Episode Summary: In this episode of the #SiblingsToo Podcast, host Nancy Morris talks with Dr. Peter Yates and Amy Adams about their scoping review on sibling sexual abuse (SSA), a critical step in consolidating fragmented research on this under-explored issue. By mapping the current knowledge base, their work identifies gaps in research, clarifies definitions, and lays the groundwork for improved understanding and future studies, making it an invaluable resource for addressing SSA more effectively.   Dr. Yates and Amy Adams discuss the complexities of defining SSA, revealing 27 different definitions in the literature and stressing the importance of clear, consistent language to avoid stigma and misinterpretation. They also examine prevalence rates, with adult disclosures ranging from 1.6% to 7%, highlighting the urgent need for increased societal awareness and targeted research. The conversation underscores the limitations of existing studies and calls for more rigorous approaches to fully understand SSA's onset, patterns, and long-term impacts.   About the Guest(s): Dr. Peter Yates: Dr. Peter Yates is a lecturer in social work at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. With a background in working in a specialist service assisting children and young people exhibiting harmful sexual behavior, Dr. Yates has dedicated his research to studying sibling sexual abuse, primarily focusing on cases involving boys abusing their siblings. Amy Adams: Amy Adams is a doctoral researcher at the University of Birmingham, centered on family and sibling dynamics. Her current research delves into the relationships between siblings where one child has caused harm and another has been harmed, providing insight into the complex dynamics within such families.   Key Takeaways: Definition Complexity: The myriad definitions of sibling sexual abuse contribute to challenges in research and interventions, highlighting the need for a universal understanding to improve clarity and response. Prevalence Insights: Existing research reveals significant rates of SSA disclosure in adulthood, underscoring the need for societal acknowledgment and systemic approaches to dealing with such cases. Family Dynamics: The conversation delves into the factors correlating with SSA, emphasizing that it transcends socio-economic boundaries and often correlates with wider family disruptions. Need for Comprehensive Research: The episode stresses the importance of conducting more in-depth studies, including longitudinal research to establish causal pathways and effective interventions. Education and Intervention: Dr. Yates and Adams advocate for educational efforts starting early in childhood to prevent SSA, aiming for holistic family interventions tailored to support every family member affected by SSA.   Notable Quotes: "Because it's such a difficult concept to pin down… what we don't want to be doing is stigmatizing children and children's sexual behaviors unnecessarily." - Dr. Peter Yates "In terms of disclosure, most disclosures come in adulthood, not from children at the time of the incident." - Amy Adams "The idea that some people can touch children's bodies… can include and name specifically brothers and sisters." - Dr. Peter Yates "Sibling sexual abuse can take place in any families from across the socio-economic spectrum." - Dr. Peter Yates "We need more robust and stronger methodologies to make causal or pathway links." - Amy Adams   Resources:   Glasgow Caledonian University University of Birmingham SiblingsToo Podcast: Website AIM Project (Manchester)     Chapters:     0:00 Sibling Sexual Abuse: Understanding, Disclosure, and Stigma 2:55 Exploring Research Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Studies 9:24 Challenges in Defining Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Implications 18:00 Defining Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Research Implications 22:33 Reevaluating Sibling Sexual Abuse and Its Traumatic Impact 25:28 Challenges in Managing Sibling Relationships After Harm 27:30 Understanding Sibling Sexual Abuse and Societal Challenges 31:11 Prevalence and Research on Sibling Sexual Abuse 33:41 Understanding the Impact of Sibling Sexual Abuse 39:22 Understanding Sibling Sexual Abuse Across Diverse Family Dynamics 45:09 Addressing Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Research and Prevention 51:04 Challenges in Disclosing Sibling Sexual Abuse Within Families 56:39 Challenges of Disclosure in Adulthood for Childhood Trauma Survivors 58:52 Risks and Rewards of Sharing Personal Struggles 1:00:15 Understanding Non-Verbal Disclosures of Child Sexual Abuse 1:02:26 Early Education and Prevention of Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:05:45 The Challenge of Establishing Clear and Consistent Definitions 1:07:29 Defining and Understanding Sibling Sexual Behaviors and Abuses 1:11:27 Global Research Gaps in Sibling Sexual Abuse Studies 1:16:29 Exploring Whole Family Interventions for Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:21:28 Family Education as a Tool for Abuse Prevention 1:24:39 Addressing Sibling Sexual Abuse Through Broader Societal Responsibility 1:27:11 Increasing Research and Public Discourse on Sibling Sexual Abuse 1:34:57 Scoping Review on Sibling Sexual Abuse: Methodology and Future Directions 1:38:29 Sharing Open Access Research on the SiblingsToo Podcast

