Podcasts about James Madison College

The topic of this episode is a recent book that is titled, Congressional Deliberation: Major Debates, Speeches, and Writings 1774-2023 (Hackett 2024). The book is edited by Jordan T. Cash, a professor at James Madison College at Michigan State University, and by Kevin J. Burns, a professor at Benedictine College. As the book's title indicates, its coverage is capacious: the very first excerpt comes from John Adams' diary entries on the debates in the continental Congress, which he wrote in 1774. The books' very last entry is taken from the debates that led to the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy in 2023.Certainly, I could go on and on about all the parts of the book that fascinate me, but today we're going to do something better than that. I am going to chat with one of the editors, Jordan Cash.Click here to read the full transcript.

Eli Sussman grew up in the Detroit suburb of Huntington Woods. After graduating from Berkley High School, MSU's James Madison College felt like a natural next step.  “One of the great things about James Madison is that the classes are small, and the conversation is lively,” says Sussman. “I thrived in that atmosphere.”  Perhaps that's because lively conversation has always been part of his life. Family was important in the Sussman house, and eating dinner together was a central component in the lives of his large circle.   Sussman says it was a long journey from an interest in politics to an interest in food. He always had cooking jobs to make money and worked at Lou and Harry's in East Lansing as a line cook. “I loved it,” he says. “It was so fun because there was great comradery. It was a hard job, but it spoke to me. The fire was lit at Lou and Harry's.”  After graduation and a study abroad experience at a music management and public relations firm in London, Sussman put this burgeoning interest in cooking aside and moved to Los Angeles to work in the music industry for five years.   “I was enjoying cooking on the weekends more than I was enjoying the weekdays at my desk,” he says. “At the time, the music business was transitioning away from CDs to digital downloads, and my brother, who was a chef in New York City, said to me ‘just come here and try it. You can always return to the music industry if you decide you don't like cooking.'  “I started back at the beginning and became a prep line cook. I knew instantaneously that I had made the right decision and that I would never return to the music industry.”  Sussman's latest project is a neighborhood bistro in Prospect Heights Brooklyn called Gertrude's that features Jewish and French influences. Eli's 7-layer kosher chocolate cake, inspired by the Jewish bakeries around Metro Detroit that he loved growing up, took on “a life of its own.” It was selected as one of The New York Times Top 8 Dishes of 2023 by food critic Pete Wells. “It's a nice way to tie my Michigan roots to a New York restaurant.”  In addition to going viral with his chocolate cake, Sussman now hosts the popular “Talkinin the WalkIn,” a video series in which Sussman interviews chefs in a restaurant's walk-in fridge.  “The optimal place in the restaurant where people go to hide or get away is the walk-in,” he says. “This is where the meat and potatoes of your thinking happens. The setting tends to lead to compelling conversations.”  Sussman encourages today's students to “be open to the idea that maybe the first thing you've chosen doesn't have to be the be-all end-all. You have many opportunities to reinvent yourself and start over. Focus on what excites you now. And if you don't know what that is yet, that's OK.”   Soon,Sussman will have a presence in Michigan in the form of Italian-American cuisine. Alo's, a joint venture with his brother, is slated for 2025 opening in Ann Arbor.    “Even though I haven't lived in Michigan since I was 18, I am a major advocate for Michigan; it's a huge part of my identity,” he says. “People sleep on how wonderful Michigan is as a produce state—we have incredible farms. My brother and I are really excited about using our restaurant to showcase that Michigan produce is the best in America.”   Conversation Highlights: (0:43) – Eli on growing up in suburban Detroit and why he chose MSU for college. (2:31) – Describe your journey from politics to the music industry to the culinary world. And how did your study abroad experience play into the process? (9:01) – How and when do you dive into the food world in New York City? (13:03) – How did your MSU and James Madison College experience impact you? (18:39) – How would you describe the fare you enjoy cooking for people to enjoy at Gertrude's? (21:18) – What is Talkin in the Walkin, and how did it come about? Why is cooking like being in college? (25:35) – Why do you enjoy “punching up” at the Michelin culture that exists in parts of the hospitality industry? (28:07) – What's your advice for students today regardless of what they want to do? What two major mistakes do you feel you made? (30:48) – What motivates you and gets you up and going every day? (32:44) – Tell us about your plans to open a restaurant in Ann Arbor. Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

On the forty-third episode of The Constitutionalist, Shane Leary and Dr. Benjamin Kleinerman are joined by both Dr. Jordan Cash, Assistant Professor of Political Science of James Madison College at Michigan State University, and Isabelle Thelen, a Ph.D. student at Baylor University. They discuss President Biden's controversial pardons, including his own son, as well as his issuance of mass pardons and commutations, which the administration has described as 'the largest single-day clemency event for any president in modern U.S. history. Moreover, they discuss the administration's indication that Biden is considering preemptively pardoning political opponents of Donald Trump. We want to hear from you!

