     Slam the Gavel podcast welcomes back Attorney Christine Miller. Christine was last on Season 5, Episodes 121 and 133. Today we discussed the massive coverage of the case of Judge Ogden finally recusing herself during a custody dispute when she should have done so earlier in the case when her own divorce attorney was representing the litigant. Christine has covered this case on her TIkTok @kentuckychristine. Susan Bassi picked up this story as well.  This circus needs to stop, as it generating personality disorders upon the children in their lives they are disrupting.     We also talked about Mr. Henry's case as he represents himself Pro Se. He had sole custody of his daughter after Mom's boyfriend shot their daughter and didn't report this until 15 hours later. Judge Ogden handled this case. Now the Mother has custody. This case needs more media attention. Does the media even care about what actually happens in Family Court and what happens to families?? We also discussed Dr. Russell's case and how it should be picked up by Netflix.   There have been several articles written in the Boston Globe regarding Family Court as well as the Denver Gazette.To Reach Attorney Christine Miller: TikTok: @kentuckychristine and email: millertimelouisville@gmail.com and on YouTube: @itsmillertimeLouisville***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Key services are lagging behind in Canterbury's Selwyn district as it tries to cope with exponential population growth. Stats NZ data shows it remains the fastest growing district in the country, with 3200 new arrivals in the year to June. Rolleston and Lincoln experienced the biggest jumps, at 9.6% and 8.1% respectively. Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking Selwyn falls behind when it comes to infrastructure. For example, he says that of the 20-odd primary schools with more than 700 students, five of them are in Selwyn. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

KAZU's Elena Neale-Sacks spoke with Steve McKay to make sense of this moment and what it means for the Monterey Bay area.

Martin Conway, Camilo Erlichman, Fabio Wolkenstein, Julia Hofmann, Eva Maria MuschikDEMISE OF A DREAM? SOCIAL JUSTICE PAST AND PRESENTToday, we live in a time of a post-liberal challenge to social justice. Over much of the twentieth century, social justice has been closely associated with liberal democracy, with its claims included, in one way or another, in the political programmes of all democratic parties and movements. The expansion of social justice into the rhetoric of both the political right and left, however, has led to the universalization of social justice claims, and its promises have become an essential part of the ways in which illiberal movements and authoritarian regimes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have constructed their legitimacy. What can this history teach us to face the challenges of today more effectively? Here, historians will discuss the modern evolution of concepts and practices of social justice in conversation with social scientists, engaging with questions such as: What have historically proven to be successful forms of collective mobilization around issues of social justice in both democracies and authoritarian regimes? Do individual appeals to social justice matter? What languages does social justice speak? How was social justice reimagined during the twentieth century? Does the debate and concept of social justice in the twentieth century differ from today?The talk and discussion occur on the occasion of the release of Social Justice in Twentieth-Century Europe (Cambridge U Press, 2024), edited by Martin Conway and Camilo Erlichman and written by an international team of leading historians. The book provides the first historical account of the evolution of notions of social justice across Europe since the late nineteenth century. It analyses the often divergent ways in which political movements, state institutions, intellectual groups, and social organisations have understood and sought to achieve social justice. Martin Conway, Professor of Contemporary European History at the University of OxfordCamilo Erlichman, Assistant Professor in History at the Department of History, Maastricht UniversityFabio Wolkenstein, Associated Professor, Department of Political Science, University of ViennaJulia Hofmann, Sociologist, Chamber of Labour, ViennaModeration: Eva-Maria Muschik, Assistant Professor in Development Studies, University of Vienna A joint event of the Bruno Kreisky Forum and the MSCA Research Project WORK-AGE-JUST

Are schools providing the best education possible for all their students?

In this episode of Specimen the Sociologist, Jessamyn Reichmann dives into the power of patience! She argues that patience is the tension between who you are and who you're becoming, and it's through this struggle that true intimacy is built—within yourself and with others. Jessamyn discusses patience's arch-nemesis—frustration—and how frustration shows up in our social behavior. She explains how we can leverage frustration with the tool of patience to become a more refined version of ourselves.

