Today is our first in an upcoming series of interviews with the ladies of the Independent Women's Forum. On July 1, 2023 Cheryl was inducted as a Visiting Fellow at the IWF, and we want to use this Series to introduce you all to the important and varied work that the IWF does. Our guest today is Michele Steeb. Michele is the author of "Answers Behind The RED DOOR: Battling the Homeless Epidemic" In 2006, Michele joined a struggling shelter for homeless women and children and transformed it into one of the nation's beacons of success by actively addressing and overcoming the root causes of their homelessness. Her written work has been published in the Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, and the New York Post. And now Michele is an Independent Women's Forum Visiting Fellow. 1) Talk to us about how tackling the Homelessness issue became a passion for you? 2) You wrote a book on homelessness, called Answers Behind the Red Door: Battling the Homeless Epidemic. What is the meaning behind the title, and what led you to write it? 3) Your book talks a lot about the underlying issues of homelessness. What does this mean? What are they? -The nexus between our issues is freedom and what happens to people when we restrict it. Homelessness policy under a sweeping change instituted by the Obama Administration straightjackets the homeless in dependency. The org Michele built and her life's work since is about creating policy that liberates the homeless to become all they are designed to be. 4) In the last decade, homelessness has become a major issue for our country. Do you agree, and if so, why? 5) Why has California been particularly hard hit? 6) Portland and Seattle, in addition to San Francisco and Los Angeles, also seem to be overwhelmed by these issues. Why? 7) I have seen mixed reports on homelessness among families. HUD often reports that it is going down, but I see other articles referencing a stark rise in family homelessness. Why? 8) What do you hope to accomplish during your Visiting Fellowship with IWF?

Speaker: Professor Alberto Saiz Garitaonandia (University of the Basque Country) Among some other problems, due to court congestion and case backlog, many judicial systems are seen as slow and unable to offer a response to the citizen´s demands in a reasonable time. The limitations and restrictions implemented by the different governments during the Covid 19 pandemic crisis have exacerbated the previous concern, but at the same time has shown how new technologies, such as videoconferencing, can be introduced and play an important role in the traditionally conservative area of Justice. In this context, the rapid improvement of the artificial intelligence (AI) in the last few years and its extensive use in some transcendent spheres of our lives makes us wonder how we could integrate such a technology in the area of justice, supporting or, even more, substituting a judge. In fact, a certain amount of studies using machine learning has achieved a significant level of accuracy predicting judicial outcomes. However, problems such as bias and lack of transparency may limit the deployment of AI in the judiciary. In any case, if it wants to preserve its legitimacy the judiciary must adapt itself to the new times and technologies used by the society it is serving. As some commentators have stated, we should not see the court as a place, but as a service that may be provided in different ways. About the speaker: Alberto Saiz Garitaonandia is currently a Professor of Procedural Law at the University of the Basque Country. Prof. Saiz Garitaonandia served as Director of the Basque Government Legal Department - Solicitor General (2013-2020). He was awarded a Visiting Fellowship in Clare Hall College at the University of Cambridge for the academic year 2021-2022 where, invited by the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law (3CL), he is researching in the area of artificial intelligence applied to dispute resolution. He has been Visiting Professor and Researcher at Stanford University, Georgetown University, American University, Florida International University and University of Nevada (USA).

