What is behind the seeming rise of public emotionalism and the focus on mental health? How was “happiness” a policy concern – and when did it disappear and why? What's going on with universities and their focus on the mental health of students? Is there much emotion about, in a romantic sense of deep feeling? Or is it emotion ersatz, instrumentalised, superficial, sentimentalised? How does affect polarise politically Left and Right? Can we solve the crisis of subjectivity by focusing on the self?

Inequality is a pervasive problem in society that leads to individuals and entire communities feeling undervalued and neglected and can have adverse impacts. We excitedly welcome acclaimed Harvard sociologist Michèle Lamont for this discussion, who joins Debbie to impart wisdom and discoveries from her powerful book, Seeing Others: How Recognition Works and How It Can Heal a Divided World. As they explore the complicated topic of recognition in society, Michele draws from almost four decades of research and interviews with young adults, cultural figures, and advocates for change to highlight the differences in treatment given to certain groups, the impacts of denied recognition, and the role of narratives in shaping societal and cultural norms and values. We also get Michele's informed perspective on the social changes needed for us to cultivate a more compassionate and inclusive society. If this topic speaks to you, please join us for this very meaningful discussion and be part of the change we want to see in the world! Listen and Learn:  Michele explains how certain groups within society are valued and recognized, while others are left feeling devalued and overlooked The denial of recognition and dignity to marginalized groups and how this negatively impacts their well-being and sense of value within society Why psychology may not be able to capture the concept of worth comprehensively How internalized cultural narratives perpetuate and become embedded over time, and what is being done at a cultural level to change them What is normal universalism?  Is there hope for a more inclusive future that values and includes all people? If Michèle could change one narrative related to the concept of worthiness, what would it be?

I think we are inherently good.Author Melanie van de Velde, Ph.D.,  has spent her career helping big businesses do business better, especially in terms of social impact. She shares insights to double or even quintuple results in her book Leak Like a Genius, due out in January. She is also the CEO of Big Tree Global.She notes that a lot of noble, high-impact nonprofit work focuses on fixing problems created directly or indirectly by business. She likens it to mopping up the water from an overflowing tub while the faucet is still running–it is neverending.She suggests instead that implementing structural changes in business to eliminate the problems caused and instead become part of the solution. This is how to shut off the flow of water and simultaneously help to mop it up.She offers a critical observation and an example to make the point:When secondhand donations ramped up in Africa, for example, over 50% of people in the local textile industries lost their jobs as a consequence. It can disrupt local economies, but it can also create adverse psychological impacts such as depression, despair, lack of self-esteem and things like that. So, if you compare it to a whole different example called soleRebels, it's Africa's fastest-growing footwear brand, founded by an Ethiopian businesswoman called Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu. She rightly asks, “If you give a child a pair of shoes and it grows out of it, or it wears out, then what does it have? But if you give the parents a job, the whole family will always have shoes.”That's exactly what she does. She has opened manufacturing facilities in Ethiopia areas that need economic generation development. She pays their staff over three times the industry average wage. So, it's a much more structural solution.If you think about poverty, if you think about inequality, essentially, if we want to tackle the root cause, it takes two things. The first being empowering people to contribute their talents, their skills to make a living. The second part is what I call just payments. That doesn't mean paying everyone the same. For market incentives to work, it's good to recognize different contributing factors such as taking more effort, more risk, bringing more talent, more skill and working harder, but paying people just prices, reflecting the contributions that are made. If we do that, and that is essentially a real role of business, we would tackle poverty, rising inequality, and social exclusion at its root.Her example makes clear that business not only can be an essential part of the solution to poverty, but it must be!Throughout her career, Melanie has employed her superpower, believing that we can make change and that people are inherently good.AI Episode Summary* The guest on the show is Melanie van de Velde, CEO and founder of Big Tree Global and author of Lead Like a Genius.* Melanie's background is in business, but she has always been passionate about addressing poverty in the world.* She ran an impact enterprise in the Kibera slum in Nairobi, which taught her about the challenges of balancing commercial sense and making a difference.* Melanie spent years researching projects and companies that make a difference and wanted to share everything she learned, leading to her book, Lead Like a Genius.* Businesses have a role to play in solving the world's problems by addressing the root causes rather than dealing with symptoms.* Examples include the TOMS buy one give one model, which alleviates poverty-related issues but doesn't fix the root cause, and SoleRebels, an African footwear brand that provides jobs and addresses poverty structurally.* Business models that have a strong commercial sense while pursuing an impact mission are more successful in driving change.* An example is the Brigade Bar and Bistro in London, which provides an excellent dining experience while training and empowering apprentices facing homelessness or mental health challenges.* Melanie's superpower is her belief in the inherent goodness of people and their ability to make a positive impact on the world.* To learn more about Melanie and her work, her book Lead Like a Genius is available on Lulu.com and Amazon, and she can be reached on LinkedIn or through the website Big Tree Global.How to Develop Belief in Change and the Goodness of People As a SuperpowerMelanie's beliefs empower her work. She cuts quickly to the point, saying, “I think if I didn't believe that we could make things different and that people are inherently good, I don't think I would have even pursued this path or stayed on this path because it's not definitely not been the easiest one.”Melanie offers a few tips for increasing your faith in humanity.Her first tip is to consider the news cautiously and include choices like Superpowers for Good in your news inputs.Second, she suggests focusing on inspiring examples of good people. Though seldom covered in the news, they are all around us and easy to find.Third, she encourages people to infuse their organizations with these examples, including the insights in her book and from her consulting and other work. She adds that your business will benefit just by getting a portion of the organization on board to start.By following Melanie's example and advice, you can increase your belief in the goodness of humanity and our collective ability to change things. In time, you may make this a superpower that empowers you to do more good in the world. Guest ProfileMelanie van de Velde (she/her): Founder & Author, Big Tree Global LtdAbout Big Tree Global Ltd: Author of LEAD LIKE A GENIUS: How to Outgrow the Competition & Transform Our World (to be published January ‘24); Supporting business leaders and MBA students to create a 200-400% better impact return in tackling our key global issues, as well as improved business growth, productivity and brand value.

