SUMMARY:Food For Thought: The U.S. Supreme Court - Crisis of Legitimacy?
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Supreme Court currently displays historic levels of public disapproval. The Court also sits in the center of the current battle by the Trump administration to reshape our separation of powers system. Have we reached a tipping point for our political institutions generally\, and for the Court specifically? I will discuss contemporary findings by researchers and the implications for such on the Court’s institutional legitimacy.  \n\n\n\nNicholas Conway is an Associate Professor of Political Science at San Francisco State University and an Adjunct Professor of Law at University of California Law-San Francisco. His research includes the U.S. Supreme Court and public opinion\, constitutional litigation\, media attention to judicial decisions\, and political methodology. \n\n\n\nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:P2P (Peer to Peer): The Incomparable George Gershwin

SUMMARY:Food for Thought: Climate Change in an Aging Society
DESCRIPTION:Climate Change in an Aging Society shows ways in which elderly people are high on the scale of victims of extreme weather events: wildfire\, flood\, drought\, and heat. Why do people feel both helpless and hopeless? Why is it that public policy\, at all levels\, does not support resilience? How do we escape passivity and pessimism? It’s not too late and you’re not too old! There are specific actions that individuals – not government policy alone – can do to protect ourselves and safeguard future generations: (1) becoming a climate conscious consumer; (2) investment for a green retirement; and (3) citizen climate action. \nHarry R. Moody is former Vice President and Director of Academic Affairs at AARP Washington and is currently the editor of the popular Human Values in Aging monthly newsletter. In 2011\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society on Aging\, and in 2008 he was named by Utne Reader Magazine as one of “50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Your World.” He is the author of Ethics in an Aging Society (1992)\, Abundance of Life: Human Development Policies for an Aging Society (1988)\, and over 100 scholarly articles. He also is the co-author of several other books related to aging. \n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 19th \nTime: 2:00 – 3:00 PM \nLocation: Board Room \nCost: Free | Open to the public
