Discussion: Dr. Holmes and Dr. Weiss discuss the John Hopkins and current Duke University studies on neuroinflammation and the brain, with specifics on the impact on the autistic brain. Dr. Weiss shares his personal story of stem-cell treatment and the impact on his young adult son with autism who went from having a few words at the age of 23 to living independently. Dr. Eric Weiss is a leader in advanced regenerative medicine and the co-author of Educating Marston. Founder of the North Florida Stem Cells Clinic, Dr. Weiss provides stem cell replacement therapy to treat various conditions such as Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), with a special focus on the treatment of Autism. Dr. Weiss co-wrote Educating Marston with his wife, Christine Weiss, as a memoir of their journey through programs and therapies to improve the quality of life of their autistic son, Marston. Trying seemingly everything under the sun, nothing clicked until they discovered stem cell replacement therapy in conjunction with intensive work at programs like the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. Once with limited verbal communication abilities, Marston can now hold a conversation and do so much more. With Educating Marston, Dr. Weiss is on a mission to help fellow parents of children on the autism spectrum and spread the word about stem cell replacement therapy as a treatment therapy for autism. Dr. Weiss and Educating Marston have been featured on local and national outlets including LA Weekly, Life & Style, Wake Up with Marci, and more. A graduate of Duke University Medical School, Dr. Weiss completed his general surgery residency in the University of California system and a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery residency at the University of Miami. Board certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (American Board of Plastic Surgery), Dr. Weiss is also a Fellow (FACS) in the American College of Surgeons, Diplomate of the National Board of Medical Examiners, Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Greater Jacksonville Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and a volunteer with “Hands Healing Hearts,” which makes annual medical missions to South America to perform reconstructive surgery on patients with birth defects. Dr. Weiss lives with his wife Christine in sunny Jacksonville, Florida.  Buy the Book HereEducating Marston WebsiteNorth Florida Stem Cells WebsiteMedical Daily Article 

What questions do you have about GLP-1 medications and weight loss? In this episode of Back on Track: Achieving Healthy Weight Loss, I'm doing something a little different. I'm answering five real questions that viewers have left on my YouTube videos and social media about weight loss medications. I'll talk about whether you can take Contrave with a GLP-1, whether GLP-1 medications are an option if you have hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, and whether it's safe to increase your dose faster if you aren't experiencing side effects. I'll also explain what to do if you need to change your injection day or miss a dose, and how to think about calorie intake when you're trying to lose weight. These are questions I hear frequently, and I want to give you a better understanding of the issues to discuss with your own healthcare provider. This podcast is for education only, and because I don't know your individual medical history, it's important to talk with your own doctor about what's right for you. Episode Highlights: Can Contrave can be taken with a GLP-1 How Contrave may help with hunger, cravings, and food noise GLP-1 medications and hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease Which thyroid conditions are contraindications for GLP-1 medications Why I recommend starting at a low dose and increasing slowly How I decide when it may be time for a patient to increase their dose What to do if you need to change your GLP-1 injection day What happens if you miss a GLP-1 dose Why eating too little can work against your weight-loss efforts How the NIH Body Weight Planner can help you determine your calorie needs Why fueling your body with balanced meals is important during weight loss And this is just Part 1. In Part 2 of Ask the Obesity Doctor, I'll answer more questions about GLP-1 safety, compounded and counterfeit medications, black-market peptides, medication interactions, side effects, and "Ozempic face." If you're using a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or simply have questions about weight loss medications, I hope these answers help you have a more informed conversation with your healthcare provider.

