We're speaking with Professor Anna Peterson (Religion, University of Florida). She received her PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School and her AB from the University of California at Berkeley. Her research focuses on religion and social change, especially in Latin America; environmental and social ethics; and animal studies. Professor Peterson has decades of experience in something that is rare among humanities scholars: collaborative writing. What are the benefits and drawbacks of co-authored publications? We talk about why and when scholars might choose to collaborate with academics from other disciplines, as well as how a professor or a graduate student might signal interest in collaborative work.

Episode 28 features a conversation with CARLA L. PETERSON, author of the 2011 book “Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City.” Professor Peterson's book served as a resource for the creation of the characters, story, and the Black community in HBO's THE GILDED AGE. Part detective tale, part social and cultural narrative, "Black Gotham" is Carla Peterson's riveting account of her quest to reconstruct the lives of her nineteenth-century ancestors. As she shares their stories and those of their friends, neighbors, and business associates, she illuminates the greater history of African-American elites in New York City. (Source: Yale University Press) Carla L. Peterson is professor emerita in the Department of English at the University of Maryland, College Park, and a specialist in nineteenth-century African American literary and cultural studies. In addition to "Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City" (published in 2011) she has published numerous essays and a second book "Doers of the Word: African-American Women Speakers and Writers in the North, 1830-1880" (1995).

Have you ever wondered: what exactly makes me a person? We'd never questioned this before we came in contact with Professor Peterson, who introduced the concept of personhood to us. Not until June 24, 2022, when Roe Vs. Wade was overturned, did we start to realize how the concept of personhood lays the groundwork for debate about women's and fetus rights, and its significance to this country in this time period. We felt that it would be the perfect time to produce and release this episode.

Professor Peterson, who served at the CFPB under former Director Cordray, shares his perspective on the CFPB's publicly-announced enforcement activities and initiatives under Director Chopra and what they might signal for future enforcement and supervisory activities. The matters discussed include the UDAAP implications of the CFPB's focus on pricing in its enforcement action against JPay, the CFPB's use of UDAAP to challenge discrimination not involving credit, and the CFPB's junk fees initiative and approach to technology. We also discuss the current status of federal and state rate cap legislation and “true lender” challenges to bank/nonbank partnerships. Alan Kaplinsky, Ballard Spahr Senior Counsel, hosts the conversation.

Academy Award & Golden Globe winner, George Chakiris, is perhaps best known internationally for his role of Bernardo in West Side Story. In Nov of 2012, Chakiris received what many refer to as the highest honor in Hollywood - His Hand & Foot Prints were placed in cement for all history in connection with the 50th anniversary of classic film West Side Story which premiered at Grauman's over 50 years ago.  George Chakiris was born in Norwood, Ohio. He is the son of Steven and Zoe Chakiris. They were immigrants from Greece.  A graduate of the American School of Dance, Chakiris recalls the early days of passing the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, "where the worlds most glamorous people were seen," never thinking that one day he would be attending his own premiere for "Westside Story" (For which he received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award) and eventually, in Dec, 2011, would have his hand and foot prints placed in the famous forecourt, among those whom he had idolized. In 1947, Chakiris made his film debut in the chorus of Song of Love. Later he appeared in several small roles, usually as a dancer or a member of the chorus in various musical films. He was one of the dancers in Marilyn Monroe's "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes released in 1953. He again appeared as a dancer alongside Rosemary Clooney in "White Christmas" in "Love, You Didn't Do Right by Me." In 1961, George's biggest success came with the film West Side Story, for which he won the Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Bernardo, leader of the Sharks.  He had also appeared as Riff, leader of the Jets, in the West End in London. He starred as a doctor in the film Diamond Head released in 1963, opposite Charlton Heston and Yvette Mimieux, and in 1967, he appeared alongside Gene Kelly in Jacques Demy's French musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort. Besides films, Chakiris performed on Broadway and for television. In the early 1960s, he embarked on a career as a pop singer, resulting in a couple of minor hit songs. In 1960, he recorded one single with noted producer Joe Meek. George worked more in television in the 1970s and 1980s, appearing on such shows as Wonder Woman, Medical Center, Hawaii Five-O, Dallas, Murder, She Wrote and the TV daytime drama Santa Barbara In Superboy, he appeared as Professor Peterson during the series first two seasons from 1988-1990. Chakiris's last role to date was in a 1996 episode of the sitcom Last of the Summer Wine. FROM THE SILVER SCREEN TO STERLING SILVER -  George Chakiris, parlayed his talent from the Silver Screen to Sterling Silver Jewelry, featuring necklaces, bracelets, earrings, dramatic belts and more.  Many of his designs have been inspired by colleagues such as Marilyn Monroe and Rosemarie Clooney, whom he had the privelege of dancing with, in "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds" and "White Christmas" respectfully.  Living a life with passion for the creative arts drew George quite by chance to jewelry making as a hobby. What began as a diversion became a full time appreciation for design and construction and a new creative outlet, which became The George Chakiris Collections.   Chakiris recently unveiled his latest collection in Japan.  The George Chakiris collections are now on display at Tokyo's prestigious Mitsukoshi Department Store as well as in America online at his georgechakiris.com. Among those artists seen on red carpets and national interviews such as The Today Show and CNN wearing George's accessory creations are Morgan Fairchild, Rita Moreno, Tippi Hedren, Loni Anderson, Carol Channing, Donna Mills, Romi Dames, Phyllis Diller, Alison Arngrim, Mary McDonough, Michael Learned and Judy Norton.

