SUMMARY:Arthur Kleinman
DESCRIPTION:The Department of History\, Anthropology\, and Social Medicine at UCSF in conjunction with City Lights Booksellers and Viking Books present \nArthur Kleinman \ndiscussing the subject of his new book \nThe Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a Doctor \nfrom Viking Books \nA moving memoir and an extraordinary love story that shows how an expert physician became a family caregiver and learned why care is so central to all our lives and yet is at risk in today’s world. \nWhen Dr. Arthur Kleinman\, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist\, began caring for his wife\, Joan\, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease\, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine. In The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a Doctor\, Kleinman delivers a deeply humane and inspiring story of his life in medicine and his marriage to Joan\, and he describes the practical\, emotional and moral aspects of caretaking. He also writes about the problems our society faces as medical technology advances and the cost of health care soars but caring for patients no longer seems important. \nCaregiving is long\, hard\, unglamorous work–at moments joyous\, more often tedious\, sometimes agonizing\, but it is always rich in meaning. In the face of our current political indifference and the challenge to the health care system\, he emphasizes how we must ask uncomfortable questions of ourselves\, and of our doctors. To give care\, to be “present” for someone who needs us\, and to feel and show kindness are deep emotional and moral experiences\, enactments of our core values. The practice of caregiving teaches us what is most important in life\, and reveals the very heart of what it is to be human. \n\nArthur Kleinman\, MD\, is one of the most renowned and influential scholars and writers on psychiatry\, anthropology\, global health\, and cultural issues in medicine. Educated at Stanford University and Stanford Medical School\, he has taught at Harvard for over forty years. He is currently professor of psychiatry and of medical anthropology at Harvard Medical School and Esther and Sidney Rabb Professor of Anthropology in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Having spent decades doing field research in China and Taiwan\, he is also a leading expert on East Asia\, and was the Victor and William Fung Director of Harvard’s Asia Center from 2008 to 2016. He is also the author of The Illness Narratives: Suffering\, Healing\, and the Human Condition\, now widely taught in medical schools. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:My Life\, My Stories / Intergenerational Conversations: Dating & Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an evening of conversations and stories! The theme will be around “relationships and dating through the years”. We are inviting younger and older folks to share their own experiences and thoughts. \nTopics will range from finding dates to choosing date spots to breaking up. Over the decades\, how do you or did you go about finding dates? Has it become easier to have so many choices through your phone? Date spots and activities always elicit strong reactions. Which ones did you enjoy most? Breakups have never been easy but has it become too impersonal in the era of texting? Was “ghosting” a thing back then? \nRegardless of all these technological and societal changes\, are we all continuing to approach relationships similarly to years past? \nWe will have a few older adults share their personal stories and we will split into small pairs of young people and older adults to discover and answer questions about relationships. \nFree liquid courage will be provided! Let’s have fun and get to know people of different ages in our community. \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Danielle Svetcov: Parked
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held at our 9th Ave. location. \nDanielle Svetcov discusses her new book\, Parked. \nPraise for Parked \n“A big-hearted novel with characters I wish were my friends in real life.” –Gennifer Choldenko\, author of the Al Capone at Alcatraz series \n“Danielle Svetcov has written a novel that’s utterly of this moment. It’s a book about generosity—not just toward others\, but toward oneself. Parked is a reminder that we don’t have to feel alone in the world\, because we’re not.”—Jack Cheng\, Golden Kite Award-winning author of See You in the Cosmos \n“An absorbing and warm-hearted read that explores what happens when homelessness and helpfulness collide. Readers will be transported while parked. —Annie Barrows\, author of the Ivy & Bean series \nAbout Parked \nJeanne Ann is smart\, stubborn\, living in an orange van\, and determined to find a permanent address before the start of seventh grade. \nCal is tall\, sensitive\, living in a humongous house across the street\, and determined to save her. \nJeanne Ann is roughly as enthusiastic about his help as she is about living in a van. \nAs the two form a tentative friendship that grows deeper over alternating chapters\, they’re buoyed by a cast of complex\, oddball characters\, who let them down\, lift them up\, and leave you cheering. Debut novelist Danielle Svetcov shines a light on a big problem without a ready answer\, nailing heartbreak and hope\, and pulling it off with a humor and warmth that make the funny parts of Jeanne Ann and Cal’s story cathartic and the difficult parts all the more moving.