Confidence & Conflict | Limitless Leaders Edition: S16 Ep86Hosted by: Courtney Collins, MDGuest Speakers: Danielle LeBlanc, MD; Melinda Kimbrel, MD; Mindy Haws, MD; Caroline Glicksman, MDEpisode SummaryWhat does it really mean to be a resilient leader in surgery?In this episode of the Limitless Leaders Podcast Series, a panel of accomplished women surgeons comes together for a candid conversation about confidence, conflict, resilience, and leadership. They reflect on their own paths into surgery, the challenges women continue to face in the profession, and the experiences that have shaped how they lead today. The conversation explores the sometimes-fine line between confidence and arrogance, including the importance of humility, honesty, data, and being willing to acknowledge complications and learn from them. The panelists also discuss the value of having trusted colleagues who will offer perspective, advice, and support during difficult cases and challenging moments. They share candid lessons about navigating surgical complications, including why leaning into a complication rather than avoiding it can strengthen both patient relationships and professional growth.  The discussion also touches on career setbacks, family responsibilities, changing priorities, and recognizing that a successful career doesn't have to follow one timeline. Ultimately, the panel challenges the idea that leadership requires a title. Whether you're mentoring a student, leading an OR team, serving on a committee, supporting a colleague, or helping develop the next generation of surgeons, leadership happens in everyday moments—and its impact is often measured by who you help succeed after you. In this episode, you'll hear about: building resilience through difficult moments, handling complications with honesty and accountability, navigating conflict and expectations, developing confidence without losing humility, balancing career and family priorities, the power of mentorship and peer support, and finding meaningful ways to lead at every stage of your career.The Limitless Leaders Podcast Series celebrates and empowers women leaders in surgery through honest conversations, shared experiences, mentorship, and lessons learned along the way. Allergan AestheticsAdvancing aesthetic medicine.

One month into the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program, I've learned that getting approved is less complicated once you understand the pathway. But there are several important details that can cause delays if you don't know what to look for. In this episode, I walk you through what I've learned from helping patients navigate the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge during its first month. We cover who qualifies, which medications and formulations are included, when you may need to use Medicare Part D instead, and what your doctor, pharmacy, and you need to do to keep the process moving. I'll also explain why your current BMI may not be the BMI that matters, why the pharmacy claim needs to happen before the prior authorization, and why staying engaged with both your pharmacy and doctor's office can make a difference. And once you actually get your medication, I shift the conversation to what you should be doing to maximize your results, including getting adequate protein, moving your body, strength training, and staying engaged with your medical team. If you're trying to navigate the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program for yourself or a loved one, this episode will help you understand the process and the questions you need to ask. Episode Highlights: ● What the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge program is and how it differs from Medicare Part D ● The three main eligibility pathways for the Bridge program ● Why your BMI when you started GLP-1 therapy may matter more than your current BMI ● When certain medical conditions may require you to use the regular Medicare Part D pathway ● Why having eligible Medicare Part D coverage matters ● Which GLP-1 medications and formulations are included in the Bridge program ● Why the correct Zepbound formulation matters ● What your pharmacy needs from your Medicare information ● Why the pharmacy claim needs to happen before the prior authorization ● How to follow up when your prescription seems stuck in the process ● What to focus on once you actually receive your medication ● Why protein, exercise, strength training, and medical follow-up remain important ● What we currently know about what happens when the Bridge program ends   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

"Role of biochar made from low-value woody forest residues in ecological sustainability and carbon neutrality" with Dipita Ghosh. Forest debris can clutter forests, squelch healthy growth, and increase the risks of dangerous wildfires, but open burning these residues can be just as problematic, with increased greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and, that's right, wildfire risks. Turning forest debris into biochar instead can alleviate a lot of these problems while increasing soil health in degraded regions, but to what degree is biochar useful and how can we get it where it needs to go? In this episode, Dipita joins me to discuss her work on all things biochar. If you would like more information about this topic, this episode's paper is available here: https://doi.org/10.1002/saj2.20793 This paper will be freely available for the next two weeks.

CardioNerds (Drs. Dr. Natalie Marrero, Dr. Ritika Tuli, and Dr. Rafael Toro Manotas) discuss multimodality imaging for risk stratification, evaluation, and management of chronic coronary artery disease with Dr. Panithaya Chareonthaitawee. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern Iman Razeghian. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Taussig under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Natalie Marrero and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. This discussion was planned in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course. In this episode, we discuss the pathophysiology and risk stratification of chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as the current landscape of non-invasive evaluation of this condition. CAD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease. The concept of chronic CAD has shifted from the traditional model of stable, obstructive, flow-limiting disease, toward the current understanding of a dynamic process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial lesions to include non-obstructive plaque, diffuse atherosclerosis, and microvascular disease. Similarly, the imaging modalities used to evaluate CAD have evolved, and clinicians now have an extensive menu of options, each with distinct advantages and limitations, that must be selected carefully to maximize diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment guidance, while also considering resource availability, local expertise, and high-value care. By the end of the episode, listeners will understand the pathophysiology of chronic CAD, risk-stratify patients with suspected CAD, recognize the advantages and pitfalls of each non-invasive diagnostic modality, and select the most appropriate diagnostic tool for a given clinical scenario. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls: Chronic CAD is a complex process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial stenosis to include non-obstructive disease, dynamic plaque burden and ischemia, diffuse atherosclerosis, microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, among others. When evaluating patients with suspected CAD, the diagnostic process should be guided by a specific and appropriate clinical question before ordering any tests. The current diagnostic tool arsenal is broadly divided into anatomic and functional imaging modalities. These are complementary, each with distinct properties and limitations, addressing different clinical questions and assessing different aspects of disease. Local availability and expertise, along with patient-specific considerations and contraindications, determine the choice of diagnostic modality. No single test is best for every patient. INOCA and coronary microvascular dysfunction represent a common and increasingly recognized entity that is diagnosable and treatable; initial evaluation includes non-invasive testing such as stress PET and stress CMR.

