WINTER ROSE TALES: Part 1   On today's podcast, we have the first three of our Winter Rose Tales. These tales will feature the gardener, their gardens, and what they do to care for their roses in winter.   Elena Williams Suzanne Gilbert Lynn Hunt Elena Williams... a   I enjoyed being an elementary school teacher for 20 years and now I have transferred the experience over to teaching mostly adults about roses. I am the 2022 American Rose Guest Editor, A Master Consulting Rosarian, Horticulture and Arrangement judge and the Pacific NW Assistant District Director.   I have lived in and grown roses in zone 8B for 11 years. It is a maritime climate that stays relatively warm due to the warm influence of Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean.   I am a member of Seattle RS, Tacoma RS, Puyallup RS and my very local Kitsap County Rose Society.    Suzanne Gilbert...   My love of roses started as a young girl growing up in Baltimore, Maryland. I went with my parents to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania and came home with three roses Peace, Tropicana and Chrysler Imperial. After moving to Houston with my family in 1989 I started growing roses more seriously with the help of the Houston Rose Society. I feel that one of the most important factors that I can attribute to growing roses successfully in my area has been the articles in the HRS newsletter, The Rose-Ette and the mentoring I have received from the consulting rosarians when I joined the Society. In 2012 I became a Consulting Rosarian.   I enjoy teaching about growing roses and I have given many presentations to gardening groups in the Houston area. I have served on the board of the Houston Rose Society as the publicity chairperson. I am currently serving as the president of the Houston Rose Society. Besides the satisfaction I receive from growing beautiful roses in my garden, roses have helped my meet and connect with so many wonderful people who have become very special friends.   Lynn Hunt...   I'm not sure when my love of roses started, perhaps before the age of two. My Grandfather had several roses in his Miami garden. I have a photo of me at 14 months stopping to sniff a blossom. Later, one of my neighbors planted a lovely crescent-shaped rose garden in his yard. He was always giving friends a few blooms and I wanted to learn more about how to grow them. So, I joined the Tidewater Rose Society and the ARS in 1979. The rest as they say, is history! I have loved my time as an ARS Consulting rosarian (now Emeritus) and as an accredited Horticultural Judge.  You meet so many wonderful people and make lifelong friends as a rosarian. I have been honored to judge roses in England and Australia, and I served on the permanent panel of the Biltmore International Rose Trials.   I've written about gardening for about three decades in publications from Fine Gardening and Horticulture to my own award-winning blog, The Dirt Diaries.  I've also been blessed to have a wonderful professional career as a writer and broadcast producer. My interest in journalism started early, just like my love of roses. I was interviewing local celebrities at age 9, and snagged an exclusive interview with The Beatles in 1964 when they arrived in Miami to perform on the Ed Sullivan Show. I was 13 at the time, and star reporter of my junior high school newspaper.  Writing, roses, and of course, a wonderful family ... A combo that has made my life very sweet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

It is the fall of 1621. After the show of force at Nemasket, the cementing of relations with Massasoit, and the three day feast we now regard as "the first Thanksgiving," the Pilgrims confront enemies within. The Pilgrims did not yet know it, but for the next year and a half they would battle perfidy, betrayal, and enemies within who would threaten them existentially.  The perfidy would come from Thomas Weston, the same investor who changed the terms of their deal at the last minute back in London, forcing them to sell critical supplies in order to make up for Weston's unfulfilled promises, and a new batch of settlers who would shortly arrive in Plymouth at Weston's behest. The betrayal would come, sad to say, from Tisquantum, who would play both sides against the middle and disrupt the alliance with Massasoit just when it was most important.  Before we do any of that, though, I talk about the topic of presentism, which became a social media kerfuffle in the last week or two following an opinion piece by Professor James Sweet, the current president of the American Historical Association, and his rapid apology after a backlash.

