What does it mean to truly belong in America? Michael Luo, executive editor at The New Yorker and author of Strangers in the Land, joins Redeeming Babel's director of content, DT Slouffman, to explore the Asian American experience—from the legacy of the Chinese Exclusion Act to the rise in anti-Asian hate during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing from personal stories and a viral moment that sparked national conversation, Luo confronts the “perpetual foreigner” stereotype and envisions a more inclusive vision of American identity. DT and Michael unpack how race, immigration, and belonging continue to shape all of our lives.

There exist problematic attitudes and beliefs about dwarfism that have rarely been challenged, but continue to construct people with dwarfism as an inferior group within society. Midgetism: The Exploitation and Discrimination of People with Dwarfism (Routledge, 2023) introduces the critical term 'midgetism', which the author has coined, to demonstrate that the socio-cultural discrimination people with dwarfism experience is influenced by both heightism and disablism. As a result, it unpacks and challenges the problematic social assumptions that reinforce midgetism within society, including the acceptability of 'midget entertainment' and 'non-normate space', to demonstrate how particular spaces can either aid in reinforcing or challenge midgetism. Drawing on the tripartite model of disability, this book demonstrates how midget entertainment is framed as a non-normative positivism, which makes it an acceptable form of employment. Using autocritical discourse analysis, the book exposes, examines and responds to excuses that are used to reinforce midgetism, thus critiquing the numerous beliefs influenced by cultural representations of dwarfism, such as people with dwarfism being acceptable figures of entertainment. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, social history, sociology and cultural geography. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dissect the media's latest effort to protect President Biden, a New Jersey congresswoman facing a felony charge, a Justice Department probe into the Chicago mayor's hiring practices, and college students increasingly leaning on artificial intelligence to complete their coursework.First, after a quick take on the media once again running interference for Biden, Scot and Greg focus on U.S. Attorney Alina Habba charging New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during an incident at a New Jersey ICE facility earlier this month. House Democrats are outraged and are threatening retaliation. Scot notes the partisan double standard when it comes to legal accountability, while Greg dismisses the idea that elected officials are somehow immune from arrest under any circumstances.Next, they examine the Justice Department's investigation into whether Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson discriminated in city hiring by prioritizing candidates based on race. The probe follows Johnson's recent remarks explaining his preference for hiring black employees. Scot says the issue becomes obvious when you read the same statement but refer to a different race.Finally, they shake their heads as college professors are scrambling to stop students from using artificial intelligence to do their work. They're also stunned at how helpless many students feel without it. Scot shares how Hillsdale addresses the problem and argues the issue reveals something deeper about why students attend college in the first place.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

This weekend, we're studying Acts 11:1–18 under the theme “Religious Discrimination.” In this pivotal moment, Peter defends his mission to the Gentiles after God reveals that the Gospel breaks through ethnic and religious barriers—proving salvation is not by cultural conformity but by grace alone. We'll see how God confronts human prejudice, expands our understanding of His grace, and calls us to reject man-made divisions in favor of His unifying Gospel.SERIES SUMMARY: The Book of Acts is the story of the early Christian Church. For centuries after the first Easter, the Christian Church has studied Acts. The logic is that, after we celebrated Jesus' rising from the grave and subsequent ascent into heaven, perhaps we should try to do what the early church did, contextualized to our time and place. Throughout this series, we will look at snapshots of Acts, from supernatural healing to strategic planning, cultural diversity to Christian celebrity. This is the story of what Jesus continued to do even after he ascended into heaven and sent his Spirit to form the Church.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

I created Do I Know You? to connect with other siblings and children of celebrities to learn about how they think about things like identity, supporting their family, dealing with the spotlight, and all things in between.On this epidsode, Nneka Ogwumike gets real about navigating life as WNBPA President, experiencing different types of discrimination in the WNBA, and getting to share the spotlight with her sister Chiney. From standing up for herself in a league that still struggles with colorism to redefining what it means to be a first-generation Nigerian-American, Nneka opens up about the complexities of identity on and off the court.But she's soooo much more than a powerhouse athlete! Nneka's a problem-solver, cooking enthusiast, and social media savant who's also learning to see her sisters as individuals, not just family. We also get to hear about what she's watching these days, her aversion to surprise parties, and what she does when stopped in the airport (hehe).This is a conversation about breaking barriers, owning your narrative, and continuing to evolve into your best, multi-dimensional self…trust me, Nneka Ogwumike is a name you won't forget!!!God loves you.

The grave consequences artificial intelligence poses aren't 'potential' — they are happening now, warns MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini. She argues that encoded discrimination embedded in AI systems — racial bias, sex and gender bias, and ableism — pose unprecedented threats to humankind. Buolamwini has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence research and encourages everyone to join in the fight for "algorithmic justice." Her book, Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines, uncovers the existential danger produced by Big Tech. "AI should be for the people and by the people, not just the privileged few.”