Summit night on Kilimanjaro started at 11:40pm in complete darkness, with nothing but a headlamp and the next step in front of me. Nine hours later, I reached the roof of Africa. If you've ever felt like your health journey is moving backward before it moves forward, this episode is for you. In this part two finale, I'm sharing the final four lessons from my Kilimanjaro climb: why progress sometimes means going higher before you go lower, why trusting the process matters  before you see results, how I made it through the hardest section by focusing on just 15 steps at a time, and why reaching the summit is only half the journey. Weight loss isn't linear, and neither is life. Your scale, your habits, your body, they're all adapting in ways you can't always measure. Setbacks aren't failures, they're often part of the process. You'll learn how to stop chasing dramatic results, trust the small steps in front of you, and understand why maintaining your progress is just as important as reaching it.   Episode Highlights: Lesson five: why sometimes progress means climbing higher before sleeping lower Why weight loss isn't linear, and how to stop mistaking a plateau for failure Lesson six: trusting the process before you can see the results Lesson seven: the 15 steps, 5 breaths strategy that got me to the summit Why focusing only on the next step matters more than seeing the whole mountain Lesson eight: why reaching the summit is only half the journey What descent and maintenance have in common, and why both take just as much intention Why the life you want is built through ordinary, repeated choices, not one dramatic moment   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Over a week ago, I stood at 19,341 feet on the roof of Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, harder than any Ironman or marathon. But somewhere between the rainforest and the summit, I realized I wasn't just climbing a mountain. I was watching my patients' weight loss journeys play out in front of me. In this episode, I'm sharing the first four lessons Kilimanjaro taught me about health, resilience, and what it actually takes to accomplish something hard. From the invisible prep work no one applauds, to why "pole pole" (slowly) is the secret to going further, this episode reframes what progress really looks like. Your summit isn't built in one dramatic moment. It's built in thousands of small, unglamorous decisions, the walk after dinner, the water instead of soda, the appointment you finally book. You'll learn why plateaus and slow progress aren't failures, why community and encouragement matter as much as calories, and why the hardest and most important step is simply saying yes. Episode Highlights: Why the journey begins long before the mountain, or the diet, ever starts The invisible decisions behind every success story nobody sees Lesson two: why "pole pole" (slowly) is the pace that actually gets you there Why our culture's obsession with fast results works against how bodies really change Lesson three: why encouragement on the journey matters as much as the plan itself Lesson four: why saying yes before you feel ready is the hardest and most important step Why no single meal, workout, or medication changes your life, consistency does The one question to ask yourself this week to keep moving forward Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

The Future of Inflammation Resolution In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal welcome Harvard researcher Dr. Charles Serhan to discuss resolution medicine, a groundbreaking field focused on activating the body's natural inflammation-resolving mechanisms. Dr. Serhan explains how specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), derived from omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, actively resolve inflammation rather than simply suppressing it. This show offers promising new strategies for treating chronic inflammatory diseases. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial Guest Bio: Prof. Charles Nicholas Serhan, PhD, DSc is the Simon Gelman Professor of Anaesthesia (Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology) at Harvard Medical School and Professor of Oral Medicine, Infection and Immunity at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.

