Amy Baik Lee writes essays and short memoirs for The Cultivating Project and on her own blog, A Homeward Life. She is also the co-director of the Arts Guild of The Anselm Society. In this episode, Amy and Jonathan Rogers talk about the discipline of noticing small splendors, the ways that art reminds recipients that they mean something to someone, and the ways that time and distance unpack our memories to show us meaning that was there all along.

Sociology professor Bruce Western, co-director of the Justice Lab at Columbia University and author of "Homeward: Life in the Year after Prison" discusses the importance of social integration to criminal justice - bringing people back into the community.

In our first episode with host and new BCTR Director Chris Wildeman, we hear from Bruce Western, who studies incarceration and reentry into society. They discuss incarceration's effect on social and economic inequality; Dr Western's feeling that big datasets weren't telling the whole story about incarceration and reentry - and how his research took a different approach; and how understanding and expanding the idea of justice in the lives of disadvantaged people can improve social problems. Bruce Western is professor of sociology, Columbia University; co-director, Columbia Justice Lab; and distinguished visiting research professor, University of Queensland, Australia. Western's research examines trends in American economic inequality and the growth of the US penal population. These topics are joined by an interest in the shifting landscape of American poverty over the last 40 years. He is the author of "Punishment and Inequality in America" (2007) and "Homeward: Life in the Year After Prison" (2018). Western is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Radcliffe Fellow and an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Science and the National Academies of Science.

Josh interviews Bruce Western about his book Homeward: Life in the year After Prison. Bruce Western is a professor of Sociology at Harvard, Visiting Professor at Columbia, and Distinguished Visiting Research Professor at the University of Queensland in Australia.

Mr. Stevenson is the creator of the Equal Justice Initiative, the force of nature behind the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and the author of the book Just Mercy (Bryan is also one of the best public speakers I have ever seen). I make reference to the book Remnants of Auschwitz: The Witness and the Archive, but I would also highly recommend his book Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life.
