Oliver Rathkolb in conversation with Michael Ignatieff HUMAN RIGHTS AT 75: END TIMES OR REBIRTH? 75 Years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948, is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by Representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, it set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. In their talk at Bruno Kreisky Forum, Oliver Rathkolb and Michael Ignatieff will debate whether human rights have a future in a world where the international order is in tatters, violence has inflamed the Middle East, and Ukraine struggles to repel an invasion.  A rebirth of moral universalism, a commitment to the equality of peoples and nations, has never been more urgent, but is it possible?   Michael Ignatieff served as President and Rector of the Central European University between 2016 and 2021. He now is a professor in CEU's history department. An international commentator on contemporary issues of democracy, human rights, and governance and a Canadian citizen, Ignatieff is also an award-winning writer, teacher, former politician, and historian with a deep knowledge of Central and Eastern Europe.

Princeton professor and author Keith Whittington joins Tim to talk about the current state of free speech, or not-so-free-speech on the American college campus. Keith has a long resume of accomplishments, including the authoring of the award-winning book, “Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech.” But in this episode, we talk about Keith's role in the formation of a new and already growing organization that champions freedom of speech called the Academic Freedom Alliance (AFA). https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_How_Free_is_Speech_on_Americas_College_Campus.mp3 There is a growing fear on college campuses among professors and instructors that they could say or do the smallest thing and it could ruin their careers. They could be canceled for using the wrong story or word to illustrate a point while teaching a class. Something they say or do could be perceived by some students as a triggering factor – something that could trigger some negative emotion that hinders learning. If you follow the news, or just do a quick Google search, you'll find stories where educators, or the colleges themselves, were called out by students for perceived lack of sensitivity to certain issues. It's stories like those that have created a growing concern among educators that something has to be done to turn the tide. They're concerned that students and others may have the wrong idea about what a college education is supposed to be about. That college is a place to challenge yourself and be challenged. To investigate, analyze and expose yourself to different ways of thinking, diverse schools of thought. And above all, not to fear such exposure or see it as something to be protected from. It's with this in mind, that Professor Keith Whittington of Princeton, and more than 200 other scholars from across America decided to form the AFA.  Keith says the AFA is dedicated to helping college educators, quote – “speak, instruct, and publish without fear of sanction, bullying, punishment or persecution.” Links Keith Whittington's Princeton Home Page The Academic Freedom Alliance: A Q&A with Keith Whittington, Academe Blog Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech, by Keith Whittington (Barnes & Noble) Fresh Hope for Campus Free Speech, New York Post/AP About this Episode's Guest Keith Whittington Keith E.

Between 1918 and 1921, over a hundred thousand Jews were murdered in Ukraine by peasants, townsmen, and soldiers who blamed the Jews for the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. In hundreds of separate incidents, ordinary people robbed their Jewish neighbors with impunity, burned down their houses, ripped apart their Torah scrolls, sexually assaulted them, and killed them. Largely forgotten today, these pogroms—ethnic riots—dominated headlines and international affairs in their time. Aid workers warned that six million Jews were in danger of complete extermination. Twenty years later, these dire predictions would come true. Drawing upon long-neglected archival materials, including thousands of newly discovered witness testimonies, trial records, and official orders, acclaimed historian Jeffrey Veidlinger shows for the first time how this wave of genocidal violence created the conditions for the Holocaust. Through stories of survivors, perpetrators, aid workers, and governmental officials, he explains how so many different groups of people came to the same conclusion: that killing Jews was an acceptable response to their various problems.

