Here are three things you can do to use books and conversation to help kids get weather ready.

Illume/Warwicks: In Conversation with Colum McCann The USD College of Arts and Sciences and Humanities Center, along with Warwick’s bookstore, will host National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann, as he discusses his first major non-fiction book, "American Mother." American Mother takes us deep into the story of Diane Foley, whose son Jim, a freelance journalist, was held captive by ISIS before being beheaded in the Syrian desert-the video shared online for all the world to see. In American Mother; Diane’s voice is channeled into searing reality by National Book Award winning author Colum McCann, who brings us on a journey of strength, resilience, and radical empathy. McCann will be in conversation with Avi Spiegel, PhD, JD, associate professor of political science and international relations. Colum McCann has received some of the world's most prestigious literary awards and honors, including the U.S National Book Award, the International Dublin Literary Prize, a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government, election to the Irish arts academy, several European awards, the 2010 Best Foreign Novel Award in China, and an Oscar nomination. His novels TransAtlantic (2013) and Apeirogon (2020) were longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. In 2017 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts. Free admission for USD students and staff by registering with your USD email and promo code. The code will be announced in the Humanities Center newsletter or you may contact us directly at humanitiescenter@sandiego.edu.
