More at https://www.philosophytalk.org/shows/what-gender. Gender is a controversial topic these days, but people can't seem to agree about what gender is. Is it an inner identity, a biological fact, or an oppressive system? Should we respect it or resist it? Should it even be a thing? Josh and guest-host Blakey Vermeule question gender with regular co-host Ray Briggs, co-author of "What Even Is Gender?"

Show Summary Featured in this week's episode of Mike G the Photog from Leon Blue Studios is a discussion with fellow photographer Ray Briggs. Ray is the owner of Okushi photography, and he got his start at 19 years old shooting for school picture days for the company Prestige. He started Okushi photography when his son was born ten years ago. It began as a side project while working for Prestige. He has since been working at his company full time for the past four years, and he specializes in weddings, portraits, and architecture photography. Ray touches on the importance of organization from the beginning. Like Mike, he finds that a system and process of doing things will help keep the flow to your work more efficient. If you enjoy the process, the work gets better and goals become more attainable. He also speaks about the passion he has had for photography, and how that was one of the qualities that led him to hire Mike several years ago. Ray also admits that if he had been more organized when first starting out on his own, he most likely would have succeeded sooner in his business. His lack of organization and system flow affected him greatly, but now that he has both he has found it much easier. Ray also dives into the importance of having a work-life balance. You need to set aside certain times or days that projects are reserved for. For example, Ray always sets aside weddings for the weekend, so he does not do architecture projects on the weekends. He reserves architecture for strictly during the week. This allows him the opportunity to balance out each of the projects he has. When you are able to prioritize your projects, it allows you to create a standard order of operations. He also has a separate system for editing and uploading photos that allows him to work more effectively than when he first began. He admitted that he had trouble transferring files from his SD card, and so he set up a system to immediately take care of it as soon as he is done with his shoots. Following the uploads, he sets aside time to go over the photos and begin editing. However, with weddings he prefers to take some time off to refresh himself before looking over the content. Clearly, Ray has found a way to create a work-life balance that allows him to pursue his passion while also keeping his life organized to create a better flow and work ethic. So, join Mike today as he discusses with Ray about dharma, organization, systems versus goals, and the importance of work-life balance. Find new ways to think about your business, your opportunities, and your purpose then go out and start changing your photos for the better.

More at www.philosophytalk.org/shows/should-beliefs-aim-truth. If beliefs can be described as having a goal or purpose, then surely that is something like aiming at the truth. Yet we all hold many false beliefs too. Do these false beliefs fail to meet their goal? Or are there some things we believe simply because they make us feel good? Could the goal of beliefs sometimes be to provide comfort? Or must all beliefs—unlike, say, desires and wishes—be based on some kind of justification or evidence? Josh and Ken truly believe their guest is Ray Briggs from Stanford University.

Megan Meyers, adjunct professor of global arts and world religions at Fuller Seminary, and Ray Briggs, associate professor of music and assistant director of jazz studies at California State University, Long Beach, reflect on the intersections of Hip Hop and religion in a globalized world. They are interviewed by Roberta King, associate professor of communication and ethnomusicology. The Fuller Missiology Lectures is an annual conference held by the School of Intercultural Studies. Its 2018 theme, “Global Arts and Witness in Multifaith Contexts,” explored the role of the arts—song, dance, drama, narratives, and visual arts—as a means for cross-cultural understanding and new opportunities for Christian witness in multifaith contexts. The conference was hosted by Roberta R. King, Professor of Communication and Ethnomusicology; William A. Dyrness, Senior Professor of Theology and Culture and Dean Emeritus; and Amos Yong, Professor of Theology and Mission and Director of the Center for Missiological Research.
