When we say the name “God”, have we assumed too quickly that we know what we mean? We use that word quite regularly, without much strain or prolonged consideration, as if the meaning of the word were self-evident. But what if you had to explain – indeed, translate – the word “God” into a language that had no such concept? That would force you, I think, to really reckon with what you mean and what you assume when you use that word: the name, “God”. That is not merely an intellectual exercise; that was in fact the experience of the 16th and 17th Century Jesuit missionary, Matteo Ricci. His primary mission was to China, where he strove to bring and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who often had not only a different language but also a different imaginary landscape than that which European Christians were accustomed to.In our episode today, the eminent scholar of the Sino-Western Exchange, Professor Anthony Clark, talks with me about Matteo Ricci, evangelization, inculturation, and the legacy of dialogue. Anthony Clark is Professor of Chinese History at Whitworth University, where he also holds the Edward B. Lindaman Endowed Chair, and he directs the Oxford Lewis-Tolkien Program, the Rome History and Culture Program, the area of Asian Studies, and the Study in China Program. He joins me today, in studio, while visiting Notre Dame to deliver a lecture titled “In the Footsteps of Dialogue: China and the Legacy of Matteo Ricci.” Follow-up Resources:Find out more about Professor Anthony Clark at his website: https://anthonyeclark.squarespace.com/China's Saints: Catholic Martyrdom During the Qing (1644–1911), by Anthony Clark“China's Religious Awakening after Mao,” by Ian Johnson, article in Church Life Journal“Religion in China, with Ian Johnson,” podcast episode via Church Life TodayChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Until this month, one of Colorado's highest peaks was named for the former state governor who fostered and supported what became known as the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864. It took years of pressure and an awareness campaign to get the name changed. Still, support is not universal. We'll get the story on changing the Mount Evans name to Mount Blue Sky - and some updates on other important place name changes.

In the years after World War II, Americans moved to the suburbs in search of the peace and safety that many came to equate with the “American Dream.” By the end of the 1970s, however, suburbanites had come sense that their privileged was under siege from satanic cults, drug dealers and kidnappers. In this episode, Bob and Ben talk w/ Kyle Riismandel whose new book Neighborhood of Fear examines how Americans responded to the real and perceived threats of suburban life and in doing so, shaped American society and politics in the late-20th Century and beyond. Dr. Kyle Riismandel is Senior University Lecturer and Interim Director of the Law, Technology, and Culture Program in the Federated Department of History at the New Jersey Institute of Technology/Rutgers-Newark and Director of the Graduate Program in American Studies. His book Neighborhood of Fear: The Suburban Crisis in American Culture, 1975-2001 was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2020. This is a rebroadcast of RTN #194, which originally aired on April 12, 2021. This episode was oroginally edited by Gary Fletcher. This reair was edited by Ben Sawyer.  

How the Sand Creek Massacre is remembered has changed over the years. The original narrative described the attack as a battle victory for the U.S. Army led by Col. John Chivington. But a more accurate and sinister account soon emerged that described a deplorable attack on mostly women, children, and elders from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes. Today on Native America Calling, we learn how organizers of the new exhibit "The Sand Creek Massacre: The Betrayal that Changed Cheyenne and Arapaho People Forever" at the History Colorado Center worked with tribal representatives to tell an accurate and sensitive portrayal of the tragic event in 1864 with Chester Whiteman (Southern Cheyenne), Cheyenne coordinator of the Culture Program of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes; Fred Mosqueda (Cheyenne and Arapaho), Arapaho Language and Culture Program Coordinator for the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma; and Sam Bock, lead exhibit developer for the Sand Creek Massacre exhibition and historian for History Colorado.

Aunia Kahn's work in trauma and mental health has grown over the years and has created a launching pad for the Healing Art Creatively Program. Art and trauma-related work first came together as a passion and purpose with her career's first exhibition Voices Within Surviving Through the Arts (St. Louis Artist Guild 2005) where her art took on subjects of abuse and trauma and was awarded for her endeavors. Later, she was invited for consecutive years as a panelist for the Washington University School of Medicine's MOHOP (Mental Health Outreach Program) and has regularly been a guest lecturer at Southwestern Illinois College speaking abuse, trauma and medical trauma. With her interest to create a supportive and interactive tool to support people working through trauma and adversity, she authored the “Inspirations for Survivors” deck. She has also worked as a mentor at OSLP Art & Culture Program, collaborating one-on-one with students who have developmental disabilities on projects and assisted the program in building their student's portfolios. As a curator, she has curated exhibitions focusing on trauma and mental health such as Darkest Dreams a Lighted Way (2008) and Empathic: A Mental Health Awareness Exhibition (2016) and Touch By Violence (2013). She continues her work in the field teaching courses, offering free resources, and providing tools to those that need. Her work has been in over 300+ exhibitions in over 10 countries; at places such as San Diego Art Institute, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, iMOCA, St. Louis Art Museum, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Mitchell Museum, and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art.