First, were going on a trip, on a three-hour tour, to be exact. Or at least thats what Andy is singing about.

And without his abilities, how will he get them off “Nightmare Island”. And then were going into the lab with Professor Peterson, but this time things are going to go seriously wrong. The good professor is messing around with a duplicator ray and as one would expect, it hits Superboy. And it creates a duplicate Superboy. Is it dangerous? One thing we do know is that it am “Bizarro … The Thing of Steel”. Next time: We will finish the Bizarro storyline with “The Battle with Bizarro” and then have our second encounter with Mr. Mxyzptlk in “Mr. and Mrs. Superboy”.Feedback for this show can be sent to: manofscreen@gmail.comCheck out the homepage for the show.

In this lecture, Professor Peterson discusses uncertainty or anomaly. We frame the world -- or the world reveals itself to us -- as a story, with a starting point, a destination, and the behavioral means to move from one to the other. The destination is valued more highly than the starting point, and constitutes the point of the story -- the aim of the individual. Reality manifests itself within that story as what is relevant for forward movement, what gets in the way, and what is irrelevant and can be safely ignored. The largest category, by far, is the latter. Unfortunately, sometimes what has been happily classified as irrelevant rears up and gets in the way. That's a manifestation of chaos. Chaos can undermine the story, or break the frame. The degree of undermining or breakage is proportional to the time and space over which the story in question extends its operations.

We’re joined this week by Yale history professor Mark Peterson to talk about his new book The City State of Boston: The Rise and Fall of an Atlantic Power, 1630-1865. In the interview, Professor Peterson will tell us why he believes that, from its settlement a century and a half before the US Constitutional government was founded until the end of the US Civil War, Boston had a political, economic, and social identity completely independent from the rest of what is now the United States. He’ll also tell us surprising stories about money in early Boston, a French-born British army officer who embodied Boston’s relationship with Acadia, and what it meant for Boston to be a slave society where the enslaved people were kept out of sight.

In this episode, Kristen Ghodsee's teenage daughter returns to discuss some recent comments by a Canadian psychology professor who believes that women should embrace the "adventure of motherhood," even if it requires great sacrifice and ends in pain and suffering. This A.K. 47 episode is a relevant reflection on the ongoing reading of Alexandra Kollontai's essay, "The Social Basis of the Woman Question," because Kollontai's specific goals with the essay were to think about how the state could help emancipate women by socializing some of the work of motherhood. Professor Peterson seems to suggest that it is women's "moral obligation" to bring children into the world without any social supports, and that this is part of the adventure of motherhood. This episode was also a lot of fun to record, and includes some tangential silliness. Mentioned in this episode are Natalie Wynn's Contrapoints videos over on Youtube.The intro/outro music is a Russian version of The Internationale.More info about the host can be found at: www.kristenghodsee.com