“What is it that a woman recognizes when she recognizes herself in another woman? This is the question that hovers in the margins of all three books in Léger's exquisite trilogy,” Eula Biss wrote of Léger's work in the New Yorker. “The books are extraordinary in the way they are written,” Biss adds. “Léger's sentences give the impression that they are doing exactly what they want to do. Her paragraphs are not dutiful, not in service to the previous or following paragraphs, but exhilaratingly independent…The essay, already a flexible genre, is at its most gymnastic here, as Léger passes through the many postures of a complex floor routine to produce one fluid, circuitous movement of thought. Her style, unconventional as it is, does not feel contrived. It feels inevitable—as if these books sprang from her mind fully formed, like Athena, born of a splitting headache.” Nathalie Léger Nathalie Léger is the author of several short experimental novels based on her research work as a curator, as well as a volume of illustrated, aphoristic flash-fiction, published under a pseudonym. The director of the Institut Mémoires de l'édition contemporaine (IMEC), which gathers archives and studies related to the main French publishing houses, she lives and works in Paris and in Caen. She curated two Pompidou Centre exhibitions on Roland Barthes and on Samuel Beckett in 2002 and 2007. Eula Biss The author of four books, Eula Biss holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa and has been teaching at Northwestern University for fifteen years. Her work has been translated into over ten languages and has been recognized by a Guggenheim Fellowship, among many other prizes. Her essays and poems have appeared in the New Yorker, the Guardian, Harper's, and the New York Times Magazine, among other publications. Biss was the Library's Visiting Fellow from 2020-21. The Visiting Fellowship is generously supported by the The de Groot Foundation. The discussion is co-sponsored by Dorothy, a publishing project, which is an award-winning feminist press dedicated to works of fiction or near fiction or about fiction, based in St. Louis, USA. North American readers can purchase the books discussed in this event through Dorothy's website. In the UK and Europe, these books are available through the UK publisher Les Fugitives.

What is limited, valuable, and scarce? Attention. As society as a whole tries to navigate the new terrain where attention is the commodity supporting a large part of the economy, it is imperative that humans understand that attention is the gateway to information processing and “knowing what to pay attention to” is probably far more important than simply paying attention.Since the act of paying attention presents itself in more than one form such as listening, loving, cooperating, collaborating or even being generous and altruistic, we need to build brains that know how to engage their attention and direct it towards intentions so that decisions are made that serve the needs that go beyond the current moment or the current self. On this episode, award-winning author and journalist known for her pioneering writings exploring social trends, particularly technology's impact on humanity, Maggie Jackson, joins Sucheta Kamath to talk about why fractured attention often leaves us feeling scattered, fragmented and frustrated. If what Susan Sontag's words “Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager” are true, then we all must participate in the Attentional Renaissance.About Maggie JacksonMaggie Jackson is an award-winning author and journalist known for her pioneering writings exploring social trends, particularly technology's impact on humanity. Her acclaimed book Distracted (Second Ed., 2018) kickstarted a global conversation on the steep costs of fragmenting our attention. Winner of the prestigious 2020 Dorothy Lee Book Award for excellence in technology criticism, Distracted was compared by FastCompany.com to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring for its prescient critique of technology's excesses. The book helped inspire Google's recent digital well-being initiative. A former Boston Globe contributing columnist, Jackson's commentary and articles have appeared in media worldwide, including the New York Times, NPR, and the noted design-and-philosophy journal New Philosopher. A graduate of Yale University and of the London School of Economics with highest honors, Jackson has won numerous awards and fellowships, including a Visiting Fellowship at the Bard Graduate Center (2016).

Compassion with James Kirby "Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." Albert Einstein Compassion is defined as the sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. If the purpose of compassion is to alleviate the suffering and pain within ourselves, others and all living things then it brings a great level of importance. I was delighted to be able to speak with James Kirby on this topic, one which he clearly has much passion and knowledge about. Not only does he share insight on the intricacies on compassion but also how we can go about cultivating it in our daily lives. Enjoy! Guest Bio James is a Clinical Psychologist and Lecturer at the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland. He is also the Co-Director of the Compassionate Mind Research Group at the University of Queensland.

James also holds a Visiting Fellowship at the Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education at Stanford University. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles and chapters. He also continues his work as a clinical psychologist in private practice.

Visiting Fellowship in New Zealand In 2008, Center Manager Jim Schwab, AICP, was invited by the Centre for Advanced Engineering in New Zealand (CAENZ), located at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, to serve as a Visiting Fellow, studying New Zealand hazards planning and offering consultation on national hazards policy. Schwab's trip lasted three weeks from July 25 to August 15, 2008, during which time he traveled the country, delivering seven different lectures and seminars, including presentation at the Australasian Natural Hazards Conference and to a joint meeting of staff members of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Civil Defense and Emergency Management. A year later, in October 2009, Kristin Hoskin, who had managed Jim's itinerary for CAENZ, visited APA in Chicago, where she delivered a presentation and was interviewed for a podcast.
