In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with Dr. Lara Jirmanus and Professor Atalia Omer about the Harvard University's two new reports, one on Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian bias and the other on antisemitism and anti-Israel bias. They discuss the quality of the reports, how the antisemitism report erases Jews who are critical of Israel, and what the potential impact is for a report on Islamophobia, anti-Arab and Anti-Palestinian bigotry. For more, see the two Harvard reports: Combating Anti-Muslim, Anti-Arab, and Anti-Palestinian Bias" and "Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias." Dr. Lara Jirmanus is a family physician and a Clinical Instructor at Harvard Medical School. Lara has been involved in grassroots organizing, advocacy and research for many years, addressing worker and immigrant rights in the US, infectious diseases in Brazil and the impact of conflict and displacement in the Middle East. She recently published "Harvard talks free speech but silences Palestine" (Al Jazeera May 7, 2025). Atalia Omer, PhD is professor of religion, conflict, and peace studies in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame and a core faculty member of the Keough School's Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies. Her research focuses on religion, violence, and peacebuilding as well as theories and methods in the study of religion and Palestine/Israel. Atalia earned her PhD in religion, ethics, and politics from the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University and she was, until recently, a senior fellow at Harvard Divinity School's Religion and Public Life's Religion, Conflict, and Peace Initiative. Atalia is also on the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Middle East Peace. She recently published "I'm an Israeli professor. Why is my work in Harvard's antisemitism report?" (The Guardian, May 9, 2025.) Original music by Jalal Yaquoub.

On Tuesday, May 6th, activists Pua Chase and Kapulie Flores held a discussion and participated in the screening of the documentary film “Standing Above the Clouds”, directed by Jalena Keane-Lee, at the Isla Vista Theater. The event, attended by students, educators, and community members, follows Native Hawaiian families and mother-and-daughter activists, including Chase and Flores, in their fight against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea, a sacred mountain in Hawaii. The UCSB Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life organized the event. Greg Johnson, the center's director, hosted it. KCSB's Mavis Holley has the story.

Mill, reality TV, and social media, among other factors, in creating the norms of the public and private spheres over time and today.

In this episode, Heather Blankenship sits down with Laura Morby - wife of investor Pace Morby - to talk about carving out your own identity when you're constantly seen as someone else's “plus one.” Laura opens up about the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and the pressure to live up to someone else's spotlight. She shares how she's embracing her behind-the-scenes nature, staying grounded in her own interests - like real estate, cookbook clubs, and thrifting with her kids - and why motherhood is just one chapter, not the whole book.
To discuss the implications of Robert Prevost’s election as pope, for both the church and for the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics, Amna Nawaz spoke with Kim Daniels, the director of the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University, and Father Tom Reese, the senior analyst for Religion News Service and author of "Inside the Vatican."

Georgia Love — and yes, that is her real name — has always had a lot of love to give. Almost a decade ago, she stepped onto our screens as The Bachelorette, searching for just that: love. She found it, too, forming a relationship in the public eye that captured hearts around the country. But now, almost ten years on, that same relationship is ending — also in full view of the public. Georgia is no stranger to loss — both the kind she has chosen to share with the world, and the kind she's fought fiercely to keep private.In this conversation, you'll hear: Georgia discuss losing her mum just days after her Bachelorette finale aired The very public cancellation she endured that still stings... Stepping away from her career, a heartbreaking friendship breakup, and the ways in which she's been changed by public scrutiny. And, of course, her very recent separation from her husband, and how she's picking up the pieces. Georgia has weathered more storms than most. Each time, she's picked herself up, rebuilt her life, and somehow stayed open-hearted. Resilient, vulnerable, and tougher than she often gets credit for, Georgia Love is a woman who has lived many lives in one. You can follow Georgia Love here.

What if the church was never meant to be a waiting room for heaven—but a community that builds paradise now? Recorded live at Phillips Seminary during the 2025 Remind & Renew Conference, Loren Richmond Jr. sits down with Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock to reflect on the decline of religious institutions, the collapse of reliable media, and how early Christian communities cultivated paradise on earth—not just in theory, but through shared meals, practices, and mutual care. Drawing on her groundbreaking book Saving Paradise, Brock calls for a return to rituals that ground us in community, memory, and moral accountability. In this episode, you'll hear about: The origins and impact of moral injury in war and church settings Why wisdom cannot grow in isolation—and how loneliness undermines it The role of ritual in forming resilient, embodied communities of faith Early Christianity's focus on paradise in the here and now What Protestantism lost when it rejected communal, repetitive ritual A powerful critique of institutional silence, spiritual abuse, and the theology of “waiting for heaven” How the Eucharist once fed thousands—and why we need that vision again Rita Nakashima Brock, Ph.D., has been Senior Vice President for Moral Injury Recovery Programs at Volunteers of America since 2017. An award-winning author, she is co-author of Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire (2008). She held the Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Hamline University 1990-1997, then became Director of the Fellowship Program at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. From 2001-2002 she was a fellow at the Center for Values in Public Life at Harvard Divinity School. She co-founded the Soul Repair Center at Brite Divinity School in 2012 and directed it until 2017.
