BUFFALO, NY- September 20, 2022 – A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 13 on September 14, 2022, entitled, “Targeting Krebs-cycle-deficient renal cell carcinoma with Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors and low-dose alkylating chemotherapy.” Loss-of-function mutations in genes encoding the Krebs cycle enzymes Fumarate Hydratase (FH) and Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDH) induce accumulation of fumarate and succinate, respectively, and predispose patients to hereditary cancer syndromes including the development of aggressive renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Fumarate and succinate competitively inhibit αKG-dependent dioxygenases, including Lysine-specific demethylase 4A/B (KDM4A/B), leading to suppression of the homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway. Researchers Daiki Ueno, Juan C. Vasquez, Amrita Sule, Jiayu Liang, Jinny van Doorn, Ranjini Sundaram, Sam Friedman, Randy Caliliw, Shinji Ohtake, Xun Bao, Jing Li, Huihui Ye, Karla Boyd, Rong Rong Huang, Jack Dodson, Paul Boutros, Ranjit S. Bindra, and Brian Shuch from Yale University School of Medicine, West China Hospital/School of Medicine, Wayne State University, and University of California, Los Angeles have developed new syngeneic Fh1- and Sdhb-deficient murine models of RCC, which demonstrate the expected accumulation of fumarate and succinate, alterations in the transcriptomic and methylation profile, and an increase in unresolved DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). “In this study, we sought to examine the activity of combined TMZ and PARPi in Krebs-cycle-deficient renal cancer models. Fh1 and Sdhb are the murine counter part of human FH and SDHB, respectively.” The efficacy of poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) and temozolomide (TMZ), alone and in combination, was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Combination treatment with PARPi and TMZ results in marked in vitro cytotoxicity in Fh1- and Sdhb-deficient cells. In vivo, treatment with standard dosing of the PARP inhibitor BGB-290 and low-dose TMZ significantly inhibits tumor growth without a significant increase in toxicity. These findings provide the basis for a novel therapeutic strategy exploiting HR deficiency in FH and SDH-deficient RCC with combined PARP inhibition and low-dose alkylating chemotherapy. “Using newly developed Fh1 and Sdhb deficient syngeneic mouse models, we demonstrate that oncometabolite-induced HR defects can be leveraged with PARPi treatment to enhance sensitivity to low-dose TMZ in Krebs-cycle-deficient renal cancer.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28273 Correspondence to: Ranjit S.

Labour has taken an about-turn. From Adam Smith's proposal for specialisation which saw the factory line reorganised so that each worker needed to understand only a small aspect of the production process, many industries now rely on access to specialised skills and resources that are commanded at-hoc in discrete, time- and output-bound chunks. This is the logic of projects. The workforce no longer dedicates itself to the making of a singular commodity, as it was the case with Smith, but bids for discrete pieces of work when those are in demand. In some industries, for example, in the art world, the workforce is also charged with building the demand for their work by initiating the project which would then employ them. The ABC of the Projectariat: Living and Working in a Precarious Art World (Manchester UP, 2021) by Kuba Szreder contributes new thinking on and practical responses to the widespread problem of precarious labour in contemporary art. It is both a critical analysis and a practical handbook, speaking to and about the vast cohort of artistic freelancers worldwide. Kuba Szreder speaks to Pierre d'Alancaisez about the artistic project, and the effects of projectarisation on workers' solidarity, communal governance, and the precarity of artistic activity. Kuba Szreder is a lecturer in the department of art theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He combines his research with independent curatorial practice. His previous publications include Joy Forever: Political Economy of Social Creativity (2011) and Art Factory: Division of Labor and Distribution of Resources in the Field of Contemporary Art in Poland (2014). In 2018, together with Kathrin Böhm, he initiated Centre for Plausible Economies, a cluster devoted to reimagining economies of contemporary art and using artistic imagination to redraw the economy at large.

Labour has taken an about-turn. From Adam Smith's proposal for specialisation which saw the factory line reorganised so that each worker needed to understand only a small aspect of the production process, many industries now rely on access to specialised skills and resources that are commanded at-hoc in discrete, time- and output-bound chunks. This is the logic of projects. The workforce no longer dedicates itself to the making of a singular commodity, as it was the case with Smith, but bids for discrete pieces of work when those are in demand. In some industries, for example, in the art world, the workforce is also charged with building the demand for their work by initiating the project which would then employ them. The ABC of the Projectariat by Kuba Szreder contributes new thinking on and practical responses to the widespread problem of precarious labour in contemporary art. It is both a critical analysis and a practical handbook, speaking to and about the vast cohort of artistic freelancers worldwide. Kuba Szreder speaks to Pierre d'Alancaisez about the artistic project, and the effects of projectarisation on workers' solidarity, communal governance, and the precarity of artistic activity. Kuba Szreder is a lecturer in the department of art theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He combines his research with independent curatorial practice.

