Lecture on Meditation: “We all live under pressure to meld our thoughts into those of larger groups: political, identity, social media, and this can alienate us from our sense of ourselves. At the same time we get isolated in front of our screens. Meditation is a traditional way of enhancing our autonomy and stability, and of stimulating generous and charitable attitudes. It links us to wisdom of the ancients and to contemporary neuroscience.”
Lecture by Dr. Paul R. Fleischman,

Although the carillon tradition is five centuries old, women have only been full participants for about the past one hundred years. Tiffany’s research team has identified nearly 100 women active in various capacities before 1950. These trailblazing women were performing, teaching, composing, writing, and building carillons, yet they are missing from our accounts of carillon history. Tiffany’s team invites carillonists and their communities to help us change the stories we tell about the carillon to the public and to future generations.

Please join the Solomon Center for Health Law & Policy at Yale Law School for a panel discussion on increasing access to gender-affirming care. The panel will explain recent state-level attempts to restrict healthcare for trans and nonbinary patients, the scientific disinformation used to justify these laws, and the state of ongoing legal challenges to these laws’ implementation. The panel will then focus on what constitutes effective care for trans and nonbinary patients and suggest areas for policy reform to better address trans and nonbinary healthcare needs.
