Join acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters Carol Leonnig and Aaron C. Davis for a powerful discussion about their explosive new book, INJUSTICE: How Politics and Fear Vanquished America’s Justice Department (releasing November 4).

The behind-the-scenes story of a decade-long subversion of one of America’s most vital institutions to the unprecedented political challenges presented during the Trump administration, INJUSTICE exposes how the nation’s Justice Department was transformed into a battleground for democracy itself. Leonnig and Davis take readers deep into the heart of this struggle, revealing the extraordinary pressures, covert battles, and efforts within the department as it grappled with threats to the rule of law.

Hear from these three thought leaders as they dive in, sharing the stories behind the headlines and engaging in a vital conversation to illuminate the ongoing crisis and its profound implications for the future of justice, accountability, and democracy in the United States.

This event offers two ticket options:

• Attend the event: $0 
• Attend the event + receive a SIGNED copy of INJUSTICE + GBH Membership (includes PBS Passport): $60 

Join Jim Fruchterman, leading social entrepreneur, MacArthur Fellow, and recipient of the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, founder of Benetech, an award-winning tech nonprofit, and leader of Tech Matters, who will discuss his new book, TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD: How Nonprofit Leaders are Using Software and Data to Solve Our Most Pressing Problems. The book is described as a call to action with a genuinely global focus, blazing a path forward where human beings come rightly and justly before profits. Fruchterman will be in conversation with Hiawatha Bray, technology writer for The Boston Globe.

Cynicism has become the default lens through which many people view American life. According to Pew research, our trust in institutions is steadily eroding and being replaced by a hardened belief that our systems are broken and most government promises, empty lies. Cambridge Forum hosts Rev. Andre K. Bennett, Steve Starring Grant and Emmanuel Maduneme, who have all forged strategies to navigate the stresses of everyday existence. Their experiences offer pragmatic suggestions, and optimistic ideas about how meaning can be reclaimed in a cynical age.

In this talk, GBH News reporter Jeremy Siegel moderates a talk with Transportation for MA, asking what, exactly, autonomous vehicles are and if they are safe.

Learn first hand from researchers working with dangerous predators and communities that live alongside them how they are using a combination of new technology and indigenous wisdom to coexist.

Explore how interdisciplinary collaboration – between artists, scientists, and technologists – can spark deeper modes of engagement and reveal how design, movement, and innovation touch the human spirit.
