SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Todd Gitlin: The Future of Disinformation (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Of these things we can be sure: Disinformation flourishes. Its channels multiply. There is a large bloc of Americans who find comfort in it\, because it preserves their sense of being an embattled but triumphant community. It is not by itself the cause of our political nightmare\, but it worsens everything. Individuals cannot overcome it by themselves. The forces that sustain it are built in to American politics. It can be defeated but it will not go away on its own. \nTodd Gitlin\, an American writer\, sociologist\, communications scholar\, novelist\, poet\, and not very private intellectual\, is professor of journalism and sociology and chair of the Ph.D. program in Communications at Columbia University.

SUMMARY:Proactive Meditation and Deep Listening (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Led by our own Larry Hurst — When we meditate proactively\, we allow our breath and physical support to help us sense into how we are in each moment. We take time to note whether there is something there that is more than a fleeting distraction and seems to be calling for our particular attention. We listen\, deeply and empathically\, allowing ourselves to follow whatever door opens. This experientially focused way of meditating can help to take us through often stuck places and onto a fresh path within ourselves and in our connections. \nClick here to join at the start time! – Meeting ID 384-422-5692 \nNo computer or smartphone?

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Classics Behind Bars…and Beyond: The Odyssey
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to forgive someone who has committed crimes? What is our relationship to the way our society handles Justice and Incarceration? Where do our ethics come from? \nRSVP will open soon!\nJoin us as Rutgers Professor of Classics Emily Allen-Hornblower\, The Resident Acting Company\, and mass incarceration survivor Marquis McCray visit Ethical NYC to explore Homer’s Odyssey\, and how it resonates within the lives of those in our society who spent time in the prison system. We’ll dive deep into the poem with actor Joe Goodkin\, followed by a post-show discussion with Joe\, Professor Allen-Hornblower\, and Mr. McCray\, who will speak about how the Odyssey and the classics changed his life. \nAbout the Whiting Foundation Public Engagement Seed Grant:\nThe Public Face of Emotions: Greek Classics and the Role of Emotions in our Lives \nProfessor Emily Allen-Hornblower is moderating a series of public conversations with formerly incarcerated men and women concerning ancient Greek philosophy and literature. Each session is centered on a single emotion\, such as shame\, fear\, or anger. The events will begin with a brief reading from Aristotle and a short performance of an excerpt from Greek tragedy to ground the moderated discussion to follow\, about the role the emotions can or should play in our lives. These communal conversations will give the formerly incarcerated speakers\, the actors\, and the audience an opportunity to engage in a dialogue regarding the interconnectedness between all of us that storytelling and literature bring to light. \nThe Daily Targum: Prisoners Study Classics with Rutgers Professor\nHuffington Post: The Iliad is Doing Hard Time and the Inmates Love It\nRutgers: Emily Allen-Hornblower’s Teachings on Tragic Heroes Resonate With Inmates\nRutgers: For Innovative Teaching in NJ Prisons\, RU Classics Prof Wins Chancellor’s Award \nAbout The Resident Acting Company: \nWe believe theatre engages best with audiences when it is created by artists experienced in working together. We are dedicated to producing a repertory\, strongly rooted in the classics\, which reflects\, enlightens\, and informs our contemporary life. Visit our website at racnyc.org.
