Today, a talk given by Harmel Academy's President and Co-Founder, Brian Black. Brian gave this talk this fall in Traverse City, Michigan to a charitable organization named Martinus. In it, Brian does a deep dive into the meaning of work, and if you're interested in taking a look at the philosophical DNA of Harmel, if you want to spend some time examining movement and gears of the cloak that is this Academy, this is the talk for you.

The guest today on Working Man is Dr. DC Schindler. Dr. Schindler is Professor of Metaphysics and Anthropology at the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family at the Catholic University of America. Dr Schindler is has written many book and articles, and he is renown for, among other things, his work on Swiss theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar, postmodern thought, and more recently, the philosophy of work. On today's episode, we discuss the philosophy of work, the dangers technology can pose to how we think about our work, Matthew Crawford's excellent book, Shop Class as Soul Craft, and the first step to finding God in your work. Also, our last guest on Working Man, Dr. Jordan Ballor, has very generously donated copies of two of his books for a podcast giveaway. The first is Makers of Modern Christian Social Thought: Leo XIII and Abraham Kuyper on the Social Question. And the second is Get Your Hands Dirty: Essays on Christian Social Thought (and Action). Dr. Ballor has offered to inscribe them and send them to ten lucky listeners for free. (FREE BOOKS, YO!) So here's how you can win one of these books: STEP ONE: Hop over to Apple Podcasts and Working Man a review. (Be honest with us. If you hate it, and give us half a star—that won't affect your chances. If you love it, and give us all the stars, but that won't affect your chances either.) STEP TWO: Sign up for our Newsletter at HarmelAcademy.org. When you sign up, be sure to include: YOUR APPLE REVIEW HANDLE and YOUR ADDRESS so we can mail you the book. (If you are already signed up for our newsletter, just the contact form on our website to tell us you've reviewed us and to leave us your address). The first ten folks to complete these two steps will win one of these two books. So thank you very much Dr. Ballor.

As many of you know, Working Man is the official podcast of Harmel Academy of the Trades, and as some of you may also know, we are located on the campus of Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, MI. Now, Harmel Academy is a Catholic school, and Kuyper College is a reformed school, and so you may be wondering how that works.  Well, one way of getting into that conversation is to talk about Kuyper College's namesake, the Reformed theologian Abraham Kuyper. And on today's show, we have just the fella to help us do that.  Beside being an old friend of mine, Dr. Jordan Ballor is a reformed theologian who edited the volume “Makers of Modern Christian Social Thought: Leo XIII and Abraham Kuyper on the Social Question”.  Pope Leo XIII is often regarded as the father of modern Catholic Social Thought, and so I've asked Dr. Ballor to reflect on some of the significant points of overlap between Leo XIII and Kuyper. Today's show gets Catholic chocolate in Reformed peanut butter and Reformed peanut butter in Catholic chocolate, but if you think this is somehow going to be an exercise in dull theological speculation, you've got another thing coming.  And there's even a brief appearance of boxing legend Mike Tyson (in reference, if not in actuality).

The history of fake identities is tightly interwoven with the rise of the internet - the free and open space where you could be anyone you wanted to be. What role did - and do - artists play in this? How do they develop and manifest characters online? Early net artist Martine Neddam has been creating online fake personas that work with public feedback since 1996, far before the establishment of social media. Mouchette, David Still, Xiao Qian are all characters that she created anonymously. This edition of Cultural Matter 2019-20, the audience will get to know the online curator Madja Edelstein-Gomez. The work of Neddam and Edelstein-Gomez will act as a starting point for further reflection on online identity and user feedback - and will be placed in an art historical and socio-political context. Madja Edelstein-Gomez Madja Edelstein-Gomez (1960, Montevideo, Uruguay) is an independent curator who has curated several large thematic exhibitions (Bangalore, Buenos Aires, Prague, Tbilisi, Toronto). Edelstein-Gomez currently lives in Kuala Lumpur and Paris. She is also an activist working with several NGOs. Edelstein-Gomez created a manifesto and a group exhibition that revolves around the Recombinant, a concept where artificial intelligence and artists meet. Madja Edelstein-Gomez is the collaborative creation of Martine Neddam, Emmanuel Guez and Zombectro. Martine Neddam Martine Neddam is an artist, researcher and teaches at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She uses language as raw material for her art, and many of her works center on the phenomena of speech acts, approaches to communication as well as to language and writing in public space. She has been working with virtual characters since 1996, the first and most famous one being Mouchette, a fictive thirteen-year-old that has meanwhile acquired cult status. Neddam’s virtual personae function as communications tools such that they have already facilitated the exchange between human beings via the medium of the artistic figure, and thereby anticipated the functionality of social media. Diana McCarty Independent media producer and feminist media activist Diana McCarty is a founding editor of reboot.fm, the award winning free artists’ radio in Berlin; a co-founder of the radio networks Radia Network (radia.fm) and 24/3 FM Radio Network Berlin; and of the FACES (faces-I) online community for women, among other initiatives. She co-initiated the exhibition Nervous Systems: Quantified Life and the Social Question, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, 2016, Berlin, and actively collaborates with the experimental media project Luta ca caba inda. As a cyberpunk in the 1990s, she was active in independent internet culture with nettime, the MetaForum conference series, and different hacking spaces. Her work revolves around art, gender, politics, radical feminism, technology, and media. McCarty is a BAK Fellow 2019/2020. Cultural Matter Cultural Matter is a series of exhibitions and events that provide a platform for the international discussion of digital art and aims to develop new strategies for the presentation and preservation of these artworks. Also part of the Cultural Matter series: JODI, Jonas Lund, Rafaël Rozendaal, Amalia Ulman, Thomson & Craighead. Curated by: Sanneke Huisman and Jan Robert Leegte.

