Judge Milton Mack shares his mission to reform the mental health system by moving from crisis intervention to early treatment and prevention. His groundbreaking work in Michigan demonstrates how changing laws and procedures can dramatically improve outcomes while reducing costs. • Moving from an inpatient model to an outpatient world where over 90% of mental health care now occurs • Changing intervention standards to help people before they reach crisis, not waiting for the "magic moment" of danger • Implementing mediation for mental health cases to increase engagement and compliance • Creating a system that reduces trauma by avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration • Demonstrating success through Genesee County's 70% reduction in hospitalization and 90% treatment compliance • Building coordinated stakeholder systems where law enforcement, hospitals, courts and treatment providers work together • Focusing on upstream solutions to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system • Recognizing that early intervention in mental health is as important as early intervention for cancer We need to intervene early—we wouldn't wait to treat someone with cancer when they're stage four, and we do just as much damage by waiting to treat mental illness. Assisted outpatient treatment is the most humane option, far better than hospitalization, jail, or homelessness. This approach benefits everyone. https://tonymantor.com https://Facebook.com/tonymantor https://instagram.com/tonymantor https://twitter.com/tonymantor https://youtube.com/tonymantormusic intro/outro music bed written by T.

Tom Sego, founder and CEO of BlastWave, discussed his background in chemical engineering and his journey through various industries, including roles at Caterpillar, Eli Lilly, Emerson Electric, Alta Vista, and Apple. He explained that BlastWave was founded to combine Apple’s ease of use with cybersecurity, focusing on protecting critical infrastructure as it becomes increasingly digitized. Tom emphasized that human error is a significant security risk, citing an example from the San Jacinto Water District. This Follower Friday podcast is sponsored by UTSI International. Tom's podcast includes: Critical infrastructure sectors (like oil and gas, transportation, and manufacturing) face higher cyber risks than traditional IT systems due to the severe consequences of attacks and the challenge of securing legacy devices. Integrating old and new technologies is achieved by using a translation mechanism that enables secure communication between legacy systems and modern infrastructure. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a dual impact: it can enhance attackers' ability to automate cyberattacks, but it also offers opportunities to improve security, such as by eliminating vulnerabilities like passwords. Technology solutions are essential for reducing the human burden in security, especially for defending against phishing and reconnaissance attacks. Eliminating attack vectors (e.g., usernames and passwords) can significantly reduce security risks, regardless of how effective or frequent attacks become. Focusing on the safety of critical infrastructure allows people to prioritize what matters most in life, such as family, relationships, and health.