What happens when we take ACTION to find joy, connection and inspiration? From taking a vacation to going to see live theatre to getting emotionally invested in the livelihood of a bald eagle family (May is obsessed!), these are just some of the ways we are finding light in the darkness. But that's not to say May, Kelly and Tamlyn are ignoring the reality of what's happening around us. The key is to find the humanity in our stories, in art, in history, in nature, in life. And when we come together to share these experiences it's called "Collective Effervescence", a concept coined by Sociologist Émile Durkheim, to describe the feeling of intense shared emotional activation and a sense of unison that emerges when people come together and engage in a shared activity or experience. So join MKT in this episode as we share Collective Effervescence together. Show Notes:"Here there are blueberries" tickets (runs until 3/30/25thewallis.org"Cambodian Rock Band" tickets (runs until 3/23/25)eastwestplayers.org Please subscribe, rate and review us!And follow us on IG @shoesoffinsidemkt

A sociologist isn't worried about net migration inching closer to zero. New Stats NZ data shows there was an annual net migration gain of around 32,000 in the year to January, down on December. Migrant departures also rose 18% to almost 123,000 in that time, the highest on record for an annual period. But Massey University's Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking we don't know about the skills of those departing. He says we also need to ask if we're also seeing unskilled and semi-skilled workers leaving and therefore exporting part of our unemployment rate.

Juno frames adoption as the simple alternative to abortion—but is that really the case? In this bonus episode, Dr. Gretchen Sisson returns to answer more of our biggest questions about adoption, including why adoption isn't the “solution” it's often made out to be, how birth mothers experience relinquishment, and what her research for Relinquished uncovered about the realities of adoption in the U.S. Mentioned in this episode: "Juno": Adoption Politics and Teen Pregnancy Tropes (Rom-Com Vom) CONNECT WITH US Instagram: @sexedwithdbpodcast TikTok: @sexedwithdbTwitter: @sexedwithdbThreads: @sexedwithdbpodcast YouTube: Sex Ed with DB ROM-COM VOM SEASON 11 SPONSORS: Lion's Den, Uberlube, Magic Wand, & Arya.

Juno is arguably the most well-known depiction of adoption in pop culture... but what messages does it really send about relinquishment, teen pregnancy, and reproductive justice? Is adoption truly the “perfect alternative” to abortion as Juno would have us believe, or does this charmingly complicated 2007 film gloss over the realities of birth mothers and family separation? This week, we're joined by Dr. Gretchen Sisson, sociologist and author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, to break down Juno's thorny politics on choice, motherhood, and adoption. GUEST DETAILS Gretchen Sisson, Ph.D., is a qualitative sociologist studying abortion and adoption at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at University of California, San Francisco. Her research was cited in the Supreme Court's dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

In a recent project based in Scarborough, Ontario, Black youth are teaching their communities about their rights, justice and the law using hip hop. The organization RISE offered a Legal Art-ivism program where participants learned about the law, and then developed musical and artistic performances that shared that knowledge using forms that were accessible and engaging to their peers. Sociologist and PhD Candidate Anna Lippman from York University spent time researching the program and its outcomes for the Black youth involved.

Are you feeling disconnected in your relationship, particularly in the realm of sexual desire? Many couples struggle with mismatches in sexual needs and desire levels, leading to feelings of frustration, guilt, and even rejection. This disconnection can strain relationships, making intimacy seem like an elusive goal instead of a fulfilling part of life. But what if there were ways to bridge that gap and reignite the flame, regardless of societal pressures and personal insecurities? In this episode, we delve deep into the complexities of sexual desire within relationships. We explore the psychological, physiological, and emotional factors contributing to low desire and how cultural expectations shape our intimate lives. We offer practical advice on communicating about sexual mismatches, utilizing mindfulness to enhance connection and the importance of understanding different desire patterns. Whether you're dealing with the impacts of medication, past trauma, or shifting dynamics over time, this conversation provides insights and tools to create a more passionate and connected relationship.

Conversations is bringing you a summer treat — a collection of Richard's most memorable guests through out the years. After a cruel and abusive childhood and an adulthood full of unemployment and homelessness, Gregory Smith decided to step out of society and into the solitary life of a hermit, living in the elements in a forest in Northern NSW. Gregory is an academic in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at Southern Cross University in New South Wales.He recently completed his PhD highlighting the experiences of children raised in institutional care.For much of his adulthood Gregory was homeless; and by his own admission, a 'do not approach' figure.For ten years he lived as a hermit in a forest in northern NSW, catching his own food.After decades of life on the margins, he now has a place of his own, and is a popular teacher.Gregory's childhood, in and out of orphanages, boys' homes and youth detention centres, made getting a foothold in regular society a massive challenge.This episode of Conversations contains discussions about child abuse, orphanages, boys homes, child psychology, sociopaths, homelessness, unemployment, hermit, solitude, forests, rainforest, New South Wales, NSW, recluse, sociology, university, relationships, memoirs, autobiographies, Southern Cross Univerity, PHD, Order of Australia. 

