Michelle Puett was 17 when a man pulled her into the woods of a park and raped her repeatedly over a couple of hours. And afterward, she had to brave the painful and terrifying hospital examination. What she could never imagine is that not only would authorities learn who attacked her 37 years ago, but her rape kit would solve a murder. This is the first of a three-day series, done in collaboration with the Akron Beacon Journal. Ohio Mysteries and the Beacon teamed up in 2021 to begin UNRESOLVED, a series of episodes about cold cases in the Akron Area. The murder of Janice Christensen, now solved through its connection to the Puett attack, was the first crime covered in that series.

We often think of modernity as a distinct time period in history – one that is said to start at different places, but which always includes us. Yet people have been claiming to be modern since at least the third century BC. Harvard scholar Michael Puett takes us back to ancient China, when a series of emperors laid claim to modernity in order to consolidate their rule. Puett argues that modernity is best understood not as a period on a timeline but as a claim to freedom from the past. By recognizing how “modernity claims” try either to erase the past or to master it for our own uses, we can appreciate what is at stake in our own invocations of “modernity."

We often think of modernity as a time period in history. But people have been claiming to be modern since at least c. 550 AD, when the Roman writer Cassiodorus used the term modernus to mark off everything that had happened since the fall of the Roman Empire. Harvard scholar Michael Puett takes us back much further, to the third century BC in ancient China, when a series of emperors claimed modernity to consolidate their rule. Puett argues that modernity is best understood as a claim to freedom from the past. By recognizing two forms of modernity claim—one that tries to erase the past and another that tries to master it—we can better understand what is at stake in our own invocations of “modernity."

JonesJesus and John Wayne by Kristin Kobes Du Mez Join us in a fascinating conversation with Dr. Tiffany Puett of the Institute for Diversity and Civic Life about Critical Race Theory. Tiffany dedicates her time to the study of diversity in Texas and accurately presenting the rich populace of our state. Because of her PhD in religious studies, she also speaks authoritatively on the influence of religion on our state politics. All of these factors intersect in the issue of Critical Race Theory. She helps us understand why lawmakers in Texas felt a need to design and pass legislation to preemptively make sure the children of Texas would never be presented with any ideas remotely connected to CRT. We made many connections in this conversation, and we're curious to hear your thoughts.

Kinų filosofai apie meną gyventi. Kuo ypatinga kinų filosofija? Ji nekelia abstrakčių klausimų, kokia gyvenimo prasmė ar patirtis yra objektyvi, kas aš esu, jie klausia: kokia jūsų kasdienybė? Pirmiausiai jiems rūpėjo pakeisti kasdienę elgseną, jų nuomone, svarbiausia visą dėmesį sutelkti į žmonių tarpusavio santykius: „bendraudami vieni su kitais mes kaskart prisidedame prie naujo pasaulio kūrimo“, – teigia jie. Kinų filosofai buvo įsitikinę, kad dideli pokyčiai įvyksta mažose kasdienybės detalėse – būtent jose turėtume ieškoti gyvenimo visavertiškumo.Pokalbis su knygos “Kelias“ (autoriai Harvardo universiteto profesorius M.Puett ir rašytoja, žurnalistė Ch.

In November 2017, Michael Puett, Professor of Chinese History and Anthropology at Harvard University, gave two talks at the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at Cambridge on the subject of neoliberalism in China. Beth met with Professor Puett after his talks to discuss Puett’s critical stance on the naturalness of neoliberalism, and his assertion that comparative analysis can help us create alternative models by which to organize our world. They also talked about how to contextualize the particular version of neoliberalism found in China today.

