Why do so many citizens continue to support politicians who undermine democracy? And why have nationalist appeals become such a powerful tool for democratic backsliding? In this episode of the People, Power, Politics podcast, Nic Cheeseman talks to Filip Milačić about his new book, Abandoning Democracy for the Nation (Cambridge UP, 2026). Drawing on evidence from Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Israel and Turkey, Milačić argues that democratic erosion is often driven not simply by populism or polarization, but by political leaders convincing citizens that the nation itself is under threat. The discussion explores why democratically minded voters sometimes accept attacks on democratic institutions, whether this argument travels beyond the cases in the book, and what lessons it offers for those seeking to defend democracy.Transcript hereGuest:Filip Milačić is a Senior Researcher for Democracy and Society at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung's Democracy of the Future officein Vienna, visiting professor at the Central European University and a Research Affiliate at CEU's Democracy Institute. His research focuses on nationalism, democratic backsliding and resistance, political identity and party politics, with a particular emphasis on Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. He is the author of Abandoning Democracy for the Nation, a new book exploring the relationship between nationalism and democratic erosion. Through his academic research and policy work, Milačić examines the forces shaping the future of democracy and the challenges facing democratic societies today.Presenter:Dr Nic Cheeseman is the Professor of Democracy and International Development at the University of Birmingham and Founding Director of CEDAR.The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world.

In this episode of the podcast, we dive into a transformative, human-centered approach to supporting individuals living with dementia. Traditional dementia care often relies on redirection, isolation, or medical sedation to manage challenging behaviors. However, this conversation shifts the focus toward understanding what those behaviors are actually trying to communicate—unmet physical, emotional, and psychological needs. Key Topics Covered: Moving Beyond Redirection: Why traditional management strategies often fail to address the root causes of distress, and how to transition toward empathetic, needs-based support. Decoding Behavior as Communication: Learning to interpret non-verbal cues, expressions of frustration, and sensory overload when words are no longer accessible. The Systemic Gaps in Care: Examining the harsh realities of isolation, over-sedation, and emotional neglect within care environments—and how care providers can actively drive change. Fostering Freedom and Belonging: Practical methods for creating environments where individuals with dementia retain a sense of autonomy, safety, and community connection. Key Takeaways: Behavior is Communication: Distressing behaviors are rarely unprovoked; they are frequently attempts to express pain, fear, loneliness, or sensory discomfort. Empathy Over Control: Prioritizing genuine human connection and validation yields far better long-term outcomes than attempting to redirect or overpower the individual. Actionable Care Strategies: Simple shifts in environment, routine, and staff engagement can drastically reduce the reliance on chemical or physical restraints. Whether you are a professional care provider, a family caregiver, or a healthcare advocate, this episode provides actionable insights and a powerful new lens for supporting those living with cognitive decline. About Dr. Carson Dr. Jennifer Carson is a critical gerontologist and the Founding Director of the Dementia Engagement, Education and Research (DEER) Program in the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Reno. Her work focuses on combatting ageism and improving quality of life in long-term care.

Part one of this three-part special looks back at the seven years of the podcast to ask what we have learnt about the science, what surprised us, and what comes next. Seven years and 100 episodes after the Climate Risk Podcast began, we're taking the opportunity to step back and ask what we have learned, what has changed, and what the years ahead may hold.  In the first part of this special three-part miniseries, we return to the science. From climate tipping points and cascading risks to the role of oceans, nature and food systems, our past guests have repeatedly shown that climate risk is nonlinear, deeply interconnected and difficult to predict with precision.  Drawing on some of the most memorable conversations from the podcast, we explore:  Why tipping points and nonlinear change make climate change such a profound risk management challenge;  How interconnected systems, from oceans and biodiversity to food and infrastructure, can amplify and transmit climate shocks;  And whether events in the real world are unfolding in line with scientific models, or faster than we expected.  -------- To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr  For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate  If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com -------- Today's Speakers Jo Paisley, President of the GARP Risk Institute  Jo is President of the GARP Risk Institute, the thought leadership arm of the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP). Set up in early 2018, the Institute now focuses on climate and nature risk management thought leadership.

