SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Stories We Carry
DESCRIPTION:*Free and open to the public. Registration is not required. *\n\nNovelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation on storytelling as an act of empathy and why listening matters now more than ever. \n\nStories have the power not only to entertain or inform\, but to help us imagine lives beyond our own. In this special Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture\, internationally acclaimed novelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation about storytelling as an act of empathy\, curiosity\, and human connection. Drawing on McCann's celebrated fiction and his work as co-founder of Narrative 4\, the discussion will explore how stories invite us to listen more deeply\, understand one another across differences\, and expand our sense of what it means to be human. At a time when genuine listening can feel increasingly rare\, this conversation will consider the unique role that literature and storytelling can play in helping us encounter one another with greater openness\, compassion\, and imagination.\n\nJoin us after the conversation for a Community Story Exchange led by Narrative 4 at 7pm! Registration appreciated. More details at https://events.umich.edu/event/149899.\n\nColum McCann is the author of eight novels\, three collections of stories and two works of non-fiction. Born and raised in Dublin\, Ireland\, he has been the recipient of many international honours\, including the U.S National Book Award\, the International Dublin Literary Prize\, a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government\, election to the Irish arts academy\, several European awards\, the 2010 Best Foreign Novel Award in China\, and an Oscar nomination. In 2017 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts.  He is the President and co-founder of the non-profit global story exchange organisation\, Narrative 4. He lives in New York with his wife Allison and their family.  His 2009 novel Let the Great World Spin has sold a million copies in the United States alone\, and was voted on the New York Times Readers List\, “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.”  \n\nApril Baer is the host of Michigan Public’s Stateside talk show. Prior to her arrival in Michigan\, April was the host of the weekly show State of Wonder on Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) for the past six years. Before that\, she was the Morning Edition host and a reporter at OPB\, covering beats including government and legal affairs\, changing demographics and the arts.\n\n*The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.*
