NAArtsEntertainmentAthleticsMedia KriegerSchoolofArtsSciences HopkinsatHome December 05, December 5, Thursday• Featuring Marshall Meyer, PhD candidate •• Presented by Hopkins at Home •Join us for a virtual discussion on the rise of therapy in television storytelling.Over the past twenty years, television has experienced a surge in series that use therapy sessions as a key narrative device. This trend, largely popularized by The Sopranos, has since spread across genres, with shows like In Treatment dedicating entire episodes to a single session. Even innovative series like Fleabag bring a confessional tone, breaking the fourth wall to deepen the connection between character and viewer. Marshall Meyer suggests that television and therapy share a natural affinity—both unfold in episodes or sessions with time in between, capturing the complexity and continuity of the therapeutic process. Join us as we explore how this dynamic not only makes therapy a prevalent theme in TV but also hints at television’s own therapeutic potential.Disclaimer: The perspectives and opinions expressed by the speaker(s) during this program are those of the speaker(s) and not, necessarily, those of Johns Hopkins University and the scheduling of any speaker at an alumni event or program does not constitute the University’s endorsement of the speaker’s perspectives and opinions.JHAA Event Cancellation and Refund Policy television-therapy

NA KriegerSchoolofArtsSciences HopkinsatHome December 16, December 16, Mondayhopkins at home, jane austen, literature• Featuring Evelyne Ender, Senior Lecturer, Department of Comparative Thought and Literature • • Presented by Hopkins at Home • In advance of the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth in 2025, join Dr. Evelyne Ender, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Comparative Thought and Literature, for a presentation of the author's fiction in terms of its brilliant and touching humanity. The lecture will illuminate Austen’s portrait of human relations, a world shaped by live dialogue, but also staged and modulated by the circulation of letters. The preparatory materials for this presentation will direct you to scenes from her novels that highlight the significance of letters and literacy in Austen's world. These moments enable us to reflect on the historical and cultural significance of that old fashioned gesture that consists in putting pen to paper. Dr. Ender's many articles and book chapters, published in English and in French, are indeed driven by one conviction, namely that an ever-renewed attentiveness to what words and language(s) can tell us is key to our humanity. Holding a pen or pencil to generate script may seem quaint, but in a world enthralled by electronic communications and devices, it may be salutary at times not only to slow down but to be reminded of the weight that words carry -- for good and for evil. Should one wish to delve deeper, a curated list of short readings and film scenes from Prof. Ender will be provided to registrants prior to the event. This is purely optional, of course, but certain to delight those in search of additional insights! Enter our drawing to win a beautiful set of two Hopkins at Home Blue Jay tea cups, inspired by Jane Austen and celebrating your love for lifelong learning! jane-austens-magic
