This virtual presentation will teach you about End-of-Life doulas – trained non-medical providers, who can be present from an initial diagnosis to ultimate death.
While we may understand and hopefully accept the certainty of our own demise, its time, place, and manner are far more obscure and unknown. Understanding the resources, options, and support systems that may be available to us is an important part of that process.
End-of-Life doulas provide support to the individual and their loved ones, are knowledgeable on matters ranging from practical to spiritual, and help people identify how they want to live well, with choice, healing and thoughtfulness, as they near their death.
In this program we have a panel of three such practitioners, all with different backgrounds, experience, and practices. Join them for a compelling evening of discussion and an opportunity to have your questions and concerns answered.
-Michele Bograd is an End-of-Life doula and psychologist. She was the first End-of-Life doula at Tufts Medical Care at Home. -Nancy Kendrick became an End-of-Life doula in 2020 in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. She has previous experience helping people navigate transitions in HR and Move Management roles. -Angela Sakakeeny is an End-of-Life doula, Reiki instructor and a complimentary therapist. She currently works with hospice patients at the High Pointe House in Haverhill.
This program is part of an on-going series titled ‘You’ve Been Dying To Know About …” conceived and developed by Richard Davis.

Join us for what is going to be a fascinating conversation with author Caitlin Cass on her book, <a href="https://danvers.noblenet.org/eg/opac/record/5151316?query=suffrage%20song;qtype=keyword;locg=1;detail_record_view=0;sort=poprel" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="https://danvers.noblenet.org/eg/opac/record/5151316?locg=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Suffrage Song: The Haunted History of Gender, Race and Voting Rights in the U.S.</a> Part graphic novel, part map of the suffrage movement, this book tells the story of the fight for the right to vote by women from the very beginning.
About the book: “She put in her work, but there’s so much left to do.” Begun in the Antebellum era, the song of suffrage was a rallying cry across the nation that would persist over a century. Capturing the spirit of this refrain, New Yorker contributing cartoonist Caitlin Cass pens a sweeping history of women’s suffrage in the U.S. — a kaleidoscopic story akin to a triumphant and mournful protest song that spans decades and echoes into the present.
In Suffrage Song, Cass takes a critical, intersectional approach to the movement’s history — celebrating the pivotal, hard-fought battles for voting rights while also laying bare the racist compromises suffrage leaders made along the way. She explores the multigenerational arc of the movement, humanizing key historical figures from the early days of the suffrage fight (Susan B. Anthony, Frances Watkins Harper), to the dawn of the “New Women” (Alice Paul, Mary Church Terrell), to the Civil Rights era (Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker). Additionally, this book sheds light on less chronicled figures such as Zitkala-Ša and Mabel Ping Hua-Lee, whose stories reveal the complex racial dynamics that haunt this history.
The interiors include 4 foldouts, most notably a 4-page map detailing where women could vote in the US in 1919, leading up to the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Impeccably researched and rendered in an engaging and accessible comics style, Suffrage Song is sure to spark discussion on the vital issue of voting rights that continues to resonate today.
Caitlin Cass makes comics, cartoons and art installations about failing systems and irrational hope. Story by story she is building her own canon in a doomed effort to understand the dismal state of the world. For the past 12 years Caitlin has published a bimonthly comic periodical under the moniker The “Great” Moments in Western Civilization Postal Constituent. Her cartoons and comics have appeared in The New Yorker, The Lily and The Nib. Caitlin was a 2018 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Fiction. Her 2020 solo exhibition Women’s Work was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Zoom Program: Haunted Happenings with Jeff DePaoli - Canobie Lake Screeemfest

Join us on the Summer Solstice which arrives today at 4:50pm!
Some 5,000 years ago, a Neolithic civilization in southern England erected the world’s most famous standing-stone monument. Yet its builders left no written records, so why and how they constructed it remains a mystery. Whatever its true purpose, Stonehenge remains an iconic enigma visited by 800,000 people each year. Now, using modern forensic techniques, teams of geochemists and anthropologists are learning crucial new details about when — and why — this iconic monument came to be. For example, they’ve determined that many of the smaller pillars, known as bluestones, were hauled to the site from a specific rock outcrop in central Wales — more than 100 miles away. And while Stonehenge is most famous for its alignment with the rising Sun during summer solstice, some researchers have suggested that it could have been constructed to serve as a daily calendar or even an eclipse calculator.

J. Kelly Beatty has been explaining the science and wonder of astronomy to the public since 1974, when he joined the staff of Sky &amp; Telescope. An award-winning writer and communicator, he specializes in planetary science and space exploration. In 2018, after 43 years of pounding the keyboard, he retired from full-time work but remains actively involved in many S&amp;T articles, tours, and other projects. You'll occasionally hear his interviews on National Public Radio. Kelly holds a Bachelors degree from the California Institute of Technology and a Master's degree from Boston University. During the 1980s he was among the first Western journalists to gain firsthand access to the Soviet space program. Asteroid 2925 Beatty was named on the occasion of his marriage in 1983, and in 1986 he was chosen one of the 100 semifinalists for NASA's Journalist in Space program.

Join Bard College film professor Joshua Glick for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on contemporary media. We’ll talk about how these technologies are shaping the film and TV industry as well as the proliferation of “deepfakes” – AI-enabled videos that depict people doing or saying things they never did or said. Come with your hopes, questions, and concerns about this emerging media landscape.

Professor Joshua Glick is a film and media studies scholar focusing on the comparative histories of film, television, and radio; nonfiction media; race and representation; and the civic uses of emerging technology. In collaboration with the Center for Advanced Virtuality at MIT, he designed the interactive online curriculum, Media Literacy in the Age of Deepfakes. Professor Glick also co-curated Deepfake: Unstable Evidence on Screen, an exhibition at the Museum of the Moving Image in New York.