Darrell Castle talks about how 21st century America has replaced God with a new globalist collective. Transcription / Notes THE GLOBAL COLLECTIVE—OUR NEW GOD Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, May 4, 2018, and on today's Report I will be talking about or at least asking the question, “has the globalist collective state” replaced God in the lives of 21st century Americans and Europeans? In a recent lecture at the University of Toronto, Professor Jordan Peterson reflected on the statement by Friedrich Nietzsche that “God is dead.”  Nietzsche's exact words were “God is dead.  God remains dead.  And we have killed him.  How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?  What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us?  What water is there for us to clean ourselves?  What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent?  Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us?  Must we ourselves not become gods to appear worthy of it?” Professor Peterson explains that rather than a triumphal statement, as is usually presumed, Nietzsche is really saying with his “God is dead” statement, which he made in about 1870, that we in the West no longer believe in God.  Upon the belief in God, the belief in divinity, the belief in the Divine hangs all Western morality and the entire basis for Western order in society.  His statement then was a lament rather than triumphal. He thought that all hell would soon break loose without a belief in the Divine to give order and meaning to society.  How right he turned out to be about the 20th century.  Divinity was the total moral compass upon which society rested and the scientists, university professors, intellectuals and politicians of the day destroyed it.  Professor Peterson pointed out that Nietzsche saw the entire paradigm of morality on the chopping block and the result was hundreds of millions of deaths that almost destroyed the world. Don't worry though we have found a replacement for what Karl Marx called “the opiate of the masses.”  We here in the West have made an exchange since the intellectuals convinced us that we simply had to abandon, to give up God.  Oh, they knew that power abhors a vacuum so they had a quick replacement all ready for us. We have not only accepted the government in exchange for God, we have allowed and even demanded that the government take God's rightful place in the control of traditional families and community institutions.  For centuries the church was one of the most important safety nets for communities but no more.  Warm personal institutions and people are replaced by the cold government bureaucracies.  I spend a lot of time with clients explaining to them that the system is cold and impersonal, and that it is impersonal because the system doesn't even know who you are.  To the system, people who were formerly viewed as created in the image of God are now just numbers, not neighbors and friends.  To find someone who cares, the person at the mercy of the system must rely on his law firm and pray – no excuse me, hope, that at least his lawyer cares. The more people get what they need from government, in the way of health care, education, a job, income, a home, the less likely they are to rely on religion or God for their sustenance.  So in this model people are provided help not from the charity of neighbors and friends but from the forced redistribution of the fruits of the collective's labor.  The church was also the anchor for strong neighborhoods and strong social ties and now that is gone as well as it all is absorbed into our new globalist multicultural world.  Millions of strangers living together in the loneliest places on earth, our cities; this is the new model that has been created for us.  The God of community and neighbor is replaced by the God of “everything should be free.

On this episode of The Renegade Report Roman and Jonathan are joined by Canadian clinical psychologist and tenured professor at the University of Toronto, Jordan Peterson. Professor Peterson gives insight into the great ideological war between the theory of Marxism as contrasted to Western values. This leads into a discussion regarding the breakdown of freedoms on academic campuses and the very real danger that Postmodernists pose to our way of life. Jonathan questions the "power hierarchy" theory and Roman probes into Professor Peterson's notion of what gives life meaning and why nihilism is a road to nowhere.

The University of Toronto's Jordan Peterson became notorious practically overnight for refusing to buckle under pressure to use "gender-neutral" pronouns with people of different "gender identities." Professor Peterson argues that claims of the existence dozens of gender identities have no scientific basis, and should certainly not be used to intimidate dissidents.

When Canada began passing laws that limited what Professor Peterson could say in the name of political correctness, he felt compelled to speak out. And so, in three YouTube videos, he laid out his case for why he would not be complying with the law…in the most reasonable and Canadian way possible. Professor Peterson is a practicing and research psychologist at the University of Toronto and like countless other campuses the University of Toronto has become a place full of people who are going full Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. In fact, a tiny fraction of individuals have decided that there aren't just two gender identities or even three but up to seventy...and they all have different pronouns they want to be addressed by. The reality is that any policy or set of behaviors comes at a cost. Competing goods must be weighed against each other. Words are tools for communication and having seventy sets of pronouns makes communication clumsy. What's more important? Protecting the weak is great but setting off a witch hunt that potentially takes psychologists like Jordan B. Peterson out of working with patients does potentially greater harm. Which is more important? In practice though, the behavior on college campuses is just as listener @TWestGate put it the ouroboros. It is the snake eating its own tail. What is the final result of an academic culture that believes in human reason and is massively atomistic? It's a culture so obsessed with individuality that any weird thought that wanders across a person's brain has to be treated seriously, especially when the person is claiming historical oppression. The sad truth is that Social Justice Warriors aren't bad students. They're great students who have just taken academia's cultural biases to the end of the line. Everyone is now a special snowflake and any claim you make about yourself has to be treated seriously. In the end though, there is further insanity coming such as otherkin. These are humans who believe they're not humans. Instead, they believe they are vampires or werewolves or fairies or wolf-dog hybrids. These even more special individuals want their unique identity recognized too!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the snake is eating its own tail. At a certain point though, it just becomes too much. People like Jordan B Peterson can't put up with it anymore. As Bryan points out, alumni are refusing to donate. And, increasingly, people are wondering why anyone would pay $120,000 and spend four years to be surrounded by thinking that is, frankly, garbage.

The University of Toronto has instructed psychology professor Jordan B. Peterson to refrain from doing two things following his controversial opposition to gender-neutral pronouns. He broke one of those rules by joining The Oakley Show to talk about his ongoing war with political correctness.

We're talking with Author, Writer and Motivational Speaker, John Harricharan. He has an Eastern philosophy that the Western world can't get enough of. He shares his story of Professor Peterson, a college professor who tried to crush his dream of becoming an author. But he shows what happens when you follow your heart and your passion.