In this week's policy-focused episode of CRN, Radhika, and Chris are joined by one of the foremost authorities on the laws and policies which govern carbon removal: Wil Burns, Visiting Professor, Environmental Policy & Culture Program, Northwestern University & Emeritus Co-Executive Director of the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy at American University. Wil joins our hosts to discuss recent developments around ocean based CDR. In December of 2021, the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine released its much-anticipated report, which outlined a research agenda for ocean-based carbon removal. Ocean-based approaches have the theoretical potential to remove significant amounts of co2 from the atmosphere, and thus help fight climate change. The authors outlined six carbon removal categories they found worthy of further research: Ocean Nutrient Fertilization, Artificial Upwelling, Seaweed Cultivation, Ecosystem Recovery, Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement, and Electrochemical Processes. Each was assessed by the researchers on several criteria, such as the existing knowledge base, efficacy, and governance and public acceptance considerations. Overall, NASEM found ocean CDR at the gigaton scale is possible and recommended a federal research budget of $850 million over the next five years. Wil also provides a CDR update from the world of international diplomacy. The London Convention is a global treaty governing the disposal of wastes into the ocean. The 87 nations which have signed on to the agreement share a standard set of rules that limit the dumping of pollution into the ocean from seaward vessels (it does not cover pollution originating on land). Recently, the London Convention has convened a new working group to assess ocean-based carbon removal. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carbonremovalnewsroom/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carbonremovalnewsroom/support

Today's episode will be probably a little bit different than usual, as we're going to discuss a new project here at Taylor wells, which we are launching. I suppose, to some extent we've already done a soft launch of it with particular customers. That is our project called Value culture. I let Joanna speak in a minute. But I think just a brief intro as to what it is. On our podcast over the last year or two, you probably hear us talking about lots of similar themes. Those themes are pricing settings between different departments. Pricing is a technical skillset, but also a people business. The difficulties in really getting trashed in a corporation. Make sure that our pricing transformation takes hold and runs and isn't just a set and forget but constant iterations and improvements. I suppose we've come to the conclusion that we categorise that as building a value culture in your company. The Value Culture Program through Taylor wells really will address that need.   I mean, as you're all aware, it can be extremely difficult to implement, execute a pricing strategy into the market. And not only that, interpreting that pricing strategy from a higher level, or interpreting higher-level business strategy for pricing. There's always often a disconnect there. We have a business strategy, but sometimes it gets lost in translation when it comes down to pricing, even sales, marketing activities. So, that's just one of the problems we've been seeing in the market. Our customers told us, how can we help with that? Miscommunication, as well as that age-old problem of implementation and executing strategy in the market. As we all know, over 70 to 80% of most transformation and major price change products fail. A lot of people argued that because of the complexity of the strategy itself, or the complexity of execution. We in our work, have seen that often that's not the case at all. It's because there's no system in place to build an embed capability across departments and within teams.   I think anyone who's worked with Taylor Wells will know that we're different to I suppose this podcast is a bit different because we're actually talking about ourselves for once. But usually, we don't do that. But I think it's an opportune time to do so. I think with Taylor Wells, you're always aware that we're helping build capabilities in your business. So that sooner or later you can run it by yourself. It's the old teaching a man to fish routine, isn't it? That's almost a cliche by now. But actually, I think it's the definition of a cliche, isn't it? But I think when you really embed that value culture in your business, it will keep going. You won't need external help at all times. It's something that will grow by itself through iterations as the market changes as you become more mature and your pricing focus as the entire business starts pushing in the same direction. A lot of this stuff is just helping companies get started. Helping people know what they're doing. One thing we're aware of is that you have a pricing department. Everybody in the company has a role to play in achieving commercial results. They don't need to fully understand the entire pricing approach. They don't need to fully understand the pricing technicalities, how things are happening? But they do need to implement and they do need feedback and they do need to feed into this process. I supposed the entire value culture program is making that happen. Building the system, building the structure so that every department whether it's your sales team, whether it's your marketing team, whether it's you know your finance team, your support team, your product development, product research, whatever it is. They're feeding into and running alongside and going in the same direction as the commercial strategy as the value culture in your business.    That's right. I mean, often the teams don't know how to feed into pricing. A new pricing initiative is announced at quite a high level by key sponsors. Often done quite well as a big bang. People are excited, they're wondering what it is. Then there are sorts of a gap. There's a gap not just in communication. People go “okay, well, we heard that announcement once, what's happening with it now?”. But there's also a gap with “okay, what do we do next?”. Although Aidan mentioned that not everybody needs to know what the overall plan and strategy actually means higher level. I actually think that's very important to engaging teams in the overall process. So even though people need to know exactly what their piece is in the play, they also need to know why they're doing it. That's very key as well. That can be communicated by, not just for executives. It's done through line management. And also done through coaching and enabling and this various different types of coaching and reminding and nudging. Just keeping people in the right direction. Reminding them why they're doing it. Every step of the journey, because people forget. It can be new when there are new concepts. New ways of doing things you need to be reminded to break those older habits often sort of cost-plus. So this value Culture Program does all of that within one system. Utilises obviously project management. Utilises structured change management and people talent management systems, as well as a more technical sort of coaching in pricing and sales. So all within one system and just letting simplifying it down by person. So they know exactly what they need to do to get things done to achieve an overarching business strategy.   I think we're not gonna say too much more about it. We've already done a soft launch with two ASX listed companies. So it's out there. It's happening with companies who I suppose are probably innovative. Also, a word I find hard to say. And yeah, it's happening and it's been very successful. It will be rolled out obviously at different levels for different customer sizes. But I suppose people, anyone any listeners interested, maybe even doing better testing based on this for smaller companies. We'd certainly welcome you to come and chat with us.

