Why We Fight: The Roots of War and the Path to Peace With Author Christopher Blattman
 
Author Christopher Blattman draws on decades of economics, political science, psychology, and real-world interventions to lay out the root causes and remedies for war, showing that violence is not the norm, that there are only five reasons why conflict wins over compromise, and how peacemakers turn the tides through tinkering, not transformation.

From warring states to street gangs, ethnic groups and religious sects to political factions, Blattman outlines common dynamics to heed and lessons to learn. Along the way, through Blattman’s time studying Medellin, Chicago, Sudan, England, and more, we learn from vainglorious monarchs, dictators, mobs, pilots, football hooligans, ancient peoples and fanatics.

Christopher Blattman, a resident of Hyde Park, is the Ramalee E. Pearson Professor of Global Conflict Studies at the University of Chicago, where he coleads the Development Economics Center and directs the Obama Foundation Scholars program. His work on violence, crime, and poverty has been widely covered by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Forbes, Slate, Vox and NPR.

Hearing Loss Support Group Flyer
Hearing Loss Support Group
 
Monthly every 3rd Friday, 3-4:30pm
In-Person at CHPV
Free for members; registration required
 
 
Facilitated by CHPV member Lorie Rosenblum

Members will begin by sharing how hearing loss has affected our independent functioning and our self-esteem. We will also discuss how we have coped so far. Lorie will provide a list of tips for successful adaptation, both by the hearing impaired person and by those speaking in different settings. In other words, let’s start with where we are on a hearing-loss scale. In subsequent sessions we will discuss the range of assistive devices and strategies for obtaining them.

Lorie Rosenblum is a retired social worker and has been coping with progressive hearing loss for over 40 years. Lorie looks forward to sharing and cultivating CHPV's internal expertise with you!