Christine Gross-Loh @grossloh Author, writer. THE PATH: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us About the Good Life. Bylines: @theatlantic, @wsj, @guardian, @nytimeswell @voxdotcom Christine Gross-Loh is a freelance journalist and author. Her writing has appeared in a number of publications including The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and the Huffington Post. She has a PhD from Harvard University in East Asian history. The Path - NYT and International BestsellerPraise for THE PATH: “Puett’s dynamism translates well from his classroom theater onto the page, and his provocative, radical re-envisioning of everyday living through Chinese philosophy opens wide the “possibilities for thinking afresh about ourselves and about our future.” His text presents creative alternatives to the stale “confines of our narrative.” With philosophical consideration, our methods of interacting and coexisting may, as the author promises, have the power to better our lives and our relationships. With its academic tone and spirited, convincing vision, revolutionary new insights can be gleaned from this book on how to approach life’s multifarious situations with both heart and head.” —Kirkus Reviews “[Michael Puett and Christine Gross-Loh's] accessible, conversational style introduces anyone with interest to what Chinese sages suggested about giving meaning to our days. Even more impressive, they inspire interest.” —Huffington Post “The Path illuminates a little-known spiritual and intellectual landscape: the rich body of Chinese thought that, starting more than two millennia ago, charted new approaches to living a meaningful life. But Puett goes a lot further, creatively applying this ancient thought to the dilemmas of modern life. The result is a fresh recipe for harnessing our natural energies and emotions to strengthen social connection and build islands of order amid the chaos that sometimes surrounds us.” —Robert Wright, author of The Evolution of God “I read The Path in one sitting and have been talking about it to everyone. It’s brilliant, mesmerizing, profound—and deeply contrarian. It stands conventional wisdom on its head and points the way to a life of genuine fulfillment and meaning.” —Amy Chua, Yale Law professor and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother “This is a book that turns the notion of help—and the self, for that matter—on its head. Puett and Gross-Loh bring seemingly esoteric concepts down to Earth, where we can see them more clearly. The result is a philosophy book grounded in the here and now, and brimming with nuggets of insight. No fortune-cookie this, The Path serves up a buffet of meaty life lessons. I found myself reading and re-reading sections, letting the wisdom steep like a good cup of tea.” —Eric Weiner, author of The Geography of Bliss and The Geography of Genius Each fall, Harvard professor Michael Puett begins his freshman survey of Chinese Philosophy with a promise – if you take the ideas in these texts seriously, they will change your life. Confucius’s Analects, the Dao de jing, the writings of Mencius: Ancient texts handed down over millennia in a land more than 7000 miles away. These texts, you ask, will change my life? Many students, even those bound for Wall Street, say the class has done just that. And we have one better: we suspect they may change yours, too. In his inspiring book THE PATH: What Chinese Philosophers Can Teach Us about the Good Life, written with Christine Gross-Loh, Puett brings these texts out of the University and into the world, encouraging us to put aside traditional Western ideas about “the good life” and to engage with the philosophies of key Chinese thinkers. A course the administration thought would barely draw 100 students has, in nine years, inspired such an overflow of requests to attend that it was forced to move to the majestic Sanders Theater – the biggest room on campus – where 700 students now crowd into that hall every semester for Puett’s legendary seminar, “Classical Chinese Ethical and Political Theory.” It is Harvard’s third most popular class after “Computer Science” and “The Principles of Economics.” And life-changing indeed have these ideas been. For students pressured to push ahead with big pre-set goals and achieve individual excellence, this ancient way of thinking about life seems to them nothing less than revelatory – and a huge relief. But of course it isn’t only students who feel this pressure to succeed; it’s every one of us. And while our culture rewards ambition, that ambition often leaves us wanting for happiness, for peace, and for reassurance. So for Westerners, to say nothing of Harvard students, when these are ideas are put into practice they may even seem almost subversive. According to the wisdom of the sages in THE PATH, in making subtle adjustments to way we move through our day, the most dramatic changes can – and will – occur. By engaging with these texts, we can make profound shifts in our thinking, not only about what we can control, but about what success and happiness really are; we can stop thinking about what we’d like to become, and focus more on how we want to be. Michael Puett is the Walter C. Klein Professor of Chinese History in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and Chair of the Committee on the Study of Religion at Harvard University. He is the recipient of a Harvard College Professorship for excellence in undergraduate teaching.