Kris is a professional FBA seller, a podcast host and an account executive at Sellozo. Kris has always been entrepreneurial and enjoyed the thrill of selling items, from selling items at garage sales as a kid to mowing yards and then selling clothes on eBay. Kris learned how to sell physical products on Amazon in 2013, starting out by selling things around the house. He learned the basics of retail arbitrage and started sourcing his own products. Kris launched his first product in 2014 after watching YouTube videos and listening to podcasts. Currently, Kris has four brands and enjoys helping other sellers on Amazon. Kris hosts a podcast with Dustin, another seller, where they talk about industry leaders and other sellers. So welcome to the podcast today, Kris.Kris 00:00:52  That's quite the intro there. Josh. That's pretty good. I'm gonna have to take a couple notes there and kind of implement those on our own podcast. That was really good.Josh 00:01:00  Hey. Well, you have, you have a good bio yourself.Josh 00:01:03  I think that's that's why it sounds so good to you. So I want to dive in a little bit more with, how you're building that audience with insert cards. You know, we do the same thing with our brand. I don't know that I necessarily see that as, like, overly gray. I mean, you look at like a box of, you know, grab some Clorox wipes. Right. What's on the product label for Clorox wipes? it's the P&G website. Right. So like and they have like a, you know, they're not saying like, hey, come register your warranty per se, but like they have links to their social media, right? They have their icons, they have their website on there. So like I don't think people need to be as scared about that. Right. But what are you seeing working really well when it comes to product inserts?Kris 00:01:49  Well if anything good out of Covid came, it's that people were more adapted to QR codes. So people like start to they know what that is now.Kris 00:02:00  And so QR code like that just not people realize, oh I can scan that. So a QR code insert that is has some type of messaging messaging like so thank you. you know, get your free gift. there's, there's things that, that I'm doing now where, somebody scans it, they go to a landing page. in that landing page, they give name, email address, order ID number, and that just kind of verifies that the order matches with Amazon order. So we're not just getting spammed for free gift. Yeah. And they scan it and we just give a free gift out. And, all they got to do is provide us with their name and their email address. we're think about adding their mailing address there, just to kind of have that for like a backup plan to do postcards. I get a random side note here, but I bought something Amazon like literally 60 days later, I got a gift. Like a postcard in the mail. Really? How'd this? How'd this guy know to send me this postcard for another item? So, like, reverse engineering? That's kind of fun for me.Kris 00:03:07  So I'm trying to figure that out, but, Yeah, the insert scan, QR code landing page. Basic information. No first name, last name, email address, and then the order ID. we're using a tool called, It's going away from me. Zapier or Zapier, however you want to pronounce. Okay, that that, links up order IDs so that, when they type in your ID, it matches correctly with the order ID inside your account. and then from there, we send them a free sample and the free sample. You know, it's just something to, like, get them to engage with us, maybe try another product that we're thinking about launching down the road. it also just allows them to, like, feel warm and fuzzy. So maybe that when that review request does come and that that review request is done by Amazon, we're not sending any more like, hey, give us a five star review. We're just leaving it more like providing value. And whenever they get something from Amazon that says, how would you rate your experience with so-and-so brand? Maybe they think, hey, that was a good brand.Kris 00:04:06  I'll leave a five star review, so we're leaving that alone.Josh 00:04:09  So you're not even touching reviews. You're not.Kris 00:04:11  Even to touch.Josh 00:04:12  It. Yep.Kris 00:04:13  Yeah. Just leaving like just value.Josh 00:04:15  Yeah. I agree 100% with the, you know, not even touching reviews. We we've made the same decision because we have opt in flows and all of that. And everybody's like why don't you ask for a review? And it's like, I'm not even touching it with a ten foot pole.Kris 00:04:28  Because not anymore.Josh 00:04:29  That's that's the one thing that like is if Amazo...

There are a lot of ways to bake a great cake. But none of them work if you refuse to commit to the recipe. Show Notes — Double Down or Drift In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor breaks down why so many people have real dreams but never fully pursue them. Using the analogy of baking a cake, he explains that while there are many paths to success, every path requires commitment. There is no single "right way," but there is a wrong one: never fully deciding. Baylor unpacks the true meaning of decision, which comes from the Latin word meaning to cut off all other options. He challenges listeners to stop treating their goals like hobbies and stop protecting themselves with endless backup plans. When your Plan B becomes your security blanket, your real goal quietly becomes optional. This episode is a call to double down. Not through burnout or obsession, but through identity. Saying "this is what I do" instead of "this is something I dabble in." Focusing on becoming exceptional instead of chasing validation. Trusting that if you bring real talent to the table consistently, the right people will eventually find you. The internet has changed the game. Talent travels now. If you are truly great at something, you do not need permission. You create your own seat. What You'll Learn • Why commitment matters more than strategy • The real meaning of deciding and cutting off Plan Bs • How backup plans turn goals into hobbies • Why talent attracts opportunity faster than networking • How focusing on quality creates leverage • Why over-delivering builds momentum Featured Quote "When you give yourself a Plan B, your dream quietly becomes optional."

