Your kids may be off of school today for Lunar New Year. So what is it? Kristin Stapleton, history professor at UB explains.
If you’re a regular listener you may have heard me mention a small group I facilitated last Fall. I offered it as a bonus for those who signed up early for our Next Gen Wellness Training that starts February 13th. We had a group of seven wellness pros and each week, I’d briefly present on a topic and we’d all discuss our thoughts around it and how/if it would work in our organization. It was amazing because all seven people were extremely cool. Everyone spoke their mind but was extremely respectful of each other. When I asked for feedback, one person asked if there was a way to get the message out that there needs to be a shift in wellness. After letting that sink in, I thought why not bring a few of the small group members on the podcast. You guys can hear directly from wellness pros other than me that change is needed. Today’s guests are: Jill Dorris, Sr Health and Performance Consultant at HUB International Insurance Services. Kristin Stapleton, is Executive Director for Paradigm Health and Wellness. Margo W. Riddle is an experienced health and wellness professional who has the ability to work at both the employee and organization levels with multiple credentials in health coaching and workplace wellness. In this interview, each guest starts out telling us what they do and what challenges come with it. They talk about why we need a shift in the wellness industry, what prompted them to take a gamble on the small group plus next gen and what they got out of it. Finally, although our 9-week next gen wellness training doesn’t start until February 13th, the early bird special ends January 31st. That means the price goes from $695 to $895. You can find out more here. I hope you enjoy this interview with Jill, Kristin and Margo!

Twentieth-Century China will join the JHU Press journals collection in 2017.

Kristin Stapleton’s new book opens onto a political crisis in China, and into a spirit of reform touched off by student demonstrations on May 4, 1919. Ba Jin was a teenager from a well-off family in Chengdu during this period. He wrote three popular novels Family, Spring, and Autumn, collectively known as the Turbulent Stream trilogy set in the reformist 1920s and in his hometown of Chengdu. Fact in Fiction: 1920s China and Ba Jin’s Family (Stanford University Press, 2016) focuses on one of them–Family– in order to look carefully at the ways that Chengdu in the May Fourth era inspired Ba Jin’s fiction. Each chapter takes one or more characters in the trilogy as its starting point, and the chapters collectively explore some central themes, including the physical transformation of Chinese cities in the early twentieth century, patriarchy and the Confucian family, militarist politics and Chinese cities in the first decades of the twentieth century, and the effects of revolutions in cultural values and social structure in the early twentieth-century on Chinese families and cities. Stapleton pays careful attention to many different kinds of members of the urban community in 1920s Chengdu: laborers, entrepreneurs, beggars and slaves, merchants, soldiers, students, the foreign community. The result is not only a pleasure to read, but will also be exceptionally useful to teach with! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
