The death of Pope Francis is being felt around the world.

A sociology expert says the inequality is likely contributing to people leaving New Zealand in droves. New Stats NZ figures show New Zealand had an annual net migration gain of nearly 54,000 people in the year to August. The 134,000 departures are the highest on record — driven by more than 81,000 Kiwis heading offshore. Auckland University sociology professor Francis Collins told Francesca Rudkin we need to think about what kind of society we have. He says it's quite clear inequality has increased over the past few decades - evidenced by issues in the health system and housing unaffordability.

Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade.   A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid.   Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back.   But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply will just move to meet demand and the void will be filled.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Every Saturday, we revisit a story that's in the news again. This week, we're revisiting a global study that found a 4-day working week resulted in a high level of satisfaction on the part of both employers and employees.   This originally aired on May 31, 2023. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.  Are we on the verge of another workplace revolution? It's possible to work fewer hours and keep the same level of pay and productivity, according to results of the largest-ever trial of a four-day workweek held in the United Kingdom. Traditional work routines were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic, and there's increased demand for more flexible schedules. But in many parts of the world, even a five-day week is a luxury. So can a four-day workweek work for everyone?

"The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, "Shiny Happy People", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist Christian, aka "Fundie", minster), Christian Fundamentalism and topics identified in the series that they felt needed further exploring.This week Ash summarizes the first episode of Shiny Happy People, "Meet the Duggars". In this episode, "the shiny facade of America's favorite giant family, and the ministry that guided their conservative values, is shattered, revealing a troubling reality underneath." - Amazon PrimeFallon then tells Ash about "freak shows", and how, when and why they started. She also expands on Sociology Professor and Author Danielle Lindeman's idea that, "TLC is the home of many of today's 'modern day freak show' programs".

Rebuilding from the Ashes with T.K. Banner  A professor, motivational speaker, and best-selling author, Terri Banner Fitzsimmons (T.K.) has been in the field of education most of her adult life as a teacher of all grades and a Sociology Professor for twenty years.  Knowing first-hand how hard it is to return to school, T.K. has also served as director of an Independent Study Program, helping adults earn their diplomas, just like she did.  However, in 2018, T.K. faced the ultimate catastrophe when a massive wildfire raged through Paradise, California, the town she lived in, and she lost everything she had, including her identity.  Devastated but thankful to have survived, T.K. was inspired to put pen to paper and wrote about her incredible journey of hope and recovery in “Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.”  She would write one more book about the ordeal and give countless interviews about her ordeal.    Now residing near Palm Springs, California, Terri is thriving in retirement and continues to write.  Her latest book, “Best Friends,” is a compelling story of two friends on opposite sides of the country who fight for justice and is also her first attempt at writing a historical novel.  She also spends her days continuing to counsel women to help them achieve their passion in life.  Her goal is to help women break free of all the doubts they cling to that stop them from recognizing their worth.  Listen in as T.K. and I talk about educating others to pursue their goals and how losing everything helped her find her true purpose and way to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!    

When the "sharing economy" launched a decade ago, proponents claimed that it would transform the experience of work--giving earners flexibility, autonomy, and a decent income. It was touted as a cure for social isolation and rampant ecological degradation. But this novel form of work soon sprouted a dark side: exploited Uber drivers, neighborhoods ruined by Airbnb, racial discrimination, and rising carbon emissions. Several of the most prominent platforms are now faced with existential crises as they prioritize growth over fairness and long-term viability. Nevertheless, the basic model--a peer-to-peer structure augmented by digital tech--holds the potential to meet its original promises. Based on nearly a decade of pioneering research, After the Gig: How the Sharing Economy Got Hijacked and How to Win It Back (U California Press, 2021) dives into what went wrong with this contemporary reimagining of labor. The book examines multiple types of data from thirteen cases to identify the unique features and potential of sharing platforms that prior research has failed to pinpoint. Juliet B. Schor presents a compelling argument that we can engineer a reboot: through regulatory reforms and cooperative platforms owned and controlled by users, an equitable and truly shared economy is still possible. Juliet B. Schor is an American economist and Sociology Professor at Boston College. She has studied trends in working time, consumerism, the relationship between work and family, women's issues and economic inequality, and concerns about climate change in the environment. She is a New York Times bestselling author and the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Better Future Project.

