Podcasts about studies program

Roanoke College will start a new program spanning science, business and public policy. David Seidel has more on the new Cannabis Studies major.

Join us on a journey of remedies and resonance with Patricia Kaminski, co-director of the Flower Essence Society alongside Richard Katz since 1980. Together they have authored numerous books about flower essences, including the best-selling Flower Essence Repertory. They also manage Flower Essence Services, which produces flower essences and herbal products at Terra Flora, their 27-acre Biodynamic garden in the Sierra foothills of California. Patricia shares her personal journey in which she discovered the profound power of flower essences. Presenting the history of flower essences and their progenitor, Dr. Edward Bach, Patricia explains how to understand and articulate the characteristics of a flower in relation to their healing characteristics. She shares how a materialist worldview limits our ability to understand how nature is working at subtler levels, and how making a remedy is about the critical synergy of the four elements in tandem with the flower's unique essence. Patricia discusses her favourite combination remedies for foundational healing, and describes how flower essences create a resonant effect at the energetic and soul level of a person to catalyze healing. Sharing insightful case studies, she brings us practical advice on integrating flower remedies into our daily lives and the transformative power of using words and affirmations alongside them. We uncover the key qualities for healing practitioners who make use of flower remedies, underscoring the importance of presence, empathy and vision in guiding clients along their healing paths. Learn about Patricia's humanitarian work and how she's encouraging a conscious awakening to nature's sentience and inherent healing qualities, and discover how these natural remedies offer emotional balance and an awakening to our authentic selves. Patricia helped design and majored in the first Women's Studies Program at the University of Nebraska, and helped found a unique counselling centre for women students. She first discovered the remarkable effectiveness of English flower remedies in helping children with learning problems such as dyslexia, and in a counselling program for juvenile offenders. She has studied widely in the fields of healing and plant science, including Waldorf education and Goethean plant science. Patricia has also authored Flowers That Heal, which describes the fundamental principles of flower essence therapy.flowersociety.orgfesflowers.comLiked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

Join Critical Resistance and abolitionists for a critical discussion on the ongoing war on Palestine. Prison industrial complex (PIC) abolitionists have always understood the work to dismantle the PIC to be connected to global movements against war, militarism, and colonialism. In the past few weeks, we've seen mass mobilization in solidarity with the Palestinian people as they face one of the deadliest assaults by the Israeli military in its history. On Wednesday, Nov 1, join us for a critical discussion on the ongoing war on Palestine. Dr. Angela Y Davis, Lara Kiswani (Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center), Stefanie Fox (Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace), and Nadine Naber (INCITE! National) will join us in a discussion moderated by Mohamed Shehk (Campaigns Director of Critical Resistance) to help us understand the situation on the ground in Palestine, how our organizations and people everywhere can mount effective resistance to the genocidal war against Palestinians, and how we can use abolitionist strategies such as Dismantle-Change-Build, Divest/Invest & “Defund,” and “shrink and starve” to do so. Organized by Critical Resistance. This event is also a fundraiser for Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA), who are providing much needed aid to the people of Gaza. All funds will go to MECA after accessibility costs for this event. --------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Angela Y. Davis is Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies at UC Santa Cruz. An activist, writer, and lecturer, her work focuses on prisons, police, abolition, and the related intersections of race, gender, and class. She is the author of many books, from Angela Davis: An Autobiography (now available in a new edition from Haymarket Books) to Freedom Is a Constant Struggle. Lara Kiswani is the Executive Director of Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC), serving poor and working class Arabs and Muslims across the San Francisco Bay Area, and organizing to overturn racism, forced migration, and militarism. Stefanie Fox is the Executive Director of Jewish Voice for Peace. Nadine Naber is a scholar-activist and co-founder of organizations and programs such as: Mamas Activating Movements for Abolition and Solidarity; the Arab Women's Solidarity Association; Arab Movement of Women arising for Justice; the Arab American Cultural Center (UIC); and Arab and Muslim American Studies at UM, Ann Arbor.

