SUMMARY:Under Attack: The State of Democracy Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the May Ideas Forum on May 14 at 7 pm (CST) via Zoom. \nThis event is free\, but please register. \nIs the world’s democratic moment coming to an end? What does the future of democracy hold? Join us for our May Ideas Forum featuring Dr. William Muck\, Professor of Political Science at North Central College. \nProfessor Muck will explore global trends in democracy\, highlighting data showing that in every region of the world\, democracy finds itself under attack. He will explore the implications of this democratic decline and focus specifically on the case of American democracy. How do you know when your democracy is in danger\, and how should you respond? He will also reflect on the dramatic actions taken by the Trump administration and offer thoughts on how they fit within this broader anti-democratic moment. \n\nWilliam Muck is the chair of the Political Science Department and the coordinator for the College’s Global Studies program. He teaches a variety of courses on international politics and foreign policy. His scholarship focuses on international security\, the practice of military intervention\, and the pedagogy of promoting civic engagement. \nHe has been active in presenting research at various international studies conferences around the world. In 2018\, Bill was named a Ruge Fellow by North Central College for his contributions to teaching and learning on campus. He is co-author of the book Technology and Civic Engagement in the College Classroom and other articles on international security and higher education pedagogy. \n\nIf you are in the Chicago area\, you may have seen Bill offering political analysis on ABC 7\, CBS Chicago\, Fox 32 Chicago\, or WGN Evening News. He is also a regular guest host for WCPT 820am radio and his weekly podcast\, The Politics Lab.

SUMMARY:May Book Club - Friday: Rough Sleepers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our May book club meeting on Friday 16th\, at 12:30pm. \nAuthor: Tracy Kidder \nFrom GoodReads: \nWhen Jim O’Connell graduated from Harvard Medical School and was nearing the end of his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital\, the chief of medicine made a proposal: Would he defer a prestigious fellowship and spend a year helping to create an organization to bring health care to homeless citizens? Jim took the job because he felt he couldn’t refuse. But that year turned into his life’s calling. Tracy Kidder spent five years following Dr. O’Connell and his colleagues as they served their thousands of homeless patients. In this book\, we travel with O’Connell as he navigates the city\, offering medical care\, socks\, soup\, empathy\, humor\, and friendship to some of the city’s most vulnerable citizens. He emphasizes a style of medicine in which patients come first\, joined with their providers in what he calls “a system of friends.”
