SUMMARY:Virtual - For the Love of Mars: A Human History of the Red Planet with Smithsonian Curator Matt Shin
DESCRIPTION:Mars and its secrets have fascinated and mystified humans since ancient times. Due to its vivid color and visibility\, geologic kinship with Earth\, and potential as our best hope for settlement\, Mars embodies everything that inspires us about space and exploration. For the Love of Mars surveys the red planet’s place in the human imagination\, beginning with ancient astrologers and skywatchers and ending in our present moment of exploration and virtual engagement. \nRegister HERE. \nYou’re invited to come learn alongside Matt Shindell\, National Air and Space Museum curator\, as he introduces viewers to historical figures across eras and around the world who have made sense of this mysterious planet. Shindell will highlight historical figures such as: \n\nMayan astrologer priests who incorporated Mars into seasonal calendars and religious ceremonies;\nBabylonian astrologers who discerned bad omens;\nfigures of the Scientific Revolution who struggled to comprehend it as a world;\nVictorian astronomers who sought signs of intelligent life;\nand 20th- and 21st-century scientists who have established a technological presence on its surface.\n\nAlong the way\, we will encounter writers and artists from each period who take readers and viewers on imagined journeys to Mars. \nBy focusing on the diverse human stories behind the telescopes and behind the robots we know and love\, Shindell will show how Mars exploration has evolved in ways that have also expanded knowledge about other facets of the universe. Register now for this captivating voyage through time!

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Concepts of Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Frieda Afary is an Iranian American public librarian based in Los Angeles\, a translator\, and author of Socialist Feminism: A New Approach (Pluto Press\, 2022). \n“Woman\, Life\, Freedom” became the slogan of the woman-led uprising that started in Iran in September 2022 after the state police beating and murder of a young Kurdish woman for not wearing her hijab “correctly.” This slogan raises important questions not only for Iran but also for those in the United States and around the world who are concerned about women’s rights and human rights. \nThis presentation will discuss the ways in which many Iranians are thinking about the concepts of woman\, life and freedom today. It will also explore some ways in which these concepts have been addressed by contemporary feminist thinkers and eighteenth\, nineteenth and twentieth century philosophers. Comparing and contrasting these views can help shed light on key issues in today’s debates on gender\, reproductive rights\, individual rights and social responsibility.

SUMMARY:Rethinking the Concepts of Woman\, Life\, Freedom: Iran and the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Frieda Afary is an Iranian American public librarian based in Los Angeles\, a translator\, and author of Socialist Feminism: A New Approach (Pluto Press\, 2022). \n“Woman\, Life\, Freedom” became the slogan of the woman-led uprising that started in Iran in September 2022 after the state police beating and murder of a young Kurdish woman for not wearing her hijab “correctly.” This slogan raises important questions not only for Iran but also for those in the United States and around the world who are concerned about women’s rights and human rights. \nThis presentation will discuss the ways in which many Iranians are thinking about the concepts of woman\, life and freedom today. It will also explore some ways in which these concepts have been addressed by contemporary feminist thinkers and eighteenth\, nineteenth and twentieth century philosophers. Comparing and contrasting these views can help shed light on key issues in today’s debates on gender\, reproductive rights\, individual rights and social responsibility.
