SUMMARY:Nevertheless She Existed: Taking Up Space\, Women Who Took To the Skies
DESCRIPTION:Nevertheless She Existed: the Women They Don’t Want You to Know About is the shameless feminist party you’ve been waiting for. Each month a lineup of female storytellers\, comedians\, and historians join forces to share the stories of some of the greatest women the world has ever known (but history erased). We’re cracking open the history books and throwing in some feminism- one bad bitch at a time. \nThis month’s theme: Taking Up Space\, Women Who Took to the Skies \nThis November\, Nevertheless She Existed is teaming up with Science Friday to celebrate women in space! Ladies have looked to the sky for centuries—even when men on Earth told them to stay grounded. We’re sharing the celestial stories of the female astronomers\, astrophysicists\, and other scientists who shot for the stars and expanded our horizons. \nFeaturing:  \nElah Feder (Science Friday) \nYasmin Tayag (Medium) \nMaya Desh (HBO\, Funny or Die) \nMoiya McTier (Columbia Astrophysics PhD) \nDoors: 6:30pm/ Show: 7:00pm

SUMMARY:Lateral Cooking: Niki Segnit with Hannah Goldfield
DESCRIPTION:Niki Segnit used to follow recipes to the letter\, even when she’d made a dish a dozen times. \nBut as she tested the combinations that informed The Flavor Thesaurus\, she detected the basic rubrics that underpinned most recipes. Join her as she shares these formulas\, which are infinitely adaptable. The result is greater creativity in the kitchen through improvisation\, resourcefulness and the knowledge and confidence to cook by heart. New Yorker’s Hannah Goldfield moderates. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Neuroscience and the Study of Intergenerational Trauma: How Does the Remote Past Get Under Our Skin?
DESCRIPTION:How do we “remember” things that did not happen to us? Neuroscience has made remarkable discoveries about ways in which our brains and bodies can be affected by traumatic experiences of our parents. We know that children born to survivors of cataclysmic events are themselves more susceptible to stress\, and at greater risk of mental illnesses like PTSD\, despite never having experienced the trauma themselves. Epigenetics\, the in-utero environment\, early experiences\, and the parent-child relationship all play a role. These discoveries have spurred a compelling field of research into intergenerational trauma\, revealing a complexity of biological and psychological interactions determining risk or resilience – but what does this new knowledge mean for survivors and their children? Scholars in the humanities and arts have long explored the lived experiences of those who feel they have inherited trauma from past generations. What can neuroscientists learn from these explorations\, and what can other disciplines take from advances in neuroscience? We hear from pioneering researchers\, clinicians\, and scholars as they make sense of how the remote past gets under the skin to affect the present. \nSpeakers:\nFrances Champagne\, PhD\, Professor of Psychology\, University of Texas at Austin\nGabriele M. Schwab\, PhD\, Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature\, University of California\, Irvine\nRachel Yehuda\, PhD\, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience\, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai \n  \nDiscussant:\nMarianne Hirsch\, PhD\, William Peterfield Trent Professor of English and Comparative Literature\, Columbia University \n\nModerator:\nClare McCormack\, PhD\, Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience\, Columbia University \n  \nFree and open to the public\, but RSVP is required via Eventbrite. This event is part of the Seminars in Society and Neuroscience series.

DESCRIPTION:Neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert\, PhD\, is fascinated by how the brain controls our every movement. The ease with which humans move our arms\, our eyes\, even our lips when we speak masks the true complexity of the control. While computers can now beat grandmasters at chess\, no computer can yet control a robot to manipulate a chess piece with the dexterity of a six-year-old child. Join Dr. Wolpert as he discusses what makes control so hard\, especially in the face of incomplete or rapidly changing information about the world. \nThis conversation will be moderated by Shreya Saxena\, PhD\, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute.

SUMMARY:History Behind the Headlines: Socialism
DESCRIPTION:Embraced by some\, deplored by others\, misunderstood by many\, socialism is back and it’s a hot topic in presidential politics. With younger voters increasingly supporting socialism\, the growing movement is changing the national conversation and potentially\, the Democratic party. But when a recent Gallup poll asked Americans what socialism actually is\, answers varied wildly. Columbia Journalism School Director of Academic Affairs\, and former Editor-in-Chief of The Forward Jane Eisner sits down with an all-star panel to discuss socialism today\, its complicated past\, and how New York’s predominantly Jewish socialist movement paved the way for change a century ago. She is joined by University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor of American Jewish History\, Tony Michels; Washington Post columnist\, Catherine Rampell; New York Post columnist\, Karol Markowicz; and former Deputy Director of the Democratic Socialists of America\, David Duhalde.