Lisa Hendey and Bayleigh Marquis are joined by Catholic Mom contributor Susan Ciancio for a conversation about how we can embrace and teach a culture of life in our homes and in society.  The Culture of Life Studies Program is a pre-K-12 Catholic, pro-life education program that supplements regular school curricula and that teaches students the value and dignity of all people—born and preborn. We offer standalone lessons on topics such as the sanctity of life, marriage, euthanasia, the preborn baby, caring for others, and many lessons on saints that range from one day to four weeks and that are easily integrated into a school, a homeschool, or a CCE lesson plan.  Susan Ciancio is a freelance editor who serves as the director and executive editor of American Life League's Culture of Life Studies Program and is executive editor of ALL's Celebrate Life Magazine.  Show Notes Links:  Susan Ciancio at Catholic Mom: https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/susan-ciancio   CLSP website: all.org/clsp   CLSP essay contest page: prolifeessay.com 

This episode features Professor Letitia Meynell, of the Department of Philosophy and the Gender and Women's Studies Program at Dalhousie University in Canada. Her work addresses the philosophy of science, epistemology, and feminist philosophy, which all feed into questions about our relationships with animals.

In this episode, we focus on her 2021 paper "Gendering animals", co-authored with Andrew Lopez, which was published in the journal Synthese.

About the book The first-ever account of Latino/a participation and representation in US English-language television, Latino TV: A History offers a sweeping study of key moments of Chicano/a and Latino/a representation and authorship since the 1950s. Drawing on archival research, interviews with dozens of media professionals who worked on or performed in these series, textual analysis of episodes and promotional materials, and analysis of news media coverage, Mary Beltrán examines Latina/o representation in everything from children's television Westerns of the 1950s, Chicana/o and Puerto Rican activist-led public affairs series of the 1970s, and sitcoms that spanned half a century, to Latina and Latino-led series in the 2000s and 2010s on broadcast, cable, and streaming outlets, including George Lopez, Ugly Betty, One Day at a Time, and Vida.

Dr. Nadine Naber, associate professor in the Gender and Women's Studies Program at University of Illinois at Chicago, will illustrate how forms of state violence that currently shape the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region are feminist concerns and how feminist movements have helped expand the possibility of building alternative futures. Drawing on examples from Egypt, Iran, Lebanon and Palestine, she will focus on activist frameworks such as radical mothering, activism and coalitional consciousness.

Whenever you attended high school it likely was a time of growing. Depending on how far removed you are from that experience, things have changed quite a bit with today's students. Under the direction of Nikki Savino Mulcahy, an intergenerational studies program is taking place at Cranford High School. It brings together older residents with current students to compare how things have changed over the decades, as well as what is not all that different.Three students, Isabella Alvarez-Gomez, Neil McGovern and Ryan Lynskey, along with Mrs. Savino Mulcahy, join us on this week's podcast, recorded in the Dr. Deborah Cannon Partridge Wolfe Library and Learning Commons, to not only talk about the class but to share a bit of what their high school experience is like.

From grasshoppers to grubs, an eye-opening look at insect cuisine around the world. An estimated two billion people worldwide regularly consume insects, yet bugs are rarely eaten in the West. Why are some disgusted at the thought of eating insects while others find them delicious? Edible Insects: A Global History (Reaktion Books, 2021) provides a broad introduction to the role of insects as human food, from our prehistoric past to current food trends—and even recipes. On the menu are beetles, butterflies, grasshoppers, and grubs of many kinds, with stories that highlight traditional methods of insect collection, preparation, consumption, and preservation. But we not only encounter the culinary uses of creepy-crawlies across many cultures. We also learn of the potential of insects to alleviate global food shortages and natural resource overexploitation, as well as the role of world-class chefs in making insects palatable to consumers in the West.

