Peek behind the veil of condo ownership with esteemed guest, Professor Doug Harris. Together, Aaron and Professor Harris traverse through the evolution of condo ownership, from its 1960s beginnings to its modern-day role in urban living. Their conversation dives into the unique dynamics of condo living, exploring landlord-tenant relationships, co-ops, detached parcels, and the intricate legalities such as residential tenancy laws and strata corporation governance. They also examine the challenges municipalities face in providing rental housing, consumer protection in multi-unit developments, smoking rules,  and Doug's call for thoughtful housing policy.Douglas Harris, a professor at the Allard School of Law since 2001, has significantly contributed to property law and legal history, authoring award-winning books on Indigenous fisheries in British Columbia. After his call to the British Columbia bar in 1994 and playing in Canada's Olympic field hockey team, he pursued further education, earning LLM and PhD degrees in legal history, and later served in various administrative roles at UBC, receiving teaching awards. Currently, he's focusing on condominium property law, co-authoring a leading Canadian property law casebook, and fostering collaboration on law and cities through the Law & Cities Research Group.Support the showwww.biggerthanmepodcast.com

Dead cats and genealogy might seem like an odd mix. But when it comes to genealogical consciousness, they actually make perfect sense. BYU professor Amy Harris puts this into perspective by explaining that as a child, she would mourn the passing of her pet cats. But then she found peace when she realized that all “relationships are durable and meaningful—even beyond death.” This got us thinking—if we can feel connected to cherished but long deceased pets, shouldn't our feelings about our ancestors run just as deep? In this episode, hosts Miya Jensen and Michelle Thorley discuss with Professor Harris how we can ensure our relationships with our ancestors stretch into the past as well as the future through genealogical consciousness.

A single fertilised egg generates an embryo. Different cell types in this embryo develop into various organs of a new human being, including a new human brain. Everything starts with a single fertilised egg, and in the embryo, some embryonic cells develop into neural stem cells that construct the brain. By the time a baby is born, its brain is already made up of billions of precisely designed neurons that are connected by trillions of synapses to form a small, compact but incredibly powerful supercomputer. In his recent book “Zero to Birth: How the Human Brain Is Built” pioneering experimental neurobiologist professor William Harris takes the reader on an incredible journey to the very edge of creation, from the moment an egg is fertilised to every stage of a human brain's development in the womb — and even a bit beyond. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Professor William Harris the process of how the brain is built. William Harris is professor emeritus of anatomy at the University of Cambridge. He is the coauthor of Development of the Nervous System and Genetic Neurobiology and the co-editor of Retinal Development. He is a fellow of the Royal Society. We begin by examining the evolutionary history of the brain, which spans billions of years and in the Proterozoic eon, when multicellular animals first descended from single-celled organisms, and then we discuss how the development of a fetal brain over the course of nine months reflects the brain's evolution through the ages. We discuss the emergence of first neural stem cells and how the formation of the neural plate and then its progress to the neural tube give the first glimpses of the development of the brain in an embryo. We discuss in detail how cells divide and create neural stem cells and then how these stem cells start producing neurons. A fascinating topic that we then cover is how individual neurons form connections with other neurons. Professor Harris explains how comparative animal studies have been crucial to understanding what makes a human brain human, and how advances in science are assisting us in understanding many qualities that don't manifest until later in life. This has been a fascinating discussion on an intriguing topic.

In this episode, I examine the case that placed the first restrictions on the First Amendment - more specifically, the freedom of speech: Schenck v. United States. I talk with Stewart Harris, Ph.D., of Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee, about the Schenck precedent, the First Amendment -and how its limits get complicated (i.e., Trump, January 6) - and how the Court views speech today. Professor Harris also had a podcast, which ran for ten years, ceasing during the pandemic. Check it out here!