Her last role was as a Director of the Supervisory Risk Specialists Division within the Prudential Regulation Authority, where she was heavily involved in the design and execution of the UK's first concurrent stress test in 2014. Prior to joining GARP, she worked as HSBC's Global Head of Stress Testing. Prof. Tim Lenton OBE, Founding Director, Global Systems Institute, and Chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science, University of Exeter Prof. Tim Lenton OBE is the founding Director of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter and Chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science. He has more than 25 years research experience, focused on modelling of the biosphere, climate, biogeochemical cycles, and associated tipping points. Tim is renowned for his work identifying climate tipping points, which informed the setting of the 1.5C climate target, associated net zero targets, and nationally determined contributions.   Tim works with policymakers and businesses helping them assess the risks of climate change and nature loss and highlighting the opportunities for 'positive tipping points' that can accelerate change towards net zero. In 2023, Professor Lenton led a team of more than 200 people from over 90 organisations in 26 countries to produce an authoritative assessment of the risks and opportunities of both negative and positive tipping points in the Earth system and society.

Is freedom always an absolute good? For freedom to be beneficial and practical, does it need constraining? Are attacks on freedom really the first step to tyranny?From freedom from tyranny and poverty to the right to free speech, we assume freedom is always desirable. But critics argue the consequences of freedom are less obviously desirable than we imagine and frequently unknown. Kafka wrote, "It is often better to be in chains than to be free," and Sartre that, "we're condemned to be free" since we are responsible for everything we do. And in wealthier countries where citizens are freer from the hunt for basic necessities like food, water, and housing, studies show depression and anxiety are more prevalent, not less.Daniel Markovits is Professor of Law at Yale Law School and the Founding Director of the Center for the Study of Private Law.

This week, Thomas Spiteri speaks with Dr Jahnavi Phalkey, historian of science and technology, filmmaker, and Founding Director of Science Gallery Bengaluru. Phalkey is the author of Atomic State: Big Science in Twentieth Century India, and producer-director of the documentary film Cyclotron (2020) – a film about the world's oldest functional particle accelerator and the people who keep it running today. Her writing spans the history of science, technology, and the state in twentieth-century India.The conversation traces Phalkey's route into the history of science by way of political sociology, silent cinema, and a chance funded place at Georgia Tech under John Krige, and her eventual return to studying India after finding its absence conspicuous in accounts of twentieth-century science. She discusses how Atomic State pushes back against two dominant framings in the historiography of science in India: the "tools of empire" argument for the imperial period, and the scarcity of histories of Indian science after independence. Drawing on the early efforts to build particle accelerators in Kolkata and Bangalore, and the eventual rise of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research and the Department of Atomic Energy, she describes how the demands of a single, resource-intensive field reshaped the relationship between Indian science and the Indian state — and how that "big science" model went on to marginalise both university research and smaller-scale inquiry.The discussion broadens into Phalkey's work reframing India and China as "conceptual sites" rather than deviant "cases" measured against a European norm, and closes with her current thinking on critique in the history and philosophy of science, informed in part by Bruno Latour, and on what it means for historians of science to help the public make meaning of research in an age of climate change, AI, and new gene technologies.In this episode, Phalkey:Describes her winding path into history of scienceExplains what drew her back to studying science in India specifically, after finding it missing from standard histories of twentieth-century scienceOutlines the two historiographical tendencies Atomic State argues against: the "tools of empire" framework and the neglect of post-independence scienceDiscusses the concept of India and China as "conceptual sites," against the limits of a Europe-benchmarked history of scienceTraces the early, fragile efforts to build particle accelerators in Kolkata and Bangalore, and the wartime origins of the Tata Institute of Fundamental ResearchReflects on how the everyday bureaucracy of running a national laboratory shaped the entangled relationship between Indian science and the postcolonial stateDiscusses her documentary Cyclotron and the material, practical difficulties of building and maintaining a particle accelerator in a resource-constrained settingConsiders how the "big science" model, centred on the Department of Atomic Energy, drew resources and people away from Indian universities and small-scale researchCalls for a connected rather than a difference-based history of science in the Global South, and reflects on reconstituting the meaning of critique in history and philosophy of scienceRelevant LinksAtomic State: Big Science in Twentieth Century India — Permanent BlackCyclotron (2020) — documentary directed and produced by Jahnavi PhalkeyScience Gallery BengaluruScience of GiantsDevi Prize – for promoting "public engagement with science" (2024)Infosys Prize, Humanities ( 2023)Mentioned scholarshipDavid Arnold, Science, Technology and Medicine in Colonial India (Cambridge History of India)Bruno Latour, "Why Has Critique Run Out of Steam?"

