SUMMARY:Kristen Ghodsee: 'Rethinking Community: Secular and Spiritual Perspectives'
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nFor millennia\, people from different ethnic\, religious\, and cultural traditions have resided together in nonconsanguineous extended households. Whether these were small groups sharing tribal longhouses; celibate\, pious\, and ascetic cenobites settled in monasteries\, convents\, or beguinages; or secularists fully engaged with the world and living in colleges\, phalansteries\, or planned microdistricts\, many of our ancestors rejected the isolation of the individual dwelling shared only with a handful of one’s blood-related or legally recognized kin. Our architectural options today reflect a specific set of choices about the ideal habitat for human flourishing\, choices often born of our past attachments to patrilineal and patrilocal traditions. How might we live differently? \nThat we are utopians is well known. So utopian are we that we go the length of believing that the revolution can and ought to assure shelter\, food and clothes to all.\n-Pyotr Kropotkin\, 1892 \nKristen R. Ghodsee is a Professor of Russian and East European Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and the critically acclaimed author of Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence\, which has been translated into fifteen languages. Her writing has been published in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The New Republic\, Le Monde Diplomatique\, and Jacobin\, among other outlets\, and she’s appeared on PBS NewsHour and France 24 as well as on dozens of podcasts\, including NPR’s Throughline\, New York magazine’s The Cut\, and the New York Times’s Ezra Klein Show. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nPresider: Leader Nori Rost \nWeekly Collection: Foundation for Intentional Community \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination is required.

SUMMARY:Climate and Energy Game Night with City Atlas
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Philip Lindsay and Forrest Sparks (facilitator and designer)\, and the City Atlas network. \nJoin us June 14\, July 12\, and August 16! \nClick here to RSVP on Eventbrite! \nThe goal of these sessions is to provide a consistent time and place where the public can come to learn and play collaborative climate/environmental and energy games.  We’ll primarily play Energetic\, but also the upcoming Daybreak\, and the recently released “Climate Fresk.” We will likely also play games that deal with governance/politics. \nIf we are to confront the climate crisis at scale\, we will need to collaborate and coordinate across fields\, neighborhoods\, cultures and industries. A serious energy transition demands such coordination (that’s what Energetic the game teaches us). Collaborative games and policy making forums (such as deliberative citizens’ assemblies) point the way forward to enable us to do this at scale. They orient participants towards longterm goals and enable them to work through scenarios of the coming decades\, in order to discuss what policies will be most efficient and successful at reducing emissions while maintaining public support. \nAbout the Hosts \nPhilip Lindsay grew up in Philadelphia and lives in Sunset Park\, Brooklyn. He leads the Democracy Innovation Hub (DIH) at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. In July of 2022\, the Hub hosted “Citizens’ Assemblies: A Workshop to Revitalize Democracy\,” which brought together over 50 public servants\, elected officials\, and community advocates. This led to the implementation of three deliberative budgeting processes in NYC government in 2023. Philip also co-taught the course “Democratic Innovation and Citizen Lotteries: from Ancient Athens to the French Climate Assembly.” The Hub also hosted the “Doing Democracy Differently Teacher Fellowship” which trains high school teachers on how to bring deliberative democracy into the classroom. \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination required. Masks optional but strongly encouraged.