"The problem today that we didn't have during the Cold War or twenty years ago is that there's profound disagreement over what are the biggest threats to our national security." On the day the United States is scheduled to end its military presence in Afghanistan, two experts on counterterrorism — Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware— join Daniel for a special discussion. On the docket is a deep dive into many issues surrounding the exit. What could the US have done better, or differently? What could happen if ISIS-K and Al Qaeda vie for power in a Taliban-led society? Hoffman makes clear that in his opinion, the US should not be leaving. But what is the alternative? Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Professor Bruce Hoffman has been studying terrorism and insurgency for over four decades. He is a tenured professor in Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service where from 2010 to 2017 he was the Director of both the Center for Security Studies and of the Security Studies Program. In addition, Professor Hoffman is visiting Professor of Terrorism Studies at St Andrews University, Scotland. He previously held the Corporate Chair in Counterterrorism and Counterinsurgency at the RAND Corporation and was also Director of RAND's Washington, D.C. Office. Professor Hoffman also served as RAND's Vice President for External Affairs and as Acting Director of RAND's Center for Middle East Public Policy. Appointed by the U.S. Congress to serve as a commissioner on the Independent Commission to Review the FBI's Post-9/11 Response to Terrorism and Radicalization, Professor Hoffman was a lead author of the commission's final report. He was Scholar-in-Residence for Counterterrorism at the Central Intelligence Agency between 2004 and 2006; an adviser on counterterrorism to the Office of National Security Affairs, Coalition Provisional Authority, Baghdad, Iraq in 2004, and from 2004-2005 an adviser on counterinsurgency to the Strategy, Plans, and Analysis Office at Multi-National Forces-Iraq Headquarters, Baghdad. Professor Hoffman was also an adviser to the Iraq Study Group. He has been a Distinguished Scholar, a Public Policy Scholar, a Senior Scholar, and a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Washington, D.C.; a Senior Fellow at the Combating Terrorism Center, U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y.; a Visiting Professor at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism, Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya, Israel; and, a Visiting Professor at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is also a contributing editor to The National Interest and a member of the Jamestown Foundation's Board of Directors; a member of the board of advisers to the FBI Intelligence Analysts Association; and, serves on the advisory boards to the Arms Sales Monitoring Project at the Federation of American Scientists and of Our Voices Together: September 11 Friends and Families to Help Build a Safer, More Compassionate World. Professor Hoffman holds degrees in government, history, and international relations and received his doctorate from Oxford University. In November 1994, the Director of Central Intelligence awarded Professor Hoffman the United States Intelligence Community Seal Medallion, the highest level of commendation given to a non-government employee, which recognizes sustained superior performance of high value that distinctly benefits the interests and national security of the United States. Jacob Ware is a Research Associate in the Counterterrorism and Studies Program at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Darrell Castle talks about the U.S. military and its leadership specifically the teaching or indoctrination of the troops and the future officer corps, now at the academies, with the doctrine of Critical Race Theory which he argues will be a disaster for military readiness. Transcription / Notes: THE U.S. MILITARY IS BEING LED INTO DISASTER Hello this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is the 9th day of July in this the year of our Lord 2021 and on this Report, I will be talking about the U.S. military and its leadership specifically the teaching or indoctrination of the troops and the future officer corps, now at the academies, with the doctrine of Critical Race Theory which I argue will be a disaster for military readiness. The Castle Family had a wonderful 4th of July this past weekend. We enjoyed the spring like weather and the Sunday afternoon cookout but sitting on our deck in the cool of the evening watching fireworks in the distance was the best. I think the family daughter went to her own cookout with some friends in the City of Angels, so everyone enjoyed themselves, and everyone is healthy and virus free as far as we know. Each of the military branches has a chief of staff or commander if you will. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps all together make up the joint chiefs. One of them is nominated by the President to be Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He is, in effect, the chief military officer in the nation. President Trump nominated Army General Mark Milley for Chairman and he currently serves in that position. General Milley has impeccable credentials for the job both academic and military credentials. Just in a brief inventory he holds a degree from Princeton in politics, a masters from Columbia in International Relations, a masters from the Naval War College, and is a graduate of an Mit international Studies Program, and that is just his education. He served in the 82nd Airborne, the 5th Special Forces Group, the 7th Infantry Division, the 10th Mountain Division and many others. He holds the Combat Infantryman Badge and many other awards too numerous to mention and has deployed to the various war zones this country has fought in since the beginning of his 31-year career. Due to his 31 years of honorable service and his record I can still call him my brother-in-arms. It appears to me, however, that because of his testimony before the House Armed Services Committee last month regarding his order to teach Critical Race Theory to the troops and at the military academies he is in fact a boot licking lackey of the ruling elite. His history of infantry combat and in various command positions in some to the nation's most elite units makes his offense much worse because he obviously knows better and that renders him unworthy of the troops he commands. In other words, when he insists that Critical Race Theory be taught to the military, he knows that he will be destroying unit cohesion and the respect that one soldier has for another as they depend on each other for their very lives in battle. CRT holds that there is an inborn DNA makeup of white people that makes them racists by birth. They should therefore feel ashamed to be white and see no good in themselves nor should they take any pride in the accomplishments of the West with all its racist white privilege. That approach logically will divide and foster animosity and mistrust among the ranks. The mission of the military is far simpler than any theory on race can explain. I don't have 31 years of service as does the General, but I have served as a military officer, and I know that the bottom line is that our young men and women have to kill their young men and woman at a much faster rate than they can kill our young men and women if we are to prevail. We can apply the incredible technology advantages we have over most enemies today as a force multiplier, but ultimately, we still must have people willing and able to confront the enemy on the g...

