In Part 2 of our interview with Steven Thrasher, chair of social justice in reporting at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, we get an update on his book, The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide.
Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ended its five-day quarantine recommendation for people who test positive for COVID-19, announcing that people can return to activities after symptoms improve for at least 24 hours. It's a big change from the required 10-day quarantine period from four years ago when the World Health Organization first declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Reset reflects on the impact of four years of COVID-19 with Steven Thrasher, author of The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide, and Megan E. Doherty, co-leader of Care Not COVID, an advocacy group pushing for safer healthcare settings. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Abby and Patrick welcome Steven Thrasher, author of The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide. We discuss Steven's singular career trajectory (from Saturday Night Live to The Village Voice to academia); the difference between “having” or “owning” a body versus being a body; why pandemics are never just about biology, but implicate social realities, shared fantasies, and libidinal economy; the notion of the “viral underclass”; the changing landscape of HIV/AIDS criminalization laws and the case of Michael Johnson, a young Black man prosecuted for the “reckless transmission” of HIV; the origins, myths, and baggage of the term “Patient Zero”; logics of scapegoating and moral panics; hierarchies of social vulnerability and human disposability, especially as they implicate questions of race, class, sexuality, disability, incarceration, and housing status; our relationship to animals and our calculi about who gets to count as human; ideologies about health and disease, purity and pollution, infection and risk; and how viruses can help us reimagine our conceptions of borders, boundaries, permeability, autonomy, and interdependence.The Viral Underclass is here: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-viral-underclass-the-human-toll-when-inequality-and-disease-collide-steven-w-thrasher/17086534Have you noticed that Freud is back?

Five Americans detained in Iran are free and on their way to the United States, as part of a US-Iran agreement, which also includes the release of $6 billion in Iranian funds for humanitarian use. Christiane is joined by US National Security spokesperson John Kirby, and later by Jared Genser, who represents former detainee Siamak Namazi. As world leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, they face cascading challenges – from the war in Ukraine to the critical climate crisis. Christiane sat down with UN Secretary General António Guterres. 20 years ago, President Bush introduced one of the United States's most successful foreign aid programs, PEPFAR. The plan for AIDS relief has saved 25 million lives but is now under threat. House Republicans are opposing funding for it, which expires at the end of the month, over abortion politics. Steven Thrasher is a HIV and AIDS scholar and joins the show to discuss the global impact of this relief.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
Are viruses the “great equalizers” that some people claim them to be? Are we all similarly susceptible not only to infection from viruses but also to the consequences from infection? The short answer is no. The longer answer can be found in this week's book club pick, The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide by Dr. Steven Thrasher. Dr. Thrasher, the inaugural Daniel H. Renberg Chair and Assistant Professor of Journalism at Northwestern University, joins us to discuss how racism, classism, sexism, ableism, stigma, and other forms of oppression intersect to create a viral underclass, a group of individuals that are disproportionately susceptible to and impacted by viruses. Our conversation takes us through several of these vectors of the viral underclass as well as personal stories that illustrate how social and political structures punish certain communities for getting sick while others profit. Part memoir, part academic discussion, part journalism, and entirely groundbreaking, The Viral Underclass is an incredibly timely book that demonstrates the ways that viruses amplify and exacerbate existing inequalities while also underlining how we are truly all in this together. Our interconnectedness means that if one of us is vulnerable to infection, then we all are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When Covid-19 struck some referred to it as “the great equalizer.” After all, every one of us humans can catch a virus. But over the past two and a half years it's become more than clear that there is nothing equal about how this infection has spread. On this edition of KCBS In Depth, we discuss those who have borne the brunt of this pandemic: The people who didn't get to work from home, who lived in cramped communal apartments, or who couldn't get time off to get a vaccine. Our guest for this episode calls this group the "viral underclass," and he's written a new book that explores the many ways that our Covid policy has let them down. Guest: Steven Thrasher, journalism professor, Northwestern University | author, "The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide" Host: Keith Menconi October 19th: Steven Thrasher will make an appearance at Book Passage at the SF Ferry Building this Wednesday at 5 p.m. He'll be in conversation with Piper Kerman, author of Orange Is the New Black.

