Todd James is our guest for this episode. He has been a sports missionary in Ireland for over 40 years. He is a Southern California native who coached and taught in that area for 10 years before leaving for the mission field. He and his wife Celesta have planted churches and helped to develop sports ministry as a tool for churches to do evangelism throughout the country. Discipleship and evangelism are the main emphases of their ministry. James is now retired but continues to impact others through teaching basketball skills at local schools and has authored materials like "Meet My Head Coach," which has been translated into many languages and used by organizations such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action. Celesta was the head of the Humanities Department of a local university.

In today's Lecture, Rev. Renaldo Mckenzie continues exploring currents that have shaped the position of the Caribbean today stemming from Colonization, but switch gears to Postcolonialism, and the lingering effects of Colonialism. The Lecture delves into the concept of postcolonialism and discusses how Caribbean people's disdain for African Traditions such as Obeah reflects the lingering effects of colonialism. The class spent several minutes debating whether #obeah is evil as many students challenged the professor's position on African traditions and the need to have open discussions without European ethnocentrism. The class was deeply intense and the students and Professor spoke passionate about current attitudes towards African Spirituality.This Lecture and the Lecture series is offered Jamaica Theological Seminary in the Humanities Department and the Lecture is delivered by Rev.

We need to ask ourselves some really tough questions about what our education systems are really doing to support young people to live in a climate changed world of at least 2 degrees of warming. What are the hands-on skills that they will need, but also how are we supporting them to regulate difficult emotions, and build community as we relocalise. This week, Ginie Servant-Miklos is returning to the podcast, this time with her colleague Rutger Engels, to talk about what they are learning through their work implementing critically important ideas in their Bildung Climate School pilots with young people across Rotterdam.

A conversation with Warren Commission Assistant Counsel Burt W. Griffin, Case Closed author and Lee Harvey Oswald scholar Gerald Posner, and JFK conspiracy theory debunker Michel Gagné. Shermer, Griffin, Posner, and Gagné discuss: the nostalgic myth of “Camelot” • Lee Harvey Oswald and why he killed Kennedy • Cuba, Castro, the Bay of Pigs debacle • the CIA and why it is rational to be skeptical of their activities • the “magic bullet,” pristine or predictably damaged? • James Hosty and the FBI's files on Oswald before he killed JFK • CIA and FBI coverups • General Edwin Walker • Jack Ruby • Bernard Weissman, • common themes in conspiracy theories • witness intimidation • planted evidence • evidence tampering. Burt W. Griffin, Warren Commission Assistant Counsel was the assistant counsel to the president's commission on the assassination of President Kennedy (popularly known as the Warren Commission) and had primary responsibility for investigating and writing the section of the commission's report (1964) on whether Jack Ruby was engaged in a conspiracy to assassinate either JFK, Lee Oswald, or both.

Have you ever seen a weird bug or plant and thought, “Oh my God. What is THAT?” Then iNaturalist, a Bay Area invention, is the social platform for you. Begun as a graduate school project at UC Berkeley, it now receives hundreds of thousands of monthly submissions from nature enthusiasts across the globe. Users post photos of what they have seen and where they found it, and fellow citizen scientists, and often actual, scientists help identify the flora, fauna and habitat. Some iNaturalist aficionados have even identified new species. Now the site is going independent with the help of a $10 million grant. We'll survey the past and future of this remarkable Bay Area contribution to our collective understanding of the world. Guests: Ken-ichi Ueda, co-director, iNaturalist Scott Loarie, co-director, iNaturalist Jennifer Rycenga, professor emeritus in the Humanities Department, San Jose State University; former president of the Sequoia Audubon Society in San Mateo.

“In the neighbourhood I come from, drinking is very popular. Maybe it's the way people are brought up. They don't see it as a big problem. But obviously it is from what has happened.” Uma, 17 years. Last month, 21 teenagers died at a tavern in the city of East London. Some were as young as 13. The eldest was 17. The tragedy has ignited a debate about why many young people are consuming alcohol on a regular basis – and what can be done about it. Africa Daily is currently on tour and in Johannesburg – and so for the podcast's first ever live recording, Alan Kasujja discusses the issue in front of an audience of young people – and asks them for their thoughts. He also hears from a man who grew up, regularly drinking, in a township – ending up in and out of prison between the age of 13 and 26. He now counsels young people about how to make good choices about their lives and alcohol.

