SUMMARY:Great Decisions with Daniel Drezner|US Changing Leadership in World Economy
DESCRIPTION:Join WorldBoston for a timely Great Decisions program on U.S. Changing Leadership in the World’s Economy featuring Dr. Daniel Drezner.\n\n\n\nUnder President Biden\, the U.S. has advanced new ideas about trade\, technology\, industrial policy\, competition with China\, and the organization of the world economy. For most of the postwar era\, the U.S. has tied its global leadership to cooperative agendas aimed at creating a more open-world trading system\, but that has apparently come to an end. What are America’s options and opportunities as a leader of the world economy? How will America’s “foreign policy for the middle class” and strategic competition with China impact its leadership role? How can the postwar rules and institutions of the world economy be made safe for economic nationalism and great power competition? \nJoin us for a timely discussion of this topic with Dr. Daniel Drezner\, Distinguished Professor of International Politics and Associate Dean of Research at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. This program will feature an expert presentation\, live audience Q&A\, and time for networking and discussion with other globally-oriented participants in the Newsfeed Café. \nThis program is free and open to the public\, but advance registration is required. \nThe program will be live-streamed to Zoom from 6:00-7:00 PM. To attend virtually\, please register here. \n\n\n\nDaniel W. Drezner is Professor of International Politics\, a nonresident senior fellow at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs\, and the co-director of Fletcher’s Russia and Eurasia Program. Prior to joining The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy\, he taught at the University of Chicago and the University of Colorado at Boulder. He has previously held positions with Civic Education Project\, the RAND Corporation and the U.S. Department of the Treasury\, and received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the United States\, Council on Foreign Relations\, and Harvard University. Drezner has written seven books\, including All Politics is Global and Theories of International Politics and Zombies\, and edited three others\, including The Uses and Abuses of Weaponized Interdependence. He has published articles in numerous scholarly journals as well as in the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Politico\, and Foreign Affairs\, and has been a regular contributor to Foreign Policy and the Washington Post. He received his B.A. in political economy from Williams College and an M.A. in economics and PhD in political science from Stanford University.

SUMMARY:Trapped:  Does the Security Industry Make Us Less Safe?
DESCRIPTION:Setha Low and Mark Maguire in Conversation\n\n\nCan security be bought? At this moment when people are nervous about their safety\, authors Setha Low and Mark Maguire discuss how security has become a commodity\, causing both those with and those without it to live in fear. In their new book\, Trapped: Life Under Security Capitalism and How to Escape It\, they explore — in interviews with police\, private contractors\, and ordinary citizens — how the security-industrial-complex actually increases anxiety — and what can be done to break down walls for a freer\, safer\, and more just society. Low\, a distinguished professor of psychology\, anthropology\, earth and environmental sciences\, and women’s and gender studies at the CUNY Graduate Center\, and Maguire\, a professor anthropology at Maynooth University in Ireland\, speak with Alex S. Vitale\, a professor of sociology and coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center. \n \nPresented with the Ph.D. Program in Anthropology\, the Ph.D. Program in Earth and Environmental Sciences\, and the Public Space Research Group.

