- In March of 1969, eleven months before his untimely death, the pioneering Boston poet Stephen Jonas made a recording for the Woodberry Poetry Room. One of the only extant recordings of Jonas, the (now digitized) reels contain numerous selections from the poet’s seminal book, EXERCISES FOR EAR, as well as other inimitable poems. In this program, poet, novelist, and editor Joseph Torra helps to contextualize and amplify EXERCISES FOR EAR as well as Jonas' great long poem “Love, the Poem, the Sea, and Other Pieces Examined by Me” (1955), interspersed with audio clips from the WPR recording---as well as insights from the audience (which included Gerrit Lansing and Raffael De Gruttola).

- Description
- Health care has emerged as a hotly debated issue of the 2016 presidential election, with the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees expressing starkly different views on the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While approximately 20 million people have gained healthcare coverage since the law’s passage, implementation has been marred by setbacks, including the withdrawal of some major insurers from the ACA marketplace. A new poll by POLITICO and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows deep ideological divides between the parties about the healthcare law, with a majority of voters saying they believe the law is failing. In addition, a recent announcement that healthcare premiums for some ACA plans will increase 25 percent on average next year has fed political debate. In this Forum event, expert panelists discussed the implications of the possible outcomes of the 2016 election.

- Righting the Record: Conservatism and the Archives
A Schlesinger Library Event
Over the past half-century, grassroots activists and organizations both left and right have focused on women’s roles, family values, homosexuality, and reproductive policy, transforming modern American life. Yet the collections of major public repositories, especially those housed at universities, tend to document only one side of this complicated history: the left side. The Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study hosted a conversation among scholars, intellectuals, and activists to explore the consequences of the current situation and examine possible solutions. “Righting the Record” is part of the library’s multifaceted approach to enhancing the diversity of the documentary record, to ensure that students, researchers, and scholars can write more complete and balanced histories of our times.

- More than 100 million Americans struggle with chronic pain, according to one Institute of Medicine estimate, at an annual cost of as much as $635 billion in treatment and lost productivity. Further, the misuse of potent opioid painkillers, while increasing risk of addiction and abuse, can confuse the conversation around appropriate chronic pain management. This Forum brought together a panel of experts to discuss the causes, treatment and impact of chronic pain, exploring the neuroscience behind the pain experience. The panelists examined how clinicians can best serve their patients, highlighting the recommendations of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ recent National Pain Strategy. The Forum also looked at myriad pain management options, including marijuana and mindfulness meditation. And panelists examined relevant pain care policies, including prescription monitoring program regulations, drug development and funding for research.

- According to the CDC, nearly 29 million U.S. women and 16 million U.S. men have experienced severe physical violence by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime. Most of those experiences occur before the age of twenty-five. The evidence is clear that domestic violence takes a physical and emotional toll on individuals, families and communities. Those exposed both directly and indirectly are at a greater risk of mental health disorders, infectious and chronic diseases and death. And the global annual cost in lost productivity, health care, and law enforcement is estimated to be in the trillions. This Forum event, held during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, explored the many dimensions of domestic violence, the need for evidence-based prevention strategies and the role that the public and private sectors need to play to shift the conversation from intervention to preventive action.

- How to Elect More Women: Gender and Candidate Success in a Field Experiment
- Runtime

- Description
- Women are dramatically underrepresented in legislative bodies (supply), and most scholars agree that the greatest limiting factor is the lack of female candidates. However, voters’ subconscious biases (demand) may also play a role, particularly among conservatives. In this seminar, Jessica Preece discusses her findings from a field experiment conducted in partnership with a state Republican Party. She finds that party leaders’ efforts to increase both supply and demand (especially both together) result in a greater number of women elected as delegates to the statewide nominating convention. Her field experiment shows that simple interventions from party leaders can influence the behavior of candidates and voters, which ultimately leads to a substantial increase in women’s electoral success.

- Description: Quality child care can help children develop lasting social, emotional, and learning skills and can promote healthy eating and play. But high-quality care, whether it comes from a nanny, a sitter, a daycare, or a preschool, can be difficult to find—and to afford. Drawing on the findings of a newly released poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, this Forum event brought together a panel of experts to discuss parents’ priorities and perceptions about their children’s care and how they square up against expert assessments of child care quality. How do parents find and select child care, and how does that care impact the health and well-being of children and families? How can child care be made accessible, high-quality and affordable?

- Description
- As part of the 2016–2017 Fellows’ Presentation Series at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Carol J. Oja ’17 presents “Marian Anderson and the Desegregation of the American Concert Stage.” Hailed as one of the greatest singers of the 20th century, Marian Anderson used her talent and celebrity to advance civil rights. Her 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial defied a ban excluding African American performers from Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, and her 1955 debut at the Metropolitan Opera ended the Met’s exclusion of African American singers in starring roles. In this lecture—which includes audio and video of Anderson in performance—Oja repositions those landmarks as part of the little-discussed history of institutional segregation in the classical music business.

- Description
- As part of the 2016–2017 Fellows’ Presentation Series at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Alyssa A. Goodman ’17 takes us through the creation of the most modular HarvardX online course yet created, called PredictionX. People have been asking questions about the future both on a global scale and a personal one since the beginning of recorded history. Goodman explores this history of how humanity has predicted its own future, from ancient Mesopotamians reading signs in sheep entrails to modern computer simulations of climate change.
Alyssa A. Goodman is the 2016–2017 Edward, Frances, and Shirley B. Daniels Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and the Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Applied Astronomy at Harvard University.