¿Cómo puede la historia ayudar a comprender la reciente pandemia del COVID-19? En el octavo episodio de Clase a la Casa, Tatiana Andia habla con Ana María Otero-Cleves, Catalina Muñóz y Constanza Castro, tres historiadoras de la Universidad de los Andes, y se preguntan ¿para qué sirve la historia hoy? ¿Por qué es tan importante pensar históricamente en medio de la pandemia? La Universidad de los Andes sigue. La emergencia del COVID-19, y la realidad de que no existe una mejor manera de protegernos como sociedades que quedándonos en casa, nos reta como comunidad académica a asegurar nuevas formas de encontrarnos. Hoy tenemos la oportunidad de demostrar que somos una comunidad que trasciende a su campus y que podemos ser una compañía —y una guía necesaria— para estos momentos de incertidumbre. Esto es Clase a la Casa, una continuación virtual de la iniciativa Clase a la Calle que cumple ya cuatro años en su esfuerzo por sacar la academia de los salones de clase. En este Podcast, profesores de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de los Andes conversarán sobre los retos que el COVID-19 nos propone como comunidad. Este es el turno de la ciencias sociales.

We all know Thomas Jefferson’s famous words immortalized in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” But when did the world start thinking about equality? Lynn Hunt a distinguished research professor at UCLA, and author of the book “Inventing Human Rights,” says we haven’t always recognized basic human rights, and the very concept wasn’t spoken much about until the end of the 1700s. We explore its origins.

“The past is never dead. It's not even past.” This week on Innovation Hub, we prove Faulkner right. We’ve got stories about how history still affects all our daily lives, in a myriad of different ways. We start by taking a look at the origin of the debates over human rights. The Declaration of Independence’s second paragraph begins with the immortal phrase: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But when did those rights become self-evident? According to historian Lynn Hunt, the very concept of human rights weren’t really talked about until the 18th century. She explains how the concept began, and why we’re constantly changing our definition of equality. Then, how our own histories of trauma can affect our present health. Vincent Felitti is a doctor whose research has shown that patients who experienced childhood trauma were more likely to be sick when they grew up. He tells us how clinicians can use Adverse Childhood Experience scores to help people get better. And finally, a newspaper that changed America. Journalist and author Ethan Michaeli traces the rise of The Chicago Defender, a legendary black newspaper that began in 1905. From the Great Migration, to the desegregation of the military, to the rise of Barack Obama, we’ll learn how its legacy is still felt in American life. Also, as we promised in the show, here are some of Bobby Sengstacke’s photos. Bobby Sengstacke was a photojournalist and the last Sengstacke to edit The Chicago Defender.

We all know Thomas Jefferson’s famous words immortalized in the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” But when did the world start thinking about equality? Lynn Hunt, a distinguished research professor at UCLA, and author of the book “Inventing Human Rights,” says we haven’t always recognized basic human rights, and the very concept wasn’t spoken much about until the end of the 1700s.

When did the fight for human rights begin? According to Lynn Hunt, the 18th century. And why? One answer is rather unexpected: the rise of the novel. Childhood experiences can drastically affect a person’s health for the rest of their life. We talk to a doctor about what that means for medicine. Science gave us penicillin, the moon landing, and the theory of evolution. But scientists can also make really big mistakes.

Human rights are hotly-debated, but when did that debate begin? UCLA’s Lynn Hunt talks about what might have been the formative moment for human rights - and how we’re constantly changing our definition of equality.

