Event description:Winner of the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize, Shirin Ebadi reads from her new memoir, Iran Awakening. A law school graduate of Tehran University, Ebadi was the first female judge in her country, serving as president of the Tehran city court from 1975. With the advent of the Islamic republic in 1979, she was forced to resign. She went on to establish a law practice defending intellectuals, the rights of women and children and refugees. With Islam as her starting point, Ebadi is known for promoting peaceful, democratic solutions to serious problems. Presented with Elliott Bay Book Company. Free, no tickets required.

Lisa Randall: Theoretical Physics at Town Hall (05/30 7:30pm to 9:30pm) — over 2 years ago
Erik Benson went to this event.
Event description:Lisa Randall studies particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University, where she is professor of theoretical physics. Her research concerns the fundamental nature of particles and forces and how matter's basic elements relate to the physical properties of the visible world. Prof. Randall has worked on a wide variety of ideas for what might lie beyond established particle physics and cosmological theories, including grand unified theories, supersymmetry, cosmological inflation, baryogenesis, string theory and, most recently, extra dimensions of space. Her new book, Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions, specifically addresses this last idea. Presented with University Book Store.