SUMMARY:The Anti-Caste Collective: Reading\, Reflection\, and Action (2025)
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for this book club experience designed to  build anti-caste capacity!\n\n\n\n \nThe Invitation\nWith the continued rise of the multi-racial right\, and specifically Hindutva politics and rhetoric in diasporan communities\, we felt called to launch The Anti-Caste Collective\, with the intention to build a community in Canada that is committed to interrogating\, disrupting and dismantling systems of supremacy. A community where each person’s dignity\, safety\, and belonging needs matter. \nLeena Sharma Seth (she/they) and Adeeta Aulakh( she/her)\, of Mending the Chasm\, invite you to join this virtual five-session facilitated book club experience. \nThese sessions offer a space\, specifically for caste-privileged members of the South Asian Community and Allies from other communities to learn about\, interrogate\, and to work together to identify\, interrupt and end caste oppression in our communities\, schools\, institutions\, and most importantly\, our culture. All so that we can work to embody active Allyship with caste-oppressed communities. \nTo ensure that we are creating an intimate and accountable container for this work\, we are limiting this to a maximum of 12 participants. \nThis experience is for you if you: \n\nIdentify as someone who is caste-privileged or from the caste system and are ready to learn more about the history and impact of caste\, for the purpose of building your anti-caste practice.\nAre passionate about practicing social justice that is inclusive and intersectional\nIdentify as someone from outside of the caste systemand are working to be an Ally to those who are harmed by caste (white bodies\, Black bodies\, Indigenous bodies\, Brown bodies etc.)\n\nWe are passionate about holding healing-centred space that empowers us to build deeper equity\, inclusion\, and belonging- abundant communities and cultures. We: \n\nRecognize that we are humble students on this journey and trying to do better work today than we did yesterday.\nAre working to have better conversations today than we did yesterday.\nStrive to cultivate deeper compassion for self and others\n\nCommunity-building\, community-healing and community transformation work can only happen in community and so this is where you come in. \n\n\n\nAbout The Anti-Caste Collective\nWe are a community space dedicated to dismantling caste-based oppression through shared learning\, dialogue\, and action. Activities we organize include book clubs\, guest speakers\, community organizing\, and facilitated dialogues. \nThe intention of this collective is to create opportunities for deep reflection and meaningful discussion\, whether you’re personally impacted by caste oppression or working to become an Ally. \nOur humble aim is to serve as a platform to build solidarity\, inspire collective action\, and drive transformative change. Grounded in a posture of accountability\, the collective welcomes diverse voices and perspectives\, emphasizing education\, empathy\, and justice. \n \nThe Book\nWe welcome emergence on this journey and our initial offering will focus on the book The Trauma of Caste: A Dalit Feminist Mediation of Survivorship\, Healing and Abolition by Thenmozhi (pronounced Then-mauri) Soundararajan\, published in 2022. \nDalit American activist Thenmozhi Soundararajan\, founder of Equality Labs\, puts forth a call to awaken and act\, not just for readers in South Asia\, but all around the world. She ties Dalit oppression to fights for liberation among Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, femme\, and Queer communities\, examining caste from a feminist\, abolitionist\, and Dalit Buddhist perspective—and laying bare the grief\, trauma\, rage\, and stolen futures enacted by Brahminical patriarchy and social structures on the caste-oppressed. \n\n\n\nMeet Your Hosts and Facilitators\nL eena Sharma Seth (She/Her)\, Principal & Founder\, Mending the Chasm\nLeena is a settler who is cisgender\, heterosexual\, able-bodied\, and a child of hindu\, pnjabi (India)\, and brahmin immigrants. Leena brings a set of lived and intersectional experiences to her work as a facilitator\, strategist\, and process designer in the equity\, justice\, inclusion and belonging space. Leena’s practice is grounded in the belief that equity work is sacred and that healing\, wholeness\, and embodiment are critical to creating a just and inclusive present and future. \nWith over twenty years of experience in various leadership roles\, both in Canada and in Asia\, Leena has worked to advance equity in non-profit\, consulting\, education\, philanthropy\, and supplier diversity spaces. \nLeena has a Masters in Conflict Analysis & Management from Royal Roads\, achieved her Canadian Certified Inclusion Professional (CCIP) designation with the Canadian Centre for Diversity & Inclusion\, has received her Pride at Work certification\, completed the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation program via First Nations University\, and completed an Embodied Social Justice Certificate with Transformative