Professor William B. Allen is the Emeritus Dean of James Madison College, and Professor Emeritus of Political Philosophy at Michigan State University. I had the privilege of hearing Professor Allen speak at the Alumni Summit on Free Expression hosted by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, also known as ACTA, and the Alumni Free Speech Alliance, also known as AFSA. The title of his talk was Criminals Think, but Thinking is not Criminal, and I felt strongly then, as I do today, that my audience, parents and teachers in particular, needed to hear from him directly.Professor Allen's Talk:https://youtu.be/P1nLRW_hXC4?si=PETMTDS6mfqOC_HWTranscript as an Article at The Journal of Free Black Thought:https://freeblackthought.substack.com/p/criminals-think-but-thinking-is-notProfessor Allen's book:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001IZ0ZS8/allbooksSUPPORT THIS CHANNELYour support makes my work possible.

We admit it.  We are big fans of federalism.  Regular listeners will understand that Constitution grants certain rights to the federal government and courtesy of the 10th amendment, remaining powers are reserved for the states.  Does this mean federalism is a function of recognition of states' rights?  Our special guest argues this characterization is better suited if we view federalism as a function of decentralized and self-government as it relies on local authority.  Join our guest, Dr. William B. Allen, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy and Dean of James Madison College at Michigan State University, and our student panel for this enlightening conversation on federalism.

An Interview with William Barclay Allen America's founders are revered for creating a structure of governance that values individual rights and promotes human flourishing. Nearly 250 years after they took the first steps toward creating a more perfect union by drafting and adopting the US Constitution, the nation continues to be a beacon of hope and opportunity around the world. That the Framers could so eloquently articulate the principles of ordered liberty that guide us today results in part from their own careful examination of the great thinkers of the 17th and 18th century.   Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Dr. William Barclay Allen. A 2024 Bradley Prize winner, he has dedicated his life's work to studying the Founders and the philosophers who influenced the Western tradition. He is also committed to instilling an understanding and appreciation of that tradition among the next generation.  Allen is the Emeritus Dean of James Madison College and Professor of Political Science at Michigan State University. He is a former member and chairman of the US Commission on Civil Rights and has been a Kellogg National Fellow, Fulbright Fellow, and a member of the National Council on the Humanities. Topics discussed on this episode:  How Allen's experience growing up in the segregated south influenced his life's path The story of his intellectual journey Why Allen translated Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws His decision to focus on America's founders and the US Constitution Why Allen believes Washington is the most important founder and America's first progressive Teaching history in a way that reflects the words and experiences of those who lived it Advice to young scholars who are just starting out What it means to Allen to win a Bradley Prize

About the Lecture In the struggle to adopt the US Constitution, the philosopher Montesquieu's book, Spirit of the Laws, was frequently cited by both proponents and opponents of ratification. Highly regarded at the time of America's founding, this 1748 masterpiece has fallen into unjust neglect which Professor Allen's fresh translation and commentary should do much to rectify. Professor Allen will discuss Montesquieu's thought on matters of special importance for IWP students, including national security, economics, political and constitutional order, and their moral, cultural, and religious implications. Professor Allen will highlight Montesquieu's account of the conflict between freedom and slavery, a conflict which intersects with the greatest questions of our own age. About the Speaker W. B. Allen, Emeritus Professor of Political Philosophy and Dean of James Madison College at Michigan State University, served previously as Chairman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. He is General Editor of The State of Black of America (2022) and resident scholar and former Chief Operating Officer of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education in Washington, D.C. His latest publication is the newly released Montesquieu's The Spirit of the Laws: A Critical Edition, Parallel Text and Commentary (Anthem Press). Recognized for excellence in liberal education on the 1997 Templeton Honor Roll and as a 2014 Salvatori Prize laureate, he has published extensively, including George Washington: A Collection (Liberty Fund, Inc.), Rethinking Uncle Tom: The Political Philosophy of H. B. Stowe (Lexington Books), George Washington: America's First Progressive (Peter Lang, Inc.) and scores of essays.