Maria and Julio are joined by Dr. Steven Thrasher, journalist and author of the new book, “The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality and Disease Collide.” They discuss how viruses, from HIV/AIDS to the coronavirus, reveal inequities in our society. They also talk about the ways that COVID-19 continues impacting the most vulnerable populations, even as our leaders shift to a “post-pandemic” reality. ITT Staff Picks: “Future pandemics aren't hypothetical; they're inevitable and imminent. New infectious diseases have regularly emerged throughout recent decades, and climate change is quickening the pace of such events,” writes Ed Yong in this piece for The Atlantic. Apoorva Mandavilli writes that viruses like COVID and Monkeypox “have revealed deep fissures in the nation's framework for containing epidemics,” for The New York Times. Joshua Gutterman Tranen writes about the harm reduction strategies pioneered by queer men of color to combat HIV/AIDS, and how that approach can be used to prevent and treat Monkeypox, for Boston Review.

We talk with the director of the Wisconsin Book Festival about what readings are on the calendar for this year's Fall event. Authors on the lineup this year include Dr. Steven Thrasher, Maya Phillip and Andy Weir.
Emma hosts Dr. Steven Thrasher, assistant professor of journalism at Northwestern University, to discuss his recent book The Viral Underclass: The Human Toll When Inequality And Disease Collide. Then, Emma is joined by filmmaker Dominique Remy to discuss her work on an upcoming documentary regarding maternal mortality, and the sobering data surrounding the issue that just came out from a study by the CDC. First, Emma runs through updates on Ginni Thomas' decision to speak in front of the 1/6 committee, Russian anti-war protests, and the Electoral Reform Bill, before diving into Donald Trump's legal woes, with Tish James coming for his property and an 11th Circuit panel overturning (and mocking) the decision by Aileen Cannon to grant him a Special Master. Emma and Dr. Thrasher then dive into where his term “viral underclass” came from, coined by queer activist Sean Strub during the AIDS epidemic, and a central theme of Thrasher's thesis on the sentencing of Michael Johnson, a college wrestler who was living HIV/AIDS and convicted of supposedly not disclosing his status (despite maintaining his innocence through to his successful appeal), before exploring what role this term can play as a tool of greater social analysis, with public health crises often funneling certain social groups into the role of scapegoat for social anxieties (be they based on race, sexual orientation, class, or other). Next, they look at the role of this “underclass” in helping maintain greater systemic issues of a for-profit healthcare system, deflecting the blame down to the individuals rather than the institutions in charge of regulating public health measures and information dissemination, before they jump to exploring the various stigmatized spaces through which diseases travel, looking at the spaces of colonialism and slavery as central to pathogen spread over the last few centuries, queer spaces during the AIDS epidemic, and more. Wrapping up, Dr. Thrasher and Emma tackle how looking at a “viral underclass” helps us explore the COVID pandemic, and why setting up preventative measures for crisis, including social welfare, pandemic preparation, and other institutions for public wellbeing, is a necessary step for both successful pandemic-response and ensuring an equitable solution. Dominique Remy then joins as she dives into her work on the Canary Film Project around the mass stratification in maternal mortality rates in the US between racially marginalized and more affluent, white communities, looking at how discussions of reproductive justice often exclude those impacted by maternal mortality and ignore any solution that attempts to look to systemic failures. Wrapping up, Remy dives into the incredible discussions she was able to learn from in the production of Canary, what the project entails writ large, and how those outside of the project can help. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Matt and Brandon as Eric Trump pops on a podcast to discuss how much people love his family, the Democratic establishment lashes back at Rashida Tlaib for attacking the oh-so-vulnerable state of Israel, Ed from Fort Worth talks Republican white nationalism, and inspires a discussion on reactionarianism and why it can never escape its own standpoint. Tucker Carlson dives into why straight pedophilia is good but gay anything is pedophilia, and Brian from DC reflects on yesterday's libertarian debater, plus, your calls and IMs!