Programs (led by Rev. Angel Kyodo). \nAs a part of her personal commitment to this work\, Leena has been working with fellow South Asians to examine tensions between the ways Brown bodies\, caste-privileged bodies\, and northern Indians are both privileged and impacted by systems of oppression\, and also perpetuating anti-Black racism\, and to work intentionally to disrupt anti-Black racism and to collectively heal from the harmful impacts of colonization\, patriarchy and white supremacy. \nHer work in community-building has been recognized by MP Karina Gould with the Sesquicentennial Citizenship award\, the Women’s Centre of Halton – 150 Years of Exemplary Women award\, and the 2021 Mayor’s Community Service Award\, Burlington Chamber of Commerce. \nLeena is raising two social justice warriors with her partner Sanjay and is proud to call Burlington\, Ontario home. \n \nAdeeta Aulakh (she/her)\, Associate\, Mending the Chasm\nAdeeta is a settler with West Indian and South Asian heritage\, who is cisgender\, heterosexual\, and able-bodied. Adeeta is an Occupational Therapist\, and worked clinically in the mental health field before moving to a career in local health systems planning. Her experiences as a Mental Health Therapist have developed her understanding and appreciation of the holistic nature of health and the impact of social determinants of health on individuals’ health and wellness. She brings an equity lens to her work and is dedicated to her own life long learning around equity\, trauma and healing. \nAdeeta has a Masters of Health Science in Health Administration from the University of Toronto and a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Toronto. She has completed numerous trainings to expand her clinical therapy skills and anti-oppression related training on anti-black racism\, becoming gender affirming and Indigenous cultural safety training. \nAdeeta is grateful to share space with others on their learning journey around caste\, caste oppression\, and Allyship as a facilitator of The Anti-Caste Collective series. \n\n\n\n \nSession Flow\nEach session will be two hours (2 hours) and the agenda will flow like this: \n\nWelcome & Land Acknowledgement\nCommunity Assumptions & Agreements\nEmbodiment/Somatic Practice\nOpening Reflection\nSession Theme Discussion\nClosing Reflection\n\n \nBelow is a thematic overview of each of six the sessions.\n \nSession 1\, Wednesday\, March 19th\, 7pm – 9pm: Setting the Container for our Work Together\nIn this first session\, we will spend time connecting\, co-creating guidelines for engagement (we will share Mending the Chasm’s Community Assumptions and Agreements before-hand)\, sharing our respective why’s for this journey\, and what we are working to be active commitments to in this work. \n \nSession 2\, Wednesday\, April 9th\, 7pm – 9pm: Meditation 1: The Existence of Caste\nTogether we’ll review the first section of the book and explore responses to set questions from the worksheet that Thenmozhi has so generously provided to help us better understand some of the ways we’ve each been socialized (consciously and subconsciously) around caste and the foundational stories we tell ourselves about caste and our place in the system. \n \nSession 3\, Wednesday\, April 30\, 7pm – 9pm: Meditation II: The Source of Caste\nIn this session we’ll explore the sources of caste in various faiths\, including caste pyramids from different South Asian countries\, and we’ll also explore Dalit Liberation Theology. We’ll use a set of guided questions to discuss insights that came up for each of us as we moved through this section. \n \nSession 4\, Wednesday\, May 21st\,7pm – 9pm: Meditation III: From Wounds to Liberation\nIn this session we’ll explore the impact of identities that intersect with caste\, the disproportionate impact and harm caused by caste\, and the ways caste oppression intersects with climate justice and many other movements for justice and equity. We’ll use a set of guided questions to hold space to hear from each other about the insights that came up for each of us as we read this section. \n \nSession 5\, Wednesday\, June 11th\, 7pm9pm: Meditation IV: The End of Caste and Closing the Container\nIn this session we’llmove through a set of questions to guide our discussion and consider what it means to fight for a world where choice and consent are every human’s birth right. What does it mean to end caste oppression? We’ll share reflections on the journey\, consider the ways our thinking and practice around caste have shifted\, discuss active commitments we’re making going forward\, and close our container for this shared experience. \n\n\n\nRegistration and Cost\nIf you register before February 28th\, the early bird rate for this seriesis $249 CDN. \nMarch 1st\, 2025 and on\, the cost for this series is $299.00 CDN. \n20% of every registration will go to SADAN – South Asian Dalit Adivasi Network of Canada. \nWe are committed to supporting barrier-free access to this experience\, if you would like to access a sliding scale fee\, please contact Anna at anna@mendingthechasm.ca.

SUMMARY:The Future of Medicaid in Texas — What’s at Stake?
