SUMMARY:Losing Earth: Nathaniel Rich in conversation with Tegan Wendland
DESCRIPTION:Author Nathaniel Rich will be in conversation with WWNO Coastal Desk reporter Tegan Wendland about his new book\, "Losing Earth: A Recent History". \nBy 1979\, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change—including how to stop it. Over the next decade\, a handful of scientists\, politicians\, and strategists\, led by two unlikely heroes\, risked their careers in a desperate\, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story\, and ours. \nNathaniel Rich is a writer-at-large at The New York Times Magazine\, and a regular contributor to the Atlantic\, The New York Review of Books\, and Harper’s. He is the author of three novels: "King Zeno\," "Odds Against Tomorrow\," and "The Mayor’s Tongue." He lives in New Orleans. \nNOTE: This event is not sponsored by NOSHA. It is hosted by the ByWater Institute at the Tulane River and Coastal Center\, and co-sponsored by the Garden District Book Shop and WWNO.

SUMMARY:Sunday Freethinkers Fika - Join Us in November
DESCRIPTION:"Fika"\, a valued social institution in Sweden\, means taking a regular break to enjoy refreshments with your friends or colleagues. We have added this experience to NOSHA! \nFrom the book 'The Art of the Swedish Coffee Break': "Functioning as both a verb and a noun\, the concept of fika is simple. It is the moment that you take a break often with a cup of coffee\, but alternatively with tea\, and find a baked good to pair with it. You can do it alone\, you can do it with friends. You can do it at home\, in a park or at work. But the essential thing is that you do it\, that you make time to take a break: that's what fika is all about." \nThis has become a successful social outing organized by NOSHA board member William Gautreaux. Bring your enthusiasm\, your topics and your willingness to listen to your freethinking friends!

SUMMARY:Religion\, Immigration\, and the Rise of Right-Wing Populism
DESCRIPTION:Fidel Azazi will discuss contemporary immigration in the West from Muslim-majority countries and the dramatic cultural shift contributing to a major change in Europe and the United States. Such change has paved the way for right-wing populism to dominate the political landscape. \nAzazi is a Lebanese social and political activist who has worked with the International Organization for Migration under the Humanitarian Admission Program for resettlement between 2013 and 2015. Then\, he served as a protection officer at Oxfam Great Britain until 2017 providing social safety interventionist programs to refugees. By mid-2017\, he was assigned to a ten-month emergency program at the UN Refugee Agency\, providing counseling for newly-arrived refugees. \nHe is currently completing a joint Master’s degree program from Université La Sagesse in Beirut and Université de Paris-Sud in Paris. His thesis is entitled "The Repercussions of the Migration Crises in the West: The Rise of Populism and Its Impact on Multiculturalism." \nAzazi was an active member of the Civil Secular Society Movement in Lebanon and has been a member of NOSHA since his arrival in the United States earlier this year.

SUMMARY:Gimme a Faith - Film Screening at the New Orleans Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:NOSHA is the Community Partner with the New Orleans Film Festival for this film. We will have some free passes to give out to NOSHA people (first come\, first served) and when those are all taken\, you can still buy a ticket at the venue. Look for Charlotte or Audrey. \nSYNOPSIS: Thousands of Chinese students arrive in the United States each year\, often confronting loneliness and culture-clash upon arrival\, something director Hao Zhang (Winner: NOFF Student Pitch Award\, 2017) knows all too well. Arriving in North Carolina to study film\, Zhang is surprised to find a unique community of Chinese students\, underpinned by a newly discovered evangelical Christianity that is often at stark odds with their roots in China. \nZhang follows these students—many of whom become his close friends—as well as lone skeptic Gong\, whose staunch atheism leaves him largely isolated. Self-consciously mirroring Zhang’s own expat journey\, "Gimme a Faith" ponders the importance of maintaining a sense of identity and purpose in a foreign land. \nDocumentary83 minutes