In this edition of Madison Book Beat, host Andrew Thomas speaks with Nicole Fox about her monograph, After Genocide: Memory and Reconciliation in Rwanda (2021, The University of Wisconsin Press Press). How does a society move forward after the mass violence of genocide? What role do public memorials play in creating healing narratives ? Whose experiences get told and re-told, and whose experiences get marginalized as years go by? 2024 marks thirty years since the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, and scholar Nicole Fox provides insight into these questions based on years of interviews with survivors who now dedicate their time to working at and maintaining public memorials. Fox makes a powerful argument for conceptualizing memorials "as a form of restorative justice through their ability to provide information on past atrocities, facilitate localized reconciliation and educational programs, and give survivors a sense of hope for the future."Nicole Fox is an associate professor of criminal justice at California State University, Sacramento where she teaches about atrocity crimes, mass incarceration, global criminology and law. Her research centers on how racial and ethnic contention impacts communities, including how remembrances of adversity shape social change, collective memory and present-day social movements. Her book we're discussing today, After Genocide, focuses on how physical memorials to past atrocity shape healing, community development and reconciliation for survivors of genocide and genocidal rape.

Devin: could you just share with us what you see as your superpower?Nisha: I think my superpower is a bridge. I think that I was born a first-generation kid in America. I really was the bridge between the old world and the new. I served as the translator for my dad, who was very much coming to America to fulfill his American dream and yet not fluent in what is America. Me being raised here, I could be that translator. I could really see the different sides to a lot of different arguments. I think growing up feeling like an outsider and feeling like a misfit, I actually ended up fitting in everywhere.Nisha Anand, CEO of Dream.Org, is changing the world in ways some would have said are impossible. By building bridges across what many see as uncrossable chasms, she is leading change on her progressive agenda for social justice and climate change.Nisha is an extraordinary storyteller, so I encourage you to listen to this podcast. She relates stories of some of the 12 times she's been arrested! You won't want to miss anything, and I can't include all her stories in this write-up.She shared the story of helping to pass the First Step Act during the Trump Administration with help from former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich:Dream.org achieved a major win with the passage of the First Step Act, a federal bill that aimed to improve the criminal justice system. Nisha was initially skeptical about the possibility of bipartisan support for criminal justice reform. She soon realized, however, that red state governors and various conservative groups, such as fiscal conservatives and libertarians, were also interested in reform. With the help of Newt Gingrich, a former Speaker of the House and Republican representative, the organization worked towards a bipartisan coalition.Despite concerns that the election of President Trump would derail their efforts, Dream.org persevered, and the First Step Act was ultimately passed with support from both sides of the aisle. Over 20,000 people have been released from federal prison as a result of the bill. For Nisha, this achievement solidified the effectiveness of bipartisan collaboration in achieving lasting change.“I worked with Newt, worked with Trump, worked with all sorts of characters to get this passed,” Nisha says. “And that's just a first step. It laid the groundwork for a lot more to be possible than on the state level, with a lot of bills being passed after that.”“So it really did for me solidify that this way works,” she says. “When you have that many people for it, it's durable. It lasts. People don't want to reverse it.”As you can see, Nisha's superpower is bridgebuilding.AI Podcast Summary* Nisha Anand, CEO of Dream.org, was a guest on the Superpowers for Good show with Devin Thorpe.* Dream.org works on issues such as climate change, social justice, and tech, and uses a unique approach of radical inclusivity.* Anand has had success with civil disobedience but also acknowledges the importance of changing hearts and minds.* Her master's degree in international peace and conflict resolution has helped her in building bridges across the aisle.* Anand discusses her work on passing the First Step Act, a federal piece of legislation on criminal justice reform.* She learned that finding common ground on even just 2% of issues can lead to progress.* Anand believes that bridge-building is key to combating polarization in society.* Everyone can develop bridge-building skills by connecting with others on a human level and taking a more inclusive approach to their work.