Singer, songwriter, actress, and producer Rita Wilson joins Sing For Science to discuss her song “Sound of a Woman” alongside NYU performance studies scholar and psychoanalyst Ann Pellegrini. Together they explore what it means to “find one's voice” later in life, how gender is performed and culturally shaped, and the tension between identity as something deeply felt yet socially constructed. Drawing from Rita's reflections on feeling “muted” by propriety and expectation, the conversation moves through topics including femininity, performance, language, vulnerability, self-expression, and what it means to be heard — including a discussion of what Ann calls the “Carole King paradox:" the idea that something can feel profoundly natural while also being shaped by culture, performance, and expectation.

Sie gehört zu den grossen Vergessenen des 20. Jahrhunderts: die französische Philosophin, Sozialaktivistin und Mystikerin Simone Weil. Eine einzigartige Denkerin, die im Sinne einer bedingungslosen Menschlichkeit mit ihrer Kritik auch vor eigenen Reihen nicht Halt machte. Der französische Philosoph Albert Camus nannte sie den einzigen grossen Geist unserer Zeit – trotzdem blieb Simone Weil vom Philosophie-Kanon weitgehend unbeachtet. Vielleicht, weil sie eine Frau war. Vielleicht, weil sie schon mit 34 Jahren starb. Vielleicht aber auch, weil sie partout in keine Schublade passen wollte. 1909 in Paris in eine jüdisch-intellektuelle Familie geboren, wählte Simone Weil freiwillig ein Leben in Armut. Als überzeugte Linke engagierte sie sich vehement für die Arbeiterklasse, kritisierte jedoch gleichzeitig die Ideen von Marx und schon früh den stalinistischen Sozialismus. Sie war eine scharfsinnige Philosophin und hatte gleichzeitig einen zutiefst christlich-spirituellen Blick auf die Welt. Ihre Analysen über den Totalitarismus der 1930er Jahre, aber auch ihr radikaler Einsatz für Gerechtigkeit haben heute eine neue Dringlichkeit. Der Schweizer Künstler Thomas Hirschhorn etwa widmet Simone Weil in Genf aktuell einen ganzen Pavillon – eine «soziale Skulptur» – die ihren Geist über zwei Monate lang wieder aufleben lässt. Welche Kraft steckt bei Simone Weil in der Verbindung von Philosophie und Spiritualität? Und inwiefern kann ihr ethischer Kompass heute Orientierung für eine gerechtere Welt bieten? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht diese «Perspektiven»-Sendung nach. In der Sendung kommen zu Wort: · Wolfram Eilenberger, Philosoph und Autor des Buches «Feuer der Freiheit» (Klett-Cotta 2022), in dem es u.a. um Simone Weils Biografie und Philosophie geht · Mae Bengert, Professorin an der HU Berlin für Literatur, Religion und Genderstudies und Mitglied des Simone-Weil-Denkkollektivs · Thomas Hirschhorn, Künstler Autor: Igor Basic

She is the author of Faux Feminism: Why We Fall for White Feminism and How We Can Stop. In this episode, we focus on Faux Feminism. We discuss what feminism is, if it makes sense to talk about “waves” of feminism, and the idea of white feminism. We go through myths regarding feminism, including the Freedom Myth, the Individualism Myth, the Culture Myth, the Restriction Myth, and the Judgment Myth. We talk about the idea of “girlbosses”, and capitalism and neoliberal feminism. We discuss intersectional feminism, and whether tradition is the enemy of feminism.

In March, viral depositions of a couple of 20-something white twinks named Justin Fox and Nathan Cavanaugh (referred to on social media as "DOGE bros") made explicit how careless and nihilistic the federal government was in cutting humanities funding last year, as part of Elon Musk's short-lived Department of Government Efficiency.