“I graduated from Michigan State University in 1992. I met my wife, Raina, here, and we graduated together. We both live about a mile from campus. I worked in the Michigan legislature as a staffer for 17 years, all for legislators from Detroit or Flint. I was communications director for the House Dems, communications director for the Michigan Democratic Party, and started my own PR campaign consulting company in 2004. We do a lot of surveys all over the country. I also have a small gig as a civilian researcher for the Lansing Police Department Cold Case Homicide Unit.”Research and polling have taken a little bit of a beating the last few years. What's the state of your industry?“Polling's interesting. I'll be honest with you, I do less and less political polling and do more association and corporate polling. But it's getting tough. People are getting overwhelmed with phone calls. People don't want to answer calls on their cell phones that they don't recognize. At least in Michigan, if you still have a landline and if you still answer a landline, you're a solid voter. How do you get to those people who don't want to answer a survey? I think part of the problem is some people in this business make their surveys way too long, and it's got to be really short. “The other thing is, when you look at politics today and you compare it to 10, 15, or 20 years ago, politics today is so much more fluid. If you look at a gubernatorial or a presidential campaign, I would argue maybe there are one or two events throughout the campaign that really sway voters, really move voters. Now, it seems like every week, almost every other day, there might be an incident or a quote-unquote "scandal" that moves the electorate. That's part of the problem we're seeing with polling. There are also a lot of fly-by-night companies that really don't do a very good job. There's no degree you need to be a pollster. Anybody could say they're doing this.”Why did you want to be on the MSU Board of Trustees? What made you run?“I'm proud to be a Michigan State graduate. I'm proud to be a Spartan. We do amazing work every single day. We're a world class university. We're a top research university and I'm really proud of that and I really want to help continue that mission. Michigan State touches every single corner of the state, all 83 counties. We have an Extension office in every single county. MSU does some incredible things. We're changing lives, we're saving lives every single day, and I wanted to help be part of that.”How do you want to impact the board?“I'm optimistic about the future leadership of this university. We're going to have a new president. We're going to have a new chair of the MSU Board. We're going to have two new trustees. Those all could be very positive things moving forward for Michigan State University's leadership.“MSU is a huge university. I feel like I know a lot, but I know there's a lot I don't know. There's a lot I have to learn. The most important thing we're going to have to do as a board is we're going to have to find a new president to lead our university forward, and that's the most important thing we're going to do. Michigan State does incredible work in so many different fields. We need to do a better job talking about this. I want to see more about the great work we're doing, the transformational work Michigan State University is doing, not just here in East Lansing, but literally all over the world.”What are some challenges and opportunities for MSU moving forward?“One is budget and finances. When tuition is your number one source of revenue, can we continue to go to that well? Do we need to look at other avenues? Obviously, we continue to go to our donors. We continue to look for new donors. There are a lot of financial pressures on Michigan State. We're in a significantly better position than many of our public universities. I don't mean that as a criticism of our other public universities, but there are places we need to grow and expand.”Why did you choose MSU when you were ready to go to college?“I just thought Michigan State was a great place. It was a great opportunity for me to get away from home. I liked the idea of going to James Madison College because I felt like it was a small college within a large university. MSU gives students an opportunity to do a lot of different things, whether it's being involved in student radio, being involved in athletics, having a Power Five sports program on campus, or volunteering in the community. There are just so many different things students can do on campus, and I just loved the thought of being able to do that.”How would you say your time at MSU impacted you and helped you become who you are and are still becoming?“Michigan State University opened my eyes to the diversity of the world, both in people and ideas. It's hard to believe that when I was a senior in high school, I didn't have all the answers. I didn't know everything. Michigan State made me realize that. I'm still realizing that. I think that's one of the things I love about Michigan State is we do have a diversity of people. We have a diversity of ideas. Can we be more diverse? Sure, and that's an important goal here. We are in the middle of mid-Michigan, and we have people from all over the world who are making Michigan State a great university.“I've already met with numerous people on campus. I'm still meeting with people. I'm still learning. I'm still listening. I realize I still have a lot more to learn. I want to make Michigan State as great as it can be. I realize we're an incredible university and I really want to continue sharing that story with the rest of the state and the rest of the world.”MSU Today airs Saturdays at 5 p.m. and Sundays at 5 a.m. on WKAR News/Talk and Sundays at 8 p.m. on 760 WJR.

