AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring how the choice of a vice presidential candidate can shape a presidential campaign and a presidency itself. The discussion is inspired in part by the new film "The American Vice President," streaming now on the AMERICAN EXPERIENCE YouTube channel and on the PBS app. In this conversation, panelists will discuss how and why a campaign picks a certain candidate for the bottom slot on a presidential ticket. They will examine how the media and the general public can interpret these selections differently, asking whether a VP pick can be a decisive factor in an election. Finally, the panelists will take a closer look at how the campaign role of a vice presidential candidate can reveal their role in a potential administration. Panelists: Michael Kazin is the author of seven books about U.S. politics and social movements and the editor of The Princeton Encyclopedia of American Political History. He writes often for The New York Times, The Nation, The New Republic, and other periodicals and newspapers and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His most recent book is "What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party." Christopher J. Devine is an associate professor of political science at the University of Dayton. His books include "Do Running Mates Matter? The Influence of Vice Presidential Candidates in Presidential Elections" (with Kyle C. Kopko) and "News Media Coverage of the Vice-Presidential Selection Process: What's Wrong with the Veepstakes?" He is also co-editor of the forthcoming book, "Second in Command: Reevaluating the Role of Vice Presidents and Running Mates in Modern American Politics" (with Karine Prémont). The discussion will be moderated by Adriane Lentz-Smith. Adriane is an Associate Professor of History at Duke University, where she teaches courses on the Civil Rights Movement, Black Lives, Modern America, and History in Fact and Fiction. A scholar of African American history as well as the histories of the twentieth-century United States and the U.S. & the World, Lentz Smith is the author of "Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I" (Harvard University Press, 2009), as well as numerous other scholarly articles and reviews. This event will be livestreamed on our YouTube and Facebook pages.

The UC San Diego Library is hosting professor emeritus of cognitive science Jaime Pineda to discuss his new book “Controlling Mental Chaos: Harnessing the Power of the Creative Mind.” At the event, Pineda will discuss the story of mental chaos, framing it in an understandable narrative of why it happens and what can be done. It starts with our exquisite, original mind — adaptable, creative and curious. As we grow, its open nature gets stymied by attempts to protect it from the insults of life. This protective function creates a false sense of self that interferes with our creative problem-solving. The unhealthy ego misjudges and misinterprets the internal (interoceptive) and external (exteroceptive) signals we perceive. Other functions, such as language, further distort and create anxiety, fear and an out-of-control mind. The more the mind spins, the more it feels mentally separated from the body, and the fainter the signals from the body become. At a minimum, we need to reconnect mind and body; bypass the egoic mind, its distortion field and its autobiographical memory dependency so that instead of acting from what we know, we respond to the contingencies of the moment; and finally, provide space for more divergent (creative, open-ended) processing. All these activities occur when we practice mindful or open awareness. This is confirmed by science and the subjective experiences of practitioners who have practiced mindfulness for thousands of years. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required. Copies of Pineda’s book will be available for purchase from the UC San Diego Bookstore at the event. A book signing will follow at the conclusion of the lecture.