‘Let's Talk Race: A Guide for White People' Fern L. Johnson, PhD and Marlene G. Fine are the co-authors of ‘Let's Talk Race.' Both are specialists in race relations, ethnicity and gender in discourse. And 30 years ago a gay couple was not allowed to marry. Nor were they allowed to adopt. Wanting a family, Fran and Marlene started independently researching adoption avenues. There were a variety of restrictions that they would not be able to overcome. Both Fern and Marlene thought they knew a lot about race. They made the decision to learn how to raise their sons and give them a healthy racial identity, and prepare them for life in a White world.  And so they talked to all of their Black friends and colleagues to educate themselves as much as possible. Fern L. Johnson, PhD., grew up in Minnesota. She focuses on race, ethnicity, and gender in discourse.  Fern is currently Senior Research Scholar and Professor Emerita of English at Clark University (Worcester, Massachusetts). In addition to her position as Professor of English at Clark, she directed the interdisciplinary Communication and Culture Program. Earlier in her career, Fern was a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. She received her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and her M.A. degree from Northwestern University. Marlene G. Fine, PhD, grew up in Belmar, New Jersey, a small resort community on the New Jersey shore.  Marlene is Professor Emerita at Simmons University, specializing in cultural diversity, leadership, and dialogue. She authored Building Successful Multicultural Organizations, and her articles appear in a broad range of journals. She is a seasoned speaker and workshop facilitator. Marlene co-authored, with Fern Johnson, The Interracial Adoption Option, which draws on their experience as white parents of African American sons.

