    We're about a year out from a presidential election, and former President Donald Trump is leading the Republican pack in spite of his supporters' attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The attack reflected the anger and violence that can be stoked by misinformation. But the issue of misinformation has become heavily politicized since the 2016 election and Cambridge Analytica's use of Facebook data to target divisive messages at segments of the American population. As a result, researchers like Boston University's Joan Donovan have found themselves subject to intense political and funding pressures. In this episode, we talk with Dr. Donovan about the parallels between Big Tobacco and Big Tech, and what the online misinformation landscape looks like heading into the 2024 elections.

    How the UN Keeps Peace Among Neighbors, with William G. Nomikos

    Today on Scope Conditions, what's the secret to successful peacekeeping?We often think of civil conflict as being driven by organized, armed groups – like rebel militias and state armies. But as our guest today reminds us, a leading cause of conflict around the world is communal violence – fights that break out between civilians over land, cattle, water, and other scarce resources.  When the United Nations sends peacekeepers in to manage a conflict, one of their most important jobs is defusing tensions among neighbors – preventing local disputes from spiraling into widespread violence and derailing a larger peace process. Dr. William Nomikos is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at UC Santa Barbara. In his forthcoming book, Local Peace, International Builders: How the UN Builds Peace from the Bottom Up, Will asks why peacekeepers sometimes manage, but other times fail, to keep a lid on communal violence. As he explains to us, the key to successful peacekeeping is being perceived by local populations as an impartial mediator among contending groups. But the thing is, a reputation for impartiality isn't something that a peacekeeping force can manufacture overnight. Whether or not peacekeepers are seen as unbiased in a communal dispute is often shaped by experiences that long predate the contemporary conflict, such as the legacies of colonialism. It turns out that deployments by former colonizers – like French peacekeepers sent to Mali – have a pretty hard time tamping down local conflicts.Will walks us through the micro-level logic of his theory of impartial peacekeeping, grounded in the psychology of group conflict. We then discuss his multi-pronged empirical strategy for testing the theory – using a novel, highly granular dataset on peacekeeping deployments; in-depth interviews with communal leaders; and lab-in-the-field experiments in Mali. And we talk about the policy implications of his findings: is the UN uniquely capable of generating perceptions of fairness and managing communal violence, or can NGOs or regional bodies also get the job done? How do revelations of abusive and exploitative behavior by some UN peacekeepers complicate the impartiality picture? And if the presence of neutral arbiters is crucial for keeping a lid on violence, then what's the peacekeeper's exit strategy?Works cited in this episode: Baldwin, Kate.

    The Dominican Republic has posted impressive economic growth rates over the past thirty years. Despite this, the generation of new, good jobs has been remarkably weak. How have ordinary and poor Dominicans worked and lived in the shadow of the country's conspicuous growth rates? Jobless Growth in the Dominican Republic: Disorganization, Precarity, and Livelihoods (Stanford UP, 2022) considers this question through an ethnographic exploration of the popular economy in the Dominican capital. Focusing on the city's precarious small businesses, including furniture manufacturers, food stalls, street-corner stores, and savings and credit cooperatives, Krohn-Hansen shows how people make a living, tackle market shifts, and the factors that characterize their relationship to the state and pervasive corruption. Empirically grounded, this book examines the condition of the urban masses in Santo Domingo, offering an original and captivating contribution to the scholarship on popular economic practices, urban changes, and today's Latin America and the Caribbean.

    The Dominican Republic has posted impressive economic growth rates over the past thirty years. Despite this, the generation of new, good jobs has been remarkably weak. How have ordinary and poor Dominicans worked and lived in the shadow of the country's conspicuous growth rates? Jobless Growth in the Dominican Republic: Disorganization, Precarity, and Livelihoods (Stanford UP, 2022) considers this question through an ethnographic exploration of the popular economy in the Dominican capital. Focusing on the city's precarious small businesses, including furniture manufacturers, food stalls, street-corner stores, and savings and credit cooperatives, Krohn-Hansen shows how people make a living, tackle market shifts, and the factors that characterize their relationship to the state and pervasive corruption. Empirically grounded, this book examines the condition of the urban masses in Santo Domingo, offering an original and captivating contribution to the scholarship on popular economic practices, urban changes, and today's Latin America and the Caribbean. This will be essential reading for scholars and policy makers. Alex Diamond is Assistant Professor of sociology at Oklahoma State University. Learn more about your ad choices.

