Midday Musical Moments
施坦威艺术家许兴艾
with Steinway Artist Hsing-ay Hsu
Join us as pianist Hsing-ay Hsu (Yale School of Music ‘01) leads musical webinars every Thursday from May 27 through July 29.
In our present day of medical, social, economic, and racial distress, creativity in music offers us a path forward. Music offers a general gentle approach to the topic of multi-dimensional awareness, which provides a crucial foundational step towards empathy.

Thursdays at 12:00 pm ET

This event is presented by the Parrhesia Program for Public Discourse and the Chicago Center on Democracy at the University of Chicago. Over the past few years, there has been much debate about the tensions between protecting free speech and creating an inclusive environment on university campuses. There are many interesting and unresolved questions in this area, such as:

What is the role of “civility” in conversations on campus? Are calls for civility a weapon used by those who wish to silence certain voices, or is civility a necessary condition for productive discussion?

Often when we discuss the development of chemicals and substances, the conversation usually focuses on how scientists and inventors synthesized them. In this talk, materials scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez will highlight how simple materials and the inventions they enabled shaped society. Based on her new book The Alchemy of Us, she will show how everyday inventions had a hand in fashioning language, politics, and even our bodies.