Whether you think about it or not, many stories we know are chock full of governance. This is the second part of my chat with writer and programmer Shauna Gordon-McKeon. I enjoyed learning about governance in last week's episode, but the conversation we had in this episode is my favorite. We get into what inspires us to (or to not) take action, the laziness of dictatorship-topple stories, and the ethics and logistics of writing major and minor characters. I also go off on a tangent about Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut because of course I do. If you have a governance story you love or just want to talk about, feel free to email me! researchholepodcast@gmail.com! Justice for rhubarb! Read Shauna's story, Sunlight, for the After the Storm anthology here: https://medium.com/after-the-storm/sunlight-cdb9bb0be8bc This note is from Shauna: There's a good article by Ada Palmer and Jo Walton on how over-reliance on heroic narratives leads to conspiracy thinking: https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-protagonist-problem/. I don't think I referenced it explicitly but it's very relevant. If you want to read two very articulate views on the politics of Black Panther written by actual Black people, as an antidote to Shauna and I—two white people—just riffing, check out “There Is Much to Celebrate–and Much to Question–About Marvel's Black Panther” by Steven Thrasher and “The Passionate Politics of ‘Black Panther'” by Richard Brody. If you want to not be like Shauna and I and actually read the books we reference, you can check out Workshops of Empire: Stegner, Engle, and American Creative Writing During the Cold War by Eric Bennett. The book I couldn't remember the name of in the podcast was called Craft in the Real World: Rethinking Fiction Writing and Workshopping by Mathew Salesses. Before you plant nerds come at me, yes, I misspoke. Technically, rhubarb is a vegetable, though it is legally a fruit! So I was kind of right! The Huffpost article “So What Exactly IS Rhubarb, Anyway?” explains this distinction further. The article Leah referenced in her Something I Learned This Week email is “Listen to the Sick Beats of Rhubarb Growing in the Dark” on Atlas Obscura. You can learn more about Shauna by following her on twitter at @shauna_gm or visiting her website: http://www.shaunagm.net/.

Many of the people affected by the current global monkeypox outbreak are reported to be men who identify as gay or bisexual, or men who have sex with men. The virus can affect anyone, but in response to where the majority of cases are, public health officials are gearing their information toward communities of gay and bisexual men. And that has some saying that the messaging echoes back to the HIV/AIDS crisis and has the potential to stigmatize the gay community while missing others who are susceptible to the disease. We speak with Dr. Boghuma K. Titanji, physician and clinical researcher in infectious diseases at Emory University, about the lessons public health officials can learn from the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s.And Northwestern University journalism professor Steven Thrasher talks about his recent article for Scientific American, "Blaming Gay Men for Monkeypox Will Harm Everyone."In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Intellectual property is a heavy subject. IP attorney, Steven Thrasher, joins the show and breaks this complicated subject down in an easy-to-understand way. He's known for helping create his client's intellectual property fortress. Steven is an engineer, inventor, entrepreneur, and attorney. When he was in college, he had a cool idea for an invention and had a terrible experience when it came to figuring out the patent process. The way I see it, he was scammed for a whole lot of money and his invention still wasn't protected. Because of this experience, he was bound and determined to help other budding entrepreneurs avoid feeling the way he did about his intellectual property… lost and unprotected. He went to law school to learn more about the nuances of IP law and has created his own system helping small businesses with protecting their inventions and intellectual property. He stops competitors from stealing your customers and keeps your online business from being the victim of a take-down notice or copyright troll attack. He does this while running marathons, hiking up mountains on remote continents, and building his own online businesses and information products. If you see him on a laptop at the rim of the Grand Canyon, he just might be in the middle of working on all of these. My conversation with Steven was full of great info of not only what we should be aware of when it comes to intellectual property, but also a peek behind the scenes of why he chose to leave a big law firm in lieu of creating his own firm. In this episode you'll learn: What the differences are between trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property The two important buckets of consideration when it comes to intellectual property The biggest mistake most people make when it comes to protecting their intellectual property Continue the conversation.

#154: Are you interested in copyrighting or trademarking your brand/program, but aren't sure where to start or what the difference is? As entrepreneurs, sometimes we get so caught up in building the business or working on marketing our program, that we forget about copyrighting or trademarks. Many of us, myself included, may have only thought about it as an afterthought and told myself that I'll look into it later when I have more time. That's why today's guest, Steven Thrasher is going to explain to us about the world of IP - intellectual property and teach us to distinguish between the different categories of copyrighting and trademarks, and what we should consider before filling out that application form. He's the intellectual property (IP) attorney/consultant who's on a mission to secure IP for coaches, consultants, and online businesses, while protecting us from life-draining lawsuits. Steven does this by identifying, tracking, and registering trademarks and copyrights, and by preparing IP Ledgers. He does all this while investigating paleo-ruins in the Middle East, mountain climbing on remote continents, and creating businesses of his own. ;) This episode covers common mistakes that people make when wanting to apply for a trademark or copyright and why it's important to do it before you find someone selling your program as their own on the internet. This episode is jam-packed full of great ideas, so let's get to it! Learn About the World of Intellectual Property...