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Schenita D. Randolph. A nurse scientist, Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing, and Founding Director of the HEAT Lab (Health Equity, Advocacy, and Trust Lab). The conversation focuses on health disparities impacting Black communities, HIV prevention, the role of nurse scientists, systemic barriers in healthcare, and the importance of community-driven solutions to improve health outcomes. Dr. Randolph also discusses her journey from North Carolina A&T State University to becoming a nationally recognized researcher and advocate for health equity. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the critical work being done to address health inequities in Black communities. Educate listeners about HIV prevention and awareness, particularly among Black women. Explain the role of nurse scientists in research, healthcare innovation, and public health. Discuss the impact of systemic barriers on healthcare access and outcomes. Promote community partnerships as a strategy for improving public health. Encourage greater awareness, testing, prevention, and engagement around HIV and other health challenges. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Play a Vital Role in Developing Healthcare Leaders Dr. Randolph credited North Carolina A&T State University for laying the foundation for her nursing career and leadership journey. She emphasized the significant impact HBCUs have had on educating healthcare professionals and advancing minority representation in nursing. Lesson: HBCUs continue to be powerful institutions for developing future leaders across multiple professions, including healthcare. 2. Nursing Is Much More Than Bedside Care Dr. Randolph challenged common misconceptions about nursing, explaining that nurses serve as entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, educators, scientists, and healthcare innovators. As a nurse scientist, her work focuses on developing evidence-based interventions that reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for underserved communities. Lesson: Nursing encompasses a broad range of leadership, research, and public health roles beyond traditional patient care. 3. Nurse Scientists Are Underrepresented Dr. Randolph revealed that less than one percent of nurse scientists are Black, highlighting the need for greater representation in healthcare research and academic leadership. Lesson: Diverse voices in science and research are essential for addressing health challenges that disproportionately affect underserved populations. 4. The HEAT Lab Uses Community Partnerships to Address Health Inequities The HEAT Lab brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, community advocates, business owners, and local organizations to address health disparities through collaboration. Rather than imposing solutions, the lab works directly with communities to develop culturally relevant interventions. Lesson: Meaningful change happens when communities are actively involved in creating solutions. 5. HIV Remains a Significant Public Health Challenge Dr. Randolph emphasized that HIV remains a major issue, particularly among Black women in the Southern United States. She noted that Black women account for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses and that prevention efforts must continue despite advances in treatment. Lesson: HIV is still a critical public health concern and requires continued education, prevention, and awareness. 6. Prevention Tools Exist but Are Underutilized A major focus of Dr. Randolph's work centers on increasing awareness and access to PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. She noted that many women do not realize PrEP is an option for them because healthcare providers often fail to discuss it and public messaging has historically focused on other populations. Lesson: Awareness and access are often just as important as medical innovation. 7. Health Disparities Are Influenced by Systemic Barriers The discussion explored how factors such as healthcare access, economic inequities, education, housing, food access, and systemic racism contribute to unequal health outcomes. Dr. Randolph stressed that health disparities are not solely the result of personal decisions but are shaped by broader systems and structural barriers. Lesson: Effective health solutions must address both individual behavior and systemic obstacles. 8. Medical Distrust Has Real Consequences Dr. Randolph explained that negative healthcare experiences often influence whether people seek treatment, trust providers, or engage in preventive care. Building trust is a crucial component of improving health outcomes in underserved communities. Lesson: Trust is a critical factor in healthcare engagement and adherence. 9.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Schenita D. Randolph. A nurse scientist, Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing, and Founding Director of the HEAT Lab (Health Equity, Advocacy, and Trust Lab). The conversation focuses on health disparities impacting Black communities, HIV prevention, the role of nurse scientists, systemic barriers in healthcare, and the importance of community-driven solutions to improve health outcomes. Dr. Randolph also discusses her journey from North Carolina A&T State University to becoming a nationally recognized researcher and advocate for health equity. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the critical work being done to address health inequities in Black communities. Educate listeners about HIV prevention and awareness, particularly among Black women. Explain the role of nurse scientists in research, healthcare innovation, and public health. Discuss the impact of systemic barriers on healthcare access and outcomes. Promote community partnerships as a strategy for improving public health. Encourage greater awareness, testing, prevention, and engagement around HIV and other health challenges. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Play a Vital Role in Developing Healthcare Leaders Dr. Randolph credited North Carolina A&T State University for laying the foundation for her nursing career and leadership journey. She emphasized the significant impact HBCUs have had on educating healthcare professionals and advancing minority representation in nursing. Lesson: HBCUs continue to be powerful institutions for developing future leaders across multiple professions, including healthcare. 2. Nursing Is Much More Than Bedside Care Dr. Randolph challenged common misconceptions about nursing, explaining that nurses serve as entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, educators, scientists, and healthcare innovators. As a nurse scientist, her work focuses on developing evidence-based interventions that reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for underserved communities. Lesson: Nursing encompasses a broad range of leadership, research, and public health roles beyond traditional patient care. 3. Nurse Scientists Are Underrepresented Dr. Randolph revealed that less than one percent of nurse scientists are Black, highlighting the need for greater representation in healthcare research and academic leadership. Lesson: Diverse voices in science and research are essential for addressing health challenges that disproportionately affect underserved populations. 4. The HEAT Lab Uses Community Partnerships to Address Health Inequities The HEAT Lab brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, community advocates, business owners, and local organizations to address health disparities through collaboration. Rather than imposing solutions, the lab works directly with communities to develop culturally relevant interventions. Lesson: Meaningful change happens when communities are actively involved in creating solutions. 5. HIV Remains a Significant Public Health Challenge Dr. Randolph emphasized that HIV remains a major issue, particularly among Black women in the Southern United States. She noted that Black women account for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses and that prevention efforts must continue despite advances in treatment. Lesson: HIV is still a critical public health concern and requires continued education, prevention, and awareness. 6. Prevention Tools Exist but Are Underutilized A major focus of Dr. Randolph's work centers on increasing awareness and access to PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. She noted that many women do not realize PrEP is an option for them because healthcare providers often fail to discuss it and public messaging has historically focused on other populations. Lesson: Awareness and access are often just as important as medical innovation. 7. Health Disparities Are Influenced by Systemic Barriers The discussion explored how factors such as healthcare access, economic inequities, education, housing, food access, and systemic racism contribute to unequal health outcomes. Dr. Randolph stressed that health disparities are not solely the result of personal decisions but are shaped by broader systems and structural barriers. Lesson: Effective health solutions must address both individual behavior and systemic obstacles. 8. Medical Distrust Has Real Consequences Dr. Randolph explained that negative healthcare experiences often influence whether people seek treatment, trust providers, or engage in preventive care. Building trust is a crucial component of improving health outcomes in underserved communities. Lesson: Trust is a critical factor in healthcare engagement and adherence. 9. Community Leadership Is Essential The HEAT Lab works closely with barbers, beauty salons, community organizations, and local leaders to spread health information and reach people where they are.