Am 12. April entscheidet Ungarn über eine neue Regierung. Vielleicht kommt nach 16 Jahren Fidesz Péter Magyar mit seiner Partei Tisza an die Macht? Die Politologin Eszter Kováts analysiert den Wahlkampf. Ein Podcast von Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Insgesamt 16 Jahre ist Victor Orbán mit seiner Partei Fidesz in Ungarn an den Hebeln der Macht. Mit einer Zweidrittelmehrheit im Parlament konnte er das Land nach seinen Vorstellungen umgestalten. Alle wichtigen politischen Institutionen sind mit Leuten aus seiner Partei besetzt, die Medien in staatlicher Hand.Victor Orbán selbst hat den Begriff einer illiberalen Demokratie geprägt, eine an Mehrheit ausgerichtetes Programm, das er nun verteidigen muss. Sein Herausforderer heißt Péter Magyar. Er kommt aus der Fidesz-Partei und tritt nun als Frontmann der Partei Tisza gegen den Langzeit-Premier Ungarns an. Die aus Ungarn stammende Politologin Eszter Kováts verfolgt den Wahlkampf in Ungarn mit angespannter Aufmerksamkeit. Im Podcast charakterisiert sie die Kontrahenten, analysiert die zentralen politischen Themen in Ungarn und lotet aus, was nach dem 12. April alles passieren könnte. Orbán punktet seit Jahren mit dem Slogan „No war, no gender, no migration“, hat die wichtigen Institution im Land mit den eigenen Leuten besetzt und ist nun selbst die Elite, gegen die er vormals kampagnisiert hat. Diese Karte kann nun Péter Magyar ziehen.Tisza liegt in den Umfragen voran, unklar hingegen ist, wie hoch sein Sieg ausfallen wird. Doch genau davon hängt ab, welche Kompromisse er wird schließen müssen. Und: Die Tisza-Partei selbst ist eine Bewegung und muss sich personell erst einmal formieren, um ihre Versprechen einhalten zu können.  Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Eszter Kováts ist Politologin und forscht derzeit als Post-Doc-Assistentin im Forschungsbereich Politik und Geschlecht am Institut für Politikwissenschaften an der Universität Wien. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Politische Theorie, Gender-Studies und gesellschaftlicher Pluralismus. Kováts Werdegang: Sie hat Germanistik, Romanistik und Soziologie studiert und von 2009 bis 2019 das Genderprogramm der Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Budapest betreut. 2020 war sie mit einem Forschungsstipendium in Berlin und promovierte 2022 zu „Feindbild, Hegemonie und Reflexion – Bedeutung und Funktion des Gender-Begriffs in der Politik des Orbán-Regimes und der deutschen radikalen Rechten“. Seit September 2024 ist sie als Marie Skodłowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow tätig und forscht zu „Social Justice or cancel culture“. Sie pendelt zwischen Budapest und Wien.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus. Sie finden uns auch auf Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn und X (Twitter).

Today I am excited and honored to be talking with Dr. Shamell Bell and Sherena Razek, two activist scholars who join us to talk about their work on the Coalition for Action in Higher Education, which will be convening it Third Annual National Day of Action (insert link) on April 17th.  We talk about  the unique and central position CAHE occupies on the activist landscape.  The Coalition brings together labor, anti-fascist and anti-racist activists, and those working for Palestinian freedom.   CAHE energizes the educational sphere by refusing to shy away from taking radical positions, by embracing boundary-crossing and close affiliations with diverse communities, by defending the most vulnerable, and insisting on free education in every sense of the word. CAHE aims to both hold university administrators and trustees accountable, but also to recognize and grow our own strength with imagination, creativity, and mutual care.Dr. Shamell Bell is a global movement artist, scholar, and visionary cultural strategist whose work lives at the intersection of radical imagination, embodied activism, and unconditional love. She earned her Ph.D. in Culture and Performance from UCLA and recently completed a teaching appointment in Theater, Dance & Media at Harvard University.  As an interdisciplinary scholar and documentary filmmaker, Dr. Bell explores the power of embodiment, collective freedom dreaming, and multimedia storytelling to disrupt oppressive systems and ignite transformation. Her social impact work in the entertainment industry includes collaborations with artists such as Common, Dominique Fishback, Lalah Hathaway, and Esperanza Spalding. She also served as Supervising Producer on the Emmy-nominated series Lessons in Chemistry. Dr. Bell is co-social impact director—alongside Ms. Gwen Carr, mother of Eric Garner—for Ritual of Breath is the Rite to Resist, a performance project responding to state-sanctioned violence. She organizes for economic justice with the Debt Collective as its Visionary Escalator, advocating for student debt abolition and debt-free college for all. She also serves on the steering committee for the Coalition for Action in Higher Education and co-chairs their Antifascism caucus.Sherena Razek is a diasporic Palestinian feminist educator, scholar, activist, and labor organizer. Currently, she is a President's and Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Gender Studies at the University of California Los Angeles. She holds a PhD from the Department of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University where she was the President of the Graduate Labor Organization and co-founder of the Palestine Solidarity Caucus. Her research focuses on Palestinian visual culture, anti-imperialist struggle, and decolonial feminist ecologies.