Let’s talk about race…we have to.  We ALL have to.  Stories of racial inequality and systemic racism permeate the news headlines.  We can’t pretend that it doesn’t exist.  I have been so ignorant to this topic.  As a white woman, I didn’t know what white privilege was and that I have it.  I am honoured to talk about this important subject with two incredible women, Fern Johnson and Marlene Fine, who have written the book, Let’s Talk Race, a Guide for White People.  In their book, they talk about their journey to adopt children that lead them to adopt two black boys.  Both Fern and Marlene are accomplished professors, researchers and authors in the areas of communication, race, gender, cultural language diversity and multiculturalism. Because of their backgrounds, they thought they were up to the task of raising two African American boys, and although they were, there was still a lot they needed to learn. In this episode we talk about: How language communicates race and racism How we need to understand and learn black history and have empathy for black experiences. How to talk with your children about race and interracial adoption Fern and Marlene’s book, Let’s Talk Race – a Guide for White People is available anywhere books are sold. For a free copy of their guide, Tips for Communicating Race and Racial Identity, follow this link: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AqxowX5Jqw4HgdhRhzXLdENw2dcrDQ?e=mZGyYK   About Fern Johnson and Marlene Fine Fern L. Johnson is a native Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, which is a suburb of Minneapolis. She attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities for her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees and received a M.A. degree from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Throughout her teaching and research career, her interests have focused on the relationship of language and communication to society and culture, with emphasis on cultural and language diversity in the U.S. and how language channels and shapes our beliefs, values, and attitudes.  Johnson is the author of Speaking Culturally—Language Diversity in the United States (Sage) and Imaging in Advertising—Verbal and Visual Codes of Commerce (Routledge) plus numerous articles and book chapters. She and Marlene Fine co-authored The Interracial Adoption Adoption—Creating a Family Across Race (Jessica Kingsley), which grew out of their experience as white parents of adopted African American children. Prior to her Ph.D. work, Johnson taught at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. After the Ph.D., she moved to Massachusetts as a faculty member in the Communication department at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where she also served as  Deputy Provost. After 13 years at UMass, she was appointed Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. Following her years in administration at Clark, she was a full time professor of English and Director of the Interdisciplinary Communication and Culture Program. Johnson’s interest in how race, ethnicity, and gender impact communication reaches back to her undergraduate studies when she was first introduced to linguistic research on African American language structure and history. In graduate school, she deepened her knowledge of sociolinguistics and also became engaged in newly developing inquiry into how culture shapes language to conform to a male-female binary, and how that communication binary leads to judgments about language users. As the U.S. became increasingly diverse and languages other than English reshaped the national language landscape, Johnson’s work explored the implications of a multilingual society for education and public policy both in the U.S. and Europe. In addition to her teaching and research, Johnson has conducted seminars and workshops on issues related to race and to gender equity and interracial adoption. Johnson has received national recognition for her accomplishments through two major awards from the National Communication Association: The Robert J. Kibler Memorial Award for dedication to excellence, vision, and diversity, and the Women’s Caucus Francine Merritt Award for outstanding contributions to the lives of women in the Association and the communication discipline. Johnson resides west of Boston in Holliston, Massachusetts. She currently serves on the Advancement Council for the Greater Boston Food Bank and works as a volunteer in support of the food pantry in her community.   Marlene G. Fine, Ph.D. Marlene G. Fine grew up on the Jersey Shore and attended Asbury Park High School. She received her B.A. in Speech from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and her M.A. in Speech Communication from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. After teaching for two years at Clarion State University in Pennsylvania, she returned to the University of Massachusetts Amherst for her Ph.D. She started a small communications consulting firm (with William Erklauer) while she was completing her doctorate and became interested in finance through her work with clients. She pursued her M.B.A. at the University of Massachusetts Amherst intending to change careers but was lured away from finance by an opportunity to become the Associate Dean of the College of Management at the University of Massachusetts Boston. She remained there for eleven years as a faculty member and serving as director of the MBA Program and then chair of the Marketing and Communications Department. Fine then went to Emerson College as the Dean of Graduate Studies. She spent the last fifteen years of her academic career at Simmons College as a Professor of Communications. Early in her time at Simmons, she served as Director of the Master’s in Communications Management program. Throughout her career, Fine’s research interests focused on issues of race and gender. Fine is the author of Building Successful Multicultural Organizations—Challenges and Opportunities (Quorum) and the co-author (with Fern L. Johnson) of The Interracial Adoption Option—Building a Family Across Race (Jessica Kingsley) and the forthcoming Let’s Talk Race—A Guide for White People (New Society). Fine and Johnson’s work on interracial adoption grew out of their experience as the white parents of adopted African American children. Her early research examined the use of Black English Vernacular on television. As she developed an interest in organizational communication, her later work focused on cultural diversity in organizations, women and leadership, and interracial adoption. Fine has led numerous seminars and workshops on cultural diversity and (with Fern L. Johnson) on interracial adoption. Fine has also been active in community volunteer work related to race. She was a facilitator with the YW Boston Dialogues on Race and Ethnicity for many years and worked with the Boston Busing Desegregation Project (sponsored by the Union of Minority Neighborhoods) on creating an oral history of what happened from 1974-1988 when Boston was forced to desegregate its public schools through court-ordered busing.   Fine lives in Holliston, Massachusetts, a suburb west of Boston, where she volunteers with her local food pantry. She also serves on the board of Hillel, an international organization for Jewish college students, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.   Thanks for listening!

In the years after World War II, Americans moved to the suburbs in search of the peace and safety that many came to equate with the “American Dream.” By the end of the 1970s, however, suburbanites had come sense that their privileged was under siege from satanic cults, drug dealers and kidnappers. In this episode, Bob and Ben talk w/ Kyle Riismandel whose new book Neighborhood of Fear examines how Americans responded to the real and perceived threats of suburban life and in doing so, shaped American society and politics in the late-20th Century and beyond.   Dr. Kyle Riismandel is Senior University Lecturer and Interim Director of the Law, Technology, and Culture Program in the Federated Department of History at the New Jersey Institute of Technology/Rutgers-Newark. His new book Neighborhood of Fear: The Suburban Crisis in American Culture, 1975-2001 was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2020.

