It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Erik Baker, professor of the history of science & labor at Harvard University, to discuss his recent book Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America. Then, she speaks with Teresa Romero, president of the United Farm Workers (UFW), to discuss the Trump administrations's immigration executive orders and directives, and their impact on UFW workers. First, Emma runs through updates on a major plane crash out of DC in the wake of Trump's FAA hiring freeze and gutting of the aviation safety committee, the passage of the Laken Riley Act, Trump's new immigrant detention camp in Gitmo, Trump's myriad anti-migrant EOs, the confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, Meta's $25m gift to Trump, Bob Menendez's prison sentence, and Israel's ongoing assault on Palestinians, before expanding on the context for the major crash outside of Reagan Airport in DC yesterday. Professor Erik Baker then joins, diving right into the history of America's particular work ethic strain of entrepreneurialism, unpacking its rise in the early 20th Century's major job shortage, with unemployment reaching nearly a quarter of the country by the peak of the Great Depression, shifting the dominant ethos from one of hard work to one of creating your own work, and birthing the entrepreneurial spirit that dominates the post-industrialized neoliberal gig-economy of today. Expanding on the evolution of American entrepreneurialism, Professor Baker explores how the rise of this ethos was met with industries eager to exploit it, from the rise of “self-help” and the gig economy to the rise of cryptocurrencies and sports gambling, all encouraging the exploration of alternative, often precarious lines of “work,” wrapping up the interview with a deep dive into how entrepreneurship sees this precarity, and the failures that often result from it, as a validation of the successes, allowing for the spirit to continuously reinvent itself through crisis, personal or economic. Teresa Romero then joins, as she and Emma dive right into the recent threats mailed to various United Farm Workers locations over Trump's incoming wave of deportations, exploring how, over less than two weeks, immigrants – regardless of citizenship – have been overtaken by an environment of fear and insecurity over their (and their family's and community's) safety, with no institution – from school to church to work – safe from ICE's indiscriminate raids. Expanding on this, Romero unpacks the central role undocumented people play in the US farming industry, and the overwhelming exploitation and abuse they face without institutional backing from unions (or, in theory, the government), with growers and employers – despite their obvious reliance on the labor of undocumented folks – eager to take advantage of the increasing insecurity as Trump's reforms come into practice, before they wrap up the free half by unpacking the need to create a genuine path to citizenship for farm workers whose presence is so important to our country. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they unpack Pete Hegseth and Jesse Watters' gleeful discussion of Trump's new 30k capacity migrant detention camp at Guantanamo, and watch RFK's myriad hypocrisies put on display at his confirmation hearing. Dmitri from Germany unpacks the dearth of non-Zionist perspectives on Gaza in Russian media, and Bob Menendez starts his Eric Adams-esque appeal to Trump, plus the MR Crew unpacks the ridiculousness of “MAHA,” and their experience with the inefficiency (and absurdity) of modern policing, plus, your calls and IMs!

In this episode, I was joined by Nicholas Scott Baker to discuss his book, In Fortune's Theater: Financial Risk and the Future in Renaissance Italy (Cambridge University Press, 2021). Professor Baker is an Associate Professor of history at Macquarie University in Sydney Australia interested in the political and economic cultures of early modern Europe and the Mediterranean, with a particular focus on Renaissance Italy. In this fascinating new book, Professor Baker reveals how Renaissance Italians developed a new concept of the future as unknown time-yet-to-come. As In Fortune's Theater makes clear, nearly everyone in Renaissance Italy seemingly had the future on their minds. Authorities in important commercial hubs such as Genoa, Venice, Rome, and Florence legislated against overzealous betting on the future. Merchants filled their commercial correspondence with a lexicon of futurity. Famed painters such as Caravaggio, Giorgio Vasari, and Paolo Veronese manipulated the existing iconography of the figure of Fortuna into a moral allegory about unseized opportunity. And seemingly every important Renaissance Italian intellectual including Petrarch, Dante, Christine de Pizan, Poggio Bracciolini, Leon Battista Alberti, Laura Cereta, Giovanni Pontano, Niccolò Machiavelli, Francesco Guicciardini, and Baldassare Castiglione cared deeply about time-yet-to-come. Baker's book is a rich, multilayered examination of the problems of risk, fortune, and the future in the Renaissance, and it should have broad appeal to anyone interested in the economic and political culture of early modern Europeans. Michael Paul Martoccio is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison specializing in the economic and military historian of the early modern Mediterranean. I am especially interested in how early modern economic practices – consumerism, market culture, and the commercialization of war – shaped notions of sovereignty, territoriality, and political geography.

Epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker warns the country is in the grip of a fourth wave of Covid19. Professor Baker says if we don't act to restrict the spread of the virus, up to 10,000 people could be hospitalised this year - putting our hospitals under intense pressure. Dr Baker joined Ingrid Hipkiss.

Epidemiologist Michael Baker says a drug-resistant fungus that kills about one-third of the people it infects, can be eliminated. Te Whatu Ora has confirmed a person in New Zealand has the Candida auris fungus. The fungus causes persistent fever and chills, and can't be treated with nomal anti-fungul medication. Professor Baker says it's not something the health system needs right now. He spoke to Kim Hill.

This week I interviewed Professor Joe Baker from York University in Toronto Canada. Professor Joe Baker is a leading expert in the field of optimal human development and sport skill development. He currently holds a position in the School of Kinesiology and Health Science at York University. Throughout his career, Professor Baker has dedicated his research to understanding how individuals can reach and maintain the highest levels of performance in various sports. His work considers a wide range of psychosocial and environmental factors that influence athletic skill development, with the goal of cataloguing the numerous factors that affect an athlete's ability to maximize their potential. This research aims to inform the development of stronger policies, the building of better theories and models, and the construction of superior learning environments. Professor Baker's research primarily focuses on two main areas. The first area examines the diverse factors that influence athlete skill development. He is currently studying the development and maintenance of skilled performance in both able-bodied and Paralympic sports, working with leading athlete development systems worldwide to advance our understanding of how individuals reach and maintain high levels of performance. The second area of focus is on notions of 'talent' in sport. Despite its prominence in public discourse, there is a lack of understanding of what the term 'talent' means and how it affects sport programming. Professor Baker's research in this area concentrates on improving decisions made in talent identification and selection settings, working with leaders in high-performance and professional sport to understand the efficiency and effectiveness of various approaches and models to talent evaluation and development. In addition to his work in high-performance sport, Professor Baker also applies models of athlete learning and development to understand how to maximize function and performance in non-elite populations. Specifically, he has examined how Masters Athletes (those over 50 years of age) can inform a deeper understanding of what older adults are capable of achieving in terms of performance.

Epidemiologist Michael Baker says officials should be giving better advice to people on tools they can use to stop the spread of Covid-19. Cases numbers are up about 60% on September weekly averages, with hospitalisations and deaths also increasing. Professor Baker says that's likely down to waning immunity, and an increasingly social populace as summer draws near. Hence he thinks it's time for some clear advice on how to socialise safely. He spoke to Corin Dann.

An epidemiologist is predicting New Zealand's Covid-19 case numbers will rise again over coming months - resulting in increased hospitalisations and deaths. Professor Michael Baker isn't surprised at confirmation yesterday the BA.5 variant has entered Aotearoa via a person from South Africa and he expects it has already spread into the community. He says new variants such as BA.5 are among several factors that will force our Covid-19 numbers upwards this winter. Professor Baker spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Listen as Professor Bakers talks about his work on domestic violence, social justice as well as research on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement on the southern board and the School to the prison pipeline.

Epidemiologist Michael Baker says tough isolation rules around Omicron cases should ease once the outbreak takes hold in the community. Household contacts of a positive case could end up isolating for 24 days. There are warnings this will be unworkable, and severely affect essential workers. Professor Baker told Morning Report that we are still treating omicron like delta and trying to trace cases - and that's appropriate until cases really take off. "That's the right thing to do while numbers are small, that will really delay the take-off of this outbreak. "But later on, when Omicron is everywhere, it's quite reasonable, in fact, it's the right thing to do is to relax the isolation requirements." Baker said for positive cases the shortest he would recommend is around seven days, two days longer than the current five days recommended in the United States.   He said this was because while the incubation period of Omicron is around three days, the tail of infection is reasonably long. The first ones to have shortened isolation times should be those in essential industries, particularly healthcare, he said. "With these essential industries, you have this balancing act. We're trying to stamp out, dampen down transmission, the same time, you have to get these essential workers back, particularly in the healthcare sector. "After all, if a person doesn't have symptoms, they're probably less infectious, they are wearing PPE in the hospital sector. This is what's been done overseas - shortening that isolation period."

An epidemiologist says the reopening of the trans-tasman bubble must be postponed, and any loosening of MIQ protocols reviewed urgently. Keeping the border secure is critical, according to Michael Baker, following the first detection of the Omicron variant in New Zealand - on a passenger who arrived from Germany via Dubai. The person is in a managed isolation facility in Christchurch. Professor Baker spoke to Corin Dann.