In this episode of Peace Matters, we take a closer look at Hungary's upcoming parliamentary elections and what they could mean for the country and Europe. After 16 years in power, Viktor Orbán faces a serious challenge from former ally Péter Magyar. But is the challenge that serious after all? We explore the possible election outcomes, the dominance of the right in Hungarian politics, and the weakness of the left. The episode also examines Fidesz's family and gender policies and how they shape voter behavior, particularly among women. Finally, we discuss why this election is so consequential for Europe as Hungary heads to the polls.Guest:Andrea Pető is a Professor at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University, Vienna, Austria, a Research Affiliate of the CEU Democracy Institute, Budapest, and a Doctor of Science at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Recent publications include The Women of the Arrow Cross Party: Invisible Hungarian Perpetrators in the Second World War, Palgrave, Macmillan, 2020, and Forgotten Massacre: Budapest 1944, DeGruyter, 2021.The highly contested category of gender is always central to her work as a researcher and teacher, as well as to her engagement as a feminist public intellectual. Accompanied by:Marylia Hushcha, Researcher and Project Manager at the IIP.The episode was recorded on 23 March 2026.

670. Sophie White joins us to discuss her book, Voices of the Enslaved: Love, Labor, and Longing in French Louisiana. Sophie also has a companion website, "Voices of the Enslaved: A Digital Humanities Approach to Encountering the Archive." This website is well worth your time. It has an article on the earliest reference to voudou, for example, with primary documents and detailed analysis. In Voices of the Enslaved: Love, Labor, and Longing in French Louisiana, Sophie White uncovers a rare and startling "soundscape" of the 18th century. While most history books treat enslaved people as silent statistics, White mines the meticulously recorded trial records of the Louisiana Superior Council to find something revolutionary: the direct testimony of over 150 men and women. From the defiant words of Marguerite in a New Orleans courtroom to the intimate "maroon" love story of Kenet and Jean-Baptiste, these are not just legal responses — they are "accidental" autobiographies. Through White's lyrical analysis, we move beyond the violence of the plantation and into the interior lives of those who refused to be erased, revealing a world of sophisticated material culture, complex kinship, and an unyielding insistence on their own humanity. Sophie White is a Professor of American Studies at the University of Notre Dame, where she holds concurrent appointments in History, Africana Studies, and Gender Studies. A native of Mauritius, her unique perspective on French colonial legacies and "othering" has made her a premier historian of the Atlantic World. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

Studies of forms of media have focused on either political or cultural histories of media. Political histories study media growth and literacy, and the emergence of liberal democratic institutions in Western and postcolonial societies. Cultural histories study the multiple origins of media technologies, seek lost or marginalised cultural objects, and examine how artefacts are connected to earlier modes of production and consumption. What is lost in both is the idea that media and technologies have an independent existence, with their own lives, histories, and afterlives. Inhabiting Technologies/Modernities: Media and Cultural Practices in South Asia (Orient BlackSwan, 2025) fills this gap, showing how media and technologies create the human condition even as they are created by it. The authors highlight this through everyday artefacts like the book, newspaper, radio, photograph, film, television and activism on digital media. P. Thirumal is Professor of Communication Studies at the Department of Communication, University of Hyderabad, Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad. Carmel Christy K.

