SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Amanda Little: "The Fate of Food: What We’ll Eat In A Bigger\, Hotter\, Smarter World"
DESCRIPTION:Amanda will share insights from her book The Fate of Food: What We’ll Eat in a Bigger\, Hotter\, Smarter World\, a five-year adventure into lands\, minds and machines shaping the future of sustainable food. Climate models show that global crop production will decline every decade for the rest of this century due to drought\, heat\, and flooding. Water supplies are in jeopardy. Meanwhile\, the world’s population is expected to grow another 30 percent by midcentury. Little will explore both traditional and high-tech approaches to food production and chart the growth of a movement that could redefine sustainable food on a grand scale. \nAmanda Little is a professor of journalism and science writing at Vanderbilt University. She’s the author of The Fate of Food: What We’ll Eat in a Bigger\, Hotter\, Smarter World\, released June 2019. Little’s first book was Power Trip: The Story of America’s Love Affair with Energy. Little has written about food\, energy\, the environment and technology for publications including the New York Times\, Washington Post\, The New Yorker\, Bloomberg\, Wired\, and Rolling Stone. She has interviewed figures ranging from Barack Obama to Lindsey Graham. \nShared Charity: Fisk University Scholarship Fund \nPresider: Pat Debrovner \nFREE and open to the public. \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate\, stimulate personal growth\, inspire reflection and action\, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings usually begin with music\, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader\, member\, or guest.  Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events\, pressing social issues\, and Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit the Ethical NYC YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Young Ethical Explorers: "Hi-Story" Social Justice Festival
DESCRIPTION:Come one\, come all! Songs\, Crafts\, Speeches\, and our own Peace March celebrate real-life helpers and deeds that have contributed to balance\, equality\, and fairness in our world. \nThis festival commemorates Claudette Colvin Day. On March 3\, 1955\, Claudette\, a 15-year-old African American girl\, emboldened by the lessons of black history\, was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery\, Alabama. Claudette says\, “I felt like Sojourner Truth was pushing down on one shoulder and Harriet Tubman on the other.” \nClaudette was asked by Rosa Parks\, leader of the NAACP youth group\, to present her story to other young people to inspire them toward activism. In December of that year\, Rosa Parks herself refused to stand up on that same Montgomery bus line and for that is credited with spawning the Civil Rights Movement. \nWhile Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was called in to lead the bus boycott that ensued\, young lawyer Fred Gray brought the issue of segregation on Montgomery’s buses to the Supreme Court with the testimonies of four African American women. The home-run hitter of the case\, Browder vs. Gayle\, at the Supreme Court was Claudette Colvin\, leading to the victory\, in November of 1956\, of racial integration on public transportation in Alabama. \nThis month’s theme: Mindful March. We will delve into the healing lemniscate linking earth and self. \n\nYoung Ethical Explorers is our Humanist Sunday school\, designed for youngsters from ages 4 to 13\, and takes place concurrent with our Sunday Platform meetings. Sessions raise issues of personal identity and integrity\, appreciation and respect for others\, and knowledge of religions\, philosophies\, and social concerns. Topics are explored in an age-appropriate way through discussion\, storytelling\, dramatization\, music\, art\, games\, and field trips. \nRSVP is essential to guarantee your place and for planning purposes.

SUMMARY:Stoa Nova: Seneca's "On the Firmness of the Wise Man"
DESCRIPTION:On the Firmness of the Wise Man is one of Seneca’s classics on a very peculiar topic in Stoicism: the nature of the wise person\, or sage. Do sages exist? Or are they only idealizations? Can we aspire to becoming sages? If not\, what’s the point of talking about them? (Hint: there is a point…) \nSuggested reading: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/On_the_Firmness_of_the_Wise_Man\n(This is the full text of Seneca’s essay\, definitely helpful to read before coming to the discussion.) \nFREE for members. $5 for non-members. \n\nHosted by philosopher Massimo Pigliucci\, Stoa Nova is inspired (with a bit of immodesty) to the ancient Greco-Roman schools of philosophy. Plato\, Aristotle\, Epicurus\, Epictetus and many others simply gave lectures about their favorite topics and engaged in Socratic discussions with people interested in what they had to say. In our case\, we will examine the theory and practice of Stoicism as a modern applied philosophy that aids us in navigating a world in some ways just as confusing and uncertain as that of ancient Athens and Rome.

SUMMARY:Great Literature Discussion Group - Awaiting Trespass: A Passion by Linda Ty-Casper
DESCRIPTION:Ty-Casper recounts the breaching of the walls around the private lives of an affluent Filipino family responding to the reality of suffering and injustice in their native land — using the surreal as well as the poetic to satirize and criticize contemporary Philippine society. \nThe death of family patriarch Don Severino Gil brings together the entire Gil clan. Through the eyes of Gil’s favorite niece\, Telly\, we see the family struggle to maintain a facade of order and decorum amid the decay of martial law. She experiences a kind of rebirth\, resolving as a writer to struggle against the injustice of her nation. \nLiterary works will be discussed based on what can be found in the text in order to enrich each other’s interpretation of the novel/novella. All are welcome to join and any edition or translation of the book under discussion can be used. \nRead the novella in advance and be prepared to discuss the aspects of interest to you by referring to specific related text and reading it to the group. Moderated by Ethical NYC member Gunther Tielemans. \nMonthly\, 1st Wednesday\nMembers Free\, Guests $5