As we approach the sixtieth anniversary of the violent public assassination of President John F. Kennedy, over half of all Americans surveyed continue to believe that he was killed by a conspiracy involving multiple assassins. Shermer and Gagné discuss: conspiracies and conspiracy theories • what role conspiracy theories play in society • who believes conspiracy theories and why • why conspiracy theorists rewrite the past • paranoid skepticism as a role in conspiracism • Oliver Stone's “alternative version of history” • scapegoat theory of conspiracism (Rene Girard) and the military industrial complex • Marx's dialectical materialism and conspiracism: all life is a battle between rival tribes • stolen future theory of conspiracism: there but for the conspiracy… • common themes in conspiracy theories like JFK, 9/11 Truth, Obama Birtherism, QAnon, Rigged Election and many others • JFK: the lone-gunman theory vs. hundreds of conspiracy theories • the nostalgic myth of “Camelot” and balancing the ledger of moral outrage • when Jack Became Jesus: JFK as a crucified Jesus • who was Lee Harvey Oswald and why did he kill Kennedy? • Cuba, Castro, the Bay of Pigs debacle, and Operation Northwoods • the CIA and why it is rational to be skeptical of their activities • how to determine if a conspiracy theory is true, false, or uncertain • epistemology, truth claims, how to evaluate evidence, knowledge as justified true belief • knowing vs. believing: I don't want to believe in anything that must be believed in to be true • empirical truths vs. mythic truths • Did the resurrection of Jesus really happen or is it a mythological narrative with moral meaning. Michel Jacques Gagné teaches courses in critical thinking, political philosophy, philosophy of religion, and ethics in the Humanities Department of Champlain College Saint-Lambert, located near Montreal, Canada.

“Hate is not something you can be indifferent about and just find middle ground. You have to denounce it whenever you find it,” says Luis Duno-Gottberg. In this episode, the Professor of Caribbean and Film Studies discusses his experience teaching one of the Humanities Department's “Big Question Courses.” The question he and his students contend with is “what is hate?” Duno-Gottberg's cross-discipline approach to the course and this conversation leaves a lot the think about both within ourselves and in our global community. His research on how subverting images of hate can be incredibly impactful hits home within the hedges, as he discusses the decision to move the statue of William Marsh Rice instead of removing it from the quad entirely.

The University of Montana has long had a reputation as Montana's premier liberal arts school with a College of Humanities and Sciences that educates 42% of the university students. However, that same Humanities Department has endured 68% of UM's budget cuts since 2015, with 15 professors in the school accepting an early retirement package last semester. The hits to the humanities have left some degree programs with just one or two professors bearing heavier workloads and students who will be the last to graduate from UM with certain majors. Kaimin Features Editor Mariah Thomas joins Kaimin Cast host Austin Amestoy to break down the state of the Humanities and Sciences at UM and how faculty and students are adapting. Questions? Comments?

