SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Katherine Ewing
DESCRIPTION:Sufis embody the mystical side of Islam but are also part of well-established institutional networks—the Sufi orders that extend across the Muslim world. Through the words\, sounds\, and images of a brief Youtube video of a meeting an American Sufi leader and a hereditary caretaker of a thirteenth-century shrine in India\, we can see how Sufis use new media in ways that upend the usual rituals of status and authority within Sufi orders while pushing against powerful global forces that would seek to delegitimize Sufism as unIslamic and archaic. Based on a close reading of this encounter memorialized (at least for now) by Youtube\, I examine how modern Sufis are striving to embody a continuing tradition while simultaneously repositioning themselves in response to the pressures of secular and Islamist modernities. \nKatherine Pratt Ewing (PhD\, University of Chicago) is Professor of Religion at Columbia University and Professor Emerita of Cultural Anthropology at Duke University. Among her books are “Arguing Sainthood: Modernity\, Psychoanalysis and Islam” (Duke\, 1997)\, which focused on debates about Sufism and Islamic reform in Pakistan\, and the forthcoming volume “Sufis and the State: The Politics of Islam in South Asia and Beyond\,” edited with Rosemary Corbett (Columbia\, 2020). \nHer current research in Mauritania\, Morocco\, and Senegal examines the effects of shifting policies toward Sufism on local subjectivities and their implications for understanding how Islam is evolving as a living religious tradition within a fraught global order. \nEvenings with Authors and other weeknight programs at the Library are free and open to the public (except as noted) thanks to support from GRoW @ Annenberg\, our members\, and those who attend programs. There is a suggested donation of ten euros for non-members. Doors open at 19h00 and the event begins at 19h30.

SUMMARY:Black ou Noir(e): A Public Panel on Black Expats and Belonging in Paris
DESCRIPTION:Picking up the thread from the Library’s February 2019 panel on mixed race and identity\, this public panel\, moderated by Tarani Merriweather and featuring discussants Jacqueline Ngo Mpii\, Yanique Francis\, and Maya Dorsey\, will explore questions related to how Black expats define their racial identity in France. What impact can language and vocabulary have on an individual’s sense of identity and belonging? How does this differ when they relocate or become expats? How are they perceived in their new communities\, and by locals? What are the commonalities among Black French and Black Americans in reclaiming language and identity and in seeking inclusion\, equity\, and justice? In a country where acknowledging race is taboo\, but gender issues are openly debated\, how do Black women acknowledge the intersections of these two salient identities? \n  \nTarani \nTarani Merriweather is a PhD candidate in Social-Organizational Psychology at Teachers College\, Columbia University in New York\, where she also completed her Masters. A native of Cincinnati\, Ohio\, Tarani received her BA in Psychology from Spelman College in Atlanta\, Georgia.

She is the cultural ambassador for Paris’s cosmopolitan community of Afro-Parisian entrepreneurs – who are fusing these two vibrant cultures to create magic in food\, art\, and fashion. Little Africa is a sustainable and inclusive enterprise whose mission is to help connect individuals and corporations to African culture in Paris. \nWebsite: www.littleafrica.fr \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/LittleAfricaparis/\nInstagram: http://instagram.com/littleafricaparis/\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/LittleAfrica__ \nYanique \nYanique Francis is an event planner\, travel consultant\, and the founder and creative director of My Parisian LAB @myparisianlife @elopeinparis @parisfoodiebag and a writer for HuffPost and Travel&Leisure. \nMaya \nMaya Dorsey is a California- bred\, adopted Parisienne and proud citizen of the world.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Michael Webber
DESCRIPTION:A global tour of energy–the builder of human civilization and also its greatest threat.\nEnergy is humanity’s single most important resource. In fact\, as energy expert Dr. Michael E. Webber argues in Power Trip\, the story of how societies rise can be told largely as the story of how they manage energy sources through time. In 2019\, as we face down growing demand for and accumulating environmental impacts from energy\, we are at a crossroads and the stakes are high. But history shows us that energy’s great value is that it allows societies to reinvent themselves. \nPower Trip explores how energy has transformed societies of the past and offers wisdom for today’s looming energy crisis. There is no magic bullet; energy advances always come with costs. Scientific innovation needs public support. Energy initiatives need to be tailored to individual societies. We must look for long-term solutions. Our current energy crisis is real\, but it is solvable. We have the power. \nMichael is based in Paris\, France where he serves as the Chief Science and Technology Officer at ENGIE\, a global energy & infrastructure services company. Michael is also the Josey Centennial Professor in Energy Resources at the University of Texas at Austin. His expertise spans research and education at the convergence of engineering\, policy\, and commercialization on topics related to innovation\, energy\, and the environment. His latest book Power Trip: the Story of Energy was published May 7\, 2019 by Basic Books with a 6-part companion series in development for PBS. His first book\, Thirst for Power: Energy\, Water and Human Survival\, addressed the connection between earth’s most valuable resources and offers a hopeful approach toward a sustainable future.
