Over the last few months, students on college campuses all over the world have been protesting the mass slaughter in Gaza. I was one of the majority of faculty at UMass Amherst who supported our students' encampment, and then opposed our administration's violent assault on it. In this episode I talk with Amy Binder, whose book with Jeffrey Kidder, The Channels of Student Activism: How the Left and Right Are Winning (and Losing) in Campus Politics Today (2022) is one of the few analyses of student activism on U.S. college campuses after 2016. Their study is based in flagship state schools like mine, and is unusual in its inclusion of student activists across the political spectrum. This conversation was a much needed opportunity to reflect on the events of last year.Amy Binder is a Stavros Niarchos Agora Professor of Sociology at Johns Hopkins University. She is Interim Director of the SNF Agora Institute, founded in 2017 to diagnose the problems facing liberal democracies, encourage dialogue and participation through public events, and to offer courses in the study of democracy. Before her recent move to Johns Hopkins, Amy was on the sociology faculty at the University of California San Diego.Please join me at the invited thematic session at ASA in Montreal next week, Sociology for Hope. The panelists represent a range of substantive interests and career stages, from graduate student to emeritus faculty. 

We hear a lot about the importance of not judging, whether that's not judging ourselves or not judging others. Most of us probably try to live by that advice, but it's often harder than it sounds. So often we fall into attitudes of judgment without even meaning to, especially when it comes to ourselves, where our judgments are often the harshest of all. That attitude of judgment can cloud our perspective on things, making it hard for us to see the actual truth of the matter. Learning to recognize those moments of judgment and peel them away to see the truth underneath can lead to important insights about ourselves and give us clarity about our lives. Psychologist and dog trainer Amy Binder joined me today to talk about how her work with at-risk kids and at-risk dogs taught the importance of letting go of judgment to look at things honestly. 

On this episode of BRITE Ideas, Matt and JP speak with Amy Binder '94 (Founder and CEO, R|F Binder) about the power of communications to solve business problems. Amy highlights the dire need to bridge the gap between the communications and business disciplines --- they are intricately linked, and yet neither side is effectively trained to understand the other. In addition, the discussion dips into the topics of company values and authenticity, a need for social impact metrics, and how leaders must adapt company culture out of the societal changes brought on by the COVID pandemic.

Nike recently set the media ablaze with their newest ad headliner, Colin Kaepernick. Long gone are the days of passivity; customers want to support brands that support something. Amy Binder sits down with Lee to discuss smart moves companies can make before publicly declaring a side in the upcoming battle of the brands.

UC San Diego sociologist Amy Binder explains two prevalent conservative styles that she and her co-author Kate Wood found on today’s college campuses. At “Western Public,” students often engaged in a provocative style, looking to poke fun and enrage liberals, whereas at “Eastern Elite,” conservative students embraced a more civil style, leading to friendlier interactions with other students who disagreed with them. The authors argue that these styles emerge from the cultural and organizational features of each campus. Series: "quoteUnquote" [Humanities] [Education] [Show ID: 25590]