In his latest book, The Path: A New Way to Think About Everything, Michael Puett presents 8 things to do if you want to make positive and lasting changes to your life. I had not come across Puett's writing until recently when I saw him interviewed about the book. One of his points in particular made me sit up and listen: ...Stop Taking Personality Tests Puett is an expert in Chinese philosophy and a professor at Harvard, so I was really interested in his ideas. My immediate thought was ‘what? No! ludicrous'. But then as he explained what he meant it quickly became clear that this was more of a click bait headline than the full story: "It's a fun exercise to learn that you're an introvert, an extrovert, or anything in between. But beware of taking any labels too seriously. All the Chinese philosophers would have been surprised by our modern-day penchant to diagnose our personalities: I'm a hothead, I fear intimacy, I'm a dreamer and so on. Labels can be damaging because they drive our behaviour and become a self-fulfilling prophecy. ‘As a result, too many of us wake up one day feeling stuck inside a narrow definition of ourselves... You might think, ‘I'm the sort of person who gets annoyed easily,' but it's likely that you have become that person because that's how you have behaved for years. ‘By being loyal to a “true self” you ended up concretising destructive habits.' " I agree with Puett. Although I don't believe we should write off personality tests. They have a very important role to play. I know from conversations that personality tests have been life changing and dare I say even life-saving for many introverts and highly sensitive people What do you do with the results of personality tests? This is an important question. It is one that holds the key to whether or not these kinds of tests are beneficial to us (and the world). I believe that personality tests can either release us and imprison us depending on what we do with the results. In this episode of the podcast we think about certain do's and don'ts of processing our discoveries, so that we don't fall into the traps that Puett believes make personality tests a negative thing... Don't Allow a Label to Think for You See Personality Type as a Diagnosis Remove Yourself From All Others Pigeon Hole Everyone Into Your Favourite Latest Personality Test Try Finding Yourself   Do Allow them to Help You See the Bigger Picture Allow them to Be the Foundation of Better Interactions and Relationships Use them to Understand Relational Friction Be an Advocate for Different Types Over to You Have you taken personality tests? Have you found them liberating or do you relate to the negative impact that we explore in this episode of the podcast? Please leave your response in the comments below, I'd love to hear what you think!

This week Bad At Sports debuts its collaborative partnership with the online journal Art Practical. Scott Oliver, who has previously been on the show with the Collective Foundation, sits down with J. Morgan Puett. They discuss Mildred's Lane, a collaborative project with Mark Dion, the revolutionary politics of garments, and reclaiming the term migrant worker. An abridged transcript of the conversation can be found at Art Practical . Hooshing and the Nexus of Clothing: A Conversation with J. Morgan Puett By Scott Oliver  I met J. Morgan Puett during her Bridge Residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts this past fall. I knew little of her or her work, but was immediately struck by her warmth and charm, and by the language she used to talk about her practice. She refers to it as “a practice of being” in which “an ethics of comportment” defines any engagement she might have—with students, collaborators, participants, fellow artists-in-residence. But also with her son’s teacher or her car mechanic. Terms like “hoosh,” “workstyles (a play on lifestyles),” “algorithm,” “emergent,” “entangled,” and “complexity” pepper Puett’s speech, effectively communicating her expansive approach to art. She doesn’t often mention “social practice,” perhaps because her work has been socially engaged all along. But the term is also insufficient, so is “installation art” (a form her work often resembles). Puett’s work is difficult to summarize. It is sprawling, layered, immersive and open-ended. It is as intellectually rich as it is sensually pleasurable. It is narrative, process-based and participatory. In short, it is meant to be experienced, yet none-the-less fascinating to discuss. Scott Oliver is a sculptor and project-based artist living and working in Oakland, California. He has written catalogue essays for Southern Exposure, The Present Group, and independent curator Joseph del Pesco. Oliver co-founded Shotgun Review, an on-line source for reviews of Bay Area visual art exhibitions, with del Pesco in 2005 where he was a regular contributor until 2008. He is currently working on an audio walking tour of Oakland’s Lake Merritt.
