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? This episode's guest argues that the U.S. school system is where children are first introduced to racial hierarchies and that these normalized beliefs solidify in many institutions like healthcare, employment, policing and more.

Ewing joins The Excerpt to discuss her new book “Original Sins: The (Mis)education of Black and Native Children and the Construction of American Racism.” It is out on bookshelves now.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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. Tune in and learn how adopting the principle of patience can radically shape your worldBusiness spotlight: Kona Kitchen (IG: konakitchen)Want to sow into this vision of this podcast? Click here!

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.

Du Bois was one of the most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. The first African-American Ph.D. from Harvard University, Du Bois died in Ghana after having renounced his American citizenship. In between he co-founded the NAACP and wrote The Souls of Black Folk (1903) as well as a number of other influential books that had a decisive impact on the development of African-American culture in the twentieth century. John and Ken discuss Du Bois' life and thought with Lucius Outlaw from Vanderbilt University, author of "On Race and Philosophy."

  On today's show we speak with Dan Kovalik about the inauguration of Nicholas Maduro as the president of Venezuela over the objections of the US State Department.  Then we'll take a closer look at the marriage between Artificial Intelligence and government surveillance and the narrowing prospects for privacy in the future.  Finally,  we end with a conversation with the renowned historian and sociologist Michael Mann whose work includes the 4 volume series The Sources of Social Power, and books such as Incoherent Empire, The Darkside of Democracy and his latest entitled On War. The post In Conversation With Renowned Historian & Sociologist Michael Mann appeared first on KPFA.

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

2024, a year of big elections and big sporting occasions. Google ‘Year in Search' results reveal what Ireland searched for in 2024. We asked what did it reveal with Evelyn Mahon, Sociologist.

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.

I met Dr. Nicola, an English expat, just a couple of weeks ago, but I'd been hearing about her - and her groundbreaking book detailing the forgotten history of women's involvement in the cocktail's evolution, especially in the home - for quite a while, since before the book came out, in fact. We say down for a nice long chat about what it's like for expats like us to have American kids, how university is mostly about networking now and not education, how women cleverly got themselves a seat at the table by recreating the amenities of a men's club for their husbands, including cocktails, why clients abuse research and then create stupid liquor brands, how English sarcasm falls flat in America, running focus groups, the birth of singles bars, the art of assembling good guests for a party, the future of hosting, why introverts will always check out your photos or bookshelves first if you invite them round for a party, and a whoooole lot more.Enjoy!Dr. Nice on IG: https://www.instagram.com/nicola.niceDr. Nice's website: https://www.nicolanice.com/Dr. Nice's new project The Hostess Diaries: https://www.thehostessdiaries.com/Buy The Cocktail Parlor online from an independent bookstore: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-cocktail-parlor-how-women-brought-the-cocktail-home-nicola-nice/20073879?ean=9781682688717 Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things than their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is, for a few hours.

We've covered climate change and environmental causes on Looking Outside, focused on the innovation that's helping to create new solves for existing problems. On this episode, we're exploring the topic of environmental action from a human perspective, looking at what sociology and the study of historical patterns of collective human behavior can tell us about how we're reacting to, and in some cases rebelling against, the issue of climate change today. To do this, we're joined by social scientist Dr Dana R. Fisher, Director of the Center for Environment, Community, & Equity (CECE) and a Professor in the School of International Service at American University. Dana has studied and written about the combined relationship of social and environmental change for over two decades.----------More:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comMore on this episodeWatch the interview on YouTube @lookingoutsideDana R.

Sociologist and author of the book Poverty by America, Mathew Desmond, broke down in an interview with Bloomberg why there is indeed so much poverty in America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How can the United States be the home of widespread, debilitating poverty while simultaneous being one of the wealthiest countries on Earth? This is the question that confronts readers early in sociologist Matthew Desmond's new book, Poverty, By America. We must look beyond the poor to answer this questions, Desmond writes. To understand the causes of poverty, Americans living lives of privilege and plenty must examine themselves. Desmond joins Midday to talk about his book, and the ways the country's affluent keep poor people poor.

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.

Sociologist, and sexual violence researcher, Dr. Nicole Bedera, discusses her new book, On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. The book is a must-read, and Dr. Bedera's research often spills over into conversations on social media — like a recent thread in which she unpacks how the implicit thread of sexual violence, has seeped into political rhetoric — and it's employed in a way that's both racist, and sexist.

We'd love to hear from you! Take our quick audience survey here. Corey Keyes is a sociologist and professor emeritus at Emory University. He studies how people find satisfaction in their lives, and why achieving a sense of well-being is no easy feat.  On this week's episode of Everyday Better, Corey joins Leah to discuss his research on languishing, flourishing and how to move from one to the other. Corey argues that good mental health isn't just the absence of mental illness but the presence of well-being. He also explains the concept of “functioning well” and why working towards that is more important than chasing happiness.  Follow Leah Smart on LinkedIn. Follow Corey Keyes on LinkedIn. For more tips on how to move out of languishing and into flourishing, check out Corey's book, Languishing: How to Feel Alive Again in a World That Wears Us Down.

“I was very interested in the unspoken thoughts and feelings of the patient because I think one of the things about free association is that in the beginning most of what's going on with the patient is unsaid.  As the analysis evolves more and more of the unspoken becomes spoken and more of it becomes at the center of the analytic space. I wanted to show the evolution of the unsaid. At the beginning of the book, the unsaid is more than the said, and then it evolves as the analysis goes on.”    Episode Description: We begin discussing Roberta's first career as a sociologist which she described as an effort to disengage from her self-focused ruminations. She pursued psychoanalytic training after receiving her PhD in sociology. She also continued as a writer of both fiction and non-fiction. Both genres represented her personal as well as other-oriented reflections. Her book Our Time is Up is likewise a combined memoir and novel – she both is and isn't the young woman 'Rose' whose analysis with ‘Joan' forms the essence of this work. She reads sections from the book that describe her first meeting with her analyst as well as when the analyst's illness is introduced into their treatment. The book concludes with 'Rose' saying, “Frida Kahlo said about Diego Rivera, ‘He took me shattered and returned me in one piece, whole.' I could say the same thing about Joan.”     Our Guest: Roberta Satow is a practicing psychoanalyst in Washington, CT; a senior member of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis and Professor Emerita of Sociology at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. In addition to her non-fiction books Gender and Social Life and Doing the Right Thing: Taking Care of Your Elderly Parents Even if They Didn't Take Care of You, she has written two novels, Two Sisters of Coyoacan and Our Time is Up. Dr. Satow also writes blogs on Psychology Today and psychology.net.   Recommended Readings:   Roberta Satow, Our Time is Up, IPBooks, 2024. Roberta Satow, Two Sisters of Coyoacan, 2017.