     Peter Berkowitz analyzes the work of Professor Patrick Deneen, who argues that liberal democracy is a "curse" that has atomized American society. Deneen presents contradictory accounts of whether liberalism was a founding principle or a 20th-century imposition. He advocates for a "regime change" toward a pre-liberal order that prioritizes biblical faith and classical virtue over individual rights. Berkowitz notes that Deneen's ideas have influenced figures like Vice President JD Vance, who has publicly endorsed Deneen's work. The critique suggests that Machiavellian means and state coercion may be necessary to restore a Christian foundation to the nation. (6)

Interview: Dr. Ozoemena: Welcome to today's podcast where we will be discussing an important health topic in a way that's easy to understand. I'm your host, Dr. Ozoemena. Today we're talking about Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT, a condition that affects thousands of people each year and can sometimes lead to serious complications if not recognized early. Joining us today is Dr. Okojie, a 3rd year Family Medicine Resident Physician. Thank you for being here today, Doctor. Dr. Okojie: Thank you for having me. I'm excited to discuss this important topic. What is DVT? Dr. Ozoemena: Let's start with the basics. What exactly is Deep Vein Thrombosis? Dr. Okojie: Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT, occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins of the body, most commonly in the legs. Normally, blood flows smoothly through our veins, but sometimes a clot can develop and block that flow. The biggest concern is that part of the clot can break off and travel to the lungs. This is called pulmonary embolism, which can be a medical emergency. Why Should People Know About DVT? Dr. Ozoemena: Why is it important for the public to be aware of DVT? Dr. Okojie: DVT is more common than many people realize. The symptoms can sometimes be mild or mistaken for other conditions. Early recognition is important because prompt treatment can prevent serious complications and improve outcomes. Many cases are preventable, especially when people understand the risk factors. Who Is at Risk? Dr. Ozoemena: Who is more likely to develop blood clots? Dr. Okojie: Several factors can increase the risk of DVT. These include: {Discuss Virchow triad: VEH - Venous stasis, Endothelial injury and Hypercoagulability} Being inactive for long periods, such as during long flights or car rides Recent surgery or hospitalization Cancer  Pregnancy and the weeks after childbirth Smoking Obesity A History of clotting disorders It's important to remember that having a risk factor doesn't mean someone will definitely develop a clot, but it does increase the chances. What Are the Symptoms? Dr. Ozoemena: What symptoms should people watch for? Dr. Okojie: The most common symptoms occur in one leg and may include: Swelling Pain or tenderness Warmth in the affected area Redness or discoloration of the skin Some people describe the pain as a cramp that doesn't go away. When Does It Become an Emergency? Dr. Ozoemena: You mentioned that a clot can travel to the lungs. What warning signs should prompt someone to seek emergency care? Dr. Okojie: That's a very important question. People should seek immediate medical attention if they experience: Sudden shortness of breath Chest pain, especially when taking a deep breath Rapid heartbeat Dizziness or fainting Coughing up blood These symptoms could indicate a pulmonary embolism, which requires urgent treatment. How Is DVT Diagnosed? Dr. Ozoemena: If someone visits their doctor with symptoms, how is DVT diagnosed? Dr. Okojie: The healthcare provider will first ask about symptoms and medical history. The most common test is the ultrasound of the leg. It's painless, noninvasive, and allows us to see whether blood flow is blocked by a clot. Sometimes a blood test called a D-dimer is also used to help determine whether further testing is needed. How Is DVT Treated? Dr. Ozoemena: Once a clot is diagnosed, what treatment options are available? Dr. Okojie: The primary treatment is medication known as anticoagulants for those with contraindications to anticoagulants, IVC filter is recommended These medications help prevent the clot from growing larger and reduce the risk of new clots forming. Treatment usually continues for at least several months, although the exact duration depends on the individual's situation and risk factors. Most patients do very well when treatment starts promptly. Can DVT Be Prevented? Dr. Ozoemena: That's encouraging. What can people do to reduce their risks? Dr. Okojie: There are several practical steps: Stay physically active Take walking breaks during long trips Stay well hydrated Maintain a healthy weight Avoid smoking Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations after surgery or hospitalization Common Misconceptions Dr. Ozoemena: Are there any common myths about DVT that you'd like to address? Dr. Okojie: One common misconception is that blood clots only affect older adults. While risk increases with age, DVT can occur in younger adults as well, especially if they have risk factors such as recent surgery, pregnancy, certain medications, or inherited clotting disorders. Another misconception is that leg swelling is always harmless. Persistent swelling, especially in one leg, should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Key Take-Home Messages Dr. Ozoemena: Before we wrap up, what are the most important messages you'd like listeners to remember? Dr. Okojie: I'd emphasize three key points: First, know the symptoms—swelling, pain, warmth, and redness in one leg. Second, understand your personal risk factors, especially after surgery, hospitalization, long travel, or during pregnancy. And third, seek medical attention promptly if you have symptoms of DVT or signs of pulmonary embolism, such as sudden shortness of breath or chest pain. Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Dr. Okojie: Thank you for having me. I hope today's discussion helps listeners better understand DVT and recognize when to seek medical care. Dr. Ozoemena: And thank you to our listeners for joining us today. Remember, this podcast is intended for educational purposes and should not replace advice from your healthcare provider. Until next time, stay informed, stay healthy, and take care. This is Rio Bravo qWeek… signing off! Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

