He directs the Culture & Mental Health Research Unit at the Jewish General Hospital where he conducts research on the mental health of Aboriginal peoples, and mental health services for immigrants and refugees. He is the editor of Cultural Consultation: Encountering the Other in Mental Health Care. In this episode, we focus on Cultural Consultation. We first discuss what cultural psychiatry is, why cultural diversity is a challenge to mental health care, and the different approaches to addressing diversity in mental health services. We delve into the challenges faced by migrants; how gender and ethnicity interact with hierarchies of power, and why that matters in a clinical context; working with marginalized communities; and working in rural and remote communities. We talk about how “healers” can help with psychological issues, and the issues with psychological traits that are stigmatized in certain cultural contexts. Finally, we discuss if culture influences how mental disorders manifest themselves, and how the social sciences can contribute to psychiatry. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, JONATHAN VISSER, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, MIKKEL STORMYR, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, MORTEN EIKELAND, DR BYRD, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, ROOFTOWEL, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, PEDRO BONILLA, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Wael B. Hallaq is the Avalon Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University, where he has been teaching ethics, law, and political thought since 2009. His teaching and research deal with the problematic epistemic ruptures generated by the onset of modernity and the socio-politico-historical forces subsumed by it; with the intellectual history of Orientalism and the repercussions of Orientalist paradigms in later scholarship and in Islamic legal studies as a whole; and with the synchronic and diachronic development of Islamic traditions of logic, legal theory, and substantive law and the interdependent systems within these traditions. Hallaq's writings have explored the structural dynamics of legal change in pre-modern law, and have examined the centrality of moral theory to understanding the history of Islamic law and modern political movements. For the past decade and a half, his work has increasingly focused on the critique of the modern project, including the paradigmatic structures of knowledge that drive it. His current research attempts to map the constitutional practices of Islamic governance between the eighth and eighteenth centuries, with a view, among other things, to constructing a heuristic for a critique of modern constitutional arrangements. Hallaq joined McGill University as an assistant professor of Islamic law in 1985, after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 1983. He became a full professor in 1994, and was named a James McGill Professor in Islamic law in 2005. He is the author of over eighty major scholarly articles and numerous books, including most recently Restating Orientalism: A Critique of Modern Knowledge (2018) and Reforming Modernity: Ethics and the New Human in the Philosophy of Abdurrahman Taha (2019). Among other books, he has also published Authority, Continuity, and Change in Islamic Law (2001), The Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law (2005), Shari`a: Theory, Practice, Transformations (2009), and An Introduction to Islamic Law (2009). Professor Hallaq's work is widely debated and translated, with several books and dissertations, and numerous articles, devoted to the study and analysis of his writings. In 2015, his Impossible State (2013) won Columbia's distinguished Book Award for the two years prior, and since it appeared in Arabic in 2014, it has commanded much attention in academic circles and mass media in the Muslim world. In 2007, he won the Islamic Republic of Iran's best book prize for his Origins and Evolution, and in 2020, the Nautilus Book Award for Reforming Modernity. In 2021, he was awarded the TÜBA Prize, given by the Turkish Academy of Science in recognition of innovative and path-breaking scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Dozens of his major articles and all his books have now been rendered into Arabic and Turkish, and many are translated into several other languages including Indonesian, Japanese, Persian, Urdu, Hebrew, Italian, German, French, and most recently Albanian, Russian and Bengali.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario N-D-P Leader Andrea Horwath is walking back comments she made opposing mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for education workers. She says in a statement that she made a mistake on Wednesday suggesting a mandatory vaccine policy during a pandemic should take a back seat to charter rights. She fully supports mandatory vaccination in health care and education, based on science and public health priorities. Premier Doug Ford has said he won't mandate vaccinations for workers, saying he thinks it's a constitutional right to refuse the shot. GUEST: Laura Babcock, President of PowerGroup - Quebec will implement a vaccine passport system in September in an effort to tamp down the threat of a fourth wave, becoming only the second province, after Manitoba, to restrict some activities to fully inoculated residents. Premier François Legault said on Thursday that Quebec is requiring proof of immunization in response to a rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the province. Six days ago, modelling from the Public Health Agency of Canada showed that more than 80 per cent of people 12 and older will need to be twice vaccinated to prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed in the fall as the highly transmissible Delta variant spreads. ALSO: PM says he's considering making COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for federal workers GUEST: Daniel Beland, James McGill Professor of Political Science and Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada with McGill University - A proposed expansion of Hamilton's urban boundary continues to generate a strong backlash. City Councillors received public comment on Wednesday on a staff recommendation to add 1,340 hectares of farmland to the urban growth area. The urban boundary expansion would be designed to help accommodate a projected population increase of more than a quarter-million residents over the next three decades. The city is mandated by provincial policy to determine how and where to plan for forecasted population of 820,000 people by 2051. Most delegates who addressed councillors on Wednesday, including Environment Hamilton's Lynda Lukasik, are calling on elected officials to follow through on their climate crisis declaration by saying no to further sprawl and meeting provincial growth targets through intensification.

