Americans, understandably, have an emotionally fraught relationship with firearms, and American gun culture bears the marks of this emotional complexity. When, and perhaps more important, why did the firearm, a tool for killing, come to bear this unique cultural baggage in America? Between 1870 and 1920, when firearms were no longer seen as a tool first, but a consumer good laden with symbolic meaning and community associations. So argues Courtney Slavin, PhD candidate at Clark University, in her dissertation project. Using a combination of primary sources, including business records, catalogs, and consumer correspondence, all held in the Hagley Library collections, Slavin reconstructs a time when Americans began thinking about and using guns less as functional firearms and more as symbols. Fitting into a cultural milieu of anxiety over masculinity, fears of over civilization, perceived loss of tradition and community, guns accreted a load of cultural meanings atop of and around their physical objects. The consequences of this cultural baggage have been profound for Americans in the twenty first century. In support of her work Slavin received funding from the Center from the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Women's wars are not men's wars. This is the first lesson of Cynthias Enloe's Twelve Feminist Lessons of War (U California Press, 2023): the lack of attention paid to women during war not only obscures their experiences but also prevents a full understanding of war and its effects. Wartime shapes women's lives and also the gendered politics of issues such as domestic relationships and childcare, labor and economic mobility, political rights and participation, violence, and much more. By paying attention to the lives of women during war, Enloe shows what women can teach us about war. And in Twelve Feminists Lessons of War it's not just the lessons about war themselves are feminist.  This book also tells lessons from feminist activists and how they have responded to war, whether it is being fought in their backyard or by their state's military tens of thousands of miles away. Drawn from insights gained during her long career researching and writing about women during war and the gendered politics of war, Enloe presents a dozen lessons to be learned about women's lives during war and how we can shorten or even prevent wars by paying attention to women's experiences. Cynthia Enloe is Research Professor in the Department of International Development, Community and Environment at Clark University where she also has affiliations in the Women's and Gender Studies and Political Science departments. Professor Enloe researches, writes, and teaches about the politics of gender in the US and globally.

Award-winning research psychologist and professor Dr. Michael Addis returns to Paternal for the latest in a series of special episodes, this time to discuss a subject that a number of past guests have brought up over the years: Grace and self-compassion. He examines why some men hold themselves to impossible standards when it comes to work, relationships and parenting, and why the inability to forgive yourself is connected to the ability to apologize to others, and actually mean it. Dr. Addis is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. He also provides personal coaching and consultation for men at www.incontextcoaching.com.

In this episode, we dive into an empowering energetic protocol designed to help you create stronger boundaries and a more empowered way of being. We explore how your spirit team—those beings of love and light who hold a similar level of consciousness—affects you empathically, and how this impact can sometimes lead to disempowerment. By working through this energetic reboot, you can recalibrate your boundaries, take back responsibility for your journey, and create a more balanced relationship with your team.This is a segment from Aleya's coaching sessions.

What is the recipe for developing deeper, more intimate relationships?  Breaking this all down in his new book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy, is couples therapist Dr. James Cordova, who talks to Yael about how true intimacy happens when vulnerability is met with warmth and acceptance and feeling safe being your real self with someone.  You'll hear some eye-opening research, including his “relationship checkup” method and how marriage therapy has evolved to focus on both behavior and acceptance.  If you are looking for ways to strengthen your relationship emotionally and physically—such as staying mindful, paying attention to one another, sexual intimacy, and making check-ins a regular habit—James has some extremely practical suggestions for you! Listen and Learn:  The true meaning of intimacy Balancing change and acceptance in relationships How can we stay open and kind when we hear something we don't want to? How mindfulness can transform intimacy The power of vulnerability and compassion in the face of conflict and how understanding your partner leads to a deeper connection Why our ancient instincts for self-protection clash with modern relationship needs How relational flexibility can transform your relationships How do daily hurts and unaddressed issues lead to distance in your relationship?

This episode focuses on recognizing and releasing the "chameleon grid," a metaphor for how people, especially empaths, adapt to the energy of others as a survival mechanism.

This episode with Jungian psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, and author Dr. Thomas Singer, one of the contributors to "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," began with a discussion of President-elect Donald Trump's present mental state and what appears to have shifted from the first time he was elected to the nation's highest office. Dr. Singer spoke with Michael Krasny about the shadow self and the notion of Trump invading individual psyches of both followers and detractors and being drawn to selecting sexually transgressive individuals for presidential appointments, as well as the relevance of cultural complexes. From there, the two spoke of Elon Musk and his relationship with Trump and various uses of technology for political advantages and media fragmentation. A wide-ranging discussion followed on Jungian concepts and what Tom Singer characterized as the "highly charged" relationship of Jung and Freud and an incident which occurred at Clark University in 1907. The episode concluded with a discussion of modern technology's manipulation of archetypes, fear of what Dr. Singer called "the great unknown of AI," the role of rituals and cultural identity, trigger words and their effects, as well as a consideration of the efficacy of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis and the importance of transference. All of this expansive intellectual range of interconnected topics could be classified as what Dr. Singer called, in a book based on his podcast, a sterling example of circumambulation.

The Great Oxidation Event Cyanobacteria are thought to have radically changed our planet 2.5-3.5 billion years ago by producing oxygen through photosynthesis. In essence, they and other microbes are the original terraformers. The Purple Earth Hypothesis Photosynthesis as we know it, using chlorophyll, may have evolved after another way of doing photosynthesis, with retinal that looks purple. This means that our planets and other ‘younger' planets may look or have looked purple rather than green.

Are you feeling stuck in your job? Are feeling unfulfilled? Feeling like you're not being acknowledged fully for what you do and what you bring to the table? Do you feel like there's more and you just don't know how to go about finding out what that is?  Well, you're not alone.   My guest Adeola Adebiyi knows all about how you feel.  Despite being a seasoned Cyber Security executive with more than 15 years of experience in the industry Adeola came to me because she felt stuck.  But I had something for her.  The Resume Excavation is a process I take clients through that's not about your resume.  It's about you and a treasure hunt that will give you a complete reframe on who you are and the great value that you bring.  If you're like Adeola you probably treat your resume as this old thing that you only take out when you're ready to dust it off to get a new job.  And the dust-off is usually a minor update with details of your current position. And then you send it off expecting it to perform miracles like landing you some dream job.  Which if you know me and have listened to Episode 1 you know the dream job does not exist.   This approach does not work.  But the Resume Excavation process does.   Don't take my word for it.  Listen in to hear what Adeola had to say about her experience and how the process gave her all she was looking for and more.     About my guest:  Adeola Adebiyi is a seasoned Cyber Security executive with more than 15 years of experience in the industry.