The Return to Embodiment: consciousness, culture, creativity and flourishing
In this conversation, I am speaking with Susan Imus MA, LCPC, BC-DMT, GL-CMA, about her attempts to create language and theoretical scaffolding for the field of dance/movement therapy. Susan was motivated by a question: how does dance/movement therapy work? In her most recent article, Creating Breeds Creating. In H. Wentgrower and S. Chaiklin (Eds), Dance and Creativity Within Dance Movement Therapy: International Perspectives. Susan suggests several models for understanding the work of dance/movement therapy including Nine Funamental Mechanisms, A-FECT Model of Aesthetics and Culture, and The Continuum of Interdisciplinary Approaches. Susan writes about how the field of dance/movement therapy spans the realms of the somatic, the aesthetic, and the psychological, and each of these realms explain aspects how dance/movement therapy works. Susan has created these models as offerings to the field, with the hope that they can bolster education, research and collaboration within the field internationally. Susan is Associate Professor and the former Chair of the Department of Creative Arts Therapies in the School of Fine and Performing Arts at Columbia College Chicago. Susan has practiced, educated, and consulted in dance/movement therapy and the creative arts throughout the U.S. and abroad for 33 years. Susan is the former chair of the Education, Research, and Practice Committee for the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA). She received the first Excellence in Education award by the ADTA in 2006. Susan, originally trained in nursing, has been employed as a dance/movement therapist by 10 different hospitals throughout her career in the Midwest and on the East Coast. Prestigious institutions include Harvard University's McLean Hospital and Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare, where she was recruited to assist in the development of chronic pain services through the Department of Medical Specialties. Susan teaches a course called Embodiment: A Way to Know Your Patient at Rush University Medical College and in the recent past at the Bioethics and Humanities Department in the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. Susan is active in the Arts in Health community working with Rush Generations; a wellness program through the Social Work and Community Health Department at Rush University Medical Center. Susan and the studentsa (arts in health minor) received the Community Engagement Award by the organization in 2017.
Sue Collins and Stefka Hritsova from Michigan Tech's Humanities Department have a year-long series on bad information and how it is a problem for media and public health officials. An exhibit is set up at the Van Pelt and Opie Libraries until November 21st. Several events are scheduled, having started last week with a talk by Harvard's Joan Donovan.
We've made it to the heights of the Empyrean—Heaven—with Dante and Beatrice. Surprisingly, we are met at this late stage by yet another guide, Bernard of Clairvaux. With Bernard we will praise the Blessed Mother, all the while preparing ourselves for the vision of God enjoyed by the blessed in Paradise. This vision—all too much for human language and craft to communicate—is masterfully envisioned by Dante the poet. We see Heaven as an unfolded rose bloom. The Trinity is glimpsed in its Triune Glory. The image of the human person is centered, incarnationally, at the heart of the mystery that is God. At last our journey that began in the dark wood comes to its culmination, where our sight will lose its power, but we will otherwise turn "with the Love that moves the sun and all the other stars."My companion is Paul Camacho, Associate Director of the Augustinian Institute and Assistant Teaching Professor of Philosophy in the Humanities Department at Villanova University.

Political science professor Dr. Michael Coulter joins Tim to talk about the challenges we face at the intersection of religion and politics. Michael is the chair of the Political Science and Humanities Department at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. In this episode we explore the current environment for civility and respect when it comes discussing religion and politics. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Religion_and_Politics_auphonic.mp3 It's an election year, and people are on edge. Log on to social media and you'll find everyone from celebrities to friends attacking each other over political, religious or social issues. Some people say they are trying to avoid certain family gatherings just to avoid those uncomfortable conversations. At the same time, as the nation gets closer to deciding an election, and the naming of a new Supreme Court justice, the intensity levels in the atmosphere are getting stronger. Against this backdrop many not only wonder how it got this way, but they wonder if we'll ever get back to a time when society could discuss sensitive issues with civility and respect. Dr. Michael Coulter of Grove City College has spent the better part of his career and research with a focus on the interaction of religion and politics, along with Catholic social thought, and early modern political philosophy. He teaches students on political and moral philosophy. In the course of that, he shows how to factor your own personal religious or moral values while also exploring larger political and strategic issues.