New Books in Genocide Studies

Between 1918 and 1921, over a hundred thousand Jews were murdered in Ukraine by peasants, townsmen, and soldiers who blamed the Jews for the turmoil of the Russian Revolution. In hundreds of separate incidents, ordinary people robbed their Jewish neighbors with impunity, burned down their houses, ripped apart their Torah scrolls, sexually assaulted them, and killed them. Largely forgotten today, these pogroms—ethnic riots—dominated headlines and international affairs in their time. Aid workers warned that six million Jews were in danger of complete extermination. Twenty years later, these dire predictions would come true. Drawing upon long-neglected archival materials, including thousands of newly discovered witness testimonies, trial records, and official orders, acclaimed historian Jeffrey Veidlinger shows for the first time how this wave of genocidal violence created the conditions for the Holocaust. Through stories of survivors, perpetrators, aid workers, and governmental officials, he explains how so many different groups of people came to the same conclusion: that killing Jews was an acceptable response to their various problems. In riveting prose, In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The Pogroms of 1918-1921 and the Onset of the Holocaust (Metropolitan Books, 2021) repositions the pogroms as a defining moment of the twentieth century. Jeffrey Veidlinger is Joseph Brodsky Collegiate Professor of History and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan.

When things happen in my life like this I always wonder if God is trying to send me a message. Either way we talked more about hydrogen than brown's gas in this particular show but it was still loads of fun. Tyler likes to get really into the science so we really broke down what happens in the body when a person drinks or inhales molecular hydrogen. We also discussed deuterium, tritium and other isotopes and how they impact the mitochondria. The whole ideas is to not just create more ATP with the mitochondria we have, but also how can we actually create more mitochondria and get those new mitochondria operating properly and create energy in the cell. So lots to discuss here. How can we keep more mitochondria, how can we improve the electron transport chain to be able to create 4th stage water, better utilize oxygen and also create more ATP? If we can answer those questions and solve those problems, my believe is that we can extend lifespan by many many decades. The name of the game when it comes to health is ATP production and having healthy mitochondrial energy to deal with oxygen. When we do that, we live longer, healthier disease free lives.

If you've been following the seemingly endless battles on college campuses over free speech, you may have noticed that professors are a frequent target of censorship and complaint. Sometimes this because students object to curriculum and sometimes the infraction is as trivial as a professor sending a a "problematic" tweet. The recently launched Academic Freedom Alliance seeks to help educators navigate these waters. Its chair, constitutional law scholar and political science professor Keith Whittington, is Meghan's guest this week. Keith talked why an organization like the AFA is so necessary right now, how academia has changed over the course of his career, and why it's important to remember that speech suppressions comes from the political right as well as the activist left. He also talked about why professors are often inclined to apologize or try to explain themselves when that's often the worst thing you can do when you the mob comes after you.    Guest bio:   Keith Whittington is a Professor of Politics at Princeton University, and Chair of the Academic Committee of the Academic Freedom Alliance. He writes about American constitutional law, politics and history and American political thought. He is the author of several books, including Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech.

They could be canceled for using the wrong story or word to illustrate a point while teaching a class. Something they say or do could be perceived by some students as a triggering factor – something that could trigger some negative emotion that hinders learning. If you follow the news, or just do a quick Google search, you'll find stories where educators, or the colleges themselves, were called out by students for perceived lack of sensitivity to certain issues. It's stories like those that have created a growing concern among educators that something has to be done to turn the tide. They're concerned that students and others may have the wrong idea about what a college education is supposed to be about. That college is a place to challenge yourself and be challenged. To investigate, analyze and expose yourself to different ways of thinking, diverse schools of thought. And above all, not to fear such exposure or see it as something to be protected from. It's with this in mind, that Professor Keith Whittington of Princeton, and more than 200 other scholars from across America decided to form the AFA.  Keith says the AFA is dedicated to helping college educators, quote - “speak, instruct, and publish without fear of sanction, bullying, punishment or persecution.” Links Keith Whittington's Princeton Home Page The Academic Freedom Alliance: A Q&A with Keith Whittington, Academe Blog Speak Freely: Why Universities Must Defend Free Speech, by Keith Whittington (Barnes & Noble) Fresh Hope for Campus Free Speech, New York Post/AP About this Episode's Guest Keith Whittington Keith E.

Why would students hesitate to attend traditional colleges remotely? What are the unexpected disadvantages of pausing education? What are the unexpected benefits of a semester (or more) of college online? Why is work not a feasible alternative for most college students? How can schools signal that they are ready to offer a rich online education? MEET OUR GUEST Tim Lear’s career in education began in 1996 at Brewster Academy, where he learned that a) New Hampshire is really cold during the winter and b) working at a boarding school means teaching on Saturdays. Realizing that a day-school in NJ was perhaps a better fit for him, he joined the faculty at Oak Knoll, where he remained for 10-years. At Oak Knoll, Tim served as an English teacher in grades 9-12 and coached five Varsity sports.  In 2003, Tim was named the Director of College Counseling, and in 2007 he joined his alma mater, The Pingry School, where he has served as its College Director for the past 13-years.