John D'Emilio joins "Heart of a Heartless World" to discuss the history of Bayard Rustin, a Quaker and democratic socialist who introduced nonviolent tactics to the civil rights movement and organized the March on Washington. After years of organizing protests, Rustin argued after Lyndon B. Johnson's election that the left needed to move "from protest to politics" and engage directly with the political system while building broad-based coalitions. In this episode John D'Emilio charts the similarities between Rustin's engagement with LBJ's administration and the left's challenge with an incoming Biden administration. John D’Emilio is a pioneer in the field of gay and lesbian studies and is professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago where he taught in the Gender and Women’s Studies Program and the Department of History.

The subject of this show is not intended for all listeners. In September, a nurse who worked at an immigration detention center filed a whistleblower complaint alleging, among other things, that immigrant women received questionable hysterectomies. The focus of our episode this week is forced sterilizations, the history of the eugenics movement, and human rights abuses. Forced Sterilizations At The Border is a discussion led by Andy Downs, Director of the Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics. This conversation was recorded via Zoom. Panelists include: Janet Badia, Professor & Director of the Women’s Studies Program at Purdue University Fort Wayne Steve Carr, Professor of Communication & Director of the Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Purdue University Fort Wayne Ann Livschiz, Associate Professor & Associate Chair of the History Department at Purdue University Fort Wayne Special thanks to Andy Downs, and his guests for making this program possible.

In this episode, Professors Abigail Brooks, Director of PCs Women's Studies Program, and Paul Herron, the PC Political Science Department's Supreme Court expert, join Beyond Your News Feed host, William Hudson, to discuss the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's contributions to constitutional law.   The discussion reviews Ginsburg's historic contributions to expanding women's rights in her career as a litigator beginning in the 1970s.  We link these efforts on behalf of women's equality to her own confrontation with the professional barriers women faced in her generation.  These efforts continued after her appointments first to the DC Circuit Appeals Court and then the Supreme Court.  Our conversation reviews her major contributions on the Court in her majority opinions but also in several significant dissenting opinions in cases involving women's employment rights, voting rights, and affirmative action. Ginsburg also became a popular celebrity in her later years, a phenomenon that we also explore.

“Dana Being Dana” is a show all about the human connection and living life intentionally and what better connector is there to bring two people together than sex? “Sex as an enjoyable experience is one of those things that calls us out of our isolation and puts us in harmony with one another,” says Lee H.

In today's News: Apply now for deaconess studies program A new distance deaconess studies program will launch in the spring 2021 semester at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.

