Sex Unspoken is a podcast dedicated to creating dialogue around sex, hook up culture, sexual assault, and college life. The goal of this podcast is to raise awareness about how to have healthy sexual relationships and also rectify misconceptions about sexual assault. We want to make discussions about and around sex feel more comfortable and less stigmatized. In order to do so, we will be talking about rape culture, hook ups, college sexual experiences, sexual health, and more. This podcast is created and supported by the Tulane University Title IX Office and hosted by Claire Wynne and Maryam Tanveer. Follow us on Instagram at @sexunspoken !

This is Walter Isaacson. In today’s highly-charged political atmosphere, many Americans are searching for common ground…. A place where we can meet as a first step to hearing, appreciating and understanding our shared values and ideals.   To that end, Tulane University and the Aspen Institute have partnered to launch the Values in America Speaker Series. This podcast features the best of those speakers who visit Tulane in New Orleans, as well in-studio interviews with scholars, historians, politicians, and regular Americans, where will dive deep into conversations about our culture. What are the core values of our American culture? Do we still subscribe to the same ideals of our founders? Can these United States still be united under the flag of those ideals…. Liberty, Equality, Democracy? Thank you for asking these questions along with us.

The event, “When America’s Values are Tested: Lessons from Jefferson, Lincoln and other great leaders in the Age of Trump,” featured presidential historian Jon Meacham, and was moderated by Tulane professor of history, Walter Isaacson. Meacham drew on his great biographies and answered a variety of questions from the audience to create an in-depth discussion about the inner strength of America. Read more about the event in the New Wave. Recorded April 19, 2018 at Tulane University in New Orleans.