    We are thrilled to have Dr. Ravindra Nanda as our guest on the podcast. During our conversation, Dr. Nanda will explore groundbreaking advancements in the field of aligner orthodontics. He will provide insights into the innovative technology enabling orthodontists to sustainably produce aligners in their offices. While minimal training is needed, the mechanics behind this process are remarkably straightforward. It's never been a better time to be an orthodontist.    IN THIS EPISODE: [04:32] Dr. Leon and Dr. Ravindra reminisce over their days at university and changes between now and then.  [06:19] Dr. Ravinda shares how he got involved with Graphy and how the process works.  [11:25] Dr. Ravinda discusses the cost of the aligners and functionality and shares the benefits to the patient.  [17:05] Treatment can accelerate the therapy and affect the impact on the environment.  [23:02] A listener asks a question of Dr. Ravinda regarding the mechanics of printing an aligner.  [27:32] Dr. Ravinda discusses the downside of the process.    KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Graphy produces aligners with shape memory. Graphy can print aligners in 32 minutes. A benefit of Graphy aligners is that you don't need as many attachments to the teeth.    RESOURCE LINKS People + Practice  - Website Dr. Ravindra Nanda - Facebook Dr. Ravindra Nanda - Instagram   BIOGRAPHY:  Dr. Ravindra Nanda is at present UConn Alumni Endowed Chair, and Professor and Head of the Department of Craniofacial Sciences and Chair of division of Orthodontics, University of Connecticut, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S.A. He received his dental training from Lucknow University, India and orthodontic training first at Lucknow, India and then from Nymegen, The Netherlands and the University of Connecticut. He also received a Ph.D. for the University of Nymegen in 1969.

He is on the editorial board of ten different national and international orthodontic journals. He is an active member of AAO, EOS, IADR and Edward H. Angle Society. Dr. Nanda is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He has given numerous named lectures at national and international societies including Mershon Lecture at American Association of Orthodontics and Sheldon Friel Lecture at 2011 EOS Congress. Dr. Nanda has authored six orthodontic books and more than 200 scientific articles in major journals. His most recent books are Biomechanics in Clinical Orthodontics and Biomechanic and Esthetic Strategies In Clinical Orthodontics, Temporary Anchorage Devices in Orthodontics and Current Therapy in Orthodontics.   QUOTES:  “You need a 3D printer, we recommend Unix because the settings have been made accordingly. Then you take the resin and place it in the tray, plug in your software. This plate will come down where the resin is, and it moves up, and in about 32 minutes, you will have six to ten aligners.” Dr. Ravindra Nanda “Say you have 5 million patients using models. That means at least 150 million models are being thrown somewhere in the environment. So we are polluting like crazy. The aligner would be the only pollution. We are going to tell our patients how to get rid of those aligners because nobody talks about it, you give the aligners, you forget about them.” Dr. Ravindra Nanda

