• Y+30: The Future of Women

  28-29 Mar 2011 in New York, United States

  Nearly every day, headlines about the "end of men" and the inexorable rise of women are juxtaposed with stark facts about the pay gap and the lack of women at the upper echelons of power. Meanwhile, the Internet has changed our daily conversation of and by women of all ages, races, nationalities, and sexual orientations, about everything from pop culture to sexuality to politics. In thirty years, will we still be having the same debates about difference, discrimination, and forward development?

A recent Radio Lab production with Kevin Kelly (author of What Technology Wants) and Steven Johnson (author of Where Good Ideas Come From) and the ideas of Stuart Kauffman evolution via self-organization suggest some big ideas if not questions to those of us looking beyond the tips of our noses.

• Y+30: The Future of Activism

  Thu, 17 Feb 2011, 00:00 - 02:00 in New York, United States

  In the past, activism meant taking to the streets in protest, holding up a sign and showing solidarity through sit-ins and slogans chanted. As we've seen the developments in Egypt unfold, people have still taken to the streets, yet now it's supplemented by hashtag chatter, citizen journalism, photoblogging, and livestreaming. As new technologies emerge, activism and outreach efforts morph and expand.

The 92nd Street Y has offered to host us at their awesome Tribecca location, so we are going on a bit of a field trip. In October we turn our attention to Philanthropy.