In today's episode of Specimen the Sociologist, titled "N95," we explore Erving Goffman's dramaturgical theory, which examines how we, as individuals, take on curated roles to navigate the complexities of social interactions. Goffman's insights reveal that much of our behavior is a performance, shaped by societal expectations. By the end of this episode, we hope to inspire you to question the roles you've adopted and remove the "mask" that may be hiding your most authentic self.

In 'We Have Never Been Woke,' sociologist Musa al-Gharbi argues the so-called “woke elite” pursue two conflicting desires – to be elite and egalitarian. But the desire to be elite always wins, hurting the communities they vow to help.

On this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about the concept of Kinkeeping. Kinkeeping is a term brought into modern consciousness by Sociologist, Caroline Rosenthal in 1985 in an article called "Kinkeeping in the Familial Division of Labor".  ”Kinkeepers play an important role in maintaining family cohesion and continuity. Their efforts contribute significantly to the family's social capital, providing emotional support and a sense of belonging to family members.” Kinkeeping: ·      Helps extended family members of stay in touch with one another. ·       Facilitates the transfer of family, traditions, values, and histories from one generation to the next.·      Fosters the well-being of the familial unit.Kinkeeping activities include: writing letters, telephone calls, visiting, sending gifts, caregiving, providing financial help.  Kinkeeping is largely the role of women or the feminine in relationship and is seen as unpaid labor.   We always love to hear from you, reach out:https://www.instagram.com/anotherwaytoseeitpodcast/Support our show:   https://www.buzzsprout.com/1694878/supporters/new Coaches: Kim Moranhttps://www.kimmorancoaching.com/https://www.instagram.com/kimcalifornia/ Tracy Holemeyerhttps://www.uncontrollablyme.com/https://www.instagram.com/uncontrollably_me/ Produced by: Kim MoranMusic: A Rush of Inspiration by Evan Mac Donald Support the show

What purpose does “wokeness” really serve? Is it a way of thinking that helps lift up marginalized groups? Or is it a convenient way for elites to pay lip service to social justice while maintaining the status quo that benefits them? This week, I'm joined by sociologist Musa al-Gharbi to discuss his new book We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions Of A New Elite. In addition to distilling his ideas about wokeness as “cover for elites,” we talk about Musa's love for French theorists, the value of his community college education, and the culture shock he experienced when arriving at Columbia University. We also explore whether women are overrepresented in elite workplaces and how this might affect perceptions of gender inequality and male dominance. GUEST BIO Musa al-Gharbi is a sociologist and assistant professor in the School of Communication and Journalism at Stony Brook University. His research primarily focuses on the political economy of knowledge production and the “social life” of scholarly and journalistic outputs. He is a columnist for The Guardian, and his writing has also appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Atlantic, among other publications. al-Gharbi's first book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, was published by Princeton University Press in October 2024.

United States history is often portrayed more through myth than historical fact. The true story of America, from its founding rebellion to the present day, is extraordinarily complex. The truth can sometimes seem almost unimaginable due to the numerous injustices and inequities throughout its history. Despite the ideals expressed by the nation's founders in the Preamble to the Constitution—to form “a more perfect Union,” establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure liberty for future generations—America's creation was rooted in systems of class and caste. As discussed in this episode of the Influence Continuum, the idea of a fair system initially created to be accessible to all is an aspect of that founding myth.  Charles Derber, a Professor of Sociology at Boston College and life-long activist has authored 28 books on topics such as politics, democracy, fascism, corporations, capitalism, climate change, war, culture wars, and social change. In this episode of the Influence Continuum, he helped us delve deeper into the historical dynamics of class and caste. His latest book, co-authored with Yale R. Magrass, Who Owns Democracy? The Real Deep State and the Struggle Over Class and Caste in America presents a candid discussion about the hard truths of power and who predominantly bears the burden or responsibility of the deep state. This was a fascinating hour with a true scholar.  Learn more about Steven Hassan and Freedom of Mind Resource Center. Visit freedomofmind.com Learn more about your ad choices.