By bringing together academics and journalists that utilise gender and media studies, as well as history and international relations, this interdisciplinary panel will speak to the relationship between the family and nation-building, the role of media and advertising in representing the mother figure, and through real life stories explore how people in the Middle East and the diaspora have redefined what family looks like. Meet our speakers Dr Polly Withers is a feminist cultural studies researcher, currently leading the Leverhulme Early Career Project ‘Neoliberal Visions: Gendering Consumer Advertising and its Resistances in the Levant', which considers how commercial advertising mediates shifts in gender and sexuality in post-Oslo Palestine and current-day Jordan. Prior to this, Polly's work focused on the gender and sexuality politics of 'alternative' music and subcultural participation in contemporary Palestine and its diaspora. Her work has appeared in Feminist Media Studies, the British Journal of Middle East Studies, and related gender and cultural studies outlets. She is currently working on a single-author monograph based on her Leverhulme research. Dr Andrew Delatolla is Associate Professor in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Leeds. His research interests centre on the intersections of race and sexuality in relation to statehood and state formation. He has recently concluded a funded project examining the politics of LGBTIQ+ rights in the Spanish overseas territories of Ceuta and Melilla and is currently part of an AHRC-DFG funded project examining transformations in gender and sexual governance in post-Soviet Muslim majority republics. His recent publications include a co-authored chapter, with Karim Chedid, in the anthology This Queer Arab Family edited by Elias Jahshan and a co-authored article with Hossein Cheaito in the European Journal of Politics and Gender on LGBTIQ+ activism in Lebanon. Elias Jahshan (he/him) is a Lebanese-Palestinian journalist and writer, and the editor of groundbreaking anthologies THIS ARAB IS QUEER (2022) and THIS QUEER ARAB FAMILY (2025), both published by Saqi Books.

Why is it that the anti-trans movement is so ferociously set on upending the livelihood of people who are simply trying to live their lives? As it turns out, it's because it's part of a larger playbook to dismantle civil rights as we know them. Paisley Currah is a Professor of Political Science and Women's and Gender Studies at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center, the author of Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity, and the writer of an essential new essay in the New York Review Books titled The Anti-Trans Playbook. Today Paisley joins Adam to discuss how we must approach the ongoing attacks on trans rights in America. --SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

This episode of Horror Joy turns to academic horror through Mariama Diallo's 2022 film Master, set at the fictional elite Ancaster University. Our discussion treats the film's central claim that what haunts is not the past but the present and future: racism, microaggressions, elitism, and the suffocating atmosphere of tradition. We welcome returning guest T (S. Trimble Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto) and first-time guest Joe Vallese (NYU faculty fellow, expository writing), editor of It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror.The conversation then unpacks Master's slow-burn dread: Gail Bishop (Regina Hall), the newly appointed first Black master; Jasmine, a first-year Black student; and Liv, a professor up for tenure, all navigating both explicit racism and subtler academic violence. We discuss the Scarlet Letter as a canonical text used to police interpretation and power in the classroom, including Jasmine's failing grade and the gaslighting embedded in academic evaluation.

This episode features a conversation with the founding members of the Feminist Critical Hindu Studies Collective, also known as the Auntylectuals. We began with each of them reflecting on their pathway into Hindu Studies and how the questions of caste and gender shaped their approaches to this field. We then discussed their motivations for starting the collective and what interventions they hoped to make through it. This took us deeper into some thorny topics: caste as a form of embodied knowledge that is often accompanied by the denial of its continued social power; the politics of Hinduism in North America where Hindus are both predominantly upper caste and a racial minority; the relationship between Hinduism and Hindutva, or Hindu nationalism; the traffic in language and tactics between Hindutva and Zionism; and the efforts to push back against the movement to make caste a protected category in U.S. anti-discrimination law.