With Northland entering level 3, Auckland in level with benefits, and Waikato in level 3 restrictions, University of Otago epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker told Checkpoint there needs to be clarity on what strategy New Zealand is pursuing against Covid-19. “We've actually had very confused messages this week about a number of things, including what comes after elimination, which we seem to be transitioning out of. That hasn't been made clear. “Also how are we going to use the alert level system? Because Auckland is using a stepped approach, they're stepping up. The rest of the country's got alert levels and is stepping down. There's also a version of a traffic light system that's been proposed circulating at the moment. “So I think this week has really been quite poor for clarity of communication and coherence. “The government really has to sort out where we're going. And one of the approaches I think we should look at would actually be a regional approach.” Professor Baker said suppression could be pursued in Auckland while an elimination strategy could work in the South Island.

Alert level 2 looms for the whole country outside of Auckland on Tuesday night, but with extra rules in the face of Covid-19 Delta. Gatherings will be limited to 50 people at indoor venues, and 100 people at outdoor venues. The past 48 hours has seen the number of new community Covid-19 cases slow to 20 a day. But at the moment in Auckland testing rates are less than a third of what they need to be make sure there are not Delta cases going undetected. Otago University Epidemiologist Michael Baker talks to Lisa Owen.

Prof. Baker takes us through the history of the movement against sexual harassment. Governor Cuomo has resigned due, in part, to allegations of sexual harassment by him on about a dozen women. But what does the term sexual harassment mean? According to Professor Baker, its legal definition derives from the intensity and pervasiveness of the harassment. And amazingly, in the last 46 years since the term "sexual harassment" has been coined, the rates of sexual harassment have pretty much remained the same. But progress, however slow, is being made after the me-too moment. Join me in this podcast conversation with Professor Carrie Baker of Smith College, whose research focus is on women's legal history, gender and public policy, and feminist activism. She is the author of The Women's Movement Against Sexual Harassment, a 2008 book, and Sexual Harassment Law, a 2020 book.

It may be freedom day in the England with many celebrating being able to go mask free and an end to social distancing, but it will result in millions of new Covid-19 cases and the highest infection rates in the world according to New Zealand epidemiologist Michael Baker. The decision to lift Covid-19 restrictions in England was made by the Prime Minister Boris Johnson two weeks ago, who said with high vaccination rates and summer in full swing, now is the safest time to remove them. Professor Baker says Britain has fully vaccinated only 55 percent of its population when children are taken into account, and this action could result in new vaccine-resistant variants. He spoke to Kim Hill.

A top epidemiologist is warning the International Olympic Committee will kill people by going ahead with staging the Tokyo Games. Otago Univeristy's Professor Michael Baker says while safety procedures during the Olympics will be strict and athletes will generally be safe, the Games will ultimately come at a cost. Professor Baker told sports editor Stephen Hewson that athletes from poorer nations may have been vaccinated against Covid-19 at the expense of vulnerable people in their home countries, and deaths will result.

The National Party wants tougher border restrictions to protect the country from the new variant of Covid-19 which is thought to be more transmissible. It's been blamed for parts of England being under Tier 4 lockdown for Christmas. The Ministry of Health says while it is discussing what this variant will mean for New Zealand's Covid-19 response, it is confident the current use of PPE, testing strategy and 14 day managed isolation for all arrivals is appropriate. Top epidemiologist Michael Baker, warns the variant from the UK, will arrive at the New Zealand border in just a few weeks. He has been calling for a traffic light system at the border for higher risk countries and pre-departure testing. National's Covid-19 Response spokesperson Chris Bishop told reporter Kate Gregan he agrees with Professor Baker.

On November 30, 2020 the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Trump v. New York. The first legal question before the Court was whether a group of states and local governments have standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge a July 21, 2020, memorandum by President Donald Trump instructing the secretary of commerce to include in his report on the 2020 census information enabling the president to exclude noncitizens from the base population number for purposes of apportioning seats in the House of Representatives. The second legal question before the court was whether the memorandum is a permissible exercise of the president’s discretion under the provisions of law governing congressional apportionment. Professor John S. Baker joins us today to discuss this case’s oral argument. Professor Baker is Professor Emeritus at Lousiana State University's Paul M. Hebert Law Center.

