“Online Harassment: A Threat to Democracy”
The Eisendrath Symposium with Elodie Vialle, Rana Ayyub, Jason Reich and moderator Roya Ensafi
March 24, 2020 | 4:30 p.m.
Rackham Amphitheatre
915 E Washington St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Free and open to the public.
About the Event
Online trolls target journalists with such frequency and intensity that 90 percent of reporters say online harassment has become their biggest safety concern, according to a study by the Committee to Protect Journalists. The perpetrators range from lone-wolf digital stalkers to synchronized armies of online mercenaries set in motion by political actors. They have turned social media platforms into battlefields filled with verbal weaponry meant to intimidate and silence journalists. The threats toward female journalists are particularly vicious and dangerous. A recent study by the International Women Media Foundation found that online harassment has prompted many women journalists to consider leaving the profession.
What can be done to track and counter the hate?
Wallace House Presents a conversation with Rana Ayyub, award-winning investigative journalist based in Mumbai, Elodie Vialle, a Knight-Wallace Fellow and authority on internet harassment and attacks against female journalists and Jason Reich, Vice President of Corporate Security for The New York Times Company.

Recode’s Kara Swisher interviews former Facebook executive Alex Stamos
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. A handful of tech companies have changed the way we live and built unprecedented industrial bases in the process. Their reach extends far beyond our pocketbooks into privacy, individual liberties, and the fabric of our democracy.
In August 2018, Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos announced he would leave the company following reports of disagreements with other executives over how to address the Russian government’s use of Facebook to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Since his departure he’s advocated for the breakup of the tech giant and co-authored the white paper “Securing American Elections: Prescriptions for Enhancing the Integrity and Independence of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections and Beyond.”
Do we really understand what we are giving away in exchange for speed and convenience? Do the tech giants understand, or care about, their responsibility in this digital age that they created?
Wallace House Presents Alex Stamos in a live interview with Recode Executive Editor Kara Swisher on stage at Hill Auditorium at 6:30 p.m. on March 18, 2020.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: Beat The Devil
When:
Fri, February 28, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
In 1953 the legendary director, John Huston set out to make another picture with his friend and frequent collaborator, Humphrey Bogart and enlisted the help of a fledgling writer by the name of Truman Capote. When it was finished it fell with a flop at the box office. Beat the Devil, however, would eventually live on to reach cult status.
The end result is a comic adventure story that also works as a spoof of Huston’s own work, and is one that clearly cares more about character than plot. Capote’s dialogue, while often patently absurd, is delightful; and the actors, (including marquee stars and veteran character actors alike,) make the most of their parts as they deliver each line with gusto. While the characters (or caricatures) seem as bewildered by the plot as the viewer might be, in the end it doesn’t matter much; everyone seems to be having way too much fun.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: The Maltese Falcon
When:
Sat, February 29, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
The Maltese Falcon was an enormous success, and as the years have gone by, its reputation has only grown. It is often cited as the first important film in a genre that still resonates with viewers today nearly 80 years later: Film Noir. Audiences at the time reveled in the snappy dialogue as they were taken on a journey through a dark and labyrinthine plot with shadows and fog to match.
The film’s success can be largely attributed to Huston’s meticulous planning. His screenplay took almost all of the film’s dialogue straight from the novel. This gave him more time to sketch out his storyboards. By the time filming started, the actors knew exactly what they were going to say, and the cinematographer knew exactly how each shot was to be framed. The film was essentially made in Huston’s mind before the crew arrived.
Of course, the film wouldn’t have been the same without the universally outstanding performances of its cast. Beyond Humphrey Bogart’s star turn and Mary Astor’s expert take on the scheming femme fatale archetype, Peter Lorre shines as the deceitful lowlife, Joel Cairo. Sydney Greenstreet gives an iconic performance as Cairo’s boss, Kasper “Fat Man” Gutman. His performance as the well-educated but depraved ringleader earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
They Live is a 1988 American science-fiction action thriller film written and directed by John Carpenter. It follows a drifter (Roddy Piper) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media.
The film’s six-minute alley brawl between Keith David and Roddy Piper over a pair of the special sunglasses is on many all-time lists for best fight scenes.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

This rare, genre-bending collection has been nearly unknown since Duke Ellington’s performances over 70 years ago, and was reclaimed by Hoyes through research. With Jackson’s creative approach, a unique blend of jazz quartet and string quartet, this concert promises to inspire music lovers of every persuasion.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: Beat The Devil
When:
Fri, February 28, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
In 1953 the legendary director, John Huston set out to make another picture with his friend and frequent collaborator, Humphrey Bogart and enlisted the help of a fledgling writer by the name of Truman Capote. When it was finished it fell with a flop at the box office. Beat the Devil, however, would eventually live on to reach cult status.
The end result is a comic adventure story that also works as a spoof of Huston’s own work, and is one that clearly cares more about character than plot. Capote’s dialogue, while often patently absurd, is delightful; and the actors, (including marquee stars and veteran character actors alike,) make the most of their parts as they deliver each line with gusto. While the characters (or caricatures) seem as bewildered by the plot as the viewer might be, in the end it doesn’t matter much; everyone seems to be having way too much fun.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

A Weekend with Humphrey and Huston: The Maltese Falcon
When:
Sat, February 29, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
The Maltese Falcon was an enormous success, and as the years have gone by, its reputation has only grown. It is often cited as the first important film in a genre that still resonates with viewers today nearly 80 years later: Film Noir. Audiences at the time reveled in the snappy dialogue as they were taken on a journey through a dark and labyrinthine plot with shadows and fog to match.
The film’s success can be largely attributed to Huston’s meticulous planning. His screenplay took almost all of the film’s dialogue straight from the novel. This gave him more time to sketch out his storyboards. By the time filming started, the actors knew exactly what they were going to say, and the cinematographer knew exactly how each shot was to be framed. The film was essentially made in Huston’s mind before the crew arrived.
Of course, the film wouldn’t have been the same without the universally outstanding performances of its cast. Beyond Humphrey Bogart’s star turn and Mary Astor’s expert take on the scheming femme fatale archetype, Peter Lorre shines as the deceitful lowlife, Joel Cairo. Sydney Greenstreet gives an iconic performance as Cairo’s boss, Kasper “Fat Man” Gutman. His performance as the well-educated but depraved ringleader earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.

Movies at the Senate: They Live
When:
Sat, March 21, 8pm – 10:30pm
Where:
Senate Theater, 6424 Michigan Ave. (just W. of Livernois), Detroit, MI
Description:
They Live is a 1988 American science-fiction action thriller film written and directed by John Carpenter. It follows a drifter (Roddy Piper) who discovers that the ruling class are aliens concealing their appearance and manipulating people to spend money, breed, and accept the status quo with subliminal messages in mass media.
The film’s six-minute alley brawl between Keith David and Roddy Piper over a pair of the special sunglasses is on many all-time lists for best fight scenes.
Doors open at 7pm, Organ Overture at 7:30pm
Free Parking in back off Gilbert Street.