Today, I talk to four rising researchers who bring science, technology, and society analysis to bear on COVID-19. Tim Schutz, Prerna Srigyan, Maka Suarez, and Pedro de la Torre III. Pedro de la Torre III is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY), and an Adjunct Instructor in the Humanities Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. His research focuses on competing relations to place and history, as well as current and future land use, in contaminated spaces. He explored these issues ethnographically in my dissertation, “Unmaking Wastelands: Inheriting Waste, War, and Futures at the Hanford Site.” Pedro recently completed a PhD program in Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Tim Schütz is a second-year graduate student in the Department of Anthropology at the University of California, Irvine. Together with Kim Fortun, Scott G. Knowles and Jason Ludwig, he co-developed the project Quotidian Anthropocenes. He is also a member of the design group for the Platform for Experimental Collaborative Ethnography (PECE). In the COVID project, he focuses on a critical analysis of existing civic data tools to track the impact of the pandemic. Most recently, he began examining activist data archives responding to the Taiwanese company Formosa Plastics, currently expanding its operations in Louisiana's “Cancer Alley.” Prerna Srigyan is a second-year PhD student in the Department of Anthropology at UC Irvine. She studied Environment & Development at Ambedkar University Delhi and Chemistry from the University of Delhi. Since 2017, she has worked as a Researcher in The Asthma Files (TAF) project (also hosted by PECE) where she continues to develop her Master's research on science and advocacy around Delhi's air pollution. Her research interests are transnational science networks, science pedagogy and politics of collaboration. In the COVID project, she listens to understand how transnational STS collaborations work in practice. Maka Suarez is co-founder of Kaleidos-Center for Interdisciplinary Ethnography and assistant professor at the University of Cuenca in southern Ecuador. She is currently working on the design of a cross-disciplinary digital platform that combines ethnographic material with data analysis called EthnoData. The plan is to continue to expand this platform and include COVID19 related issues this year.
Asking the right question in an #ESL class - Learning Begins with Curiosity - ESL teacher training. The English Language Institute (#ELI) at the College of Staten Island/The City University of New York (#CUNY) presents a short lecture about asking the right question in an #English class, by CUNY teacher, Ms. Erika Heppner. ESL teachers can suggest their students to register in our ESL program in New York City: https://www.csi.cuny.edu/campus-life/student-services/center-global-engagement/english-language-institute / elistudy@csi.cuny.edu. CLASS DESCRIPTION — LEARNING BEGINS WITH CURIOSITY The objective of this class presentation is to introduce ESL teachers to the Right Question Institute at #Harvard University and to provide a brief explanation of the Question Forming Technique (#QFT). Using the QFT encourages students to ask their own questions. In this way, students figure out what they want to know. Instead of always being asked the question, they learn that they can also ask and they learn how to ask. The QFT is a group experience that helps students to better comprehend and understand what they are learning. It encourages curiosity, which in turn makes students active learners. The webinar will be organized like this: Part 1: Introduce the importance of encouraging students to ask questions—Open-Ended and Close-Ended Questions. Part 2: Review what viewers will learn during webinar: a) QFT: Rules for Producing Questions b) Steps in Using QFT in an ESL Classroom c) Links to QFT resources on the Right Question Institute's Website CUNY presenter: Erika Heppner Erika Heppner is a full-time lecturer in the Humanities Department at LaGuardia Community College/CUNY where she teaches courses in public speaking, speech communication for non-native speakers of English and intercultural communication. Prior to her tenure at LaGuardia, she taught ESL in the Loyola Intensive English Program at Loyola University in New Orleans and from 2010-2011 served as its director. Ms. Heppner has over 25 years of classroom teaching experience and has also taught English and video production in Spain, the Czech Republic, Mexico and England. Ms. Heppner earned a Master of Arts in English Teaching and a Master of Fines Arts in Drama and Communication, both from the University of New Orleans. She is an avid cyclist who enjoys traveling and adventure. She has recently planted a vegetable garden in her backyard where she struggles with hornworms and other unwelcomed insects.