Dogstrustusa.org Saving Dogs and Fighting Rabies with Dogs Trust USA's Owen Sharp About the Guest(s): Owen Sharp is the Director and President of Dogs Trust USA, appointed in July 2019. With a rich history in leadership roles within the non-profit and healthcare sectors, Sharp previously served as the Global CEO and Executive Director of the Movember Foundation in Culver City, California, and has had an impactful tenure as the CEO of Prostate Cancer UK. A trained nurse from Glasgow, Scotland, Owen is also honored with a doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University. His passion for animal welfare, particularly dogs, is matched by his personal commitment to animal rescue and advocacy. Episode Summary: In this episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss engages with Owen Sharp, President of Dogs Trust USA, for an insightful discussion about the critical issues facing dog welfare today. Sharp, with his extensive background in leadership and dog welfare, sheds light on the staggering challenges animal shelters face, from overpopulation and economic pressures to the rising abandonment rates following the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation traverses the importance of education and responsible dog ownership as a means to alleviate these issues. Sharp discusses the ambitious goals set by Dogs Trust USA to tackle poorly managed dog populations, improve physical welfare, and address the deaths caused by rabies internationally. Emphasizing the necessity for affordable spay and neuter programs and veterinary care, he urges for a committed community effort to support shelters in the US. By understanding the intricacies of training and matching the right dog to the owner, as well as creating awareness around rabies prevention, these measures promise to enhance dog welfare significantly and save countless lives. Key Takeaways: Dogs Trust USA focuses on the crucial areas of population management, low-cost veterinary care, and rabies prevention to improve dog welfare globally. COVID-19 has significantly increased dog abandonment rates, as many people adopted pets during lockdowns without fully understanding the responsibilities, leading to crowded shelters. Achieving responsible pet ownership starts with selecting the right dog for one's lifestyle and ensuring proper training and socialization. Rabies is a major global health problem, with one person dying from it approximately every 8-9 minutes worldwide. Dogs Trust strives for the total elimination of canine-mediated rabies. Supporting local shelters can be done through donations, volunteering, and fostering dogs, contributing to sustainable solutions in the welfare community. Notable Quotes: "If you have the right knowledge, if you have the right skills, nearly all of those behavioral issues can be avoided." – Owen Sharp "Our ambition is to halve the number of human deaths from rabies in the next five years." – Owen Sharp "It's not just saying, 'I want a dog,' and I want that one that I've seen for whatever reason, be it fashion, or a TV show." – Owen Sharp "We need to educate people about the type of dog that they get." – Owen Sharp "Rabies is 100% preventable—there is a vaccine that exists that you can give to animals." – Owen Sharp

As the SNP annual conference looms large on the horizon an air of pessimism seems to be permeating even the most committed supporters of independence. Not about the movement but the performance of the Scottish government and the internal operations of the party.The latest Holyrood opinion polls still suggest that the SNP will be the largest party post 2026 but that Labour could be in the position of cobbling together a Unionist governmental coalition of some sort.Stephen Flynn has been talking about the essence of a team approach. Has the SNP been a team? Why have  innovative ideas from both withing and outwith the closed leadership ranks fallen on deaf ears?We explore what might lie behind this malaise and what can be done to combat it.Part of the fightback might be to focus on Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves austerity measures particularly the means testing of the winter fuel allowance and the 10% rise in consumer electricity and gas prices. Could "It's Scotland's Energy" be the new "It's Scotland's Oil" battle cry?The usual suspects have been making political hay over the scrapping of the rail fares peak reduction pilot scheme, the axing of Creative Scotland's open fund, and the shifting of local authority monies allocated for improving nature and improving biodiversity to pay for council employees' pay rises.What is the Scottish government not telling us about what seems to be a black economic cloud emanating from Westminster?Lesley focuses on what might be behind the "failure" of the rail fares pilot and asks why no progress has been made on regional integrated transport systems.There's a whole host of great events coming up.

‘Devolution looks very different now than it did in 1998.' Dr Andrew Tickell, Lecturer in Law at Glasgow Caledonian University, hosts this discussion with the Convener and Deputy Convener of the Parliament's Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee, Clare Adamson MSP and Donald Cameron MSP. On Monday, the Committee held a joint event with Strathclyde University Law School to discuss their report 'How is Devolution Changing Post-EU?' with leading academics and lawyers from across the UK. The Committee found that devolution has changed and now looks “very different” after the UK's departure from the EU, a key difference being how the regulatory environment within the UK is managed compared to how it was managed within the EU. Recommendations from the report include the establishment of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the UK and Devolved Governments and the development of supplementary agreements on both Common Frameworks and the use of delegated powers by UK Ministers in devolved areas.