What's ahead for sustainability jobs, skillsets and recruiting

ESG Insider: A podcast from S&P Global

War in the Middle East, climate change, AI: These are just some of the major factors reshaping the sustainability landscape in 2026. In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're asking: What does all this mean for careers in sustainability?  To understand how recruiting is changing for sustainability roles at all levels, we talk to Kurt Harrison, who founded and co-leads the global sustainability practice at leadership advisory and search firm Russell Reynolds Associates.  Despite recent headwinds, "sustainability is alive and well," Kurt says. "We're now more in the implementation and operationalization phase of sustainability, where it's not driving a ton of new hiring, but it is certainly a key component of any credible corporate strategy."  We explore how the Chief Sustainability Officer role is evolving in an interview with Ellen Weinreb, founder of boutique search firm Weinreb Group. She tells us why the US has seen a drop in the number of executives holding the CSO title, how AI is impacting the job search, and what she's hearing in the recruiting process.   "Companies are focused on adding value, and so they're looking for sustainability leaders who can demonstrate the value," Ellen says.   And to understand the skillsets that sustainability professionals need to succeed in this changing environment, we talk to Tensie Whelan. Tensie was the Founding Director of the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business, where she is now a senior advisor. She explains how the center trains university students from all backgrounds to navigate changing talent expectations in 2026.  "One of the things that we're working on is engaging students and executives around how they can invest or drive sustainability at speed and scale through the understanding that, actually, this is part of business strategy that will drive better enterprise value," Tensie says.  Further listening:   Hear our previous podcast episodes about sustainability jobs and recruiting:   What's ahead for green, climate and sustainability jobs | S&P Global  How the global ESG recruiting landscape is changing | S&P Global  The rise of the ESG controller in the sustainability talent landscape | S&P Global  Listen to our interviews with CSOs across industries and geographies:  CSO Insights by All Things Sustainable - YouTube  Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global  DISCLAIMER       By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Dr. Dana Suskind is the Founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning and Public Health, and the Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program. She has dedicated her research and clinical work to optimizing foundational brain development, with an emphasis on helping parents and caregivers understand their power as brain architects. Her new book, Human Raised: Nurturing Connection, Curiosity and Lifelong Learning in the Age of AI, explores how families can stay grounded in human connection as AI becomes part of how kids learn, socialize, and think.In this conversation, we went beyond the usual questions about screen time and app safety to ask what we risk losing if we outsource too much of childhood to systems built for optimization rather than connection. We talked about how the way children are raised today intersects with the future of democracy, misinformation, and civic life, and why it matters that many of the people building these technologies keep their own kids away from them. We also talked honestly about how parents can hold the tension between preparing their children for a high tech future and protecting a meaningful, deeply human childhood, without falling into fear or fatalism.Connect with Dr. Dana: Website | Instagram | Substack | Buy the BookIf you're looking to unleash your potential, find your personal, professional, or political fire, and to connect with a community who is doing the same, click here to learn more.