In this episode of Vinyl Stallions, we sit-down with Cleveland-area drummer, Dylan Friedman! He is currently the drummer in the Cleveland-based band FireSide. Dylan walks us through his family's music history, drumming inspirations (specifically Taylor Hawkins, who devastatingly passed away two days after this interview was recorded) and what it is like to play in FireSide with his father (Sam Friedman - bass guitar). This was a great conversation with a very talented musician!
With a combination of quantitative data analysis and qualitative first-hand accounts, Friedman and Laurison unveiled the complexity of meritocracy beyond the promises of political rhetoric. Shedding light on the prevalent class pay gap in the U.K., where one's socioeconomic background largely influences one's career choices and trajectory, we come to discover the Bourdieusian mechanism of elite class reproduction.

Individuals from working class backgrounds who join the UK's top professions earn on average 16% less than their colleagues doing the same job but who hail from a more privileged background. This shocking fact revealed by this week's Oven-Ready HR guest Dr Sam Friedman highlights the long-shadow still cast on our life outcomes in 21st century Britain. Why in a supposedly meritocratic society, should where you went to school and how you speak determine your earning potential? Dr Sam Friedman is a commissioner at the Social Mobility Commission and Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He has published widely on class, culture and social mobility and recently co-authored “The Class Ceiling; why it pays to be privileged."The question of class is a hot topic in HR. Just this month, accountancy giant KPMG announced plans to increase the number of partners and directors with a working class background from 23% to 29%.In this interview, we cover:Why is there a class pay gap?Why is there a lack of working-class people in senior roles?Why class is a conscious as opposed to an unconscious bias; a mis-recognition of talent and how this impacts upon the recruitment and development of talentWhat are the dominant behavioural codes and cultural touchpoints displayed by those from a privileged background? Why being knowledgeable about cricket isn't a guarantee of competenceWhy working class individuals continue to feel like imposters in the workplace.This is a fascinating interview into Britain's class system and how it plays out at work. Surely in a modern society, where you went to school shouldn't impact your pay packet should it?Links:https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-class-ceilinghttps://www.lse.ac.uk/sociology/people/sam-friedmanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/Find out more?To listen to the full episode, download a transcript and view all the other episodes or find out more about Oven-Ready HR and Chris Taylor your show host visit: https://ovenreadyhr.com

In today's episode I sit down with Sam Friedman, Professor of Sociology at the LSE. Graduating with degrees from both the University of Edinburgh and the LSE, Sam has spent his academic career specializing in class and inequality, particularly focusing on the cultural dimensions of contemporary class division. After publishing his preeminent book “The Class Ceiling – Why It Pays To Be Privileged” Sam has quickly become one of the most well-known academics in the UK featuring in BBC documentaries, commissioning reports for the UK government and most recently being appointed to ITV's Cultural Advisory Council. In our conversation we discuss a litany of topics such as Sam's privileged upbringing and how this motivated him to explore class inequality, the differences in risk-taking between privileged and less-privileged professionals and what can be done to promote more social mobility in the UK .This is a really informative episode with a key social mobility influencer so I know you'll enjoy this one. ***Please note that the views shared in this podcast by the speakers are personal and do not represent their respective employers.***

