SUMMARY:Learning Forum: Why Trust is Essential to Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Magnolia United Church of Christ invites you to join us for an online Learning Forum that discusses why throughout the world\, democratic institutions and norms are eroding. At the core of this breakdown\, argues political scientist Dr. Jacob S. Lewis\, is a deeper crisis of trust. Trust\, which builds slowly\, can be destroyed quickly—and is very hard to resurrect. In this talk\, discover the “three verbs” of trust: bonding\, bridging\, and breaking\, and get a foundational overview of how trust operates within democratic societies. How can we work to rebuild trust together and create a stronger democratic future? \n  \nJacob S. Lewis\, an associate professor in the School of Politics\, Philosophy\, and Public Affairs at Washington State University. His research focuses on the relationship between trust\, conflict\, and democracy. His work has been published in the Journal of Peace Research\, Political Behavior\, Political Psychology\, Political Geography\, Social Movement Studies\, the Journal of Conflict Resolution\, and more. \nThis talk is underwritten by a grant from Humanities of Washington and presented in partnership with The Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service and will require preregistration. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the Learning Forum zoom meeting. \n  \nLink: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/zh_jfIdrSIKEiHo4vwvuIQ

SUMMARY:Power and Politics in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:Shouldn’t the public have a say in how AI is changing our lives? AI is marketed as a life-changing innovation made by brilliant experts and the companies they work for. Yet as the people most affected by AI tools\, we have almost no say in designing\, developing\, or deploying them. In this talk\, explore the ways that AI companies are shutting people out of their creation\, stifling competition\, threatening jobs\, and shaking up society. The speaker will be Onur Bakiner\, a professor and director of the Technology Ethics Initiative at Seattle University.  Register here.

SUMMARY:Bible Study – The Prophets of Old Speaking to Us Today