Sapphic Adolescent Girls in Irish Young Adult Fiction: Queering Girlhood (Routledge, 2025) is the first sustained critical analysis of the representation of sapphic adolescent protagonists in contemporary Irish Young Adult (YA) literature. Ten YA novels published between 2017 and 2023 by both well-established and emerging Irish female authors are examined, analysing sapphic characters to demonstrate how Irish YA literature can transform and re-imagine sapphic literary representations. This book offers a critical evaluation of how lesbianism and bisexuality have been introduced into Irish YA literature, while also addressing the significance of racism, religion, violence against women and girls, friendships, and parental abandonment in shaping queer identities. This study is ideal for postgraduates and academics in the fields of Irish Studies, Cultural Studies, Gender Studies, and Queer Studies, as well as students interested in YA literature, comparative literature, and contemporary literature.

In her book Japan Reborn: Race and Eugenics from Empire to Cold War (Columbia UP, 2025), historian Kristin Roebuck grapples with the question: Why did Japan embrace “mixed blood” as an authoritarian empire yet turn to xenophobic racial nationalism as a Cold War democracy? Through in-depth and rigorous historical archival research, Roebuck traces the fraught history of sex, reproduction, race and empire building in Japan from the 1930s to 1950s. Through her scholarship, she crucially demonstrates how discourses on sex, mixed-race children, and adoption revolved around control of women and their bodies to strengthen nationalism and imperialism. This monograph is an important read for listeners who are interested in the topics of race, gender and empire and scholars in Asian Studies, History, and Gender Studies.

In her book Japan Reborn: Race and Eugenics from Empire to Cold War (Columbia UP, 2025), historian Kristin Roebuck grapples with the question: Why did Japan embrace “mixed blood” as an authoritarian empire yet turn to xenophobic racial nationalism as a Cold War democracy? Through in-depth and rigorous historical archival research, Roebuck traces the fraught history of sex, reproduction, race and empire building in Japan from the 1930s to 1950s. Through her scholarship, she crucially demonstrates how discourses on sex, mixed-race children, and adoption revolved around control of women and their bodies to strengthen nationalism and imperialism.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with Myssana Morany, a lawyer and coordinator of the Land and Planning Rights Unit of Adalah, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel, and Sarit Michaeli, the International Advocacy Director at the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem. They discuss forcible transfer and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and the Naqab/Negev, looking at shared patterns of policy and action that supports Jewish control over land, enacting and entrenching the regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea. They look at specific mechanisms of displacement and dispossession of Palestinian communities, particularly rural herding and farming communities, and the dozens of communities - including tens of thousands of Palestinians - made homeless or vulnerable by this regime. Patterns include: increased home demolitions, segregationist urban planning processes, the refusal of the Supreme Court to protect or defend Palestinian land rights, and the increase in political support for crowding Palestinians into urban areas or removing them from their land altogether. Additionally, the last two-plus years has seen a massive acceleration of settler violence and terror against Palestinian communities in the West Bank, which is backed by every arm of the Israeli state. Speakers:  Myssana Morany joined Adalah as a lawyer in 2014. In 2019, she was appointed coordinator of the Land and Planning Rights Unit. Myssana's work in the Naqab includes representing several Bedouin communities facing displacement and challenging state intiatives and master plans that induce displacement. Sarit Michaeli is International Advocacy Director at B'Tselem. She joined B'Tselem in 2004 as its media spokesperson and director of public outreach. Sarit has an MA (Distinction) in Gender Studies from Birkbeck College, University of London, and a BA in graphic design from Camberwell College of Art, the London Institute. Peter Beinart is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace. He is also a Professor of Journalism and Political Science at the City University of New York, a Contributing opinion writer at the New York Times, an Editor-at-Large at Jewish Currents, and an MSNBC Political Commentator. His newest book (published 2025) is Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning. Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

This week Bryan has an interesting experience getting a haircut from the same man who originated "The Bryan" during his childhood, and Erin picks up a part time gig at her friend's salon. Bryan discusses the rise in popularity of queer literature, and how demand for titles like Heated Rivalry and Box Hill are leading to increased access and readership at public libraries. Erin tells us how Texas A&M is back in the news this week for dismantling its entire Women's and Gender Studies program after its board changed the syllabus for hundreds of classes and how they're trying to justify their censorship.