Athletes often become acutely aware of ageing in ways that people who are not involved in sport do not. But how do athletes construct meaning in sport in later life and how do they maintain their bodily capital? Emmanuelle Tulle's fascinating research on Veteran/Masters runners helps us to answer these questions. We also discuss the gendered construction of running careers in later life and the problems associated with the increasingly medicalised understandings of physical activity and ageing. What are the alternative narratives that we can individually and collectively construct about ageing and PA/sports?  Emmanuelle Tulle is Professor of Sociology at Glasgow Caledonian University. Her scholarly work has focused on theorising how older people make sense of and manage the process of bodily ageing from a cultural perspective. You can find out more about her work here. 

This episode features an interview with Jamie Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer of Emburse. Emburse is the global leader in spend optimization, with expense, travel management, and payments solutions. Jamie believes that revenue operations have been around for a long time, but we haven't always called it “RevOps.” He describes how investing in your RevOps team will result in a great ROI, and how to focus on what really matters when building your bottom line.Guest Bio:As Chief Revenue Officer, Jamie is responsible for setting the strategy and executing on the revenue goals for Emburse. He has over 25 years of experience in the enterprise applications software industry serving in a variety of roles from product development, through marketing, to sales. Jamie has held key executive leadership roles at SAP, hybris, Marketo (Adobe), and most recently Xactly Corp, where he served as CRO. Jamie holds a BSc in Computer Information Systems from Glasgow Caledonian University.Guest Quote:“Revenue operations, I actually believe, have been around for a long time. We just haven't called it rev ops. Some places have just called it pipeline management, cadence. I often say incidentally that the measure of the health of a company is looking at the pipeline and measuring the unweighted four rolling quarter pipeline coverage, the current quarter plus one weighted pipeline coverage. It gives you a very, very strong indication of a company's health.” - Jamie AndersonTime Stamps:1:32 - How Jamie views RevOps13:22 - The importance of specialization15:23 - What makes a horrible client experience21:58 - Making leaders better25:47 - Why RevOps has a great ROI29:26 - The tool shed34:46 - Quick hitsSponsor:Rise of RevOps is brought to you by Qualified.

If it wasn't for safer injecting sites I wouldn't be alive today that's for sure because I wouldn't be able to stay alive long enough to hit bottom – to have a moment of clarity where I was able to say 'I don't want to do this any more'. "Trey Helton, manager of the Overdose Prevention Society in VancouverIn part two of The Ferret investigates…the health gap – a three-part special podcast from The Ferret media co-op and Greater Govanhill magazine – we look at drug deaths, one of the key factors driving Scottish health inequalities. In Scotland, men in the most deprived areas of Scotland have a life expectancy of almost 14 years less than those in the most affluent areas. And for women that gap is ten and a half years. A total of 1,051 people died of drug overdoses across Scotland in 2022 – that's almost three people a day. And you're 16 times as likely to die of a drug overdose if you live in a deprived community than if you live in a wealthy one. In this episode we visit Simon Community Scotland's We See You project and hear from coordinator Jim Thomson and participant Owen Docherty about the power of finding connection. We also visit Vancouver where Trey Helton tells us how the Overdose Prevention Society is saving lives, and we hear from indigenous women at the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre – a group disproportionately impacted by the opioid crisis there – about how reconnecting with their culture is helping them heal. In the studio we hear from Simon Community Scotland's Claire Longmuir and Professor Andrew McAuley from Glasgow Caledonian University about what's working in Scotland and what more we need to do. You can find all three episodes of The Ferret investigates...the health gap on The Ferret or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the world of design, you run the risk of losing focus on the end goal, creating great experiences for guests. Here to offer clarity is a development and planning specialist who excels at creating multi faceted luxury experiences. Projects that were completed under his vision include Faena Miami Beach, and Public NYC. Joining the show is Senior Vice President at Cumming Corporation, Nicky Unkles! Nicky shares his insights with Host Dan Ryan as they explore what it means to create luxury, and ultra luxury, experiences. Takeaways:  True hospitality is a friendly reception of your guests. It means being authentic and sincere in your treatment of guests, anticipating their needs, and offering all guests the same experience, regardless if they are a CEO or an intern. When it comes to balancing the needs of the stakeholders, and keeping your project on time, it starts with having a defined process. It's important to stick to the process, but when it's necessary to deviate, ensure all parties know the impact on the timeline.  One of the biggest challenges for new hospitality projects during the pandemic was supply shortages. As budgets, timelines, and vendors had been set months in advance, it required a collaboration with procurement agents to find new options. A typical project lives or dies within the first few days. When you first sit down with a client, your job is to help put their vision onto paper. Creating a layout and budget that reflect that vision, and your ability to sell it, will decide success for your project, When you start a project, it's crucial to see it to completion. While potentially grueling, you'll quickly discover areas of improvement for the next iteration. Additionally, seeing a project from vision to closeout is invaluable experience as a designer. Covid changed both the hospitality industry, and what guests want from their stays. Today's guests want more service, and better experiences, with consistency as the keystone that holds the experience together. The core of your design needs to revolve around the guest's experiences. Certain design elements may seem like important additions, but if they won't impact the guest experience, those additions are an unnecessary use of time, money, and effort.  Quote of the Show:“The world of hospitality is forever changed. People aren't going to accept substandard anymore.” - Nicky UnklesLinks: Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cumming_Group  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicky-unkles-9035b028/  Website: https://cumming-group.com/  Shout Outs: 12:48 - Aman Giri: https://www.aman.com/resorts/amangiri  12:51 - Canyon Equity: https://canyonequity.com/  16:22 - Faena Miami Beach: https://www.faena.com/miami-beach  16:24 - Public NYC: https://www.publichotels.com/  19:50 - Finlay Cumming 20:01 - Glasgow Caledonian University: https://www.gcu.ac.uk/  21:05 - Leher LLC 31:36 - Stan Bromley 37:08 - Zion National Park 41:10 - Six Senses: https://www.sixsenses.com/en  41:14 - Starwood Hotels 41:15 - 1Hotels: https://www.1hotels.com/  Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419 Transistor: https://www.defininghospitality.live/

