This event features a discussion between Kannon Shanmugam (1993), Chair of the Supreme Court and Appellate Practice Group of Paul, Weiss and one of the nation’s top appellate lawyers, and Jeffrey Rosen (1986), the President and CEO of the National Constitution Center and a professor at the George Washington University Law School. The conversation will provide insight into contemporary challenges surrounding the separation of powers doctrine, analyzing these issues through both a practical and academic lens. It will address questions such as: Does increased political polarization render separation of powers a less effective check on government overreach? Do interparty divisions leave Congress less capable of reigning in the Executive when necessary? And how does recent Supreme Court jurisprudence address current separation of powers questions? The discussion will be hosted by the New England Regional Events Coordinator, Nancy Fairbank (2017).

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven most knowledge workers online. Our theme will be the myriad ramifications of this shift — from the environmental impacts of reduced travel and urban congestion, to knowledge services such as education, law, consulting, and even medicine being freed from geographic constraints. Will we see a lasting transition from an urban to a virtual work world after the pandemic, or will the pre-pandemic status quo return?

Award winning author and journalist Ted Conover (1982)

in dialogue with

Director of the Eisner Center for the Performing Arts Margot Singer (1984)

His current book, The Meritocracy Trap (Penguin Press, 2019), develops a sustained attack on American meritocracy. The meritocratic ideal—that people should get ahead based on their own accomplishments rather than their parents’ social class—has become our age’s literal common sense. Markovits argues, however, that both up and down the social ladder, meritocracy is a sham. Today, meritocracy has become exactly what it was invented to defeat—a new aristocracy, only now based on schooling rather than breeding. Upward mobility has become a fantasy, and the embattled middle class is more likely to sink into the working poor than to rise into the professional elite. At the same time, meritocracy ensnares even those who manage to claw their way to the top, trapping rich adults in a pitiless competition, which requires them to work with crushing intensity, exploiting their expensive educations in order to extract a return.

Please join our panelists as they hold a discussion around their evolving expertise on social media platforms' affect on the elections and civic engagement, the evolving role of data, disinformation shifting in its source, the problems with polling, etc.

In TO BE A MAN , her first, dazzling collection of short fiction, National Book Award Finalist and bestselling novelist Nicole Krauss plunges fearlessly into tackling age-old questions about human nature with nuance and ferocity: What does it mean to be a man?

It’s 1990. The Berlin Wall just fell. The Soviet Union is on the verge of collapse. And the soundtrack to the revolution is one of the best selling songs of all time, the metal ballad “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions.

Decades later, journalist Patrick Radden Keefe heard a rumor: the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions. It was written by the CIA. This is his journey to find the truth.

Wind of Change is an Original Series from Pineapple Street Studios, Crooked Media and Spotify.
