[Daniel Lake]

 The Institute for Ethics in Public Life and the Department of Political
Science are pleased to welcome Dr. Amy Schiller to campus to discuss her
new book on the politics of philanthropy,* The Price of Humanity
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720859/the-price-of-humanity-by-amy-schiller/&sa=D&source=calendar&ust=1699354044820429&usg=AOvVaw0eLPle9D4jjK181H878QeB>*.
Philanthropy brought us the Statue of Liberty via the first crowdfunding
campaign, as well as gardens, hospitals, and museums. At the same time,
philanthropy often legitimizes injustice and reinforces the power of the
wealthy. Spanning the ancient world of St. Augustine to some of the most
influential donors of today, *The Price of Humanity* confronts
philanthropy's contradictions and proposes a vision for how it can fulfill
its meaning, "love of humanity."

Dr. Amy Schiller is a journalist, academic, and consultant. She is
currently a postdoctoral fellow at Dartmouth College in the Society of
Fellows. She previously held fellowships at Stanford University and Bard
College. Her writing has been published in*The Washington Post, The
Atlantic, The Nation*, and *The Daily Beast*, among others. She has also
had a 15-year career in major gift fundraising consulting in a wide range
of settings, from a major New York City dance company to international
humanitarian nonprofits.

Joining Dr. Schiller to discuss her book are:

Ms. Anne Hansen, Vice-President for Institutional Advancement at SUNY
Plattsburgh, Dr. Colin Read, Professor of Economics and Finance, and Dr.
John McMahon, Associate Professor of Political Science.

This event will be held in the Mowry Conference Room, Redcay 130, on
Thursday, November 16 at 5pm.