2025 was a year unlike any other, with politics and sentiment driving markets more than fundamentals. In this episode, host John Bryson welcomes Matt and Emily to share their views on what shaped the year and how they're thinking about portfolio positioning for 2026.Matt and Emily discuss why they're taking a “drafting the market” approach, i.e., remaining fully invested, with a focus on managing risk. They explore the importance of targeting income and diversification, share their outlook on interest rates and sector dynamics, and provide practical ideas for building resilient portfolios in the year ahead.1 Which sectors and trends stood out in 2025, and what do you expect for 2026?Emily: Market leadership broadened in 2025. Tech and communication services stayed in the lead, but industrials, financials, and healthcare also saw strong returns. Momentum was the top-performing factor. Heading into 2026, we're looking to redeploy assets into high-quality stocks and bonds, especially as yields remain attractive. We think it's a good time to move some cash sitting in money market funds into a diversified mix of high-quality bonds and stocks.2 What are the top themes investors should focus on as they position portfolios for 2026?Matt: The first theme is income. After years of strong equity returns, it's getting harder to sustain those gains. There are a lot of income opportunities, with the U.S. bond market providing attractive yields. As interest rates fall, we think investors shouldn't wait too long to allocate capital to lock in these yields.Additionally, investors can look for ways to boost return potential outside U.S. tech—consider mid and small caps. With international stocks looking expensive, we're focused on finding areas with good quality earnings growth, such as industrials and healthcare. But above all, income remains our top focus for 2026.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd Friel on campus at Georgia State University as he engages four different students on topics like truth, meaning, and the afterlife. Focusing on self-examination and the call of the gospel, these students are pointed towards the true transformation that Christ brings us. Segment 1 • Eduardo believes in God, but admits he's drifted from church and isn't sure about heaven or hell. • He thinks he's “a good person”—until he's gently walked through the Ten Commandments. • He hears the full gospel, including God's justice and Jesus paying the penalty. Segment 2 • Joey believes in evolution despite recognizing complex design in software, his field of study. • His conscience gets confronted through a rapid-fire morality check. • He hears the gospel clearly: Jesus died for sinners like him. Segment 3 • Our next student is Catholic in name only, and admits he's not really committed to his faith. • Listens attentively as the purpose of creation and the gospel are explained as a demonstration of God's mercy and grace. • Concedes he's broken several of the Ten Commandments and agrees he's not a good person—then hears how Jesus saves sinners. Segment 4 • Final student of the day grew up in church but walked away. • He isn't hostile towards the Christian faith, but simply apathetic about it. • Left with a challenge to reconsider the true gospel. ___ Thanks for listening!

Jade outlines the simple three-step process.00:07 – Step 1: Understanding yourself — looking in the mirror, owning your patterns, behaviours and emotional responses.00:28 – Why awareness matters: most people try to change their environment before changing themselves.00:43 – Step 2: Understanding your relationships — who you give energy to, who drains you, what needs forgiveness, and why releasing bitterness is freedom.01:29 – “Water off a duck's back”: learning to let go without excusing others.02:03 – Step 3: Understanding your context — the systems, constructs and conditioning shaping your world.02:34 – How knowing the macro helps you navigate your micro.03:17 – Focusing your energy on what you can control instead of what you can't.03:47 – Stress, anxiety and the power of redirecting your energy to aligned action.04:04 – Daily choices: how small practices counteract the noise of the world.04:48 – Thinking like an artist: the mindset that helps people in life and business.05:10 – The five traits artists embody:• Perceptive awareness• Social fluency• Visionary communication• Creative intelligence• Resilient self-leadership06:59 – Why artists are among the most resilient people in the world.08:11 – Who is an artist?

Focusing on the most salacious elements of the Epstein scandal—photos, social associations, provocative rumors, and unverifiable claims—ultimately obscures the most consequential aspects of the case. While those details draw attention, they are often difficult to substantiate and easy for powerful figures to dismiss as tabloid sensationalism or partisan hysteria. This dynamic allows individuals like Donald Trump to deflect scrutiny by arguing that critics are obsessed with gossip rather than facts. When the public debate centers on what cannot be conclusively proven, it weakens legitimate inquiries and shifts attention away from demonstrable conduct such as institutional obstruction, delayed disclosures, and efforts to limit transparency. In effect, sensationalism becomes a shield rather than a weapon, blurring the line between serious investigation and speculative outrage.More importantly, an overemphasis on salacious claims gives cover to those seeking to bury the scandal altogether. By encouraging critics to overreach, it allows defenders to collapse the entire Epstein issue into a debate about conspiracy theories rather than accountability. The most critical elements of the scandal—the use of power to suppress records, resist subpoenas, control narratives, and prevent full public disclosure—are procedural and often unglamorous, but they are also provable. History shows that major reckonings rarely begin with the most shocking allegations; they begin with exposing cover-ups, paper trails, and institutional misconduct. When attention is redirected away from obstruction and toward spectacle, it delays accountability and helps ensure that Epstein's network remains protected long after the crimes themselves are no longer in dispute.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Joy doesn't just happen, our hearts have to be tuned to it. In this third week of Advent, Karen and Emily talk honestly about how hard it can be to find joy in the middle of exhaustion, family stress, and the very real unmet expectations of the season. Using the picture of tuning an instrument, they unpack how joy comes when we continually refocus our hearts on Jesus, not on our circumstances. If you're longing for a steadier joy this Christmas season, this conversation is for you!