Tony Conley kicks off his thirteenth episode with a three-part interview of Bob Trezise, who has been President & CEO of the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) since 2011, representing the Lansing, Michigan region (Clinton, Eaton and Ingham counties) with an MSA population of over half a million. During Bob's tenure with LEAP, the tri-county Lansing regional economy welcomed private sector investment projects totaling over $3 billion, along with more than 6,400 direct-private jobs. This economic development success grew LEAP into a nationally recognized top 20 economic development organization (Site Selection Magazine, 2021 MacConway Award Winner). Beyond LEAP, Bob has been leading or guiding the city of Lansing's economic development efforts since 2006, having served as president and CEO of the Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) from 2006-2011 and leading LEAP's contract for economic development services with the city of Lansing since 2011. LEAP manages the city's Brownfield Authority, Tax Increment Finance Authority, Corridor Improvement Authorities and LEDC programs and board of directors through this contract. Under Bob's leadership and guidance, the city has experienced massive revitalization ranging in the billions of dollars, thousands of jobs created and eight straight years of population growth. In 2011, Bob received the Michigan Economic Developer's Association (MEDA) Economic Development Medalist of the Year award and, in 2016, received MEDA's prestigious President's Award. Bob's projects have also, seven times, received the International Economic Development Council's (IEDC) Gold and Silver projects of the Year awards. Bob's pinnacle project, the $182 million revitalization of the long-abandoned, downtown Lansing riverfront “Power Station” into a national corporate headquarters, won the National Brownfield Association's Region 5 Phoenix Award and was the National #1 Runner Up winner. Bob was honored to be selected as one of North America's 50 Top Economic Developers in 2020 by Consultant Connect, a leading consulting agency focused on bridging the gap between economic developers and site consultants. In the early days of Bob's long-standing economic development career, he served as the Managing Director and creator of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Community Assistance Team (CATeam) from 2001 – 2006. Additionally, Bob is the founder of the Michigan Main Street program and worked on hundreds of community revitalization projects across Michigan. Additionally, Bob served as vice president of the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce (LRCC) board and Director of Delta Township's economic development department. In both roles, Bob was part of the successful Keep GM campaign. LEAP is a unique and diverse economic development organization with an impact portfolio ranging from brick-and-mortar developments and massive business attraction projects to management of Ingham County's economic development efforts and the region's SmartZone (LRSZ) to delivering robust entrepreneurial programs; diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; and placemaking programs, including creating and supporting the Lansing Poet Laureate program, LEAP's flagship inclusive entrepreneurship program One and All. The Arts Council of Greater Lansing has recognized Bob and LEAP's cutting-edge placemaking efforts with the Business Leadership Award. Bob and LEAP's staff were also recognized by the US Small Business Administration's Administrator for outstanding regional entrepreneurial efforts. Bob grew up in the city of Lansing, is married to Kerri and they have four children. Bob is a proud graduate of the Lansing School District, James Madison College at Michigan State University and the Public Administration/Public Affairs Graduate program at Western Michigan University. He is also a published poet. Thank you to Benjamin Robinson and Motor City Skyline's music open.spotify.com/track/7y23KC54uZ…fPSoq_BrEnoS9kUw

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we'll hear a book panel discussion on "Do Markets Corrupt Our Morals?" written by Virgil Henry Storr and Ginny Seung Choi. This book explores whether or not engaging in market activities is morally corrupting. Storr and Choi demonstrate that people in market societies are wealthier, healthier, happier and better connected than those in societies where markets are more restricted. More provocatively, they explain that successful markets require and produce virtuous participants. Ginny Choi presents the book's main argument and is joined by three panelists — Brianne Wolf, Assistant Professor of Political Theory at James Madison College at Michigan State University; Rosemarie Fike, Instructor of Economics at Texas Christian University; and Chad van Schoelandt, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Tulane University. The panel is moderated by Peter Boettke.