It won't be known for several more days whether the level three lockdown in Auckland has done enough to prevent the spread of Covid-19. That's the view of Otago University epidemiologist Michael Baker. There were nine new cases in the community yesterday, and 13 the day before. Professor Baker said the current numbers are only showing what happened just before or in the first few days after Auckland went into lockdown, and time will tell if it will need to be extended and how much by. But at the moment things are looking good. "This is looking like we will get this under control," he told Morning Report. "And of course, we can control a cluster and we can eliminate this disease again."

Co-lead of the meteorology team on the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Extreme Expedition and professor in the Department of Geography at Appalachian State University, Baker Perry, joins the show to discuss his fascinating and truly unique work. Tune in to discover: How the recently-installed weather stations on Mt. Everest are filling a critical role in climber safety  What has been learned about the intensity of solar radiation on the mountain and why this is important for projected glacier changes and current models used to make those projections Which new insight gained from the implementation of these weather stations might explain the incidence of climber disappearance on Mt. Everest How the data sets from these stations can take viewers on a virtual reality trip into the glacier for an immersive, once-in-a-lifetime experience On Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 10pm ET on National Geographic, you can watch the television premier of Expedition Everest, an unprecedented journey that resulted in the installation of the world's highest weather stations and the collection of the highest ice core known to man.     Baker Perry shares firsthand experience as co-lead of this incredible mission, offering you a glimpse of what it would be like to make the climb yourself. By virtue of Perry and the rest of the expedition team, real-time weather data from the mountain and past and future projections of glacier change is now possible. This not only changes the game for climbing safety, but paves the way for significant improvements to forecast and glacier change models, as well as a better understanding of how the climate is changing. Perry explains the reasoning behind the placements of the weather stations, the challenges encountered as they gained elevation, what types of equipment and instrumentation were used, and so much more.

This week we spoke to Stephen Baker, Professor of Molecular Microbiology at the University of Cambridge. His laboratory was one of the first academic labs converted to a COVID-19 screening lab, now carrying out validated rapid testing of staff at Cambridge's Addenbrooke's Hospital. Remarkably, the lab was set up and running in under 2 weeks. We speak to him about how he set his lab up for COVID-19 testing, discuss the differences between PCR and antibody tests, the current challenges to to achieving mass testing capacity, and the role that academic labs can play in speeding up that process.

Music has this unique ability to connect with emotion, and with memory, so they're very intricately linked, says Professor Felicity Baker, Head of Music Therapy and Director of the International Research Partnerships for the Creative Arts and Music Therapy Research Unit at the University of Melbourne. “When you hear a piece of music and then the memories become evoked as a result of that, the neural network is activated, and it also then leads to the activation of more positive moods.” Professor Baker studies how music, especially singing and songwriting, can be used to treat people with a range of conditions – from young people with traumatic brain injuries to adults with substance abuse issues and, especially, people with dementia. “We're actually showing the family carers how to use music in really strategic ways to support the care of the person that they're looking after. But we're also interested in preserving the relationship between the carer and the person that they're caring for,” Professor Baker says. “So, using music in a way that helps to bring that person to the present.” Special thanks to the Dandenong Ranges Music Council, Caladenia Dementia Care, Melbourne, the Musical Memories Choir from the Continuing Care Clinical Service Unit, Austin Hospital, Melbourne, Judy and John Kearney, Sue Mountain and Betty Hamilton.

Nation-states have long fought wars for control of oil. In a novel development, American states are now fighting a war over control of oil—not with one state attempting to take oil from another, but with some states attempting to deny its use to other states. In 2015, New York’s Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, began an investigation of ExxonMobil. Then, at a news conference held in New York City on March 29, 2016, Schneiderman said that he and a group of other attorneys general were looking at “creative legal theories” to bring about “the beginning of the end of our addiction to fossil fuel.” The group is comprised of seventeen attorneys general, representing fifteen states, the District of Columbia, and one territory. Opposing these attorneys general from mostly “blue states” are attorneys general from twenty-seven mostly “red states.” Professor Baker joined us to discuss his article: "Warning to Corporate Counsel: If State AGs Can Do This to ExxonMobil, How Safe Is Your Company?" -- Featuring: Prof. John S. Baker, Jr., Ph.D., Visiting Professor, Georgetown University Law Center & Professor Emeritus, Louisiana State University Law Center.

The improv stylings of Jazz musician Andy Baker influenced our conversation in many ways and informed my understanding of how a veteran trombonist, composer and arranger was able to find success by "goin' with the flow". In this episode we take a trip down memory lane.
