Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AB Dick Lecture
Q: Where did Barbara Gaines's idea for a Chicago Shakespeare theater come from?
She describes a frustration with dull Shakespeare in Chicago and a personal longing to make the work accessible and vital, inspired by mentors and opportunities that encouraged her to pursue a dedicated Shakespeare venue.
Lori Lightfoot talk
Q: Is the ICE Accountability Project intended to scale nationwide, and what is the timeline for broader implementation?
The project is designed to be scalable; discussions have occurred with Minnesota, Maine, DC, and Los Angeles, but no formal nationwide rollout yet; the platform is prepared to add pages for other jurisdictions upon request.
Lori Lightfoot talk
Q: How is the ICE Accountability Project structured to verify incidents before publishing, and what safeguards prevent misinformation?
Incidents must include an email and be entered with detailed fields; a multi-layer review process assesses credibility using news and social media checks, with an AI tool to verify video authenticity, and confidential handling of submitter data.
Lori Lightfoot talk
Q: What are the three core organizations you would direct people to for support with ICE-related issues and advocacy in Chicagoland?
The answer points to primary groups like the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), ICER as a network of rapid response groups, and the ACLU, with New Life Centers in Little Village as additional local partners.
Humanities at a New Historical Moment Talk
Q: What are the most effective arguments to present to parents about the value of humanities programs for their children's future careers?
The speaker acknowledges concerns about job prospects but emphasizes interdisciplinary opportunities that merge humanistic knowledge with computer science and game studies, showing how humanities can prepare students for tech-driven fields and creative problem solving, thereby appealing to parents by highlighting transferable skills and adaptable career pathways.