This is the best, most good faith conversation about the final chapter of Dave Chapelle's four-part Netflix special The Closer you'll hear anywhere on the internet. Period. Brie is joined by Dr. Steven Thrasher -- the inaugural Daniel H. Renberg Chair of social justice in reporting (with an emphasis on issues relevant to the LGBTQ community) and an assistant professor of journalism -- and attorney, Champagne Sharks podcast host, and cultural critic Trevor Beaulieu. Together, the three try to figure out what's driving Chapelle's focus on the trans community, whether it's all transphobia, or if there's something worth engaging in Chapelle's work. Is Chapelle accurately observing an inconsistency between how punching "down" at Black Americans and punching down at Trans folks are perceived? Or is he just encouraging an unhealthy game of "oppression Olympics?" Is he erasing Black LGBTQ people in his commentary? Or, as he claims, is his audience misunderstanding that his target isn't Trans people. It is, as it has always been, white people?

Join Seema Yasmin and Steven Thrasher in conversation to celebrate Yasmin's newly released poetry collection, If God Is A Virus. This is the full event recording. ---------------------------------------------------- Merging documentary poetry from the epicenter of an epidemic with the story of viruses in the evolution of humanity, If God Is A Virus gives voice to the infected and the virus. Based on original reporting from West Africa and the United States, and the poet's experiences as a doctor and journalist, If God Is A Virus charts the course of the largest and deadliest Ebola epidemic in history, telling the stories of Ebola survivors, outbreak responders, journalists and the virus itself. Documentary poems explore which human lives are valued, how editorial decisions are weighed, what role the aid industrial complex plays in crises, and how medical myths and rumor can travel faster than microbes. These poems also give voice to the virus. Eight percent of the human genome is inherited from viruses and the human placenta would not exist without a gene descended from a virus. If God Is A Virus reimagines viruses as givers of life and even authors of a viral-human self-help book.

During the early months of the Coronavirus Pandemic, folks were comparing it to the Spanish Flu of 1918, saying that at the end of the pandemic, it would be just like the Roaring 20s all over again- we’d roll our stockings down, rouge up our knees and all that jazz.So why don’t we feel like dancing the Charleston just yet?Today, Dr. Steven Thrasher, professor of journalism and LGBTQ Health at Northwestern University joins us to look at the Coronavirus pandemic and the changes we’ve experienced since he last visited with us a year ago.Steven's new book, The Viral Underclass: How Racism, Ableism and Capitalism Plague Humans On The Margins, takes a look at the impact of the pandemic on marginalized people.DR.

It's Thanksgiving.

For folks who lived through the early AIDS pandemic, there’s a real sense of dread over coronavirus. Republicans failed to take early action on AIDS and we are still living with the repercussions of that. And just like HIV and AIDS, LGBTQ+ people are especially vulnerable to coronavirus, so we must ask - are we prepared to suffer the same fate as we did with the AIDS crisis? Today, Dr. Steven Thrasher, professor of journalism and LGBTQ Health at Northwestern University joins us to look at coronavirus and AIDS: how both of these epidemics impact LGBTQ+ people, incarcerated folks and rural Americans.
Most business owners don’t know the difference between a copyright, trademark, and patent, and therefore have no protection over their intellectual property. The cliché is true: we don’t know what we don’t know. So, I invited my attorney and fellow entrepreneur Steven Thrasher onto the show today to walk through all of this for us. He explains: • What intellectual property in general, and trademarks and copyrights specifically, are. • Why and when we would want to call an intellectual property attorney. • The key differences between planners, procrastinators, and panickers. • The best plan to follow in protecting our intellectual property. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing something that might make you liable or if someone could steal your stuff, listen up.