The 1918 influenza pandemic provides a cautionary tale for what the future may hold for COVID-19, says Chandra.After a decade studying a flu virus that killed approximately 15,000 Michigan residents, Chandra, a professor in MSU's James Madison College, saw his research come to life as he watched the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.“It was so surreal,” said Chandra, who has a courtesy appointment in epidemiology and biostatistics. “All of a sudden, I was living my research.”Chandra's research is published in the American Journal of Public Health with co-authors Julia Christensen, a graduate of James Madison College; Madhur Chandra, Senior Community Epidemiologist with the Ingham County Health Department and graduate of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at MSU; and Nigel Paneth, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics and pediatrics at MSU.Using influenza infection and mortality data on Michigan from 1918-1920, Chandra identified four distinct waves. The first large peak was in March 1918. “After a second spike in cases in October 1918, the governor instituted a statewide ban on public gatherings,” Chandra said. “Much like the restrictions that were put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.”After three weeks, the number of cases decreased and the ban was lifted, which led to another peak in December 1918. “The ban didn't stop the spread of the flu. It just delayed the spike in cases,” he said.Chandra mapped the data showing the peaks and spikes in cases from October 1918 and December 1918 and tracked flu virus case growth by county over time. In October, counties in the southern part of the state and near the Mackinac Straits had the highest numbers but by December, the highest numbers of cases were in the heart of the state.The most surprising piece of data came 18 months later in February 1920, when a statewide explosion of cases created a massive spike even larger than the one in October 1918. For Chandra, it is an educated guess as to the reasons for this delayed increase.“Assuming it's the same influenza virus, World War I ended in 1918 and the men were coming home to their families,” he said. “We had a mobile agent that brought the virus home to infect family members, which would explain the increase in cases among children and the elderly.”Unfortunately, there is not a way to confirm this, Chandra noted. “We would need samples from patients in 1920 from across the state. Then, we would need to compare those with samples from patients in 1918 from across the state, and that's not likely to happen.”The weather may have also been a factor since cool temperatures with low humidity likely provided optimal conditions for the virus to live and spread. Another factor that played a role was the absence of a vaccine.“In 1918, there was no hope for a vaccine. In 2021, we have a vaccine available,” he said.One of the key insights from the 1918 pandemic that can inform the public health response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic is the number of people who are susceptible to the virus. Which means that it is possible that a spike like the February 1920 one will occur in late 2021 or early 2022.“So many people will remain susceptible until they get vaccinated,” Chandra said. “Bad things can still happen a year or two from now even if we see a decrease in the number of cases now. We still have over 200 million people walking around who are susceptible to the virus, including myself.”Written by Emilie Lorditch MSU Today airs Sunday mornings at 9:00 on 105.1 FM, AM 870, and wkar.org.

Rachel Ryder caught up with Alexie Milukin. In recognition of National Financial Aid Month, high school and college students across Michigan in search of scholarships and financial aid are invited to attend a free “EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP SUMMIT” hosted by Alexie Miluhkin, Miss Jackson Crossroads 2020 live via ZOOM. Participants may choose one of two dates scheduled for the event: Wednesday, February 10th, 4:00PM or Sunday, February 21st, 2:00PM – both Eastern Standard Time. Registration for the summit is online HERE: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeECzHNDoyNTyn5v9xPtuNVHVMuBaJn7i5ABh8We-Ph2gUQWA/viewform Participants will be provided with an event link via email. The “EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP SUMMIT” is the brainchild of Ms. Milukhin, a James Madison College sophomore at Michigan State University specializing in Public Policy. Ms. Milukhin will share practical processes, strategies, and insights she has developed and applied earning her over 50k in scholarships and grant receipts to date. “We will delve into the scholarship process using my personal experiences to provide insight and a strong foundation” said Ms. Milukhin. “Key elements will include finding scholarships and grants that fit specific career paths, how to structure essays and provide relevant information, and how to apply a competitive edge allowing applicants to stand out among others.” With the impact Covid-19 has had on in-person classroom engagement, students may feel less optimistic and/or motivated to seek scholarships and financial assistance. “I want to do everything I can to share my knowledge and encourage those that may fall through the cracks or feel they don’t stand a chance” added Ms. Miluhkin. “As a first generation college student from a single parent home and experiencing the “education gap”, I have firsthand knowledge of feeling frustrated and left behind. What I have learned through trial and error has been game changing helping transition from no scholarships to amazing success”. Ms. Miluhkin has pioneered a free reference website for high school and college students. The site offers abundant information including: Financial Aid; Scholarship Database; College Credit; Standardized Testing; College Application; and Virtual Writing Consultancy. https://sites.google.com/view/empowermentthrougheducation/home As Miss Jackson Crossroads, Ms. Milukhin will represent Jackson County in the June 2021 Miss Michigan Scholarship Competition held in Muskegon.

