SUMMARY:Culture Series: The Other Significant Others
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\nOur need for stronger social ties could hardly be clearer at a time when so many Americans are feeling the effects of the loneliness epidemic and a decline in platonic relationships that has been dubbed a “friendship recession.” A panel will discuss what we can learn from past and present approaches to friendship\, from ceremonies that honor platonic relationships to communal living arrangements. They’ll use these examples to imagine the role of friendship in our lives moving forward. The evening will conclude with the performance of a song about friendship. \nJoin guest curator Rhaina Cohen\, the author of the bestselling book The Other Significant Others\, in conversation with a panel that brings both research expertise and first-hand experience with building a life with friends. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nMore About the Curator: Rhaina Cohen is the author of the bestselling book The Other Significant Others: Reimagining Life with Friendship at the Center and an award-winning producer for NPR’s documentary podcast\, Embedded.