“Democracy didn't fall out of the sky. It was earned. It was created, and it was made manifest through protest.” — Gloria Browne-Marshall Yesterday, Casey Michel described a United States of Oligarchy where the wealthy cosy up to dictators and destroy democracy. Today, Gloria Browne-Marshall describes a parallel America. In A Protest History of the United States, she explores 500 years of profound protest to what Michel coins the banality of the deal. If Casey Michel described the few who own the country, then Gloria Browne-Marshall chronicles the many who made it. Her thesis is that a nation born of protest has been protesting with itself ever since. So Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence while owning the teenaged Sally Hemings. Democracy is protest's child, not its parent. Rather than just falling out of the sky, she argues, American democracy was earned by protesters like her great hero, Daisy Bates, the Little Rock organizer whose mother was murdered by a white mob. So where's the protest now? “Too many people have outsourced their sense of outrage,” Gloria Browne-Marshall argues. Thus our Covid silos and the capitulating law firms. Her prescription for this malaise is, of course, to get out on the streets. She reminds us that the anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, with its quarter of a million protesters, is coming up at the end of the month. So it's been done before. And will be done again. The United States of protest rather than of oligarchy. That's who we are. Sometimes, at least. Five Takeaways •       A Nation in Protest with Itself. America was born of protest — the Declaration itself was a protest document — and has argued with itself ever since: the empire builder rolling over the rights of others on one side, liberty-and-justice-for-all on the other. Jefferson embodies the conflict: theorist of protest, author of the Declaration, slaveholder at Monticello with the teenaged Sally Hemings. And the artists matter as much as the marchers, Browne-Marshall argues, in a hand-off from Monday's Curtis White conversation: the Depression photographs that moved a government, The Grapes of Wrath doing what no pamphlet could — art brings the humanity of the issue to the fore.•       Democracy Didn't Fall Out of the Sky. Asked about the d-word, Browne-Marshall answers that she expected it to be dissent. Democracy came by way of protest: the workers, the women, the marginalized earned rights nobody was volunteering to hand over. Vernon Dahmer was burned alive in his Mississippi home in 1966 — in a democracy — for trying to vote; Seneca Falls in 1848 became the Nineteenth Amendment only in 1920. The Voting Rights Act gave nobody the vote; it protected a right people were dying to use. And protest's victories hide in plain sight: the end of mandatory retirement at 65, disabled children in mainstream classrooms — all of it protested into existence.•       January 6 and the Meaning of Nonviolence. Is January 6 a protest? Yes, she allows — a protest with criminal consequences, like any protest that turns violent; rob a bank and call it a protest against poverty and the consequences still arrive. Nonviolence, meanwhile, is the most misunderstood word in the American vocabulary: a philosophy — Gandhi to Bayard Rustin to King — in which protesters will not strike back even when attacked. It is not a standard that applies only to Black protesters while the actual violence, historically, comes from those attacking them. January 6, with its gallows, its ransacked offices, and its hunted officials, was many things; nonviolent protest it was not.•       No Pension Fund: Daisy Bates. Browne-Marshall's favorite figure in the book: the Little Rock organizer who learned at nine that the woman raising her was not her mother — her mother had been murdered by a white mob and thrown in the pond where Daisy swam as a child. She guided the Little Rock Nine into Central High under armed National Guard escort amid daily death threats; as NAACP secretary she chose jail over surrendering the membership list, a refusal that went to the Supreme Court; she faced sexism inside the movement itself, spoke before the United Nations — and died nearly penniless, fed by neighbors. Protest has no vacation plan and no pension fund. (Mother Jones was smuggled into the same answer. “You're cheating.” “I know. I am.”)•       Outsourced Outrage. Why the relative quiet now? COVID scattered Americans into silos; the administration's shock-and-awe blitz kept them off balance; masked, nameless ICE agents and capitulating law firms (Paul Weiss, by name) spread fear; and — echoing Claire Stapleton's moral-compass warning from earlier this week — “too many people have outsourced their sense of outrage,” mistaking an email or an Instagram post for action. What's needed: leaders willing to fight, strategy and alliances, visible plans, and a protest that is for something — democracy, diversity, health, literacy. The model remains the March on Washington, whose anniversary falls August 28: one hundred organizers, a quarter-million regular people, and a government reminded of its own Constitution. About the Guest Gloria J.