Episode Summary It started with a Linkedin post.  When Michael J. O' Regan, a Lecturer of Tourism at Glasgow Caledonian University posted an academic article he wrote about why we should stop using the word “Overtourism” and the issues he sees with its usage since the time we at Skift coined the term in 2016 (the backstory on that here), it came across my feeds. And in a surprise twist, considering we were responsible for this term spreading, first across the travel industry and then as a widespread media term, I agreed with him.  Here's what I wrote: “This is a fascinating new academic paper arguing why the travel industry should stop using “overtourism” as a construct/phrase and as the person who coined that term in 2016 (he cites it in this paper), I agree with him!  “Surprise twist, I know, but not for the reasons he outlines (read the paper) but because I agree that now post-covid, with so many layers of complexity involved particularly as tourism intersects with climate change, it is reductive and doesn't bring out the nuanced solutions that are required.  “The reductiveness was necessary when we first coined it, alarmism and inducing fear wasn't a side effect, it was the intent, as I explained it here in detail two years after, and it was never meant as a phrase to demonize the travelers, as the paper says what happened after, but for destinations to wake up and take destination stewardship seriously.  “It did its job, now time to move on.” To discuss the paper, his reasonings and more, I invited him to The Skift Travel Podcast, and we had a fascinating discussion. Here's the summary of the discussion, the best way to get the full flavor of it is to listen to our podcast episode, below or in your fave podcast app. Michael discusses his research on the concept of overtourism, which he believes is outdated as term in the post-COVID era. O'Regan explains that the term has been successful in highlighting the challenges of managing tourism in destinations, but it also demonizes tourists, whereas the focus should be on sustainable tourism management. He also discusses his ongoing research on how newspapers cover the phrase and the metaphors they use to link overtourism. The interview also touches on the role of academia in engaging the public with research and ideas. There is an increasing number of professionals pointing out “overtourism” is not a useful analytical concept for measuring mismanagement and directing attention only towards tourists, rather than facilitators of tourism, such as policymakers and license providers. Destinations are trying to move beyond overtourism and look for other ways to talk about complex tourism issues beyond blaming tourists for all the ills. Post-Covid, the conversation is about recovery, and there is a need for a nuanced approach to tourism that considers the impact on climate change and how companies are responding by reducing their carbon footprint. O'Regan also questions the definition of quality tourists and its relevance in different destinations. He believes that backpackers are the quality tourists as they stay longer and use local services. The conversation also includes other phrases such as “regenerative tourism,” “sustainable tourism,” and “transformative travel,” and the need for managing tourism to reduce its unintended impacts on destinations. They discussed different tools that can be used to manage tourism, such as tourist taxes, regulating short-term rentals, and improving education on tourism and hospitality at the local level. Finally, they talked about Amsterdam's efforts to improve the quality of life of people living around the airport.