College Native American Studies courses are engines for Native-led research in addition to serving as a welcoming academic home for Native students. As it is, Native students are already the most under-represented group on college campuses. Their numbers declined in the decade before the Covid pandemic. There are indications that the 2023 Supreme Court decision upending Affirmative Action and the Trump administration's focus on unraveling Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are doing further damage to all minority enrollment. As the American Indian Studies Association convention gets underway, we'll assess the power and challenges of college programs focusing specifically on Native issues.

Why have "Risky Conversations"? Because everything worthwhile is on the other side of one. In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Cristina Alcalde, professor at Miami University in Ohio, gender and women's studies scholar, anthropologist, and leadership coach, to pull back the curtain on institutionalized bias. Recorded in December 2025—just before the devastating events of Operation Metro Surge in Minnesota—this conversation provides a hauntingly timely framework for understanding the transition from systemic exclusion to institutional violence. In this episode, we explored: Beyond "Us vs. Them": Why addressing institutional whiteness isn't about attacking people, but about fixing the hidden systems that block everyone from equity.The "Illusion Bubble": Why the status quo feels so "natural" to some, while creating moving goalposts for high-achieving women of color.Feminist Curiosity: How to stop being "complicit" and start asking the risky question: "Who actually benefits from the status quo?" Agency in the Heavy Moments: Navigating institutional hate while holding onto our internal authority and resistance.Connecting the Dots: How historical exclusions—like redlining—continue to build the workplace barriers we see today.Mentioned in this episode: Connect with Dr. Cristina Alcalde on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/m-cristina-alcalde-ph-d-24b71b8b/Dr. Cristina Alcalde's Faculty Webpage: https://miamioh.edu/profiles/cas/m-cristina-alcalde.htmlDr. Cristina Alcalde's Website: https://www.crisalcalde.com/Donate to Support our St. Paul Public Schools Community Fund https://my.cheddarup.com/c/support-our-st-paul-public-schools-community/itemsLearn more about Jamie's Executive Coaching Services: https://www.jamieleecoach.com/applyText me your thoughts on this episode!Enjoy the show?

In today's episode, guest host Nermin Allam, director of Women's and Gender Studies and associate professor of political science at Rutgers University – Newark, speaks with Rusha Latif, author of Tahrir's Youth: Leaders of a Leaderless Revolution, to reflect on remembering and commemorating the January 25th uprising.The January 25th uprising, which led to the ousting of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, remains one of the most consequential moments in Egypt's modern political history. The uprising restructured political imagination, reordered lives, and briefly redefined what felt possible.Every year, January 25th asks something of us. It asks us to remember. It asks us to reckon. And it asks us to return carefully and critically to a moment that continues to unsettle our present. This episode is part of that reckoning. As we mark the anniversary of the uprising, we are joined by Rusha Latif to revisit the experiences of the young people who animated that moment and who carried its weight forward long after the chants faded and the public space closed.The conversation invites us to resist simplification and to honor the complexity of a revolutionary moment whose political afterlives still shape how we understand protest, possibility, and loss. It invites listeners to consider what it means to commemorate a revolution in a time when its promises remain unfinished.BiographyRusha Latif is an Egyptian-American researcher and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work focuses on social movements and revolutions in the Middle East, with an emphasis on leadership, organization, and collective action across lines of class, gender, religion, and ideology.

A lot has changed very quickly lately, and nowhere is this more evident than in LGBTQ+ health. In just a short period of time, we've seen shifts in research funding, data collection, public health infrastructure, and the broader social climate, all of which have real, measurable consequences for people's mental, physical, and sexual well-being. In today's episode, I'm joined by two experts who study how stress, stigma, and uncertainty affect LGBTQ+ people, and what these rapid changes mean for health and resilience right now. I am joined today by Dr. Lisa Diamond and Dr. Scout. Dr. Diamond is Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Gender Studies at the University of Utah who is well-known for her pioneering research on sexual fluidity. Dr. Scout is the Executive Director of the National LGBTQI+ Cancer Network and a sought after advisor on LGBTQ+ health issues. Some of the specific topics we discuss include: What are the key changes that have happened around LGBTQ+ health and research? What do these changes mean for the broader community? How does social connection help buffer against stress? How can LGBTQ+ people, their families, and the professionals who work with them support each other right now?