I am far from perfect but "professional, as always" was a comment made about me by a patient. It has become my new standard of excellence. In this episode I talk about professionalism as a combination of a physicians competency, character, and consistency. Most of the ideas I steal from here  Kennedy RG.

In this heated debate we finally settle, this very important, decades long debate.We are Implicitly Biased. Implicit bias: this is an unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group.Join us on this journey of understanding our own implicit bias(es) and through friendship, and empathy, come to an understanding, that we are all in this together, no matter our differences.

Brenda Elsey and Joshua Nadel's new book, Futbolera: A History of Women and Sports in Latin America (University of Texas Press, 2019), uncovers the hidden history of the arrival of physical education for girls in the late-nineteenth century, it's expansion beyond schools, and the subterranean struggles of girls and women to play and expand access and support for sports across Latin America. While sports has often been sidelined in histories of gender, class, nationalism, and the so-called Social Question in the region, Elsey and Nadel show how women's involvement in sports animated eugenic debates over healthy citizens, nationalism, and proper motherhood in government, the Church, and the press. Beginning with women's sports clubs in schools and moving to charity events, informal play, and regional leagues, women began to take up previously denied national and international pastimes much earlier than previously acknowledged. With women's sports facing opposition, underfunding, neglect, silence, and outright outlawing (in the case of futbol in Brazil) throughout the twentieth century and up to the current World Cup, the authors show how generations of women athletes' struggles and memories wove together a vibrant history of play, competition, and resilience. Despite the title, the book explores women's involvement in tennis, track, gymnastics, basketball, and futbol (soccer), and medical and media debates over which activities were “properly” or “improperly” feminine for women's psychology, bodies, and futures as mother's. It covers case studies in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. Jesse Zarley will be an assistant professor of history at Saint Joseph's College on Long Island, where in Fall 2019 he will be teaching Latin American, Caribbean, and World History. His research interests include borderlands, ethnohistory, race, and transnationalism during Latin America's Age of Revolution, particularly in Chile and Argentina.

Written and Narrated by Joshua Noyer The manner in which political institutions have transformed to resemble the lowest common denominator as seen in social media has been fully realized through the reliance on 5-second soundbites and marketing gimmicks, which have come to define contemporary politics. https://www.americanblackshirts.com/single-post/2018/09/18/The-Problem-With-Categorical-Thought-and-the-Social-Question

Special Weekend Edition of NCWWD!!! Talking about the late great Michael Jackson, impersonators, Aaron Rodgers & Odell's big pay day, Social Question of the week, these BAD BUTT CHILLREN, and the SOTW from the crew. TUNE IN, AND GET READY FOR THE RANDOMNESS!!!

Thomas Faist shows how the 'transnational social question' relates to political conflicts around the inequalities connected to cross-border migration in immigration and emigration contexts On a world scale, distress and social instability are reminiscent of the social inequalities that obtained in a large part of nineteenth-century Europe. At that time the 'social question' was the central subject of extremely volatile political conflicts between the ruling classes and working-class movements. Are we now on the verge of a new social conflict, this time on a cross-border scale, characterised by manifold boundaries – such as those between capital and labour, North and South, developed and underdeveloped or developing countries? Looking at cross-border migration, this lecture exemplifies crucial mechanisms resulting in the reproduction of old inequalities and the emergence of new inequalities. The lecture shows how the 'transnational social question' relates to political conflicts around the inequalities connected to cross-border migration in immigration and emigration contexts. Among the processes relevant for the understanding of the transnational social question are marketisation, securitisation, and developmentalism.

A lot has changed since the day when evangelical Protestants were faulted for being other-worldly, detached from politics and social issues. Today they seem to be one of the most publicly active groups in America. One of the most important figures in leading this change was Carl Henry. A founder the National Association of Evangelicals, of Fuller Theological Seminary, and later of Christianity Today, Henry was something of an archbishop, if not a pope, in the new evangelicalism that arose across the 1950s and ‘60s, and he made it clear that Christian social engagement was a biblical command. Yet the social engagement that Henry called for was quite partial and inadequate. That, at least, is the charge Lewis Smedes leveled in his article “Evangelicals and the Social Question,” which appeared in the Reformed Journal in February 1966.
