From D-Day to school integration in Little Rock\, from the Korean War to Cold War crises\, from the Red Scare to the Missile Gap controversies\, Ike was able to give the United States eight years of peace and prosperity by relying on a core set of principles. Susan Eisenhower‘s latest book\, How Ike Led\, illustrates not only what Eisenhower did\, but why―and what we can learn from him today. \nSusan Eisenhower will appear in conversation with Elaine Sciolino\, contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times.  \nAbout the speakers: \nSusan Eisenhower is one of Ike Eisenhower’s four grandchildren\, is a consultant\, author\, and a Washington\, DC-based policy strategist with many decades of work on national security issues. She lectures widely on such topics\, including strategic leadership.  \nElaine Sciolino is a contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for the New York Times. Her forthcoming book\, Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World’s Greatest Museum\, will be published in 2025. Decorated Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French state\, she is the author of the national best-sellers The Seine and The Only Street in Paris. She has lived in Paris since 2002.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

How far back in history can we find its precursors\, in the form either of mechanical social\, or perhaps even biological information networks? What are the political and philosophical ideas that drove early efforts to network human society? And is the internet a fulfilment of these ideas\, or does the actually existing internet turn out to be in certain respects fundamentally different from the political and philosophical vision that guided its early development? \nIn this series of conversations\, we will be taking a maximally wide-focused view of these questions\, and we will be looking in particular at their importance for understanding the unprecedent technological revolution we are currently living through\, as well as its economic\, political\, cultural\, and psychological consequences. We will be focusing in particular on those thinkers who have articulated a theoretical account of the nature of information networks\, the possibility of machine intelligence\, or the utopian (or dystopian) prospects of a society reliant on machine-aided decision-making.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \nRegistration Details:\n\n\nThe 2024–2025 series will unfold over eight sessions\, on Thursdays from October 2024 to June 2024.

SUMMARY:(Online) The International Library: Queer Migrations
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Register” style=”custom” custom_background=”#194573″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-child” css=”” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.londonlibrary.co.uk%2Fwhats-on%2F258-the-international-library-queer-migrations%3Fdate%3D2024-11-14-19-30|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=””]The London Library is delighted to welcome Gaar Adams and Sulaiman Addonia\, two writers whose new works consider the complex intersections of queerness and migration. \nGaar Adams’s debut work of non-fiction\, Guest Privileges\, is a mix of memoir and reportage which explores what it means to be queer in the Gulf States and his own decade-long journey of dislocation. Asking why LGBTQ+ migrants might choose to live in a region where penalties for queer acts include torture and death\, he riskily gathered interviews and stories from across the region. But as he began his own clandestine queer relationship\, faultlines and deeper questions began to emerge\, revealing his own disquieting assumptions about the motivations and identities of others. \nSulaiman Addonia’s third novel\, The Seers\, follows the first weeks of a homeless Eritrean refugee in London. Set around a foster home in Kilburn\, in the squares of Bloomsbury where its protagonist sleeps\, and against the backdrop of the labyrinthine bureaucracy of the UK asylum system\, the novel considers intergenerational histories and colonial trauma alongside the psychological and sexual lives of refugees\, insisting that the erotic and intimate side of life is as much a part of someone’s story as land and nations are. \nIn conversation with novelist Isabelle Dupuy\, these extraordinary writers discuss migration\, dislocation and queerness\, what it takes to balance opportunity and risk\, subversion and assimilation\, how to build a life and a community and what constitutes home. \nSulaiman Addonia appears as part of Flip Through Flanders\, presented by Flanders Literature. \nAbout the Speakers \nGaar Adams is the author of Guest Privileges: Queer Lives and Finding Home in the Middle East (Harvill Secker\, 2024.) His reporting from the Middle East and South Asia has been featured in publications including The Atlantic\, Foreign Policy\, Rolling Stone\, Bloomberg\, Al Jazeera\, Slate and VICE. He was on the 2020-21 London Library Emerging Writers Programme and received his Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Glasgow. He currently teaches on the MA in Creative Writing at the University of Hull and lives in London. \nSulaiman Addonia FRSL is an Eritrean-Ethiopian-British novelist who came to London as an underage unaccompanied refugee. His other novels include The Consequences of Love and Silence is My Mother Tongue\, which have been shortlisted for awards including the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the African Literary Award from MoAD in San Francisco. His essays appear in Lit Hub\, Granta\, Freeman’s\, The New York Times\, De Standaard and Passa Porta. He lives in Brussels where he founded the Creative Writing Academy for Refugees & Asylum Seekers and the Asmara-Addis Literary Festival In Exile (AALFIE). \nIsabelle Dupuy grew up in Haiti\, has lived in America and came to the UK to work on a City trading floor before becoming an author. Her first novel Living the Dream was shortlisted for the Diverse Book Awards 2021. Her writing has been published in the New York Times\, Bad Form Review\, Black Ballad\, the Bookseller\, the RLF’s Writer’s Mosaic and more. She is a trustee of The London Library. \nAbout The International Library: \nThe International Library is a series launched in collaboration with the American Library in Paris\, the Center for the Art of Translation in San Francisco\, The Center for Fiction in Brooklyn and The London Library\, which offers conversations across time\, place\, and language. The International Library celebrates the live diffusion of in-person conversations in the hope of connecting new audiences across land and sea for a collective\, intercultural experience.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”54509″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Music Together with Stacey Pavesi Debré (ages 0–5)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Today\, it’s common for us to simply listen to music rather than create it ourselves. But actively making music—with our voices and our bodies—is important to children’s overall development. Since 1987\, Music Together\, has introduced millions of children\, parents\, and teachers to the joys of music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. In our family workshops children and parents learn together through active exploration and live\, meaningful interaction. So\, take out the earbuds and pick up the instruments we were all given at birth—ourselves! Each child (aged 0–5) should accompany one of their favorite grownups. \nAbout Stacey Pavesi Debré:  An American in Paris since 2014\, Stacey has been passionate about music and learning her whole life. She studied piano and string bass\, joined choirs\, orchestras\, a capella groups and musical theaters\, and worked as a vocalist in Japan and a singing bartender in NYC. In 2017\, Stacey founded Bébé Music Box to bring Music Together’s award-winning music and movement classes to families and schools in Paris. Our weekly mixed-age family classes are a fun\, dynamic\, and inspiring way for families to connect through music. Plus\, because music learning supports all learning\, the benefits for our young music-makers extend well beyond class. For more information about Bébé Music Box family classes or to contact Stacey\, visit www.bbmusicbox.com. To read more about music’s magical effects on children\, visit www.musictogether.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1704560469856{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: This event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
