Each represents the defining event of Judaism and Christianity, respectively: the Exodus from Egypt and the resurrection of Jesus. YDS Professor Joel Baden and Berkeley Divinity School Dean Andrew McGowan have created a Yale Bible Study on the biblical origins of the two holidays that is available at no cost on our website. We encourage you to take advantage of this 4-session study in the weeks approaching Passover and Easter, and then join them for this webinar. They will discuss how Easter grew out of Passover and how these observances have changed over the centuries. Online — 409 Prospect Street false

This may be particularly true for adolescents given that this is a time of intensified emotional distress and a critical period for development. Using mixed-methods longitudinal data from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) study on over 6,000 refugee adolescents aged 10-17 and their local peers in Bangladesh and Jordan this research explores the challenges faced by adolescents growing up under forced displacement. false

    • YANA Panel Discussion: Designing for Freedom

      Apr 13, 2021
      Starts at 6:30PM
      Online
      Add to Calendar 2021-04-13T18:30:00 2021-04-13T18:30:00 America/New_York YANA Panel Discussion: Designing for Freedom Yale was the first university to create a sustained initiative on modern slavery and trafficking through the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery and Abolition. Today, Yale is taking a lead with the Grace Farms Foundation to raise awareness of the chronically overlooked crisis of systemic slave labor in the supply chain for the $11.4 trillion construction industry. Join us for a look back – with an update on the Yale Slavery and Research Project – and a look forward to ways that architects, developers, and investors can build ethically sourced, slave-free, and sustainably sourced buildings. There is no better time to do this. The United Nations has named 2021 as “International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour.” Worldwide turmoil has led to increased risk for enslaved child labor through poverty, reduced work opportunities for adults and adolescents, and refugee migration. And the construction industry is poised for growth as issues raised by the pandemic have led to new construction and infrastructure building projects. false

    • Yale Career Panels: A Candid View of the Legal Profession

      Apr 15
      4:00PM – 5:00PM
      Online
      Add to Calendar 2021-04-15T16:00:00 2021-04-15T17:00:00 America/New_York Yale Career Panels: A Candid View of the Legal Profession

      This event is the 49th in a series covering different professions and career issues.  Organized 9 years ago by a group of Yale alumni volunteers, these panels strive to provide candid, unvarnished views of the featured profession.  The lawyers for this panel represent different careers in the practice of law:  in house counsel to a financial services company, a Federal Judge and an expert in a non-profit, nonpartisan institute devoted to equal justice and the rule of law.

      The panel discussion will be broadcast via an interactive streaming video system and will allow Yale students and alumni to ask questions of the panel and interact with each other. There will be a networking period after the one hour panel has ended. 

      Topics:

      • Where is the profession heading (good and bad)?
      • How do you get into the profession and what is the typical career path?
      • What are the myths versus the realities?
      • What are the characteristics of people who tend to do well and are happy in the profession?
      • What types of people tend not to do well or end up unhappy and why?
      • If you don’t stay in the profession until retirement, what are the exit routes to other professions?

      This series is jointly supported by various organizations at Yale University and Yale Alumni organizations, including the Yale Office of Career Strategy, the Yale Alumni Association (YAA), the Yale School of Management, Students and Alumni of Yale (STAY), the Junior Class Council (JCC), the Yale.nyc (the Yale alumni association in New York City), and the Association of Asian American Yale Alumni (AAAYA).