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson speaks with NPR's Elissa Nadworny to unpack the Trump administration's efforts to withhold federal funding from colleges and universities over issues like antisemitism and DEI practices. They discuss how these unprecedented moves are impacting not campus life, but vital medical and scientific research nationwide. Elissa explains the legal challenges schools like Harvard are mounting in response, the stakes involved for the entire higher education sector, and the broader implications for public policy.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Federal Funding as a Lever in Higher Education Policy: The episode opens by surveying recent actions from the Trump administration regarding federal funding for colleges and universities. The administration is using financial levers—pausing, freezing, or cutting funds—to influence policies on campus, particularly tied to issues like DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and antisemitism. Mechanisms and Legality of Federal Control: The speakers discuss how and why the administration has the power to control this funding. The complexities of federal funding—who controls the purse strings, when Congress vs. the executive branch has authority, and what legal mechanisms are at play—come up. The episode highlights that while presidents can make funding conditional, the legality often hinges on whether proper procedures are followed (Administrative Procedures Act), not just on broad authority.Who Really Loses When Funds Are Cut: The speakers emphasize that federal research dollars are not just about student amenities—they fund major scientific, medical, and technological research. The implications of large-scale cuts ripple well beyond campuses, potentially hurting national health, technological innovation, and local economies (since universities are major employers and research hubs).Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Aujourd'hui, Etienne Liebig, Joëlle Dago-Serry et Emmanuel de Villiers débattent de l'actualité autour d'Olivier Truchot.
The Minneapolis City Council voted Thursday to ban discrimination based on criminal record, housing status, height and weight. The new ordinance will go into effect Aug. 1. One result of this new ordinance is that employers and schools in Minneapolis won't be allowed to reject applicants based on a previous arrest, conviction or incarceration. Council member Robin Wonsley noted in the meeting that Minneapolis is the third city to pass such protections. Back in 2022, Atlanta approved a similar ordinance after a campaign led by formerly incarcerated people. Denise Ruben was instrumental in leading that campaign in Atlanta. She traveled to Minneapolis for the city council meeting and joined Minnesota Now to talk about how the ordinance has had an impact in Atlanta.

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave SmithHost: David SmithGuest: Spirited JourneyIn this compelling follow-up conversation, David Smith and Spirited Journey tackle the layered and controversial issues surrounding gender identity, medical ethics, and parental involvement. The episode explores the real-world implications of schools using and withholding students' preferred pronouns from parents, and how that might relate to a broader “slippery slope” involving medical decisions like puberty blockers.The conversation draws parallels with long-standing debates, such as minors accessing birth control without parental consent. However, as David and Spirited Journey emphasize, the stakes are arguably higher when it comes to irreversible medical interventions. They critique the lack of long-term studies on puberty blockers and challenge the idea that these treatments are always “completely reversible.”Listener messages add depth and nuance, offering perspectives on conversion therapy, parental roles, and the consequences of institutional overreach. One listener raises a poignant scenario involving interracial relationships and parental prejudice, asking where schools should draw the line in protecting or informing parents.David and Spirited Journey also dive into the politics of academia, referencing research showing open discrimination against conservatives in psychology, and how ideological bias may shape the type of research that gets funded and published. The episode closes with case studies illustrating the real-world consequences of medical decisions made too early, too quickly, and possibly under pressure from societal norms.Follow me and find More of My Content with link belowhttps://linktr.ee/andanotherthingwithdave[04:16] Slippery slope: From pronouns to medical decisions in schools[05:08] Puberty blockers, long-term effects, and medical reversibility[06:28] Criticism of priorities: Pronouns vs. real-life preparedness[07:20] Clarifying the difference between affirmation therapy and conversion therapy[08:21] Advocacy for equality while critiquing current practices[09:16] Discrimination in academic publishing based on political views[11:08] Bias in research and funding: Is ideology replacing science?[12:13] When did DSM definitions of transgender identity change—and why?[14:13] Listener scenario: Should schools tell parents about interracial relationships?[15:19] Government neutrality in personal identity matters[17:05] Call for better school funding and more school-based mental health services[18:22] Case studies: The consequences of early medical intervention in childrenGender identity in schoolsPronouns and parental rightsPuberty blockers and informed consentPolitical bias in academic researchSchool policies and transparencyCase studies on medical ethicsDSM and transgender diagnosisConservative representation in psychologyMental health in schoolsYouth rights vs. parental rights#PodcastWithDave #AndAnotherThing #ParentalRights #PubertyBlockers #SchoolTransparency #PronounDebate #AffirmativeCare #TransYouth #MedicalEthics #PoliticalBias #PsychologyResearch #DSM5 #GenderIdentity #ConservativeVoices #YouthMentalHealth #EducationPolicy #CaseStudies #InformedConsent
