Seeing in the Dark: Illicit trades & the Cultivation of Creativity in the Social Sciences
Many illicit trades are outlawed for good reason: they ruin lives and imperil sustainable economic development on massive scales. For that and other reasons, illicit traders and black marketeers often keep their activities in the dark. Dr. Topher McDougal, Professor in Economic Development & Peacebuilding at the Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego, will share and reflect critically on the various methods for detecting, quantifying, and characterizing clandestine economic activity that are covered in his new book project, Seeing in the Dark.
And here's the Zoom link for anyone who wants to attend online:

Passcode: 375172Sunday Assembly San Diego is an inclusive, non-religious community that meets to hear inspirational talks, connect for service projects, sing songs and generally celebrate life. Assemblies are free to attend, and everyone is welcome. AND!! Free child care for ages 1.5 and up is available at every Assembly.
Some of the best community time is staying after the assembly for coffee, snacks and to hang out with other assemblers, so please do. AND!! We have a lunch event after the assembly as well: Pasta La Vista, Baby. It's a horrible pun, but hopefully good eats. Please RSVP for that separately here.
The Bankers Hill Club features an accessible facility, including accessible parking spots and bathrooms.
- Group Guided Meditation at Dharma Bum TempleDharma Bum Temple, San Diego, CA
Meditation is an evidence-supported method for improving mental wellbeing, especially during and after times of crisis. Whether you're an experienced meditator or someone who actively avoids it, please join us in an accessible, simple guided meditation at the Dharma Bum Temple.
The meditation leader will give a short intro, and then gently lead us in breathing together. Following a 20 minute-ish meditation, the guide will take questions. The guide may answer those questions from a humanist or a Buddhist perspective, and we are all welcome to leave or stay for that Q & A. Attendees will be: people who just want help focusing or feeling more centered; people who feel comfort in sitting with others; people who are in substance misuse recovery; and/or who are just curious. In short, anyone who wants to attend. Like you.
There is parking at the school admin parking lot across the street, it being after hours, and there is some street parking. People entering the temple are encouraged to remove their shoes, so please consider bringing socks for your comfort and temperature regulation. Also, the temple is a non-profit, so if you appreciate your experience and can swing it, please bring some cash for the box on the wall in the back.
The Dharma Bum Temple has nearby bus stops on the 1, 11, and 215 bus lines, and you can plan your route here. If you'd like to catch a ride with another attendee, please leave a comment below and hopefully a driver will volunteer.