*Be aware, like any movie production of a written work, there are differences between the text and video. The theme and overall message is the same. The text is presented smoother, more polished, and has more information.* Welcome back, Wolf Pack, to another Positive Cinematic Spotlight! When I was planning our week two spotlight, I was looking at some movie options, but then tragedy struck, and I knew I had to shift our focus. Afterall, reality often happens, making us adjust our plans. The tragedy which made me adjust my plans was the untimely passing of award winning actor Chadwick Boseman. I wanted to honor Boseman by focusing on one of his rolls. I knew him only for his title character Black Panther, but knew he was recognized for other characters, and I took the opportunity to broaden my experience with his career. I chose his movie Marshall, in which he portrayed trailblazing Civil Rights lawyer and judge Thurgood Marshall. There is a lot of inspiration to be found in the life of Thurgood Marshall. His strength and fortitude to seek justice for the falsely accused. Going further back in his story, which is not addressed in the movie, you can find that Marshall was willing to listen and change, being described by fellow classmate Langston Hughes as, “rough and ready, loud and wrong.” It can be shocking to learn that Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was suspended from college twice for hazing and playing pranks on fellow students, and the civil rights leader opposed the integration of African-American professors at Lincoln University. But the following year, he was participating in sit-ins protesting for the integration of lunch counters. I haven't discovered what shifted his focus from pranks and keeping things segregated to becoming one of the most influential Civil Rights leaders, but he was willing to change. As for the movie Marshall, what caught my attention was the relationship between Marshall and Sam Friedman. In the movie, Marshall was sent by the NAACP to defend Joseph Spell after determining his innocence. Marshall had just returned home and was not happy about the immediate assignment to go to Lafayette, Louisiana. However, he went to defend Spell with gusto. Friedman, on the other hand, did not want to be involved in the case. Through Marshall's conviction and personality, Friedman found himself being connected to the case, and when Judge Foster said Marshall would not be allowed to speak during the case, his presence only allowed to insure Spell received a fair trial, Friedman was forced into taking on the lead defense of Spell, following Marshall's lead behind the scenes. In this awkward arrangement, we can find inspiration. Much like Friendman, many of use find ourselves being required to take on rolls and responsibilities which we are neither prepared, nor interested in taking. Many of us balked at the idea of becoming virtual, distant educators. Virtual education, video classes, distance and online learning,.. These were not things that magically generated when COVID-19 hit the U.S. But many teachers dug in their heels, determined to remain classroom teachers, being live and in person with our students, only to find out… we did not have a choice. But Friedman, while he did complain some at the outset, is shown to display a determination, wanting to do as good of a job as he could, despite his desire to not be involved, and not letting missteps fester into negativity. We should follow Marshall's Friedman into whatever aspect that virtual teaching takes for us, be it all virtual, or a hybrid paired with traditional teaching, and not allow ourselves to wallow in the negatives, and remain determined to perform to the best of our abilities. We can also learn from Boseman's Thurgood Marshall. Marshall entered the Lafayette courtroom planning to lead the defense of Joseph Spell only to be told he had to sit silently as an observer. The virtual aspects of our school year are forcing us, to some
In this episode of Policy Matters, hosts Matt Dickson and Franz Buscha talk to Sam Friedman, Associate Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and a member of the Social Mobility Commission. Sam explains his recent research highlighting how those from working class backgrounds find themselves earning less than colleagues from more privileged families even when they have the same qualifications and work in the same elite professions. Going beyond the numbers to understand this ‘class pay gap', Sam describes the numerous interviews he undertook with elite professionals from different backgrounds and what this revealed about the hidden mechanisms that operate, often rewarding privilege rather than merit or ability. The discussion then moves on to the dominance of private schools – and especially a particular group of private schools – in the elite strata of society and considers the sorts of policies that might help to make Britain a more meritocratic society.
Dr. Fred and co-host Sam Morris sit down for a mind-blowing conversation with Sam Friedman, an “artist and scientist working with electricity, trying to find a starry synthesis of the mysterious speedy electron and the soft slow human.” A Machine Learning Scientist in the Data Sciences platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Sam is keenly interested in how machine learning can help advance our understanding of cardiovascular disease and make an impact in the clinic.

Professor Paul Dolan examines whether class is fundamental to how people see themselves and whether we want a classless society. He speaks to two people who come from very different backgrounds. Lily Russell-Stracey went to an exclusive boarding school and a top university – and is now a plumber in Glasgow. Dr Wanda Wyporska comes from a working-class background and was raised by a single mum. She went to Oxford University and is now Executive Director of the Equality Trust.Paul also speaks to Dr Sam Friedman from the LSE who wrote The Class Ceiling: Why It Pays to be Privileged. He's also joined by his mate Rory Sutherland, vice chair of the advertising agency Ogilvy. A Mother Come Quickly Production Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

REVERBERATIONS OF INEQUALITY Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. Even in the United Kingdom, with its longstanding reputation for rigid class distinctions, the common presumption in the twenty-first century is that people progress in their careers according to talent and hard work. In his interviews with members of elite occupations, however, SAM FRIEDMAN discovered that getting ahead in these careers often has much to do with the advantages of a privileged class origin. These advantages range from the “bank of mum and dad,” enabling greater career risks (and rewards), to the less tangible behavioral markers of accent and manners that make it easier to fit into elite workplace cultures or find favor with well-placed mentors. In his discussion with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Friedman weighs whether efforts should be directed to achieving equality of opportunity or, rather, to reducing the outsized rewards of success. He argues that either way, the first step is to puncture the myth of meritocracy. Note: This interview was recorded way back in September 2019, when Friedman presented his work at the Mitchell Center’s “Reverberations of Inequality” Conference – long before the current coronavirus crisis was on the horizon.
It’s the story we’re all told when we’re growing up. Work hard at school so you can get into a good university. Work hard at university so you can get a good job. Get a masters degree – taking on more student debt – if you really want to mark yourself out. Work hard at the office so you can get ahead. But what if that’s not the real story? Social mobility in the UK is stagnating. Class privilege is entrenched. Boris Johnson is the twentieth prime minister to go to Eton. What if the idea of Britain as a meritocracy is a myth? To answer this question, Ayeisha is joined by Jo Littler, a reader in sociology at City University of London and author of ‘Against Meritocracy’, and Sam Friedman, associate sociology professor at LSE and author of ‘The Class Ceiling: Why It Pays To Be Privileged’.