2021.11.08 – 0312 – The Downward Circumflex Intonation Within A Word This is, unsurprisingly, a word said in a higher pitch followed by a lower one, and as you might expect often signifies closure, certainty, finality – and is what we often use at the end of a sentence, as well as:· Usually for straight questions expecting more straight answers – “Is the team playing today or tomorrow?” / “Tomorrow.”· “What will Professor Harris say?” · “Why is she so upset?” · “Why are you complaining?” · “Where could you send the students?” · “Who knows what he did?” So, in natural spoken English, we are brought up to understand that a downward inflection suggests the combined attributes of credibility and closure. I was recently helping my goddaughter Corey and her boyfriend Dan move house. Because I could only give them til 2 that afternoon before I was due at another engagement, I was given a specific task of cleaning the kitchen cupboards and stocking them with crockery, cutlery and cookware. Nearing the end of this time I said: “Right, I think I'm done here”. Say that sentence with an upward inflection and it suggests some doubt in whether I had finished to their satisfaction, or maybe that I had a few more minutes in which I could do something else for them. With a downward inflection it says the opposite: that I know I have finished, I have run out of time and am unable to do anything else. It sends a ‘tonal signal' to the listener of the underlying intent of the actual words and is used, for example, to avoid explanation or confrontation. In presentation situations, a newsreader's inflection will go down at the end of a story to signify not only that the item has come to an end, but also the credibility of what has just been said. We tend to go down to signify being emphatic, when saying a statement or command or exclamation.· “I've got to go to work”· “That's wonderful”· “Put that down!”Audio recording script and show notes (c) 2021 Peter Stewart Through these around-5-minute episodes, you can build your confidence and competence with advice on breathing and reading, inflection andprojection, the roles played by better scripting and better sitting, mic techniques and voice care tips... with exercises and anecdotes from a careerspent in TV and radio studios.

The fast fashion industry stands accused of depleting natural resources, creating vast carbon emissions and producing endless garments destined for landfill. So, what can be done? Researchers across creative and scientific disciplines have been looking at how the fashion industry can cut waste, recycle, consume less – and, critically, change our attitudes to what we wear. Eleanor Rosamund Barraclough talks to Professor Jane Harris and Professor Simon McQueen Mason about how we can change clothes production and curb our shopping habits. Professor Jane Harris is Director of Research and Innovation (Stratford) and Professor of Digital Design and Innovation at the University of the Arts London. She has over 25 years' experience in transdisciplinary research, with a background in textile design and extensive experience of computer graphic imaging. Through her research, Professor Harris has devised novel approaches to the digital representation of dress and textiles. She is also Director of the Business of Fashion, Textiles and Technology (BFTT), a five-year industry-led project, funded by the Industrial Strategy through the Arts and Humanities Research Council and part of the Creative Industries Cluster Programme. The project, which delivers sustainable innovation within the entire fashion and textile supply chain, aims to create a new business culture that supports fashion, textiles and technology businesses of all sizes to use R&D to grow. Its focus on sustainability centres around sustainable design and business practice, material usage, and new methods of manufacturing. You can read more about the project here: https://bftt.org.uk/ and its recent report co-authored by here: https://bftt.org.uk/publications/ Professor Simon McQueen-Mason is Chair in Materials Biology at the University of York. His research encompasses various aspects of plant cell wall biology. He is a member of the UKRI-funded Textiles Circularity Centre (Royal College of Art, RCA) and its Materials Circularity Research Strand where his work plays a critical role in helping to establish new processes for using biotechnology to convert household waste and used textiles into new, functional and regenerative textiles designed for circularity. His research makes use of waste cellulose to create textile fibres, which are sent from the University of York to the University of Cranfield where they are spun to make new textiles. These textiles are then sent to the Royal College of Art for the students to design and make new clothing with.

Issues regarding race and racial identity as well as questions pertaining to property rights and ownership have been prominent in much public discourse in the United States. In this article, Professor Harris contributes to this discussion by positing that racial identity and property are deeply interrelated concepts. Professor Harris examines how whiteness, initially constructed as a form of racial identity, evolved into a form of property, historically and presently acknowledged and protected in American law. Professor Harris traces the origins of whiteness as property in the parallel systems of domination of Black and Native American peoples out of which were created racially contingent forms of property and property rights. Following the period of slavery and conquest, whiteness became the basis of racialized privilege - a type of status in which white racial identity provided the basis for allocating societal benefits both private and public in character. These arrangements were ratified and legitimated in law as a type of status property. Even as legal segregation was overturned, whiteness as property continued to serve as a barrier to effective change as the system of racial classification operated to protect entrenched power. Next, Professor Harris examines how the concept of whiteness as property persists in current perceptions of racial identity, in the law's misperception of group identity and in the Court's reasoning and decisions in the arena of affirmative action. Professor Harris concludes by arguing that distortions in affirmative action doctrine can only be addressed by confronting and exposing the property interest in whiteness and by acknowledging the distributive justification and function of affirmative action as central to that task.