What if every college graduate left campus with the mindset, confidence, and skills to solve complex problems and create opportunities wherever they go? In this episode, Nicole Jansen sits down with Jeff Meade, Founding Director of Entrepreneurship at Paul Quinn College, where every student learns to think and act like an entrepreneur. Rather than preparing students for jobs that may not exist in a few years, Jeff and his team are equipping them to solve real-world problems, create value, embrace failure as part of the learning process, and confidently adapt to an ever-changing world.

No one likes to throw up. But for some, the mere thought of vomiting is a Level 12 emergency that halts life in its tracks. Imagine avoiding bars, concerts, and even the grocery store because a stranger might look "pale." This is the reality of emetophobia—a debilitating fear of vomiting that often hides in the shadows of more common diagnoses like anxiety or eating disorders. In this episode, we peel back the layers of this misunderstood condition with ADAA member expert Ken Goodman, LCSW, and emetophobia sufferer Lorraine Leal. Ken breaks down why emetophobia is far more than a gross-out reaction; it is a complex anxiety disorder that forces sufferers to construct elaborate safety behaviors just to survive the day. Lorraine shares her raw, personal journey of living with a fear so intense she would rather die than vomit. She details the isolation of being labeled a bad friend for avoiding germ-filled social spaces and the crushing guilt of feeling like a burden on her family. Listener Takeaways Understanding that for many, the fear of others getting sick is just as paralyzing Learn how safety behaviors can actually fuel the phobia instead of preventing the danger Recognize why emetophobia is frequently mistaken for other disorders Learn what type of therapist to seek out to treat this unique disorder Tune in to dive into the overlap between emetophobia and OCD, the safety behaviors that keep sufferers trapped, and a surprising look at why treatment doesn't actually involve being forced to vomit. This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). "Some people would rather die than vomit, and that is something that most onlookers don't see." ~Lorraine Leal, Emetophobia Survivor Our guest, Lorraine Leal, is 42 and a lifelong emetophobia sufferer. Lorraine is from Long Island where she enjoys performing in local musical theater productions, nail art, and reading. Our guest, Ken Goodman, LCSW, specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders and OCD.  He is on the board of directors for the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and is Founding Director of QuietMindSolutions.com. He has authored and produced several self-help courses and books including “The Anxiety Solution Series,” a 12-hour audio course, “Break Free from Anxiety,” a coloring self-help book, and “The Health Anxiety Handbook.” He also wrote the top selling book on emetophobia, “The Emetophobia Manual,” and produced a pre-recorded emetophobia course. He lectures at universities and organizations across the country. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from UCLA and operates his online private practice in Los Angeles. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

Learn how nurturing yourself not only protects your well-being but also empowers you to care more effectively for your loved one. “If you can do no good, at least do no harm. A lot of the, the things that families don't understand and caregivers is that they're actually doing things that not only they know it doesn't work okay. When they're doing these things, these naggings and lectures and all that, they know it's not working. But what they may not appreciate is it's actually making things worse over time.” ~C.

After two decades of flat demand, US electricity demand is experiencing rapid growth. Demand is expected to increase 25% by 2030 and 78% by 2050, pushing up electricity prices as suppliers scramble to fund and construct massive amounts of new infrastructure. Average residential bills increased by nearly 30% from 2021 to 2025 and are expected to continue going up, adding to the inflation concerns of consumers. At the same time, public officials are issuing increasingly urgent warnings about growing risks to the reliability of the U.S. electric power system. Our nation’s technological progress, prosperity, and well-being depend on ever-expanding supplies of reliable and affordable electric power to meet rapidly growing demand from proliferating data centers and the expansion of other power-hungry enterprises. The causes that have inflated the price of electricity and threatened the reliability of electric service must be identified correctly and dealt with effectively. How have certain policy developments, including the deregulation movement, the expansion of federal regulation, and the push for decarbonization, affected the price of electricity and the reliability of electric service?