SUMMARY:The Seine: The River That Made Paris
DESCRIPTION:Voyage down the Seine with journalist Elaine Sciolino as she explores the history of the beloved Parisian river and the lives it shapes. \nIn the spring of 1978\, as a young journalist in Paris\, Elaine Sciolino was seduced by a river. In The Seine\, she tells the story of that river through its rich history and lively characters—a bargewoman\, a riverbank bookseller\, a houseboat dweller\, a famous cameraman known for capturing the river’s light. She patrols with river police\, rows with a restorer of antique boats\, discovers a champagne vineyard\, and even dares to swim in the Seine. Sciolino’s keen eye and vivid prose bring the river to life as she discovers its origins on a remote plateau of Burgundy\, where a pagan goddess healed pilgrims at an ancient temple. She follows the Seine to Le Havre\, where it meets the sea. Braiding memoir\, travelogue and history through the Seine’s winding route\, Sciolino offers a love letter to Paris and the river at its heart and invites readers to explore its magic. \nA book signing follows the event.

SUMMARY:Villains of History: On Adolf Hitler with Dr. Benjamin Hett and Dr. Gail Saltz
DESCRIPTION:Behind the infamous deeds of history’s most notorious figures lie complex and mysterious human minds. Dr. Gail Saltz\, the author\, psychoanalyst and television commentator\, invites experts and brings her own expertise to bear as she examines the psychology of the villains of history\, including Adolf Hitler. \nWhy did democracy fall apart so quickly and completely in Germany in the 1930s? How did a democratic government allow Adolf Hitler to seize power? What personally drove Hitler to become a dictator and architect of mass genocide? Join Dr. Saltz and Dr. Benjamin Hett for this conversation on how Hitler used populist insurgencies to bring the Nazis to power and how the misguided confidence of conservative politicians resulted in a failure to recognize that their efforts played directly into Hitler’s hands. Hett\, a scholar and gifted storyteller\, will share how Hitler was able to take hold of the government\, the failures of the Weimar Republic and the shortsightedness of German politicians who allowed it to happen.

SUMMARY:Festival Albertine: How Do We Get People to Care
DESCRIPTION:Artists and activists will be called upon to discuss how to change people’s minds and amplify the call to action.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\, music\, drama—these are key resources for societies trying to come to grips with new realities. In recent years we’ve seen them begin to grapple with climate change\, but that engagement must now grow. The arts have traditionally engaged with what seemed the most dramatic questions: the struggles of one set of human beings with another. That struggle is still underway\, of course\, but now we’ve added something different: the terrifying drama of people with a suddenly angry natural world. How does this new moment redefine what we think about when we take up brush or pen\, camera or keyboard? What is the work of a poet in a world on fire\, or an orchestra in a city where the seas are rising?\n\nWith Irina Brook\, Lauren Groff\, Fabrice Hyber\, and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky. Moderated by Bill McKibben.

SUMMARY:Lincoln Center White Light Conversation: Let’s Talk About Religion
DESCRIPTION:God was declared dead in 1966\, no longer relevant to an increasingly secular society. Today\, people around the world ardently seek religious and faith-based experiences\, at times with an intolerant fervor. How did we vacillate between such extremes in the span of only half a century? In modern society\, few topics are as subject to ignorance\, misunderstanding\, and manipulation as religion. Although it is a central building block of human consciousness\, we possess surprisingly little knowledge about religious traditions—both of others and our own. From a more generalized “spirituality” to intersections with science and art\, religion has continued to powerfully resonate in our current challenging climate. Join WNYC’s John Schaefer and a group of leading thinkers for a spirited panel discussion exploring the many contradictions inherent in our understanding of religion and the evolutionary pathways of religious belief. \nSeating is limited\, and is available on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n  \nSpeakers: \nJohn Schaefer\, moderator \nKelly Brown Douglas\, dean of the Episcopal Divinity School\, Union Theological Seminary \nMarcelo Gleiser\, theoretical physicist and astronomer \nJames MacMillan\, composer \nStephen Prothero\, author\, Religious Literacy