The role of journalism as a non-partisan checkpoint has been largely called into question during the rise of social media and accusations of fake news, with conversations often curving back to the question of, “Who gets to own the truth?” Professor Frank Harris, III, joins us this week to discuss how this criticism is affecting conversations on diversity, and the ability of news media to be seen as arbiters of objective truth. We'll also explore the role of higher education at this intersection and to best serve our students.

But some health care professionals insist that another ethical concept trumps the Goldwater Rule: the duty to warn others if a patient is a threat.  The “patient” in question is Donald Trump, and these professionals have decided to warn the world that he is dangerously mentally ill. They’ve even written a book: Rocket Man: Nuclear Madness and the Mind of Donald Trump. We hear from both sides on this contentious issue: Dr. Charles Dike of Yale, who defends the Goldwater Rule, and Dr. John Gartner, who taught for many years at Johns Hopkins, and who is one of the founders of the group Duty to Warn."

Everyone, it seems, has an opinion on immigration. The problem is that those opinions are often diametrically opposed. Enter Stewart's colleague at Lincoln Memorial University’s Law School, Akram Faizer. Akram recently published an intriguing article in the Tennessee Law Review in which he suggests that conservatives and liberals might be able to agree on a policy employed by other nations: a much-expanded guest-worker and asylum program -- without a path to either permanent residency or naturalization.  But what about that pesky Fourteenth Amendment? Could guest workers effectively waive the rights of their unborn children to citizenship? Congress could certainly pass a law to that effect, but it would certainly be challenged. No doubt some children of guest workers would eventually object to the denial of what they would consider their constitutional birthright.

Professor Pat Baker of the University of Tennessee at Martin has noticed something troubling about small private colleges.  They’re closing down.  At an alarming rate.  Why is this?  And is there anything we can do about it?  Well, it turns out that the courts haven’t been very helpful, for a couple of very constitutional reasons."

 Is it time to stock up on bottled water and toilet paper?  Or is the situation on our southern border something less than a real emergency? Our guest is Andrew Boyle, who works in the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice.  He and Stewart have an enlightening conversation that starts at the very beginning:  What, precisely, constitutes a “national emergency?”  Who gets to declare one?  And what happens then? Specifically, can Donald Trump use the powers granted to the Executive during the current national emergency to build his wall?  He’ll face a fair amount of resistance, and Andrew and Stewart consider the various forms it will likely take."

Abraham Lincoln saw us through the greatest constitutional crisis in our history. But he was more than 50 years old when he became our President. How did he spend the first half-century of his life? Mostly, he practiced law.

"We all learned in grade school that Abraham Lincoln “saved the Union.” But, in saving our nation, did he destroy our Constitution? He did some pretty extreme things, after all, from suspending habeas corpus to signing the Emancipation Proclamation. Were his actions constitutionally justified, or not?

Gerald McMurtry Lecture at Lincoln Memorial University’s Duncan School of Law."  Your Weekly Constitutional is hosted by Constitutional Law Professor Stewart Harris.

For this edition of Ask a Feminist, Amy Farrell talks to Angela P. Harris—Distinguished Professor of Law, Boochever and Bird Endowed Chair for the Study and Teaching of Freedom of Equality, and Director of the Aoki Center for Critical Race and Nation Studies at the University of California Davis—about violence and the consequences of state efforts to control violence through criminalization.This conversation is particularly timely as political dialogue in the United States has shifted dramatically toward “law and order” approaches to solving community problems in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. Professor Harris’s scholarship provides the theoretical underpinning for alternative approaches to violence prevention such as restorative justice.

