SUMMARY:Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson on Abundance at UIC Dorin Forum
DESCRIPTION:After years of refusing to build sufficient housing\, the entire country has a national housing crisis. After years of slashing immigration\, we don’t have enough workers. The list goes on. The twenty-first century so far has been full of growing unaffordability and shortage. And in the last few decades\, our capacity to see problems has sharpened while our ability to solve them has diminished. Bestselling authors and popular podcasters Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson join Chicago Humanities to trace the political\, economic\, and cultural barriers to progress and how we can adopt a mindset directed toward abundance\, and not scarcity\, to overcome them. Drawing from their latest book\, Abundance\, they ask us to rethink big problems that seem mired in systemic scarcity: from climate change and housing to education and healthcare. \nAccessibility: Open captions and Assistive Listening Devices. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/ezra-klein-and-derek-thompson/

SUMMARY:The Listeners at Lyric Opera of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Missy Mazzoli and Royce Vavrek\, the renowned composer/librettist team\, tell the story of Claire\, who is driven nearly mad by an unending\, low-frequency hum that she hears. In desperation\, she joins a community organization\, “The Listeners\,” formed to discover the origin of the noise and destroy it. The group becomes frighteningly cult-like\, ultimately leading to catastrophic consequences. \nThis performance will have both ASL and Sound Shirts\, please visit lyricopera.org for more information. \nhttps://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2024-25/the-listeners/

SUMMARY:Kenneth Roth: Righting Wrongs at Chicago Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Kenneth Roth led Human Rights Watch for over three decades. During his leadership\, he conducted investigations in 100 countries to uncover abuses and pressured offending governments to stop them. Roth joins Chicago Humanities to share his ongoing fight to take on the biggest villains and toughest autocrats around the world and how he persuaded leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts. He has traveled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf: from the Rwandan Genocide and Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait to Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians\, the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghur Muslims\, Russian war crimes in Ukraine\, and more. Grappling with the worst of humanity\, Roth tells us the story of wins\, losses\, and ongoing battles in the fight against injustice. \nSupport the work of Human Rights Watch by attending or donating to their annual benefit on April 10\, 2025. \nThis event will include open captions and assistive listening devices.