Juliet Schor explores the urgent need to address the ecological crisis by fundamentally shifting our economic focus from growth to sustainability. Schor sheds light on the relationship between extreme inequality and climate breakdown, highlighting how unequal power structures prevent climate action. Drawing from her research, Schor argues for reduced work hours, increased leisure time, and a focus on community well-being as a practical and realistic alternative to the unsustainable growth-driven model of capitalism.

Have you ever thought about sports from a sociological perspective? Probably not, as I didn't think about it until I took a course at Covenant College entitled Sociology of Sport! This class completely challenged me as an athlete, and at times, it made me resent the professor because of what he was saying about the sports I loved to watch and play!But this course taught me how to look at sports from an entirely different lens, and shifted my gaze to see sports not as an idol in my life, but something that I love to do and glorify God through. The sociology of sport is something that we may never talk about as athletes, but it's worth having the conversation as it may help you as a Christian athlete. Dr. Matthew Vos, Professor of Sociology and Department Chair at Covenant College, comes on the show today to discuss how we can take a sociological perspective into athletics. Listen out for these key topics:The relationship between sociology and sportHarms of the 2022 FIFA World Cup "Sports build character"Pitfalls of youth athleticsThe good and bad sides of competitionRelating the sports that we love to our relationship with ChristCheck out our NEW website!Make sure to subscribe and follow the show!

Immigration experts are concerned a change to work rights for migrants' partners could put people off coming here. Until now, a partner could get an open work visa. But a change going ahead next month will only allow partners of green list workers to do that. Couples will instead have to find accredited employers to sponsor applications for each of them, or have a partner who can visit but not work. Sociology professor Paul Spoonley told Kate Hawkesby most migrants come with partners or families. He's puzzled as to why the barrier is there and believes it'll be a disincentive.

An expert says low immigration numbers have contributed to a population decline in most regions. StatsNZ figures show populations declined in Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, West Coast, and Southland in the year to June. Internal migration, people moving around the country, is the main driver of population change in 12 of the 16 regions. Massey University sociology professor, Paul Spoonley says more people are beginning to leave New Zealand, rather than arrive. He says if you look back at our population, the number of births have declined and we've increasingly relied on migrants. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HELD OVER FROM LAST WEEK... The Rise of White Christian Nationalism DR. SAMUEL PERRY Award-Winning Scholar, Sociology Professor, Author, Contributor to the Report to the January 6th Select Committee DR. SAMUEL L. PERRY An award-winning scholar and teacher, Dr. Samuel L. Perry is among the nation's leading experts on conservative Christianity and American politics, race, sexuality and families. Along with numerous articles published in leading academic journals, Dr. Perry has also authored or co-authored four books, including GROWING GOD'S FAMILY: The Global Orphan Care Movement and the Limits of Evangelical Activism (NYU, 2017), ADDICTED TO LUST: Pornography in the Lives of Conservative Protestants (Oxford, 2019), TAKING AMERICA BACK FOR GOD:  Christian Nationalism in the United States (Oxford, 2020; co-authored with Andrew Whitehead) and the forthcoming THE FLAG + THE CROSS: White Christian Nationalism and the Threat to American Democracy (Oxford, 2022; co-authored with Philip Gorski). Dr. Perry is currently working on a book about how the scientific study of religion benefits all of society and another book about how culture wars and consumer markets shape English bibles. Dr. Perry is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma. A bracing examination of a force that imperils American democracy Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation's Capitol Building on January 6th. And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; "Jesus saves" and "Don't Tread on Me;" Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus' name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble, Philip Gorski and Samuel Perry saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism. White Christian nationalism motivates the anti-democratic, authoritarian and violent impulses on display in our current political moment. The future of American democracy, Gorski and Perry argue, will depend on whether a broad spectrum of Americans — stretching from democratic socialists to classical liberals — can unite in a popular front to combat the threat to liberal democracy posed by white Christian nationalism.