Believe it or not, Canada might be the most important country determining what porn you’re watching today! I say that because the most popular porn sites in the world were created, and continue to operate, in Canada. PornHub, YouPorn, RedTube, and Brazzers just to name a few. While Canada has an extensive porn history and shapes the ways in which we consume and distribute porn today, oftentimes it’s overlooked in favor of its flashier cousin in the south known as the San Fernando Valley. This episode looks to change all of that with a panel that was recorded at the 2018 Society for Cinema & Media Studies in Toronto. This panel features a friend of the show, Professor Peter Alilunas talking about the pornographic history of Toronto’s most famous street, Yonge st. He specifically details the history of a theater on that street known as Cinema 2000. It was a screening room showing pornography on VHS starting in 1969! The second presenter is Cait McKinney. She’s a professor in the department of communication studies at California State University at Northridge. And in her talk, she details the history of a long-lost 1984 film titled Slumber Party. The film was made by a group of radical feminist lesbians. Cait also considers the role that lesbian porn played in the feminist porn wars in the 1980s. A topic that is rarely considered. The third paper is presented by Nikola Stepić. He’s a PhD student in Concordia University’s Humanities Department. And his paper covers how gay pornography shot in Montreal’s Gay Village acted as a type of visual tourism for the neighborhood, attracting people from all over the world, helping make Montreal the gay destination is it today. The final paper is by Patrick Keilty. He’s a Professor at the University of Toronto and his presentation covers the short history of Montreal’s emergence as a global porn capital, followed by a theoretical consideration of the digital interface we as viewers are presented with as we’re surfing these various sites emanating from this city. Here is a link for the pictures from each PowerPoint. Be sure to follow along! Peter Alilunas: “‘Closed Due to Pressure from the Morality Squad’: The Cinema 2000 and Pornography Regulation in Toronto” Cait McKinny: “Digitizing Controversies in Toronto’s Lesbian Porn Archives” Nikola Stepic: “Quebec Exposed: Gay Male Pornography as Virtual Tourism” Patrick Keilty: “Silicon(e) Valley: Montreal’s Porn Industry” New York magazine article about the rapid rise of the porn industry in Montreal: “The Geek-Kings of Smut.” More info about Jon Ronson’s podcast series titled The Butterfly Effect, which details Fabian Thylmann’s role in creating a porn empire in Montreal and more!

TODAY'S GUEST: I was born on August 26, 1951. According to my astrological chart, “peace and harmony are my battle cry.” (Talk about a perfect set-up for contradictions.) Apparently I am also “flashy but not gaudy and prefer to dress elegantly.” Obviously, my sartorial preferences reflect my greater spiritual depth. I have been, in no particular order, a NY City cab driver, scrap metal hauler, dishwasher, census taker, mail boy, ditch digger, bouncer, illegal narcotics distributor, general contractor, actor, and radio announcer, and carpenter. I am also an avid reader, seeker of God, weight gain/weight loss aficionado, ex-pot smoker, alcoholic, junkie, speed freak, raw foodist, vegan, lover, hater, father, husband, grad student, good guy, bad guy, social activist. I received my high school diploma when I was 51. I would have done it when I was younger but I was busy. Early in this century I was admitted to UCSB where I earned a BA in History. I then entered an MA program in the Humanities Department at San Francisco State University to sate a lifelong fascination in the subject. I'm particularly intrigued by the migration of cultures, peoples, and souls. As the subject of the documentary MAY I BE FRANK?, I have become a spokesperson for personal transformation and weight loss. My experience dealing with these struggles from a holistic perspective compels me to speak about the power of transformation that rests in all of us. I am not an expert nor do I have the answer. I have witnessed the indisputable fact that we are all connected. What we do can and will make a difference. I have learned that the three most important things a man can say are: I don't know.Would you please help me? I love you." HUNGRY FOR CHANGE exposes shocking secrets the diet, weight loss and food industry don't want you to know about; deceptive strategies designed to keep you coming back for more. Find out what's keeping you from having the body and health you deserve and how to escape the diet trap forever. In spite of the anxiety and uncertainty, I am so grateful to be alive and to participate in this adventure. I get to do my dream job. I travel and emotionally connect with people. The Beatles were right, ‘ ‘and in the end. The love you take is equal to the love you make.' I plan to make as much as possible. Connect With Today's guest: FRANK FERRANTE Website: http://www.mayispeakfrankly.com AND www.HungryForChange.tv Frank's Movie: http://amzn.to/2gp1HHR (affiliate link) On Twitter On Facebook IN THIS EPISODE: We all know that taking personal responsibility for your own issues and moving toward healing from the pain can be a hard thing to do. None of us come by that kind of courage naturally because the pain and fear hold us back. Normal is often more comfortable than the difficult path toward healing. But my guest today has a story that is a wonderful example of what can happen when you do take personal responsibility for your healing and walk the path to get there. I want you to meet Frank Ferrante, an inspirational author and speaker, on this episode of Vidal Speaks. Frank grew up in a very hostile, unhealthy environment. Those are his own words. It was the difficulty of those formative years that drove him to seek solace in all kinds of things that were not good for him, from hard drugs to overeating. But Frank has come to see that though he's still got significant pain from things done wrong to him, there's nobody responsible for changing the effect of those things except himself. I hope you'll listen to Frank Ferrante's story. It's not only inspiring, it's powerfully motivating for anyone who's struggling with addiction or obesity. You wouldn't expect a guy who was in Frank Ferrante's shoes to be the one to step beyond the pain and suffering he'd experienced to become an example for others to follow. His own wounds went so deep and his obesity and poor self-image were such debilitating problems, he was the last guy you'd consider for that kind of role. But an encounter with some young people who dared to love and encourage him made all the difference. When you hear the impact these simple gestures of friendship made in Frank's life you'll be able to see that your words and love toward others could make a powerful difference as well. It's never easy to deal with the pain of abuse and addiction. But there comes a point in every life where the pain becomes unacceptable and you have to do something about it. Frank Ferrante's story of overcoming those kinds of wounds is powerful because he wasn't even in a place to want that kind of healing when someone challenged him, through love, to take personal responsibility for himself and make positive changes. I hope you take the time to get to know Frank as he shares his story on this episode. He's got lots of heart and compassion and could be the one person who can speak to you right where you are. Life isn't a linear process. That's one of the things my guest on this episode, Frank Ferrante shares about how his progress and setbacks have contributed to making him who he is today. He's not one of those guru's who only lets you see the polished side of his life. In fact, he's not a guru at all. Frank is a normal guy who is very open about the continuing struggles he has and the hope that comes when he is honest about his life and the responsibility he has to take to make it better. You'll love the humble heart Frank speaks from, so I hope you'll take a bit of time to enjoy an inspirational story of overcoming the odds and making a change that lasts. Outline Of This Great Episode [1:59] My introduction to this episode and my guest, Frank Ferrante. [9:31] Frank's introduction to his movie, “May I Be Frank.” [25:20] How Frank became healed of his addictions and pain. [32:10] Uncovering the source of anguish that brings us to a bad place.

