What are the implications of the U.S. retreat from Afghanistan? Does it mark the "end of the American era?" What can the world community do for the thousands of Afghan refugees across the globe? How will the Taliban government treat women and Afghans who worked with Western organizations? Amid the continuing uncertainty, journalists Robin Wright and Jawad Sukhanyar will give their perspectives on the evolving situation, in conversation with Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House.

Cynthia Miller-Idriss explores the rise in far-right radicalization through the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated. Where does the far right do its recruiting? When do young people encounter extremist messaging in their everyday lives? In Hate in the Homeland she shows how far-right groups are growing and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in a variety of mainstream settings. She demonstrates how the path to radicalization is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood. The discussion will be moderated by the Ford School's Javed Ali.

Trauma-informed policing: Improving mental health and public safety (November 15, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89176 89176-21660860@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 15, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

Police deal with trauma on a daily basis, which is not systematically addressed. In the larger discussions about police reform, attention to the well-being of the officers is not mentioned. This neglect can lead to police officers being stressed and disillusioned, which affects their decision-making and mental health in a vicious cycle. Changing policy to help police departments deal with routine trauma can improve the conditions for the police and for policing in general. This discussion will look at the current state of affairs and possible solutions.

Panelists:
Jeff Carek, retired deputy sheriff, founder of "I Got Your 6 Tour"
Alyshia Dyer, Ford School MPP student, former sheriff's deputy
Leah Mills LMSW, CEO of Ntervene
Daicia Price, clinical assistant professor of social work (moderator)

Preventable: COVID-19, healthcare, and the future (November 18, 2021 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/89110 89110-21660517@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 18, 2021 4:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

While the uneven government response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have been responsible for thousands of unnecessary deaths, the pandemic revealed larger issues of health inequity across U.S. society. Andy Slavitt, former Biden White House COVID-19 senior advisor and acting CMS administrator, has outlined the mistakes made, the larger picture of healthcare in America, and prescriptions for alleviating some of those problems. He will be in discussion with Towsley Policymaker in Residence and health advocate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.

About the book:
From former Biden Senior Advisor Andy Slavitt, Preventable is the definitive inside account of the United States' failed response to the Coronavirus pandemic. Slavitt chronicles what he saw and how much could have been prevented—an unflinching investigation of the cultural, political, and economic drivers that led to unnecessary loss of life.

With unparalleled access to the key players throughout the government on both sides of the aisle, the principal public figures, as well as the people working on the frontline involved in fighting the virus, Slavitt brings you into the room as fateful decisions are made and focuses on the people at the center of the political system, health care system, patients, and caregivers. The story that emerges is one of a country in which—despite the heroics of many—bad leadership, political and cultural fractures, and an unwillingness to sustain sacrifice light a fuse that is difficult to extinguish.

Written in the tradition of The Big Short, Preventable continues Andy Slavitt’s important work of addressing the uncomfortable realities that brought America to this place. And, he puts forth the solutions that will prevent us from being here again, ensuring a better, stronger country for everyone.

From rage to reconciliation: Stories from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (March 9, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/91245 91245-21677517@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 9, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy

The Parents Circle-Families Forum (PCFF) is a grassroots organization of Palestinian and Israeli families who have lost immediate family members due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The PCFF operates under the principle that a process of reconciliation is a prerequisite for achieving a sustained peace. Two PCFF members—an Israeli and a Palestinian—will join us to tell their personal stories of bereavement and explain their choice to engage in dialogue instead of revenge.

Laila Alsheikh lives in Bethlehem in the West Bank. In 2002, her 6 months old son, Qussay, became ill and Israeli soldiers prevented Layla from taking him to the hospital for more than five hours. Qussay soon died from the lack of timely treatment. Layla joined the Parents Circle in 2016. Following her son’s death, she never thought of revenge, but rather has devoted her time and energy to ensuring a better, more peaceful future for her children.

Yigal Elhanan is Israeli. When he was 4 years old, his sister, Smadar, was killed in a Palestinian suicide bombing in Jerusalem. Yigal is a member and activist in the Parents Circle – Families Forum. His father, Rami Elhanan, previously served as the Israeli Co-Director of the organization.

After hearing from the Parents Circle members, John Ciorciari (Ford School Associate Professor of Public Policy and Director of the International Policy Center and Weiser Diplomacy Center) will moderate a discussion between the presenters with some audience questions that came in through registration.

The bloody Israeli-Palestinian conflict has taken a heavy toll from each and every one of the PCFF members. It is through this pain that they have chosen to exchange their feelings of rage and revenge, helplessness, despair and the void, with activities of hope for reconciliation. Join us to hear their stories, and learn from their path from revenge to reconciliation.
