Book Discussion | Jellyfish Have No Ears: Deaf Woman Contemplates Hearing


French novelist Adèle Rosenfeld's book is a deeply moving debut about the flaws of language, the fear of silence, and the power of imagination. Hearing, for Louise, is inseparable from reading other people’s lips. Through sight, she perceives words and strings them together like pearls to reconstruct a conversation. But when the string breaks, misunderstandings result and eccentric images fill her thoughts. As she weighs the prospect of surgery, fabulous characters begin to accompany her: a damaged soldier from the First World War, an irritable dog named Cirrus, and a whimsical botanist. This ethereal world, full of terror and beauty and off-kilter humor, keeps erupting into the equally chaotic reality of Louise’s life.

Talk | Election 2024: Is Everything Going to Be OK? (online)


Frances Fox Piven—political scientist, activist and, according to Glenn Beck, one of the “nine most dangerous people in the world”— analyzes the upcoming presidential election, democracy and politics today. Since 2016, American politics have produced more than a few shocks. What explains the continuing instability of American politics? What coalitions are in play to impact this upcoming contest? What are the potential consequences of the race? What role has Gaza played in the year's developments? Do we have cause for optimism? And more generally, How is American democracy faring? Why do so few Americans vote? What are the forces arrayed for and against democracy and how do we accurately gauge their relative strengths? What are the sources of democratic decline and revival? What can ordinary people do to achieve a better world? Is there a growing potential for American fascism? Frances Fox Piven, Professor Emerita of Politics at CUNY, has been among the most incisive, humane and engaged voices on the left for decades in the struggle for voter rights, welfare rights, working peoples rights and social reform. She is the co-founder of the National Welfare Rights Organization and the author of Challenging Authority: How Ordinary People Change America, Poor Peoples Movements, Regulating the Poor and Why Americans Don't Vote. She has spoken annually at SVA on social movements and electoral politics since 2016.

Talk | Green Medicine: Introductory Session


Throughout the course of history, herbal medicine has been in use as a primary source for healing, each culture having its own unique system based on the herbs of its bioregion. Over the last century or so, mainstream chemical medicine has steadily taken prominence and we have lost our ability to use herbs in a daily way for nourishment and healing. Several generations have grown up believing that herbal remedies are quaint but impotent and that pharmaceutical drugs are the only effective treatment for illness. This course is designed to give you the knowledge to be able to work with herbs to increase your vitality and the ability to treat common acute illness.