Dr. Nate Chapman is a Sociology Professor at Arkansas Tech University and is on the show to discuss his recent book: Beer and Racism: How Beer Became White, Why It Matters, and the Movements to Change It (Sociology of Diversity). Beer in the United States has always been bound up with race, racism, and the construction of white institutions and identities. Given the very quick rise of craft beer, as well as the myopic scholarly focus on economic and historical trends in the field, there is an urgent need to take stock of the intersectional inequalities that such realities gloss over. This unique book carves a much-needed critical and interdisciplinary path to examine and understand the racial dynamics in the craft beer industry and the popular consumption of beer.  Thank you for taking the time to come on and share you research with us, Nate!

“The more I ran, the more questions I started to ask about this space. When I would run, I never saw anyone who looked like me. I am an African American woman. I lived in a neighborhood that is not African-American and is a predominantly white and Latinx population. Running in the neighborhood I started to wonder, ‘Do black women run? Do other African American people run? Because I’m not seeing them. I knew I couldn’t be the only person to run. This kind of peaked my curiosity and the questions that I had about this space.” Tiffany Chenault is a sociology professor at Salem State University and the Black Girls Run Boston chapter leader.

Ruth Milkman is a sociologist of labor and labor movements, and Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center and at the Joseph S. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies. We examine the role of unions for workers, the main factors of de-unionization, and the potential leadership by millennials in this space. It’s safer to speak up as a group: The purpose of unions is to give workers a collective voice in relation to their employers. They also negotiate contracts and collective bargaining agreements, and promote and defend workers’ concerns in the public and political spheres. Factors that led to the decline of unionization: Employer opposition is at the heart of the de-unionization. They have successfully mounted a series of direct attacks against them, such as double breasting in the construction industry. Two other big factors are the decline of manufacturing and deregulation. The time to engage is now: Many workers experience precarious labor conditions, such as in retail, where they often don’t know their schedule from week to week and they don’t know how many hours they will end up working. Teachers in non-union states are striking instead of collectively bargaining, which is more disruptive than organizing.

The Federal Governments decision to replace the 2011 Canadian mandatory Census long form with a voluntary “National Household Survey” has been a hotly debated issue since Canada's minister of industry Tony Clement announced the change earlier this summer. Despite widespread criticism and weak public support for the change, it appears likely that the Harper Government will follow through on their controversial plan. In the past, the mandatory Canadian Census has been held every five years with 80 percent of the households receiving the short form and 20 percent the long form. Under the new proposal, all households would receive the mandatory Census short form and one month later, one third of those would be asked to voluntarily complete the long form survey. The speakers will explain the importance of the Census long form information and evaluate the possible consequences of the voluntary vs. mandatory aspect of the proposed changes, regarding both near and long term. Speakers: Susan McDaniel and Heidi MacDonald Dr. Susan McDaniel is the Prentice Research Chair in Global Population and Economy, Director of the Prentice Institute and Sociology Professor at the University of Lethbridge. She relocated to Lethbridge in the summer of 2009 from the University of Utah where she was Professor and Senior Investigator in the Institute for Public & International Affairs. Dr. McDaniel is an internationally known sociologist/social demographer, the author of many books and research articles. She is a frequent advisor on social and science policies both in Canada and elsewhere. Dr. McDaniel also serves on the National Statistics Council of eminent Canadians which advises the federal government on data collection/analysis. She has advised on the Census for almost two decades. Dr. Heidi MacDonald has served as a History Professor at the University of Lethbridge since 1999 and was Chair of the History Department from 2004-09. She is currently a member of the University of Lethbridge Board of Governors. Dr. MacDonald received her PhD in History from the University of New Brunswick in 2000.