What if a “wrong” answer tells you more than a correct one? In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Derek Briggs, professor of educational assessment at the University of Colorado Boulder, to unpack why assessment should go beyond testing, and instead focus on progress over mastery. Derek shows how context and thinking processes matter just as much as outcomes, and why mastery is not always simply laid out. To support a deeper understanding of progress, we explore a roadmap for measuring growth throughout your day-to-day. Start with a clear baseline, define where students are headed, and chart the route with smart, formative checkpoints. Derek shares an approach to “triage with intention”: use periodic measures to inform flexible grouping, then rotate focused attention across groups so support stays equitable. Derek also shares the power of strategic questioning, including entry and exit tickets. Over time, these small insights into a student's depth of knowledge add up to a clear picture that guides instruction.Derek goes on to discuss the power of community. Inside the classroom, heterogeneous groups help students model strategies, language, and persistence for one another. Across the school, teachers who bring open-ended student work to the table can discuss expectations, co-create rubrics, and see patterns that single classrooms miss. And when families understand the learning goals and what quality work looks like, home practice becomes purposeful and encouraging. The result is a culture where curiosity replaces judgment, students take ownership of growth, and assessment becomes a daily driver of learning.Read the blog: CurriculumAssociates.com/blog/Follow us on Twitter: @CurriculumAssocFollow us on Instagram: @MyiReadyHave feedback, questions, or want to be a guest?

Focusing on the most salacious elements of the Epstein scandal—photos, social associations, provocative rumors, and unverifiable claims—ultimately obscures the most consequential aspects of the case. While those details draw attention, they are often difficult to substantiate and easy for powerful figures to dismiss as tabloid sensationalism or partisan hysteria. This dynamic allows individuals like Donald Trump to deflect scrutiny by arguing that critics are obsessed with gossip rather than facts. When the public debate centers on what cannot be conclusively proven, it weakens legitimate inquiries and shifts attention away from demonstrable conduct such as institutional obstruction, delayed disclosures, and efforts to limit transparency. In effect, sensationalism becomes a shield rather than a weapon, blurring the line between serious investigation and speculative outrage.More importantly, an overemphasis on salacious claims gives cover to those seeking to bury the scandal altogether. By encouraging critics to overreach, it allows defenders to collapse the entire Epstein issue into a debate about conspiracy theories rather than accountability. The most critical elements of the scandal—the use of power to suppress records, resist subpoenas, control narratives, and prevent full public disclosure—are procedural and often unglamorous, but they are also provable. History shows that major reckonings rarely begin with the most shocking allegations; they begin with exposing cover-ups, paper trails, and institutional misconduct. When attention is redirected away from obstruction and toward spectacle, it delays accountability and helps ensure that Epstein's network remains protected long after the crimes themselves are no longer in dispute.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty Key Takeaways  Engineering Thinking FrameworkEmbrace failure as discovery, foster insatiable curiosity, and iterate relentlessly The core principle: break things, test repeatedly, and view each failure as eliminating one wrong approachIf you can dream it, you can build it through iterative experimentation.Naive Optimism + Strategic ExecutionTurn ideas into action by combining an optimistic vision with a practical breakdown: define your end goal, decompose it into simple steps, identify knowledge gaps, and test incrementallyTransform fear into curiosity through hands-on building and reflection on lessons learned, rather than ego protection The Immersion Weekend Method: Dedicate 48 hours of complete immersion to explore new fascinations – consume every book, video, and resource available. This intensive sprint reveals whether something deserves permanent schedule integration and helps you fall in love with the process of incremental masteryDual-Track Success ModelAvoid binary thinking: maintain steady employment while pursuing passion projects during nights and weekends until they gain tractionThe most successful ventures pair a 10x visionary thinker with a logistics master (Jobs + Napoleon model), preventing burnout by keeping founders focused on their core love rather than pure managementContent that resonates triggers five core emotions: Adventure, humor, negativity, inspiration, or surprise More broadly: control only what's in your sphere of influence, commit to “hell yes” decisions exclusively, and recognize that outcomes revert to the mean Things are never as extreme as they appear in the moment.Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat idea have you been sitting on lately?