* Dream Corps tackles social justice issues through tech and innovation with campaigns such as Green For All and #cut50.* The conversation ended with a call to action to use our superpowers for good to make positive changes in the world.Nisha's success isn't just a matter of having built unlikely bridges, but the traffic that crosses them. Her impact is huge.She shares the story of another arrest that taught her important lessons about what has become her superpower.Nisha shares her experience of being arrested in Burma while participating in a protest to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of a pro-democratic uprising. She was part of an international delegation of 18 people from eight different countries, including six from the US. They were all arrested and sentenced to five years in jail, but their arrest was a well-coordinated action, and the news made front-page headlines worldwide. A US Congressional Representative, Chris Smith, flew to Thailand to help get them out, and Nisha had the opportunity to sit next to him on the flight back to the States. She had planned to convince him of her opinions, but instead, he opened up the conversation about human rights abuses in the world and asked for her thoughts.Nisha realized that building bridges and connecting through humanity is just as important as passionate activism. The experience was eye-opening for her and happened in 1998.“We had so much in common in human rights abuses, we never got to the stuff we didn't have in common,” Nisha says.Nisha offers some tips for developing skills like hers.“Anyone that has young children, you tell them to listen to respect, to be kind,” she says. “We tell our children these things, and yet we can't practice them ourselves.”We're actually quite good at peacebuilding, she says. We just ignore the relevance of the way we decide with a group what pizza to order or which movie to see. The same skills apply to solving climate change.If you follow Nisha's example and advice, you can enhance your peacebuilding and bridge-building skills. You may even turn them into superpowers you can use to do more good in the world.Guest-Provided ProfileNisha Anand (she/her):CEO, Dream.OrgAbout Dream.Org: At Dream.Org, we close prison doors and open doors of opportunity.

Sociology and Modern Social Problems

On episode 160, we welcome Erik Angner to discuss the utility of economics and why it's about much more than markets and spending, why it was once considered to be demonic and the racist history of its detractors, mitigating poverty with wealth redistribution, becoming better science communicators to tackle misinformation about policy proposals related to poverty and climate change, the benefits of a carbon tax, game theory and the need to create incentive structures to change bad behavior, the difference between pleasure and comfort and why the former is more conducive to long-term happiness, how to become rich through sensible strategies, teaching financial literacy, and how struggling and joy are inextricably linked. Erik Angner is Professor of Practical Philosophy at Stockholm University. He holds two PhDs – one in Economics and one in History and Philosophy of Science. He is the author of several books, Hayek and Natural Law (Routledge 2007) and A Course in Behavioral Economics, 3rd Ed. (Red Globe Press 2020), as well as multiple journal articles and book chapters on behavioral and experimental economics; the science and philosophy of happiness; and the history, philosophy, and methodology of contemporary economics. His most recent book, available now, is called How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Solutions to Solve Our Biggest Problems (Penguin 2023).   | Erik Angner | ► Website | https://www.erikangner.com ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/ErikAngner ► How Economics Can Save the World | https://amzn.to/3llgeHi   Where you can find us:| Seize The Moment Podcast | ► Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/SeizeTheMoment ► Twitter | https://twitter.com/seize_podcast ► Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/seizethemoment ► TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@seizethemomentpodcast ► Patreon | https://www.patreon.com/user?u=32208666  

Tina Sacks, PhD., is an associate professor in the School of Social Welfare at the University of California, Berkeley. Her fields of interest include racial inequities in health, social determinants of health, and poverty and inequality; in other words, how people's experience of being othered affects their overall well-being.  Tina's professional work emerges from her own experience of being othered as a mixed-raced person and member of the Black and Jewish community. At the core of her work is the idea that love is really what matters and that we must care for one another as humans. Tina reflects on her familial history and experience, discusses the roots of her focus on racial and gender inequities in healthcare, and proudly shares her sense of survivorship.