A new study will examine how the relationship between science and religion impacts political power, social authority and culture, according to Dr. Myrna Perez Sheldon, assistant professor of Gender and American Religion at Ohio University and editor of “Cosmologics,” a magazine that is the project of the Science, Religion, and Culture Program at Harvard Divinity School. Dr. Perez Sheldon believes that too often we become fixated on whether science and religion are polar opposites of one another and whether if one believes in one it precludes any belief in the other. She feels that concentration purely on science versus religion begs many more important questions. Instead, Dr. Perez Sheldon thinks we should dig deeper and examine the relationship of religion and science and the impact of both on our political debates and cultural decision-making. She cites that in modern times that both “scientific knowledge and religious institutions are involved in debates over contentious topics such as reproductive technologies, immigration policy, environmental protection, and healthcare.” Her most recent grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation will enable her and her colleagues to study questions such as: Who should citizens trust to make decisions about their health and bodies? Who decides whether public funds should be used to support access to contraceptives and/or abortions? And, what uses of science and technology should be considered unethical by the state? Critical Approaches to Science and Religion also will sponsor a symposium and an edited work from scholars studying this relationship. Additionally, Dr. Perez Sheldon will be piloting a new curriculum at Ohio University to address these issues. If you wish to explore this topic beyond the Spectrum Podcast conversation with Dr. Perez Sheldon, go to the magazine “Cosmologics”: a magazine of science, religion and culture. https://cosmologicsmagazine.com/ The magazine shifts discussion away from science versus religion and instead examines looks at the impact of each on matters such as race, gender, and inequality.

What is the nature of the relationship between embracing the arts and participating in the life of a community? When and under what circumstances do the arts bind people and places together—and when do they divide us? And what do we need from the arts at a moment when many people are more isolated, and our civic life more polarized? These questions were discussed during a panel, “Does Art Really Make Us Better Citizens?” at a Zócalo/Irvine Foundation conference, “What Can the World Teach California About Arts Engagement?” moderated by Suse Anderson, co-host of Museopunks and Assistant Professor of museum studies at George Washington University. The speakers included Middle East Institute Arts & Culture Program director Lyne Sneige; Arts and Humanities chair of Mexico’s Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Lerma, Luz María Sánchez; global arts consultant Gail Dexter Lord; and cultural historian and chair of Theatre at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte Lynne Conner.

Listen NowThis past May 4, US House or Representative Republicans passed the American Health Care Act (AHCA).  The bill, defined by Republicans as a repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is now under debate among Senate Republicans. (Neither any House Democrat voted for the AHCA nor are there any Senate Democrats expected to vote for related Senate bill should it make the Senate floor.)  Per the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) estimate of the AHCA's spending and revenue effects, published May 24, the AHCA would cause 14 million Americans to lose their health insurance in 2018 and 23 million by 2026, 14  million of this latter total would be Medicaid recipients.  This is because the AHCA would cut $834 billion from the Medicaid program over the ten year budget window, or by 2026.  The cuts in Medicaid spending, along with substantial reductions in tax credits, would allow for ACA taxes, approximately $600 billion, to be rescinded.  For example, the ACA's 3.8% tax applied to capital gains for family incomes over $250,000 and a 0.9% Medicare surtax on wage income in excess of $250,000 per year, i.e., tax cuts that would benefit the comparatively wealthy.           During this 25 minute conversation Dr. Silverstein provides, among other things, his assessment of the AHCA, i.e., legislation moreover as tax relief for the wealthy, the likely effect it would have one women's health and on disparities in care and alternatively how the ACA could be improved. Dr. Jason Silverstein is a Lecturer and Writer-in-Residence at Harvard Medical School in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. He is also currently an Instructor at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health.  He is also a faculty affiliate of the Science, Religion and Culture Program at the Harvard Divinity School.  He is a regular contributor to VICE's health channel, Tonic.   He has written for The New York Times, the Atlantic, The Guardian, Slate, The Nation and others and has provided commentary for, among others, MSNBC, NPR, HuffPost Live and BET.   His previous experience includes conducting research at Children's Hospital Boston, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Law School's Program on Disability, and Stony Brook's HIV Treatment Development Center.

Had a great conversation with Rachel Laser and Barbara Weinstein of the Religious Action Center RAC. We talked about what the RAC is, what it does, about a number of issues of concern to the progressive community and about the upcoming URJ Biennial in December.