The holidays can feel overwhelming—shopping, decorating, cooking, and trying to create picture-perfect moments. Yet Scripture reminds us that amid the chaos, the true gift of Christmas is Christ Himself. Just as Mary gave birth in a humble stable without the comforts she expected, we too are called to make room for Jesus in the midst of our busy, stressful seasons (Luke 2:7). By simplifying, prioritizing, and focusing on His presence, we discover that the peace and joy of Christmas don’t come from perfection—they come from Him. Highlights Holiday stress often overshadows the true purpose of Christmas: celebrating Jesus’ birth. Mary’s humble circumstances remind us that God’s plans don’t rely on comfort or convenience. Simplifying holiday tasks—limiting gifts, delegating meals, reducing activities—can create space for Christ. Focusing on Jesus transforms ordinary moments into meaningful celebrations. Gratitude for God’s provision, even amid financial or personal challenges, brings peace. Small adjustments in expectations allow families to experience joy without unnecessary stress. Making intentional space for Christ is the ultimate gift we can give ourselves and others. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Preparing Him Room: Making Space for Christ This ChristmasBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.” - Luke 2:7 It was all too much to bear. When my kids were little, they talked about what they wanted for Christmas for months. They made their list for Santa, wrote him letters, and even dropped it in the mailbox. As a mother, I would do anything to give them the perfect Christmas. I made sure they got everything they asked for, even if it meant starting early and taking money out of our paycheck each week to save for Christmas presents. But one year, my husband was planting a church, and finances were just too tight. I did my best to get the kids the presents that they wanted. But with all the wrapping, shopping, and a full-time job, while my husband was church planting, it added more stress to my life than I cared to admit. Although it was a magical moment to watch my kids open gifts on Christmas morning, the stress and irritation of all the preparation beforehand made it feel as if it simply wasn't worth it. I was putting all this stress on myself to write Christmas cards, decorate the house, and care for my children, in addition to working at a daycare where I cared for two- and three-year-olds all day long, only to come home to my own set of two- and three-year-olds. This would be enough to make anyone feel the extra weight of stress. Compelled by the idea of giving my kids the perfect Christmas, I stressed myself out, worrying about finances and spending all my extra time wrapping presents and writing cards. When Christmas Day came, I had created a holiday that would have made even Norman Rockwell jealous. But it was missing one thing: Jesus. Although my family and I attended Christmas Eve services, my kids lit candles, sang songs, and watched Christmas specials, it felt as if Jesus was missing from the holiday. Because it was so focused on the moment of opening gifts and getting my family what they wanted for Christmas, it felt as if I had wasted all my time and energy creating a magical moment that would only last a moment. Because of all the stress, I had laid aside my quiet time with the Lord, neglected to pray, and hadn't picked up my Bible in months. For a holiday that should be focused on the actual reason for this season, I had forgotten to make space for Christ. Maybe you can relate to the story above. All the Christmas wrapping, giving, and writing Christmas cards may seem too much to bear during the holiday season for you as well. Maybe buying gifts, long lines at the store, mounting traffic, and increasingly mean people seem like too much stress for you to bear, too. But it doesn't have to be this way. Mary experienced a similar situation. As she made the long travel, heavy in the throes of labor, I imagine she expected a comfortable room with which to give birth. But when she found out that there was no room at the inn, her expectations quickly shattered. But Mary didn't give in to the stress or leave God out of her situation. Instead, she made the best of what she had. She traveled to a nearby stable and, in less-than-ideal conditions, gave birth to our Savior, who, in turn, has given generations eternal life. Although Mary's situation was less than ideal, she still completed her ultimate purpose. The Christmas story can give us hope that, despite what we might be going through —financial struggles, health crises, loss of loved ones, etc.—we can find hope. While our situation for the holidays seems less than spectacular, we can make do with what God has given us. There's no better time than the Christmas season to give thanks for all that God has done. Minimize Christmas shopping this year. Opt to give gift cards rather than wrapping a bunch of presents. Limit the number of gifts you give to each person. Explain to them that finances are too tight this year, and the stress is just too much. Your stressful situation can quickly become less so with a bit of understanding and compassion from your family members. Ask family members to pitch in this year by giving food for the holiday meal, or skip hosting the traditional holiday meal and go out for dinner instead. Whatever you need to do to make the best of your holiday situation, take Mary's example and don't forget the ultimate purpose of why we celebrate Christmas. Father, let us be people who make space for you during the holiday season. Let us not crowd you out with copious amounts of gifts, wrapping, and decorating. Instead, let us remember the ultimate gift you have given us and live our lives knowing that we have already received the best gift of all. Amen.

