Podcast appearances and mentions of ethan hollander

This week, we bring you two stories about the science of morality. Or morality in science. Either way you want to look at it. Part 1: Political scientist Ethan Hollander interviews a Nazi war criminal as part of his research. Part 2: As a graduate student, Cather Simpson is excited to present her work -- but then her adviser lies about it. Ethan J. Hollander is a professor of political science at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana. He is also the author of Hegemony and the Holocaust: State Power and Jewish Survival in Occupied Europe. Hollander's published scholarship also includes research on democratization in Eastern Europe and on the Arab Spring. At Wabash, Dr. Hollander teaches courses on the Politics of the Middle East, Ethnic Conflict and Genocide, European Politics, and Research Methods and Statistics. He is a native of Miami Beach, and received his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego in 2006. When Cather Simpson graduated from high-school in the USA, she was certain she was going to become a neurosurgeon. She was very, very wrong. In her first year at uni, she discovered scientific research and got completely hooked. She is now a Professor of Physics and Chemical Sciences at the University of Auckland, where she started and directed a super-fun ultrafast laser lab called the Photon Factory. These days, she's morphed into an entrepreneurial academic. The first company she co-founded, Engender Technologies, uses lasers to sort sperm by sex for the dairy industry. The second, Orbis Diagnostics, uses lasers for infectious disease testing at point-of-care – she is currently CEO there. The latest, Luminoma DX, uses light to screen more effectively for skin cancers. When she's not enjoying the pleasure and satisfaction from using lasers to solve the knotty problems presented by Mother Nature, she's doing 5000 piece puzzles and being “Schrodinger's Mom” – simultaneously the world's best and worst mother – to two lovely sons.

Welcome back to another episode of Crawfordsville Connection! This week we are joined in the studio by Wabash College Community Partnership Coordinator Leann Parrish, Wabash College Student Clayton Allen, and City Councilman and Wabash College Professor Dr. Ethan Hollander.  Leann is new to the Wabash family and gives us more information about her new position at the college, and how she hopes to better connect the city and Wabash students. You can contact Leann at parrishl@wabash.edu.   Dr. Hollander and Clayton talk to us about their upcoming Free Speech Discussion series event at Fusion 54 on November 30 at 7 p.m. Dr. Hollander will be the speaker with his talk titled "Is Democracy Broken?" The event is open to the public, and those who are interested in attending can sign up here.  To ask any questions about this podcast or to submit topic ideas, please email Abigail Campbell at acampbell@crawfordsville-in.gov.

Democracy can't be on the decline…can it? With the breakdown in civil dialogue and the current division in our society, how sure can we be that Democracy will be here in 100 years? Even 50 years? Join faithful host Josh Burtram as he interviews Dr. Ethan Hollander, Associate Professor of Political Science at Wabash university, to talk about the decline of democracies around the world and the rise of autocratic strongmen. Tune in to this fascinating conversation about the current state of democracy, the trend in which it's moving, and what, if anything, we can do to keep it alive! Guest Bio:Ethan J.

Dr. Ethan Hollander is an Associate Professor of Political Science at Wabash College. In his own words, “I love my job, this college, and its community because it gives me the ability to teach and learn from the most engaged students an educator could hope for, to ask questions about important and fascinating social and political phenomena, and to be a part of a dynamic and supportive community.” “In both my teaching and my scholarly research, I hope to bridge academic disciplines in an effort to better understand the world in which we live. For example, I am writing a book on the Holocaust (Hegemony and the Holocaust: State Power and Jewish Survival in Occupied Europe) which uses the concepts and methods of contemporary political science to answer a fascinating historical question: Why did more Jewish people survive in some German-occupied countries compared to others during World War II? The answer is not what you might expect, and forces us to reconsider everything from our understanding of politics and history, to the moral and ethical questions that arise from warfare, imperialism, genocide and state-sponsored violence.” “My interdisciplinary approach also informs my teaching, where my current teaching portfolio includes such varied courses as Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict; European Politics; Politics of the Middle East; and Research Methods and Statistics. I also enjoy sharing the process of original scholarly research with my students, and have worked with students on topics such as warfare, the Holocaust and genocide, European Union immigration policy, South African electoral reform, and Vietnam War photography, just to name a few. Part of the beauty of working in a small college is the opportunity to share the learning process with my students who, in turn, teach me more than I could learn on my own.” “Finally, this community allows me to pursue my non-academic interests, which include hiking, pottery, and making good food (like yogurt and cheese). Indeed, my primary personal interest, exploring my community, is connected with my primary scholarly endeavor: To learn new things and to share the process of learning with those around me. That's a job from which I never hope to retire.”

In her first year at uni, she got discovered scientific research and got completely hooked. She is now a Professor of Physics and Chemical Sciences at the University of Auckland, where she runs a super-fun laser lab called the Photon Factory. The Photon Factory uses exotic pulsed lasers to enable all New Zealand scientists accomplish their goals, from improving products for industry to helping school students with science fair projects. Working with the Photon Factory’s 25+ extraordinary physicists, chemists and engineers, Cather gets to study everything from how molecules convert light into more useful forms of energy to how to sort sperm by sex for the dairy industry. When she’s not enjoying the pleasure and satisfaction from using lasers to solve the knotty problems presented by Mother Nature, she’s doing puzzles with her partner Tom and being “Schrodinger’s Mom” – simultaneously the world’s best and worst mother – to two lovely teenage boys.