    According to Aristotle (and Aquinas and others), the human person is essentially rational and social; man thinks, and he thinks best in the context of friendship. As such, at the very heart of man's education ought to be learning to write effectively, for good writing is thought clarified and beautified which can be shared with others. Recent developments in Artificial Intelligence, however, seem to pose a formidable challenge to teachers who wish to help their students grow in this most human of crafts.  To help us think through how we as teachers should approach this challenge, this week on HeightsCast we welcome Dr. Matthew Mehan, Associate Dean and Assistant Professor of Government for Hillsdale's Steve and Amy Van Andel Graduate School of Government on Capitol Hill. Despite the risks and challenges associated with it, Dr. Mehan argues that teachers should not abandon the at-home long essay. Indeed, as he points out, the creativity and thoughtfulness required by teachers who still wish to utilize the at-home essay, while mitigating the risks of cheating, may even make them better at their own art. As it becomes increasingly easier for a student to cheat his way through simplistic prompts and an outcome-focused approach to writing, teachers must now think more deeply about the kinds of written assignments they give their students and the process they use to guide them along the way. All this extra effort is well worth it. As Dr. Mehan reminds us: “If you cannot order your thoughts beautifully and rationally, cogently and powerfully, in writing, you cannot clarify your own thinking, nevermind then share that thinking in the most brilliant and candid way.” Chapters  0:55 Introduction 4:00 Artificial intelligence and teaching the craft of writing 7:20 Are at-home assignments worth the risk of cheating? 14:00 The real good of teaching writing 15:45 Strategies for mitigating cheating 19:30 The importance of writing to thinking and socializing 20:55 Imitation and the art of writing 21:50 More strategies 25:40 Summary of strategies for mitigating risk Pre-conversations  Discussion of thesis statement  Pre-writing process  Refining your prompts  Imitation and style  27:00 A new era in education? 30:25 Will AI alter language more fundamentally? 31:50 Some ideas for essay prompts 37:12 Love, fear, and the stealing of ideas: the ethics of AI  44:05 Can AI really know anything? 46:15 How AI can make us better teachers 48:00 Cite your sources: the limitation of ChatGPT as a research tool 52:22 In-class vs. at-home essays  Also on the Forum  Writing from the Sentence Up by Joe Breslin 5 Don'ts and Dos When Teaching Writing by Joe Breslin  On Writing: A Personal Reflection by Michael Ortiz  Splashing in Puddles: Finding the Creative Writing Flow by Joe Bissex Why Our Politics Needs Poetry with Dr. Matthew Mehan

    Bladder cancer cases continue to rise regardless of treatment advances. In addition, disparities in bladder cancer persist, especially with respect to race. There is a documented connection between patient demographics and the impact on health outcomes. ACCC launched the Addressing Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care project to help cancer centers apply evidence-based health literacy and shared decision-making principles and strategies to reduce disparities in bladder cancer care.   CANCER BUZZ spoke to Mary W. Dunn, MSN, RN, OCN, NP-C, Adult Nurse Practitioner of Urology and Medical Oncology at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Samuel L. Washington III, MD, MAS, Assistant Professor of Urology at the University of California in San Francisco, California. Listen as we discuss best practices in health literacy, shared decision-making for bladder cancer care, disparities experienced by female patients, and educational resources being developed through the Addressing Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care initiative.   “Phase 1 analysis of the Bladder Cancer Care Initiative found major gaps in guideline concordant care of all bladder cancer patients, particularly populations that are already facing disparities.” Samuel L. Washington III   “I think when you're dealing with something that is as delicate and difficult and potentially traumatic as a cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment, ensuring that the patient knows that their voice matters in the treatment decision making process is huge, and incorporating their goals of care…” Mary W. Dunn   “When it comes to effective health literacy practices, the first step is really understanding the difference between literacy (how comfortable people are at reading and their reading level) and health literacy, which is almost a separate language of medical jargon and terms. These terms do not correlate or aren't a 1 to 1 equivalent comparison.”              Samuel L. Washington III   Mary W.

    Dr. Tabri is the Director of the Mental Health and Addictions Laboratory and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. Dr. Tabri's research explores how different transdiagnostic factors (e.g., overvalued ideation, perfectionism, and impulsivity) may function together to proliferate and maintain engagement in various health-compromising behaviors (e.g., disordered eating and gambling). The ultimate aim of this line of research is to enhance the prevention, assessment, and treatment protocols of various mental health disorders. Dr. Tabri also researches the mental health and well-being implications of group membership. This research integrates social identity theory with theories from clinical and health psychology to understand how group-related factors (e.g., perceived intergroup threat, group-based emotions, and social identification) affect the mental health and well-being of group members. The goal is to develop an integrative framework of how group membership may affect our mental health and well-being. In this interview, we cover: Nassim Tabri's Personal and Professional Journey and Current Research The Nexus Between Eating Disorders and Gambling Problems Orthorexia Nervosa and Transdiagnostic Mechanisms in Eating Disorders Transdiagnostic Factors in Disordered Eating and Gambling Common Factors in Disordered Eating and Gambling Recovery and Community Building Changing Your Life for Recovery Appearance Focused Self Concept and Disordered Eating The Impact of Cultural Messaging on Eating Disorders and Appearance Standards Discussion on Mental Health and Research Collaboration   The content of our show is educational only.