David Ackert is making a list and checking it twice — but he's no Santa Claus. The gifts he brings are practical, powerful insights for professionals who want to grow their businesses and advance their careers. As co-founder and CEO of Ackert, Inc. and its subsidiary, PipelinePlus, David challenges the long-held belief that success depends on building a massive network of connections. In his view, quantity is a distraction. What truly matters is cultivating a small, carefully curated list of 9 to 30 "high-value" relationships — the people who have the greatest likelihood of helping you reach your goals. Everyone else? Send them a Christmas card. David is the author of The Short List: How to Drive Business Development by Focusing on the People Who Matter Most, an Amazon bestseller and Gold Winner of the 2025 Nonfiction Book Awards. This week on Monday Morning Radio, he explains how to identify and prioritize the relationships that matter most, how to gracefully prune an overgrown network, and how to create meaningful new connections — even with influential strangers. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

In the midst of colorful creations made from old plastic bottles cut to resemble feathers and even lampshades, a tour guide at the New Orleans museum shared the thinking behind the use of such material. “For a city that’s had such hardship, we’ve also learned to use what we have to create joy and beauty. We don’t focus only on the hard times; we celebrate the resilience.” Nehemiah and the Israelites also faced hardship but resiliently pressed on in God’s joy. They’d been captured and taken away from their home, and at last were able to return to Jerusalem from exile (Nehemiah 4:7-12). But upon arriving, they still faced opposition to rebuild the wall that protected Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6). Even after the wall was completed and they gathered for a celebration, hearing the words of God’s law, their spirits were heavy. They were “weeping as they listened” (8:9). But Nehemiah reminded them that they could find joy and strength in God—remembering who He was and what He’d brought them through. Nehemiah told them, “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (v. 10). Focusing on God can give us joy and strength too, especially when our circumstances seem dire. God’s ability, character, and the Scriptures can renew our minds and bring us joy (v. 12)—providing the strength and resilience we need.

“A lot of things become possible when [the nation state] is not the only framework,” Melissa Byrnes reminds us in this deeply intimate local history of North African migrants in France. In this conversation about her new book, Making Space: Neighbors, Officials, and North African Migrants in the Suburbs of Paris and Lyon (U Nebraska Press, 2024) we learn about how questions Byrnes had about how we live with difference in our own communities brought her to this research on the suburbs of French cities in the dwindling decades of French imperialism. Focusing on four French suburbs from the 1950s to the 1970s, Byrnes examines how local officials – from mayors and city councilors to religious leaders to those operating public housing units – talked about North African migrants and the problems and opportunities of migration. In tracing the motivations of these French officials and local leaders, Byrnes examines what she calls “locally lived migration policies” to see how communities tried to make space for their neighbors against the backdrop of a national housing crisis, divergent political ideologies, and decolonization. Melissa K. Byrnes is professor of modern European and world history at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Her research focuses on migration and activism in the context of French imperialism and decolonization and she previously coedited a volume on the colonial politics of population. Her new book, Making Space: Neighbors, Officials, and North African Migrants in the Suburbs of Paris and Lyon, is available now from Nebraska University Press, 2023. Learn more about your ad choices.