Judge Herman Marable has served 20 years on the 68th District Court bench.  Over that time he has been active in helping high school students through his charitable initiative : Judge Marable's Student of the Month.  He describes how he has helped mentor Flint area youth to attend college and set goals for themselves.  His program has worked in conjunction with James Madison College at Michigan State University to introduce Flint area students to the requirements of college.   Judge Marable also shares his concerns about how juries in Genesee County are selected.  The Courts have long sought to have a broad cross section of jurors representative of the entire community.  However, the inclusion of minorities and some senior citizens who don't have access to the internet and technology are not able to complete their juror questionnaires leaving them out of the pool of potential jurors.  This poses a problem for the community as in some cases no minorities serve at all on Genesee County juries and thus don't reflect the community as a whole. Lastly, Judge Marable shares with us his personal story of his family and growing up in the Flint area.  If you want to learn more about Judge Marable here are some links for you to follow: Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/JudgeHermanMarableJr/ Profile of Judge Marable http://www.mycitymag.com/leading-by-example-honorable-herman-marable-jr/?fbclid=IwAR1uU3sK03CLyu2uvvX5F5k-brg8lRMns_3Uv_0hx-IIX1MqLQRNMYStoqE Student of the Month Program http://legalnews.com/detroit/1428345/ Judge Marable on Debt Collection & Garnishment http://legalnews.com/detroit/1472019/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiofreeflint/message

On this week of The Sci-Files, your hosts Chelsie and Danny speak with Kevin Kraef, a Junior at MSU's James Madison College and Eli Broad School of Business majoring in International Relations and Supply Chain Management. Kevin conducted his research on behalf of MSU's Institute for Public Policy and Social Research (IPPSR) directed by Dr. Matthew Grossman. In the past year, he investigated the effects of earned income tax credits (EITC), child tax credits (CTC), and publicly funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid in providing Americans with affordable healthcare. While examining these programs and their implementation in various states, Kevin also compared US programs to those in other countries like Germany, Switzerland, the UK, and South Korea to observe any differences in cost distribution, quality of treatment, accessibility, and patient satisfaction. Finally, Kevin focused on understanding and finding a solution to disadvantaged communities and their lack of access to affordable healthcare in the US by comparing different systems and poverty reduction methods from Michigan, Massachusetts, Texas, and California and other countries, specifically Germany and the UK. The results of the research demonstrate that in order to provide affordable healthcare for the majority of the US, a combination of EITC, CTC, and public programs like Medicare and Medicaid would be most effective alongside current private health insurance providers in our current system. However, in exploring other systems, a total reform towards a more universal system has a more promising outlook on providing equal access to affordable healthcare for all, including disadvantaged minority communities while providing varying degrees of cost burden on the taxpayer base.

Social distancing was put in place but drugs were ineffective, there was no vaccine, and in many places medicine could not cope. The world recovered but was never the same again. What can the last great pandemic teach us about how to combat Covid-19 today? Three world experts join Bridget Kendall: Laura Spinney, science journalist and author of Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How it Changed the World;. Svenn Erik Mamelund, historical demographer and research professor at Oslo Metropolitan University; Siddharth Chandra, director of the Asian Studies Centre and professor at James Madison College, Michigan State University.

Drafting a Special Needs Trust is only the foundation of sound planning. On that foundation are additional documents and steps to take. In this episode we discuss two. First, the memorandum of intent which gives direction on wishes and day to day care.  This episode covers what to put in the memo of intent, ensuring it is easy to find, being bold yet discreet in wishes that others may not like, and why you should not store it in your safe at home. The second consideration discussed is the importance of funding the trust via retitling to avoid probate.

Immigration and Russian foreign policy are focal points of contemporary US politics, yet little in-depth information about either is on offer. This panel discussion will address both through the lens of the unrecognized impact of the waves of Russian-speaking immigrants to the US described in Hammer and Silicon, (Cambridge University Press, 2018). The presentation of the book and the panel discussion will provide important background for current policy discussions through delving into the unintended consequences of past Soviet and Russian foreign policy that allowed for the immigration of many highly educated, talented Russian-speaking scientists, researchers and entrepreneurs to the US. Hammer and Silicon presents the untold story of the significant contributions of these technical professionals to the US innovation economy, particularly in the sectors of software, social media, biotechnology and medicine. Drawing upon more than 150 in-depth interviews split between Boston/Cambridge and Silicon Valley, the book chronicles the hardships they endured in transit and in cultural adaptation; while also exploring how they took advantage of new opportunities in their adopted homeland. Their stories and experience are part of a broader picture of immigrant contributions to the US tech sector that is extremely relevant to today’s debates over the future of immigration policy.