DESCRIPTION:Join us to discuss the future of Medicaid in Texas and understand what’s on the line.\n\n\nThe U.S. House of Representatives has passed a budget resolution calling for an $880 billion reduction over 10 years\, a move that the Congressional Budget Office says is impossible without significant cuts to Medicaid and other essential health programs. As a vital source of health coverage for Americans\, including nearly 4 million Texans\, these programs play a critical role in ensuring access to care for low-income families\, children\, seniors\, and individuals with disabilities. What could these proposed cuts mean for Texas and the nation? \nJoin us for an in-depth discussion on the future of American healthcare\, featuring a national expert who will break down the potential policy changes and their broader implications. Representatives from hospitals\, clinics\, and the disability community will share insights on how these changes could affect patients and health care providers across Texas. \n \nThis Director’s office event is co-sponsored with the Baker Institute Center for Health Policy. It is free and open to the public. \n \nFollow @BakerInstitute on X and join the conversation online with #BakerLive.

SUMMARY:Socrates in the City with Senator Josh Hawley
DESCRIPTION:Socrates in the City Presents: Eric Metaxas in Conversation with Senator Josh Hawley\n\n\nNOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED! \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening with U.S. Senator Josh Hawley in Palm Beach\, Florida\, on March 21st\, as he sits down with Socrates in the City host Eric Metaxas to explore one of the most pressing cultural questions of our time: “What is Manhood?” \nIn this thought-provoking conversation\, Senator Hawley will draw from his bestselling book\, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs\, and share his insights on the crisis of masculinity in modern America. With his unique blend of intellectual rigor and cultural critique\, Hawley will examine how traditional virtues like courage\, honor\, and responsibility are essential not only for individual fulfillment but for the health of society as a whole. \nThis is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the leading voices in the national debate on family\, faith\, and the future of masculinity. Whether you’re grappling with these issues personally or simply seeking a deeper understanding of their cultural significance\, this event promises to be both inspiring and enlightening. \nDetails: \n\nDate: March 21st\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 PM Reception\, 7:00 PM Interview\, 8:30 PM VIP Dinner\nLocation: Palm Beach Atlantic University (901 S Flagler Dr\, West Palm Beach\, FL 33401)\nDinner Location: The Norton Museum (1450 S Dixie Hwy\, West Palm Beach\, FL 33401)\nHost: Eric Metaxas\, Host of Socrates in the City\n\n– —————————————————————————————————- \nGeneral Admission: Theater-style seating to watch the main event interview with Senator Josh Hawley and Eric Metaxas + a book signing afterwards! \nVIP Admission: Before the main event\, join Senator Josh Hawley and Eric Metaxas for non-alcoholic drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres. \nDinner: After the main event\, join Senator Josh Hawley and Eric Metaxas for a coursed dinner\, conversation\, and Q&A at The Norton Museum (1450 S Dixie Hwy\, West Palm Beach\, FL 33401).

Watch at socratesinthecityplus.com. \n– —————————————————————————————————- \nJosh Hawley\, born in 1980 in Springdale\, Arkansas\, is a U.S. Senator from Missouri known for his populist conservative views and advocacy for traditional family values. Before entering politics\, he graduated from Stanford University and the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar\, eventually becoming Missouri’s Attorney General in 2017. As Attorney General\, Hawley gained national attention for his aggressive stance against tech companies like Google\, positioning himself as a champion of state rights and consumer protection. In 2018\, he successfully ran for the U.S. Senate\, defeating incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill and cementing his place as a rising star in the Republican Party. \nHawley’s political philosophy is deeply influenced by his personal beliefs\, particularly those explored in his 2021 book Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs. In the book\, he critiques modern American culture for undermining traditional masculinity\, arguing that men today are facing a crisis of purpose and identity. Drawing from his Christian faith and a vision of American virtue\, Hawley calls for a return to virtues like courage\, responsibility\, and honor\, which he sees as crucial for both personal fulfillment and societal strength. Through his political career and his writing\, Hawley has emerged as a leading voice in the conservative movement\, advocating for a new vision of masculinity and the importance of strong families in rebuilding American society.
