that our biology puts a hard upper limit of about 150 people on the size of our social groups. But human societies are\, in fact\, vastly larger.\n\n\n\nHow do we manage—by and large—to get along with each other?\n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Mark W. Moffett will discuss how sprawling\, highly complex societies have been created and what it takes to sustain them. He will examine the social adaptations that bind the members to their societies and explores how the tension between identity and anonymity defines how those groups work—and sometimes don’t.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\nDr. Mark W. Moffett\, also known as “Doctor Bugs\,” the Indiana Jones of Entomology\,” “The Martha Stewart of dirt\,” and “the Jane Goodall of ants” is a Photographer and a Biologist.

SUMMARY:Atheism & Morality: Mapping the Game with Andrew Dennis
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Dennis’s talk focuses on the issues resulting from an atheist worldview. He starts by introducing a custom-made framework that utilizes game theory to identify and analyze players in what he calls “The Values Game.” He then divides the concept of atheism into three components and uses this stratification to explain how conversations in atheist spaces get derailed. \nBy the end\, attendees should be able to: \n\nMaintain a new and intuitive understanding of human moral development\nGrasp the generalized history of how we got to where we are\nUnderstand the pitfalls that activist groups fall into\nImprove their own activism\, general understanding of reality\, and conversations with others

SUMMARY:The Enigma of Clarence Thomas: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Enigma of Clarence Thomas: A Conversation between Corey Robin\, the author of The Enigma of Clarence Thomas (Metropolitan Books\, 2019) and Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center\, CUNY\, and Kendall Thomas\, Nash Professor of Law at Columbia Law School\, on December 4\, 2019 at 6:30PM in the Kelly Skylight Room of The Graduate Center\, CUNY. \nIn The Enigma of Clarence Thomas\, the first examination of its kind\, Corey Robin delves deeply into both Thomas’s biography and his jurisprudence\, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches. The hidden source of Thomas’s conservative views\, Robin shows\, is a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. Thomas is convinced that any government action on behalf of African-Americans will be tainted by racism; the most African-Americans can hope for is that white people will get out of their way. \nCorey Robin is the author of The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump and Fear: The History of a Political Idea. He teaches political science at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center\, CUNY. Robin’s writing has appeared in the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, Harper’s\, and the London Review of Books\, among other publications\, and has been translated into thirteen languages. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nKendall Thomas is the Nash Professor of Law and co-founder and director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia Law School. His teaching and research interests include U.S. and comparative constitutional law\, human rights\, legal philosophy\, feminist legal theory\, critical race theory\, and law and sexuality. His writings have appeared in several academic journals and volumes of collected essays. Thomas is a co-editor of Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings that Founded the Movement\, The New Press\, 1996\, and What’s Left of Theory?\, Routledge Press\, 2000.