Professor Ian Harris - Despite the great intentions of surgeons, thousands of surgical procedures may be unnecessary, with some operations doing more harm than good. That’s according to Professor Ian Harris, who’s written a book on the subject titled ‘Surgery, The Ultimate Placebo’. In many cases, he argues, there is little or no evidence that performing an operation is better than doing nothing. Professor Harris explains why there is an over-estimation of the benefits of surgery and an under-estimation of the potential harm. Prof Ian Harris will be presenting the GJ Royal Memorial Lecture on Surgery as a Placebo at the Victorian Annual Surgical Meeting in Melbourne on Saturday 22 October.

It’s been over six months since Associate Justice Antonin Scalia passed away, yet still his chair on the Supreme Court bench is empty. Is the Senate’s refusal to consider a successor constitutional? What are the implications for the Court? For the Constitution?

"Have you ever read the Declaration of Independence? Not just the “all men are created equal” stuff - have you read the whole thing? If you have, then you know that most of the Declaration is simply a list of complaints, bad things that the colonists said that the king was doing. And perhaps you’ve noticed that one of those complaints accused King George III of encouraging “domestic insurrections?” Really? What insurrections? And by whom? Rob Parkinson of Binghamton University will tell us all about it."  Your Weekly Constitutional is hosted by Constitutional Law Professor Stewart Harris.

"There are lots of bad guys out there. And lots of people who could be bad guys. And other guys . . . well, we're not so sure about them. But can the President simply make a list, sit down in his big chair in the Oval Office, and decide which of these alleged bad guys to kill? We speak with David Adler, the Director of the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University, an expert on presidential power. David takes us on a fascinating journey, concentrating on the way executive power has dramatically increased during and after the Cold War, and especially after 9/11. You'll want to listen to this one. In the meantime, don't make the President mad."  Your Weekly Constitutional is hosted by Constitutional Law Professor Stewart Harris.

The 2012 Founder's Lecture on Imagination and Testimony: Trusting What You're Told delivered by Professor Paul Harris, Harvard University, Emeritus Fellow and formerly Tutor in Experimental Psychology at St John's. The lecture took place on Thursday 10 May. Experimental work in psychology has traditionally focused on our capacity to observe and remember reality in a more or less veridical fashion. But recent research in developmental psychology has increasingly begun to analyze our human ability to set reality aside and to think about unobservable or fictional possibilities. Professor Harris will describe how this imaginative capacity emerges in early childhood, the key role that it plays in learning from what other people say and do, and its larger impact on our trust in historical, scientific and religious claims.

The universe beyond the Earth has been an increasingly more astonishing place ever since Galileo's first discoveries with the telescope 400 years ago. Now, we are trying to understand a flood of revolutionary concepts such as hundreds of planets discovered around nearby stars and the chance of finding life elsewhere; dark matter around galaxies everywhere; vast amounts of shadowy "dark energy" throughout all of space; or giant black holes at the centers of galaxies. How did we get here? What does it mean? People as far back as Galileo's time have faced exactly the same questions about the outside world that we do now, and their reactions are as fascinating as the discoveries themselves. Bill Harris is a native of western Canada and did his graduate studies in astronomy at the University of Toronto, finishing in 1974. Since 1976 he has been a faculty member at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada teaching and doing research. He was elected as a Fellow of the the Royal Society of Canada in 2004 and currently holds a Canadian national Killam Research Fellowship. He has spent most of his research career studying the very oldest types of stars in the universe: the globular star clusters and the stars in the outer halos of giant galaxies. He has published more than 160 research papers on these subjects and works with colleagues all over the world, especially Europe, Chile, the USA, and Australia.Professor Harris was invited to Swinburne under the Board of Research Visiting Professor Grant Scheme, and this lecture was presented as part of the PVC(R) Visiting Professor Lecture Series

Symmetry or parity is intriguing, not only in the arts and music, but also in science and the natural world. Interestingly, parity may not be conserved between the mirror images of molecules and consequently their energies would not be equivalent. On this program, Professor Harris and Gina discussed how parity violation could be observed using sum frequency generation experiments.