Improving social mobility has been a key pledge of successive governments with politicians promising to create a meritocracy in Britain. However, research shows time and time again that the best-paid and most influential jobs still go to those from privileged backgrounds while the working classes aren’t getting ahead… even if they’re better candidates for the position. So, why is class the last big barrier to getting a top job? In this episode we speak to broadcaster Amol Rajan about his documentary following working-class graduates attempting to break into elite professions, and his own experience of going from a south London state school to being the BBC’s media editor. Dr Sam Friedman explains why it pays to be privileged in the workplace and tries to find a solution to Britain’s class problem. Producers: Lucy Hancock and Alicia Burrell. Mixed by Nicolas Raufast. Editor: Philly Beaumont.
Is education, by itself, the great equalizer? Will having the same education erase the benefit someone from a higher class has over someone from a lower class? “Education,” says sociologist Sam Friedman, “doesn’t wash away the effects of class background in terms of allocating opportunities. That’s quite profound – I believe there are a lot of people who believe quite strongly that these sorts of educational institutions can and do act as sort of meritocratic sorting houses.” Friedman, an assistant professor at the London School of Economics, doesn’t deny education has some role – and some successes – in this role, but believes that education is not sufficient to achieve the goal of unbinding Britain’s class system. Friedman tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast that “it’s a very long and protracted discussion that we could have about the meaning of class.” He sees two ways to discuss it in sociological terms: the dominant model of what work do you do, and the Pierre Bourdieu-influenced idea of what resources -- or economic, cultural and social capital -- can you draw upon. Friedman’s work tends to use that first definition: “What’s the nature of that work in terms of both your level of autonomy at work as well as your earnings potential, and what is that work’s nature.” In turn, he focuses a lot on elite professions, as suggested by the title of the book he co-authored with Daniel Laurison, The Class Ceiling: Why it Pays to be Privileged. “You know, a lot of the emphasis in terms of understanding social mobility has tended to be on this ideas of ‘access to the professions,’” he explains. “These are traditionally an area that have been the preserve of people from fairly privileged backgrounds and there’s been a sort of enduring policy emphasis on opening them up, making those areas accessible to all based on merit, based on talent. I suppose we wanted to interrogate that in a way that was new and fresh and brought to bear new evidence.” The goal, he adds, is to answer that question always lurking in the background of discussions by Britons about Britain: What sort of society do we live in? One where class still affects outcomes. While that might seem intuitive, Friedman’s research has helped unpack exactly what’s going on here, even when opportunity at the educational level evens out. His metric for measuring the residual disparity in classes is the pay gap – stubborn and measurable – in which people from working-class backgrounds who do score ‘elite’ jobs make 84 percent of what their coworkers from privileged backgrounds do. In this podcast, Freidman describes some of the reasons he’s found for the persistence, including the ability of the well-off to draw from ‘The Bank of Mum and Dad’ throughout their lives, a financial lifeline which often gives them the flexibility to take chances that poorer colleagues fear. He also describes how sponsorship opportunities often go to not to the top performers but to people who share a cultural affinity with their potential mentor, or how behavioral codes tend to push down on people who weren’t raised to be conversant in them. In addition to The Class Ceiling, Friedman has written widely on these issues of social mobility and inequality, including the 2014 book Distinction: The Cultural Currency of a ‘Good’ Sense of Humour. In 2015 he co-wrote Social Class in the 21st Century for Penguin. In the public sphere, he sits on the government’s Social Mobility Commission. He’s currently working with Aaron Reeves on analyzing the data contained in the 120 years of British Who’s Who listings.
Agents can’t afford to be complacent with their small commercial books, advises Sam Freidman, who leads insurance research at Deloitte’s Center for Financial Services. “The small business market appears poised to finally gain traction for those looking to sell coverage direct to consumers, although some of the emerging platforms also are functioning as online MGAs, keeping retail agents in the mix.” Deloitte’s exploration of the middle-market customer is fascinating, yielding consumer preferences for wanting more from an independent agent than insurance. For the middle market (and even larger small businesses), Sam’s research suggests buyers would appreciate insurers and their agents offering a wider array of products than just risk transfer and basic risk management/loss control. To fortify accounts, agents could reposition as a “concierge of services,” offering connections to industry-specific business management advice, regulatory compliance, payroll support, business loans, social media marketing, cloud service computing, seminars, webinars, tax prep services, peer-exchange networking, and more. This episode is chock full of research findings on how agents might position commercial lines for growth. The post Agents Can Become “Concierge of Services” appeared first on Insurance Journal TV.
Who gets in to top professions? In The Class Ceiling: Why it pays to be privileged (Policy Press, 2019), Drs Sam Friedman, an associate professor of sociology at LSE, and Daniel Laurison, an assistant professor of sociology at Swarthmore College, explore the dominance of social elites in top professions. The book draws on theories of social mobility and the work of Pierre Bourdieu to explain how top professions are highly exclusive, with under representations of women, ethnic minorities, and those from working class backgrounds. Moreover, even when individuals from these demographics do enter top jobs such as law, medicine, and accountancy, along with media occupations and acting, they suffer gaps in pay because of their class, race, and gender. The intersection of these demographics is crucial to the analysis, and the book uses detailed qualitative research to explain this 'class ceiling', showing how economic, cultural, and social capital play out to account for how inequality is replicated in the workplace and beyond. The book is essential reading for everyone interested in contemporary social inequality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Class Ceiling: Why it pays to be privileged. Drawing on four in-depth case studies – acting, accountancy, architecture and television – Sam Friedman, Associate Professor in Sociology at the LSE, argues that the ‘class ceiling’ in the elite professions can only be partially attributed to conventional measures of ‘merit’. Instead, he suggests that more powerful drivers include the misrecognition of classed self-presentation as ‘talent’ and the affordances of the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’. He's joined by Louise Ashley, Senior Lecturer in Organization Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London and Anna Williams, Director of Research, Advocacy and Communications at the Sutton Trust.