Her focus is on romantic relationships and black families. Hales earned her doctoral degree from the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Penn State in 2011. Her dissertation, titled “YOU, ME, and IT: Multimedia Relationship Maintenance in the 21st Century,” focused on behaviors individuals enact during computer-mediated communication to maintain their non-platonic relationships. ““Thanks to computers, the internet, and cell phones live our lives very differently than in the past,” said Andy Wible, chair of the Arts and Humanities Department and coordinator of the Lecture Series at MCC. “I look forward to hearing whether we are different persons as a result.” For more information, contact Wible at (231) 777-0626.

I am an assistant professor in the Humanities Department at NJIT. I received my PhD in Philosophy from Penn State University. Before that, I was a student at Deep Springs College and Columbia University. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and will be happy to discuss the woes of the Phillies, Eagles, or Sixers anytime. I now live in Brooklyn, NY. My core interest is in the tacit forms of understanding, for example, "know-how", gut insticts, intuitions, etc. I am interested in how tacit forms of understanding help to explain and describe various fields of social practice, including political discourse, collective action, and online social interaction. My training is in continental philosophy, the philosophy of social science, and the philosophy of technology.
1st International Symposium: Media Libraries and Archives for the 21st Century
Pau Alsina, Lecturer in the Arts and Humanities Department, UOC-Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona moderated this panel and presented an overview of the context in which media libraries and archives carry out their work. Talking about the access to culture that ICTs make possible, Pau Alsina discussed the case of the UOC, which has established itself as a totally virtual university since 1994, and which adopts new technologies with natural ease. In regards to teaching at the UOC, he expressed the need to create archives, media libraries and forms of storage that can offer access to knowledge. The very use of terms like “Information Society” and “Network Society” reveal the fundamental role of information in our society.