Simone Weil, dans l'Enracinement, ce livre inachevé et sous-titré "Prélude à une déclaration des devoirs envers l'être humain", livre qui lui avait été commandé par André Philip, parle, dans les premières pages, des droits et des devoirs, des droits et des obligations. Elle fait observer que dire des hommes qu'ils ont à la fois des droits et des devoirs est une étrange manière de parler car droits et devoirs ne sont pas deux choses distinctes mais la même chose vue de deux points de vue différents. Et, dit-elle, considéré en lui-même, un homme n'a que des devoirs, alors que les autres, considérés de son point de vue, ont seulement des droits. Si personne ne les reconnaît, si personne ne les respecte, les droits que possède un homme sont vains. C'est comme s'ils n'existaient pas. Ils sont entièrement soumis à l'autre, aux autres et à leur bon vouloir. Les devoirs et obligations, en revanche, qui sont leur pendant subjectif, ne dépendant que de l'individu, ne peuvent être niés ou abolis par les autres. Ils demeurent et me sont attachés. Ils sont, d'une certaine façon, inaliénables, et bien plus que ne le sont mes droits. C'est pour cela que, considérés du point de vue de l'action et de la morale personnelle, les devoirs priment les droits. Je peux toujours réclamer mes droits, demander qu'ils soient satisfaits, protester quand ils sont bafoués et me battre pour qu'ils soient respectés, et j'aurai raison de le faire. Mais tout cela m'échappe ; je n'en suis pas maître. La seule chose que je maîtrise et dont je puisse me sentir entièrement responsable est ma capacité à remplir, pour ce qui me concerne, mes devoirs et obligations. Il ne s'agit évidemment pas, au premier chef, d'obligations vis-à-vis de son maître, du roi ou de la loi. Il s'agit des devoirs fondamentaux envers soi, envers les autres, envers ce tout que Simone Weil appelle Dieu, des obligations que chacun d'entre nous a envers les hommes y compris soi-même en ce qu'ils sont des créatures de Dieu. C'est une approche totalement renversée par rapport à celle des droits de l'homme issus de la Révolution française. Il ne s'agit pas du tout, pour Simone Weil, de dire que les droits de l'homme n'existent pas ou qu'ils ne doivent pas être défendus. Il s'agit de s'inscrire dans une démarche de l'action éthique, de répondre à la question : "que faire, soi-même, pour améliorer les choses, pour rendre le monde meilleur ?". Et à cette question, inscrite dans une telle démarche, Simone Weill répond :  "Faire ce qu'on doit faire en tant qu'homme.". Car c'est la seule chose dont on puisse s'assurer. PS : un trouvera une version complète de l'Enracinement, sous différents formats, sur le site de l'Université du Québec à Chicoutimi. On trouvera sur le site de la BNF une conférence de Patrick Hochart, intitulée Enracinement et déracinement mais essentiellement consacrée à la question de l'obligation chez Simone Weil. On pourra également lire, à ce sujet, L'invention des droits de l'homme, de Lynn Hunt, excellemment traduit de l'anglais par Sylvie Kleiman-Lafon. Enfin, je parle un peu plus de ce thème sur mon autre blog, Aldor.

A lecture by the Humanitas Visiting Professor in Historiography, Lynn Hunt.

This is a review of Inventing Human Rights: A History by Lynn Hunt.

Ferris' book The Science of Liberty: Democracy, Reason, and the Laws of Nature is about the symbiotic relationship between science and liberalism. His liberalism was Lockean. One can do anything but bridge other's rights. Science can only thrive in a liberal environment. And, liberalism needs science for health, wealth and happiness.Lynn Hunt's Inventing Human Rights posits that rights are self evident. Reason made this realization clear. But all of these ideas had to be learned. Novels allowed much of this learning to occur.

A book discussion with author LYNN HUNT, UCLA History, and discussant DAVID KAYE, UCLA Law

Lynn Hunt, UCLA Professor of Modern European History, discusses the genesis of human rights, a concept that only came to the forefront during the eighteenth century. When the American Declaration of Independence declared all men are created equal and the French proclaimed the Declaration of the Rights of Man during their revolution, they were bringing a new guarantee into the world. But why then? How did such a revelation come to pass? Series: "Ethics, Religion and Public Life: Walter H. Capps Center Series" [Public Affairs] [Humanities] [Show ID: 14182]
