The racial equity protests around the country sparked by the death of George Floyd have shed new light on longstanding issues of race and inequality in the United States. In Milwaukee, the protests have once again highlighted the impact of the segregationist practices that were once common in the area and that have contributed to socioeconomic inequality for people of color in the region, especially for the Black population. On this edition of UWM Today, we are joined by David Pate – associate professor and chair of UWM’s Department of Social Work in the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. Pate is an expert on how Black men are affected by the social welfare system and the challenges they face in trying to attain economic security.

People over the age of 60 are some of the most at risk for COVID-19. Health experts are advising seniors to be extra careful about exposing themselves to infection by taking steps to social distance and even isolate themselves from people who are carriers of the disease. But the very measures meant to keep people from getting infected may be causing other health issues, like loneliness. On this edition of UWM Today, we look at how best to balance the desire to stay safe with the need to connect to the people around us. Colleen Galambos is our guest. She is a professor of social work and serves as the Helen Bader Endowed Chair in Applied Gerontology in UWM’s Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. Galambos is a member of a committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that is investigating the link between social isolation and loneliness.

The American Psychological Association defines trauma as an emotional response to a terrible event like a natural disaster, an accident or a rape. But trauma can have many “flavors,” according to Joshua Mersky, Ph.D. He’s a professor of social work in the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare at UWM. He says, "Typically speaking, we’re talking about profound adversities that have long lasting consequences." Rates of adversity are measured by the Adverse Childhood Experiences that respondents report. Those are experiences before the age of 18, such as witnessing or being a victim of violence or abuse, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Earlier this year, WUWM reached out to our listeners to find out what questions they have about trauma and its impact on Milwaukee. One of our Beats Me question askers wanted to know: How prevalent is generational trauma in Milwaukee? What resources are available to help break the cycle? Mersky says there’s no precise definition

As we age we all hope for a retirement with good health and security. But studies show that one in 10 Americans over the age of 65 experience neglect, exploitation or elder abuse — a startling statistic that should concern everyone. On this edition of UWM Today, we talk to an expert on aging who’s researching ways to help older Americans lead a safer and healthier life. Colleen Galambos is a professor of social work at UWM’s Helen Bader School of Social Welfare. Recently, she was appointed to a committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that is examining loneliness and social isolation in older adults.

Part 1: Ecologist Evon Hekkala travels to Madagascar to help protect a village from a man-eating croc. Part 2: Criminologist Stan Stojkovic receives a letter from an incarcerated man who killed two people when he was a teenager. Evon Hekkala was born just outside of Fossil, Oregon, population 200. How she ended up living and working in NYC and traveling around the globe studying wildlife is all a bit of a big crazy fluke, set in motion by a mixture of really good, bad parenting and the naive ability to never see her own boundaries. Now she spends her time teaching and researching at Fordham University and the American Museum of Natural History where she and her students explore a century of change in the wild world of animals. Stan Stojkovic, PhD is Dean and Professor of Criminal Justice in the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). He has been a faculty member within the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare for the past 33 years. He received his Ph.D. in social science (with cognate specializations in criminal justice and criminology, public administration, and philosophy) from Michigan State University in 1984. Stan Stojkovic's story was produced as part of a partnership with Springer Storytellers. Find out more at www.beforetheabstract.com/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
