SUMMARY:The Supreme Court in Crisis: What Can Be Done?
DESCRIPTION:Once among the most revered institutions in America\, the Supreme Court is under a cloud.

Longstanding precedents establishing basic freedoms\, and ensuring that no one is above the law\, have been overturned. In this lecture\, Jess Velona will review how we got here and address some of the major reform proposals\, including expanding the Court\, term limits\, and a binding ethics code. \nAbout the Presenter: Jess Velona has taught courses on Russian history\, the Nazi regime\, and other topics at Fordham University’s College at 60 and NYU’s School of Professional Studies\, as well as African American history at CUNY’s College of Staten Island.

He was a law clerk for then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg\,  As a one time candidate for public office in Manhattan and former aide to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan\, Jess loves sharing his passion for politics and history with students and adult audiences across the New York metropolitan area.

SUMMARY:Foreign Affairs Discussion: The Iran-Saudi Arabia Struggle
DESCRIPTION:Saudi Arabia and Iran have two sharply contrasting plans for the future. The Saudis’ forward-looking strategy seeks to build a modern economy and society and join the world while Iran’s backward-looking vision wants to consolidate its theocracy\, spread its influence in the region\, and sustain its war on Israel. Iran’s military has had greater success in building its power in the region\, but ultimately\, it’s the Saudi vision that will redeem the Middle East. Join us to discuss the best outcome for the region and whether or how it can be achieved. \nAbout the facilitator: David Cheney is an international economics writer\, instructor\, and trainer for international and educational institutions.