There’s something that you’re going to get to know about me pretty fast listening to this show:  water and hydrogen EXCITE ME! Weird? Maybe. But we could all benefit from learning a little bit more about hydrogen. Hydrogen is one of the BEST immune modulators. As we know, all disease is related to inflammation and modulating inflammation is essential for thriving in this modern world.  Today, we’re talking to someone who is trying to change that, and who can teach us what we DO know about the clinical benefits of molecular hydrogen: Tyler W. LeBaron, the Founder and Executive Director of the Molecular Hydrogen Institute (MHI), a science-based nonprofit focused on advancing the research, education, and awareness of hydrogen as a potential therapeutic medical gas. Tyler was a 1-year Adjunct Instructor of Physiology, and interned at Nagoya University in the department of Neurogenetics to research the molecular mechanisms of hydrogen gas on cell signaling pathways. He is a director of the International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) and the International Molecular Hydrogen Association (IMHA). He speaks at Medical conferences in the US for doctors CMEs/CEUs, and at academic biomedical hydrogen symposia and conferences around the world. He is also a member of the Academic Committee of Taishan Institute for Hydrogen Biomedical Research. He collaborates with researchers at home and abroad, and helps advance the education, research, and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas. Which is really just a long way of saying that Tyler might actually be MORE obsessed with hydrogen than I am! And he just has so much education and insight to share about how molecular hydrogen interacts with our bodies and how we can start taking advantage of molecular hydrogen to regulate inflammation, minimize oxidation, and facilitate hydration.

To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the China in the World podcast, Paul Haenle is interviewing five of the most respected Chinese international affairs scholars to discuss this important inflection point in U.S.-China relations. For the fourth episode in this series, Haenle spoke with Shi Yinhong, Director of the American Studies Institute at Renmin University and Director of the Academic Committee of the School of International Relations. Shi pointed to two important turning points in China’s foreign policy shift to a more assertive international approach. The first was the global financial crisis stressed the importance of China’s economic development as an engine for global growt. The second was Xi’s rise to power and a more ambitious international approach. Shi said China undertook a number of new foreign policy initiative in the South China Sea, relations with Russia, and the Belt and Road Initiative. China is now at a stage where it should assess the successes and failures of its recent foreign policies. Beijing must be willing to be flexible and adjust its future international engagement to reflect the realities of the evolving geopolitical environment. At home, Chinese policymakers should implement much more broad and deep reforms to ensure stable economic and financial systems. This includes areas increasing market access, giving equal treatment to private and state owned enterprises, and addressing core demands laid out in the USTR section 301 report. Time is running out, Shi argued, and China needs to act quickly before implementing further economic reforms becomes too difficult. In the current contentious US-China relationship, Shi said prudent pessimists are needed to think through urgent resolutions and save the bilateral relationship from continuing down a dangerous path.

They discuss some of the promise that drinking hydrogen-rich water is showing for Parkinson’s patients and in other brain injury therapies. They consider how the intake of molecular hydrogen aids in ATP production and mitochondrial function. Free radicals can cause damage to your cells, and molecular hydrogen can act as a signaling molecule to upregulate your body to better manage oxidative stress. Our body needs oxidative power and reductive power in balance, and molecular hydrogen can help bring you back to homeostasis.   Hydrogen also helps modulates the system that causes inflammation, which is a major cause of aging. LeBaron suggests how and when to get hydrogen into your system and offers some warnings about products on the market. Dr. Gladden talks about some of the ways he uses molecular hydrogen with his patients at Apex.   They also discuss the benefits of being in a “flow state” in your life, during work or working out.

Molecular hydrogen (H2) or diatomic hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, flammable gas. Over 500 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate hydrogen to have therapeutic potential in essentially every organ of the human body and in 150 different human disease models.