Andrea Catherwood is joined by Michael Blastland and Sir Andrew Dilnot, authors of a review commissioned by the BBC to investigate if its coverage on government spending was prone to bias. They discuss the results and we hear listeners' views. As the jazz programme disappears from BBC Radio Scotland and new programmes for classical and piping feature fewer live sessions, we hear what musicians and listeners have to say. Professor Simon McKerrell, head of Media and Music at Glasgow Caledonian University, tells Andrea about the impact on the wider music community. One thing that annoys Lord Blunkett is the sound quality or lack of it on BBC Radio News programmes. Radio 4 Controller Mohit Bakaya responds to his and listeners' concerns.

Academia and activism might seem like a natural pair. Both require grit, persistence and a passionate commitment to a cause. However doing social justice work is often at the sacrifice of other tasks that count towards career progression in higher education.    In this episode, three academic activists discuss the structures within higher education that make this work difficult, how they balance it with parenthood and other commitments, and they offer advice to anyone else hoping to use their research and teaching as a bridge between universities and the community.    Colette Cann is a professor and associate dean in the school of education at the University of San Francisco, and Eric DeMeulenaere is an associate professor of urban schooling in the department of education at Clark University. Their book The activist academic: engaged scholarship for resistance, hope and social change was published in 2020 by Myers Education Press.    John McKendrick is a professor in social justice at Glasgow Caledonian University and is working to eradicate poverty. 

In this episode, I chatted to the wonderful Abi Daré about her incredible novel, The Girl with the Louding Voice.

In this episode, Neil talks to food historian Lindsay Middleton about invalid cookery – an important part of cookery books of the 18th to early 20th centuries. Lindsay has produced an excellent online resource called Dishes for the Sick Room, and has trawled through the collection of cookery books at Glasgow Caledonia University that date from the 18th and 19th centuries. Cook books at this time didn't really contain medicines but general foods to give to the sick people at home under your care. The focus of Lindsay's Dishes for the Sick Room project, the books, and the cookery school were created by some really forward thinking women who were really at the forefront of the new science of dietetics, so we don't just talk about weird and wonderful foods, but also how these foods, the cookery books and the women writing and using them all fit into a wider historical context.We talked about what inspired Lindsay to produce this excellent online resource, the archived books at Glasgow Caledonian University, the women behind the first domestic cookery school in Scotland, why providing free cookery lessons isn't always a good idea, foods such as beef tea and toast water, the science behind the school's work, and the administration of predigested food for the ill – amongst other things.Find Lindsay on Twitter @lindsmiddletonFind Lindsay's Dishes for the Sick Room at: www.dishesforthesickroom.com Things mentioned in today's episode:Neil's blog post and recipe for Seftons: https://britishfoodhistory.com/2015/02/03/seftons/ Neil's blog post and recipe for Carrageen Pudding: https://britishfoodhistory.com/2022/06/21/forgotten-foods-9-carrageen-pudding/ Pre-order Neil's new book Before Mrs Beeton: Elizabeth Raffald, England's Most Influential Housekeeper at you favourite bookshop, or from the publisher Pen & Sword History: www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Before-Mrs-Beeton-Hardback/p/22437 Neil's book A Dark History of Sugar is available now from all bookshops as well as from the publisher Pen & Sword: https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/A-Dark-History-of-Sugar-Hardback/p/20481 If you want to buy a signed copy directly from Neil for £18 + postage (£2.85 if within the UK, the going rate if outside!).

For the first time since Scottish devolution nearly 25 years ago, Westminster has blocked a bill, which concerns transgender rights, from getting royal assent. Westminster is objecting to the Gender Recognition Reform Bill on the grounds that it would have a "significant impact" on GB-wide equalities. But Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says the veto is an attack on democracy. On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by political correspondent Joe Pike to unpack the unprecedented row. He's also joined by lecturer in law at Glasgow Caledonian University, Andrew Tickell, to discuss the legalities of a constitution in crisis. Producer: Emma Rae WoodhouseEditor: Philly Beaumont

The world's wealthier countries have in recent years faced challenges from right-wing populist parties and movements that may rejuvenate origins from relatively far in the past, such as in the case of Italy, or they may constitute new formations disturbingly reminiscent of earlier movements of their kinds. So, for example, the Alternative for Germany, in Germany. So where does populism go from here? This week on International Horizons, Umut Korkut from Glasgow Caledonian University discusses the goals and findings of the D.Rad De-Radicalization project in Europe and why and how people become radicalized from being alienated from the rest of society. Korkut also delves into other causes of radicalization, such as educational policies and political literacy gap and the manipulation by the elites. He goes on to discuss the nuances of populism in Europe and its variations in the imaginary of people. Finally, he argues that, because of trauma of recent events, voters are paralyzed and cannot see different political alternatives, which is applicable to the American, European, and Turkish cases.