GUEST: Saibal Ray, James McGill Professor of Operations Management at the Desautels Faculty of Management and the Academic Director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management - The United States unveiled details of its first global donations of COVID-19 vaccines Thursday, with plans to ship 19 million doses through the COVAX vaccine-sharing alliance, and another six million doses directly to neighbours, including Canada, and countries experiencing pandemic surges. The offer comes as Canada's vaccine rollout is nearing the best in the world, and at the same time as pressure is mounting on the Canadian government to start sharing some of its COVID-19 vaccines as well. Canada isn't producing any COVID-19 vaccines of its own, but has been criticized for not sharing any doses of imported vaccines. “By August, Canada will have enough to fully vaccinate its entire population,” reads a statement signed by 32 agencies and organizations, including the Canadian arms of One, UNICEF, World Vision, the Mennonite Central Committee, Canadian Council of Imams and the Anglican Council of Indigenous People. The groups joined together Thursday to pressure Canada to donate to COVAX four million doses by the end of June – one-tenth of the doses Canada expects to have delivered by then – and then to donate up to 94 million excess doses by the end of the year.

GUEST: Justin Bates, CEO of the Ontario Pharmacist Association - Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff told MPs Friday that she never informed the Prime Minister in 2018 about an allegation of sexual misconduct against then-chief of the defence staff Jonathan Vance. Testifying before the House of Commons defence committee, Katie Telford said she followed the advice of then-clerk of the privy council Michael Wernick to allow his office to investigate. It’s the story that reaches to the top of the Prime Minister’s Office, that has caused damage to the Liberal government’s feminist brand, led to calls for the defence minister to resign and for the prime minister to fire his chief of staff. At the heart of it is this question: What happened with an allegation against ex-chief of the defence staff Gen. Jonathan Vance in 2018?

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Even as Ontario enters a third wave of COVID-19 infections and more contagious variants, the province is loosening restrictions on restaurants. The Ontario government wants to get the economy moving again -- so it is allowing outdoor dining in lockdown regions, and is boosting restaurant capacity for other zones. GUEST: Dr. Timothy Sly, Epidemiologist and Professor Emeritus in the School of Population and Public Health with Ryerson University - It’s official, after countless unsourced news reports and rumours: Spectators from abroad will be barred from the postponed Tokyo Olympics when they open in four months. Officials said the risk was too great to admit ticket holders from overseas during a pandemic. The Japanese public has also opposed fans from abroad. Several surveys have shown that up to 80 per cent oppose holding the Olympics, and a similar percentage opposed fans from overseas attending. Japan, which has attributed about 8,800 deaths to COVID-19, has controlled the virus better than most countries. GUEST: Marnie McBean, Team Canada’s Tokyo 2020 Chef de Mission and three-time Olympic gold medallist - Efforts to enshrine the reality of climate change in official Conservative party policy failed this weekend, marking a blow to Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s efforts to position his party as serious on environmental issues. A vote on the matter came at the party’s official policy convention, which concluded on Saturday. Though the party’s policy declaration already contains a lengthy section on that subject, 54 per cent of delegates voted against expanding it to include the sentence “we recognize that climate change is real. The Conservative Party is willing to act.” GUEST: Daniel Béland, James McGill Professor of Political Science and Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada with McGill University See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why do people self-harm? (with Dr. Nancy Heath)

