Tour | High Line Tour


The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets.

When interstate truck traffic made the railway outdated, it fell into ruin, only to be regenerated as a park. The tour is every Monday.

Talk | Inclusivity and Indie Authors: The Case for Community-Based Publishing


Authors of color who are excluded from the traditional publishing industry are increasingly turning to self-publishing. As an indie author, Zetta Elliott has the freedom to write about the things that matter most to the members of her community, rather than waiting for approval from the gatekeepers who lack the cultural competence needed to truly appreciate the work of non-traditional authors. Elliott’s imprint, Rossetta Press, produces stories that are culturally specific and organic—not forced through a filter in order to be labeled "universal". Diverse books can foster cross-cultural understanding at an early age. At a moment when 75 percent of whites have no friends of color, and public schools are rapidly "resegregating", the need for diverse children’s literature is greater than ever.

Lecture | Speaking of Science: Social Robots and Compassion

Social robots are designed to engage with us humans in a collaborative way – like taking over our complex tasks, or simply waiting for us in line. To be effective, these robots need to interact with humans (or other robots) empathically, so empathy needs to be programed into their “consciousness.”
