https://www.thejerusalemfund.org/24868/summer-2019-film-series-personal-affairs-by-maha-haj-2.
Film
is one of the most powerful artistic and educational mediums of our times. It
is both a tool of personal expression and a screen for reflection of social and
historical issues, as it carries culturally specific and universal themes. Its
usefulness in expressing and educating others about the Palestinian issue
remains hugely significant in our present day, and for this reason, The
Jerusalem Fund runs a seasonal film series throughout the year. All these films
attest to the vibrancy of a Palestinian cinema despite the statelessness and
sometimes simultaneous dual nationalities of its filmmakers. This series
if free and open to the public. It is co-sponsored by the Center for
Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University. See https://www.facebook.com/events/646409542446760/?event_time_id=646409555780092.

– On
Tues., June 11 from 6:30 to 9 PM, Profs & Pints is hosting The Truth About “Alternative
Facts” at La Pop DC, 1847 Columbia Road NW, WDC 20009. Tickets are at
profspintspolarization.brownpapertickets.com. This is a look at the
causes and political consequences of our becoming one nation with two
realities, with David Barker, director of American University’s Center for
Congressional and Presidential Studies. The deep divides that define politics
in the United States are no longer just about differences in policy preference
or culture. Americans these days can’t even agree on basic questions of fact.
Is climate change real? Does racism still determine who gets ahead? Is sexual
orientation innate? Do immigration and free trade help the economy or hurt it?
Does gun control reduce violence? Our answers to these questions often reflect
our ideological bias far more than anything else.
David
Barker, a professor of Government who previously gave an illuminating Profs and
Pints talk on Congressional gridlock, returns to the stage to share findings
from the 20 years of research that went into his new book One Nation, Two
Realities: Dueling Facts in American Democracy. He’ll be sharing a number of
enlightening and provocative conclusions that challenge the idea that reform is
possible any time soon. It’s a talk that will give you a new perspective
on both recent elections and the 2020 elections that we’re gearing up for now.
You’ll approach the political problems of our day with more sophistication.
Advance tickets are $12, while at the door, $15. Save $2 with a student ID.