Being Human

Self-harm (or self-injury) has been defined as the "intentional direct injury of one's own tissues without a suicidal intention", and is more common than we realise, primarily among young people who self-harm as a means of emotional release. A 2019 survey by YouGov (a British market research company) found that a quarter of Malaysians surveyed experienced suicidal thoughts, and 26% disclosed self-harm behaviours. The data showed one in 10 young Malaysians (aged 18-24) engaged in self-harm "frequently". In this episode of Being Human, Dr. Chua Sook Ning is joined by Dr. Nancy Heath - a James McGill Professor in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology at McGill University - who is a renowned researcher in emotion regulatory difficulties, stress, coping, mindfulness, and non-suicidal self-injury. Their enlightening discussion explores what motivates people to use self-harm as a coping mechanism, and what we need to understand about the behaviour in order to better support people who self-harm. If you (or anyone you know) engages in self-harming behaviours, Dr. Heath's website provides free coping strategy resources and insightful information on why people self-harm and how to reach out for support.

Franco, brasileiro radicado no Canadá onde hoje é James McGill Professor do Departamento de Oncologia, que também chefia, e da Epidemiologia e Bioestatística, sendo coordenador da Divisão de Epidemiologia do Câncer da Universidade McGill. Durante os anos 1980, quando trabalhou no Instituto Ludwig de Pesquisa sobre o Câncer (ILPC) em São Paulo, acompanhou mais de 2500 mulheres ao longo de 10 anos e, juntamente com Luisa Villa, demonstrou pela primeira vez a associação entre a infecção persistente por papiloma-vírus humano (HPV) e o câncer de colo de útero, também conhecido como câncer cervical. Deste estudo mundialmente pioneiro resultou intenso debate acerca da necessidade de se vacinar meninas (e a seguir, também meninos) contra o vírus HPV, causador daquele câncer, levando a uma nova percepção de saúde pública, com a implantação da vacinação no Canadá, Brasil e no resto do mundo - até hoje uma das melhores formas de prevenção conhecidas, em que pesem recentes questionamentos ao procedimento que chegaram a resultar na diminuição da cobertura vacinal em vários países. Na contramão de tais polêmicas, sabe-se do crescimento notável no número de casos de câncer de vários tipos na população, e hoje se fala em uma verdadeira "epidemia de câncer" em nível mundial. Apesar do termo "epidemia", neste caso, estar sendo usado de forma coloquial - pois só se pode falar de "epidemia" de doenças infecto-contagiosas - isso não encerra a questão: o que estaria acontecendo, de fato?

Date of Recording: 16/01/2019 Description: At the end of the Cold War, the United States emerged as the world’s most powerful state, and then used that power to initiate wars against smaller countries in the Middle East and South Asia. According to balance‑of‑power theory—the bedrock of realism in international relations—other states should have joined together militarily to counterbalance the U.S.’s rising power. Yet they did not. Nor have they united to oppose Chinese aggression in the South China Sea or Russian offensives along its Western border. This does not mean balance‑of‑power politics is dead, argues renowned international relations scholar T.V. Paul, but that it has taken a different form. Rather than employ familiar strategies such as active military alliances and arms buildups, leading powers have engaged in “soft balancing,” which seeks to restrain threatening powers through the use of international institutions, informal alignments, and economic sanctions. Paul places the evolution of balancing behavior in historical perspective from the post-Napoleonic era to today’s globalized world. “Both critics and proponents of the role of the balance of power in international politics treat it as depending on military instruments. The signal accomplishment of T. V. Paul’s book is to show that there is a much larger set of tools that states can employ to restrain troublemakers.”—Robert Jervis, author of How Statesmen Think "In this sophisticated and sweeping historical survey, T.V. Paul shows how modern states have pursued various types of balancing behavior—short of war—to constrain potential hegemonic powers. Restraining Great Powers is a tour de force that should be carefully read and reflected on by scholars and practitioners alike."—David Shambaugh, George Washington University Biography: T. V. Paul is the James McGill Professor of International Relations at McGill University. He has authored or edited eighteen books, including The Warrior State and The Tradition of Non-Use of Nuclear Weapons. He served as president of the International Studies Association (ISA) during 2016–2017. Paul lives in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Walter Ladwig is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at King’s College London. He is also an Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies and a Non-Resident Fellow of the Center for the Advanced Study of India at the University of Pennsylvania. His book, The Forgotten Front: Patron-Client Relationships in Counterinsurgency was published with Cambridge University Press. Hillary Briffa is currently reading for a doctorate in War Studies at King’s College London, querying whether small states can have a Grand Strategy.