Jess K shares a pretty profound experience with JessB, and it all started with tearing down a vine off the side of her house.  The Two Jess(es) explore the possible meanings around Jess K's experience as she shares her inspired action, and how clearing out something physical, actually helped her clear out the spiritual, emotional, and mental clutter that we are all carrying too much of this time of year. Jess B shares some clarifying lessons she has learned over the past weeks as well, and they both share candidly about all the things they are overthinking about in this season of life and parenthood. And then it all circles back to the vine!Thanks to our sponsors this week!Lyssa Seward: https://www.ttrsir.com/eng/associate/279-a-3012-4043609/lyssa-sewardSupport the show

In this episode, we focus on DSM. We start with a bit of the history of Psychiatry, and how the first psychiatric diagnoses appeared. We talk about the creation of the DSM, and its cultural impact. We cover three interpretations of the DSM: scientific progress; harmful impacts; and the social perspective. We talk about how mental disorders are researched, and their characteristics. We get into the DSM-5, and its promises. We discuss the merits and shortcomings of a biological approach to mental disorders. Finally, we talk about the future of the DSM, its positive impact, and what should be changed. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

We are all citizens of the Biomedical Empire, though few of us know it, and even fewer understand the extent of its power. In this book, Barbara Katz Rothman clarifies that critiques of biopower and the "medical industrial complex" have not gone far enough, and asserts that the medical industry is nothing short of an imperial power. Factors as fundamental as one's citizenship and sex identity—drivers of our access to basic goods and services—rely on approval and legitimation by biomedicine. Moreover, a vast and powerful global market has risen up around the empire, making it one of the largest economic forces in the world.  In The Biomedical Empire: Lessons Learned from the COVID Pandemic (Stanford UP, 2021), Katz Rothman shows that biomedicine has the key elements of an imperial power: economic leverage, the faith of its citizens, and governmental rule. She investigates the Western colonial underpinnings of the empire and its rapid intrusion into everyday life, focusing on the realms of birth and death. This provides her with a powerful vantage point from which to critically examine the current moment, when the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the power structures of the empire in unprecedented ways while sparking the most visible resistance it has ever seen. Barbara Katz Rothman is Professor of Sociology, at the City University of New York. She has served as President of Sociologists for Women in Society; the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and the Eastern Sociological Society. Her awards include the Jesse Bernard Award of the American Sociological Association, and an award for "Midwifing the Movement" from the Midwives Alliance of North America, and a distinguished Chair in Health Sciences from the Fulbright Association. She is the author of numerous books, most recently A Bun in the Oven: How the Food and Birth Movements Resist Industrialization (2016). Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington, 2022). His general area of study is on media representations of people and place at festivals and celebrations. He is currently working on his next book where he conducted research on an annual canoeing and kayaking event that takes place on the Upper Mississippi River. To learn more about Michael O.

Clergy have a uniquely intimate place in the lives of people of faith: present at baptisms, weddings, sick beds, and funerals. They're with us when we're at our worst and at our best, and life's highs and lows. And while most clergy view this as a sacred trust with parishioners, others—as we have learned—sadly use that access and trust to abuse children.Anna Segura-Montagut, Ph.D., joins us to discuss a research study that moves beyond news accounts, books, and movies to explore critical questions when working with survivors of clergy abuse. How is survivors' belief in God affected by the abuse? And how does that impact resilience? How is their trust in institutions affected? How does that impact their access to the very social and community supports needed to heal from that abuse? And most importantly, how do we walk besides these survivors in their own healing journey even as we struggle with our own feelings about faith and faith communities?Topics in this episode:Research decisions (1:37)Similarities and differences (5:03)Impact on belief (9:43)Advice for child abuse professionals (15:25)Entrapment (18:19)Implications for clergy and the church (20:26)Future research (23:51)What survivors need (25:44)Reason to hope (31:17)Links:Anna Segura-Montagut, Ph.D., clinical psychologist; assistant research scientist, Family Translational Research Group at NYU Dentistry Center for Oral Health Policy and Management“An Exploratory Study on Mental Health, Social Problems and Spiritual Damage in Victims of Child Sexual Abuse by Catholic Clergy and Other Perpetrators,” N.

This week we talk with Sadé Lindsay, a Research Professor of Public Policy and Sociology at Cornell University and a W.E.B. Du Bois Fellow of the National Institute of Justice, about her work on people leaving prisons and trying to find employment. We discuss some of the credentials and work people do while in prison and how they may or may not leverage these when back in the community trying to find a job. We also discuss turning your dissertation into a publication.    Sadé has been published in journals such as Criminology and Social Problems. You can find her on Twitter @_SadeLindsay. 

 Ashley Frawley is hard at work revising her upcoming book "Significant Emotions: Rhetoric and Social Problems in a Vulnerable Age," and therefore this week, rather than interview an author from Sublation Magazine, Doug and Ashley will discuss the death of the subject, mindfulness, and emotions.  Significant Emotions by Ashley Frawleyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Significant-Emotions-Rhetoric-Problems-Vulnerable/dp/1350026794
