TUESDAY, March 5 at 7 PM
|
Journalist Erin Reed will explore the complex and often misunderstood world of transgender athletes in sports. Delving into the history and current controversies, we will address the myths and misinformation surrounding “biological advantages.” We will also discuss the discriminatory nature of recent sports bans targeting transgender individuals, and interrogate how similar arguments have been historically used to marginalize other minority groups. We will look at the real world impact of these sports bans, and how they might touch places you didn’t think about. Finally, we’ll put it all together in considering what transgender inclusion means for society at large.

Eclipse Exploration
|
|
|
On Monday, April 8 2024 the US will experience a total solar eclipse! In Brookline, we’ll experience approximately 92% obscuration of the sun. Join us in Hunneman Hall to start preparing for the eclipse. We’ll learn what creates the conditions for a solar eclipse, create an eclipse-themed craft, and take a closer look at the sun through sunoculars and a solar telescope.* We will hold two sessions of this program:
|
Wednesday, March 6 at 3 PM - for kids ages 5-9
|
Saturday, March 9 at 2 PM - for adults and kids of all ages
|
At both sessions, kids under 9 should be accompanied by an adult.
|
*Sunoculars and solar telescopes are designed to allow people to safely view the sun. Do not look directly at the sun with regular binoculars or telescopes, directly with your eyes, or with a camera.