To mark the publication of the special issue ‘Producing and Consuming Inequality: A Cultural Sociology of the Cultural Industries’, Edinburgh College of Art held an evening of discussion, debate, and decision-making, themed around the problem of social inequality and the cultural sector. The special issue was published in Volume 11, Issue 3 of Cultural Sociology and was edited by Dave O’Brien , Kim Allen , Sam Friedman , and Anamik Saha. Academic research, highlighted in Cultural Sociology, has shown the inequalities associated with who makes culture in the UK; what is represented on stage, on screen, and in print; and who consumes the culture of our government supported cultural organisations. The evening consisted of a panel of cultural practitioners, hosted by the guest editors of the special issue.

What is funny? What makes you laugh? We think of laughter as being universal idea that applies to everyone, no matter their age, ethnicity, gender or social class. In Comedy and Distinction: The Cultural Currency of a ‘Good’ Sense of Humour (Routledge, 2014), Sam Friedman tries to overturn our assumptions about comedy. The book draws on the work of Pierre Bourdieu to show how comedy is deeply related to social position, both in terms of what sorts of comedy people watch and listen to and also in terms of their sense of humour. Comedy is the basis for a form of distinction, as social groups differentiate themselves from others by their tastes. This applies not only to the upper and working class groups in society, but has implications for socially mobile individuals too. Moreover, the book shows how the assumption of good taste in comedy, which is related to having omnivorous cultural interests, is often bound up with symbolic violence from high social status groups towards the rest of society. Alongside the book’s detailed consideration of cultural consumption, the text offers an insight into both the history and the business of comedy, illustrating how the tastemakers of comedy scouting and criticism reinforce the social divisions found in comedy consumption. In exploring both the production and consumption of comedy Friedman develops the idea of cultural capital in comedy, a theoretical idea that will be useful for anyone thinking about the sociology of culture. For the more general reader the book shows how important comedy is to modern society, as opposed to those who would see it as a lowbrow cultural form. By the end of the text the reader will understand that comedy is no laughing matter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

British comedy, from Music Hall to TV sitcom, was once a democratic medium. Humour united people otherwise divided by class and education. But new research finds that the Alternative Comedy Movement transformed comedy's place in our culture. It rejected the 'lowbrow' tone of earlier humour, creating the basis for comic taste to provide new forms of social distinction. The sociologist, Sam Friedman joins Laurie Taylor to debate comedy snobbery. Also, mobile communications have elided the distinction between work and home. The cultural studies lecturer, Melissa Gregg, and the Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, Rosalind Gill, ask if the lines between our personal and professional lives are increasingly blurred. Producer: Jayne Egerton.
