The genre of science fiction often serves as a warning. If we ignore the failures of these fictional societies, then we are doomed to make the same mistakes.
Written in 1909, E. M. Forster’s short story eerily predicts the events of today. It describes a world in which humans live isolated in individual rooms, connected only through video and audio calls. What does Forster’s virtual society say about our own? What lessons can we learn from the world of the Machine?

The global pandemic has forced us to not only examine what makes a good society, but what makes a good life. The pandemic has made us conscious - as if we needed any reminders - of the incredible gaps between privilege and poverty, wealth and marginalization. Social justice, or the lack thereof, has been a major factor in the way people have experienced this time. Faith leaders, religious institutions and activists moved by their spirituality have been at the forefront of confronting these inequalities and deep social fissures.
Join the July Parenting Check-in sessions on July 15 and July 29 at 1:30 via Zoom. The check-in will serve as an opportunity for Yale community parents to check-in, share tips and tricks and concerns about our new normal of being parent(s), continued work responsibilities, and now the additional responsibility of homeschooling and managing the nuances of having babies and toddlers at home instead of daycare. The conversation will be a safe space for us to positively communicate and learn and grow from each other.
Join the Yale African American Affinity Group (YAAA) for a book club discussion on The Vanishing Half: A Novel by Brit Bennett.