The intersection of domestic civil rights struggles and international human rights law represents a critical frontier in the fight against systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence. The UN Human Rights Council's historic George Floyd resolution marked a watershed moment, demonstrating how international legal mechanisms can be mobilized to address persistent patterns of racial oppression within the United States. This development reflects broader questions about the relationship between legal systems and liberation, particularly when examining how the rule of law itself may function as a mechanism for perpetuating racial hierarchies rather than dismantling them. Critical race theorists have long argued that legal structures, rather than providing pathways to freedom, may actually constitute sophisticated forms of control that maintain white supremacist power relations through seemingly neutral juridical processes.Join host Professor Sahar Aziz for a powerful dual presentation featuring Professor Benjamin Davis, who examines the international legal implications of the UN Human Rights Council's response to systemic racism in America, and Professor Anthony Farley from Albany Law School, whose groundbreaking work in Critical Race Theory explores how the very foundations of law and property rights emerge from and perpetuate anti-Black violence. Professor Davis analyzes how international human rights mechanisms are finally turning their scrutiny toward American racial injustice, while Professor Farley presents his provocative thesis that legal liberation itself may be an impossibility within current juridical structures. Together, these distinguished scholars challenge listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about whether reform within existing legal frameworks can ever achieve genuine racial justice, or whether more fundamental transformations of law and society are necessary.#Racism #CRT #CriticalRaceTheory #CivilRightsBiographyAnthony Paul Farley is the James Campbell Matthews Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Albany Law School, where he specializes in constitutional law, criminal procedure, and legal theory.

Dr. Timothy Larsen writes about serious, energetic faith in the places other historians assume the faith cannot really be. A Victorian Christian fantasist. A Westminster canon who quietly set aside biblical authority. And, in his newest and most acclaimed book, seventeen Anglican chaplains who came out of the trenches of World War I as radicals. Tim is McManis Professor of Christian Thought at Wheaton College and the 2025 president of the American Society of Church History, and this hour is us moving through three of his books at once. The Fires of Moloch takes its title from H. G. Wells's line describing Britain sending its sons into the fires of a false god during the Passchendaele Offensive. George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles takes the mid-nineteenth-century Scottish theological turn from the Age of Atonement to the Age of the Incarnation and shows what happens when a rigorously Calvinist minister-turned-fantasy-writer decides doubt is the door in, and therefore the door out, of a mature faith. Every Leaf, Line, and Letter returns to Tim's PhD supervisor David Bebbington's famous quadrilateral for defining evangelicalism and asks what it takes to keep that word doing honest work now that polls will code Muslim Trump voters as evangelical. Come for Anglo-Catholic sacramental confession as battle-tested ministry. Stay for the George MacDonald grandmother who burned her son's violin because he enjoyed music too much. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Timothy Larsen is McManis Professor of Christian Thought and Professor of History at Wheaton College, an Honorary Fellow of the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, All Souls College, Oxford, and Christ Church, Oxford. In 2025 he served as President of the American Society of Church History. He has authored or edited more than twenty books. Books at the center of this conversation: The Fires of Moloch: Anglican Clergymen in the Furnace of World War One; George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles: Incarnation, Doubt, and Reenchantment ; and Every Leaf, Line, and Letter: Evangelicals and the Bible from the 1730s to the Present. JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep⁠ Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together.