The four-year program will prepare women to share the Gospel through works of mercy, spiritual care and teaching the Christian faith. Students who complete the program will be eligible for placement as commissioned deaconesses in the LCMS. The seminary is currently accepting applications for enrollment in the spring 2021 semester; the application deadline is Aug. 31. Democrats move to repeal religious protections Last Monday, the Supreme Court Ruled 6–3 that the 1964 Civil Rights Act’s prohibition on sex discrimination in employment also prohibits such discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and “transgender status.” In his dissent, Justice Samuel Alito warned that the decision presents clear threats to religious liberty, while Justice Neil Gorsuch countered in his majority opinion that there are still a variety of legal protections for religious Americans, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. While it’s unknown what religious exemptions the Supreme Court “might” actually provide in cases involving claims of discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, Congressional Democrats made it clear that they don’t want to leave anything to chance, pushing forward with a bill that would explicitly strip religious Americans of the ability to defend themselves under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in future employment-discrimination lawsuits. Illinois Dioceses join Supreme Court case A Philadelphia law that purports to prevent discrimination actually harms children through religious discrimination, according to an a friend of the court brief filed with the United States Supreme Court by the Thomas More Society. Representing Catholic Charities from two Illinois Dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church, the brief, filed June 3, in Sharonell Fulton. V. City of Philadelphia, supports Catholic Social Services of the Archdiocese Of Philadelphia, along with foster parents Sharonell Fulton and Toni Lynn Simms-Busch. The Thomas More Society filing speaks to Philadelphia’s alleged First Amendment violation in requiring a religious agency to make statements and perform actions that contradict its religious beliefs in order to participate in the foster care system. Having experienced in Illinois what happened in Philadelphia, Catholic Charities of the Diocese Of Springfield in Illinois and Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Joliet, are asking the high court to side with their Pennsylvania counterparts and the foster parents suing for their religious rights. The amici brief notes that Illinois presented no evidence that same-sex couples were not readily able to find assessment and qualification services from over 60 department of children and family services offices and over 50 alternative foster care agencies, stating, “the state’s exclusion of faith-based foster care providers was thus a solution in search of a problem and harmed Illinois children without any countervailing benefit.”

Heather Haley is a doctoral candidate who focuses on twentieth-century U.S. social and military history. Her primary research identifies the ways in which citizenship rights and military service intersected in the Cold War U.S. military. In her dissertation project, “Unsuitable and Incompatible: Ensign Vernon “Copy” Berg, Bisexuality, and the Cold War U.S. Navy,” Haley chronicles the incongruities in official policy between the Civil Service Commission (CSC) and the armed forces as it related to the compatibility of homosexuals—a catch-all that includes gay men and women and bisexuals—as federal employees and as active duty and retired service members. This research has received financial support from the Adams Center for Military History & Strategic Analysis at the Virginia Military Institute, the Society for Military History, and the History Department at Auburn University. Haley also received her Public History certification in 2018. With the oral history skills she honed as a student of the Auburn University Public History Program, Heather initiated the Social Justice and Women's Rights Oral History Project. As the project lead, she conducts oral histories and collects ephemera from the students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni of Auburn University who participated in local, regional, and national marches for the advocacy of women's rights, science- and evidence-based policy, and social justice. She is currently partnering with the Ralph Brown Draughton Library Special Collections and Archives to permanently display the collection's audio and visual contents online, making the materials accessible to researchers. The project has been generously funded through a Women's Studies Program grant, the Samia I. Spencer Creative Mentorship Award. Haley holds a Master's degree in History from Texas State University. While under the direction of Dr. Ellen Tillman, Heather's thesis, “Strategic Surprise: The Dispersal of Agent Orange in Vietnam and Korea in the late-1960s,” received the distinction of Outstanding Master's Thesis in the Humanities and Fine Arts from the College of Liberal Arts.

Feminism is on the rise with our first woman presidential candidate, so I thought that it's the perfect time to talk about yoga and feminism. My guest today is Beth Berila,yoga teacher, is the Director of the Women's Studies Program at St. Cloud State University and is part of the Yoga and Body Image Coalition. Some wonderful insights from this episode on body image: Women learn from a very young age that our worth is often discerned by how we look. Regardless of how loved we are as children, we are saturated with harmful media messages. Even the people who fit the "standard" still don't feel like they are enough. Yoga can help us disrupt those standards and give us a more empowered way of relating to ourselves and each other. Hear Beth's challenging statement, "Our self talk is ALL learned self talk." Yoga helps us recognize that our story lines (monkey mind) are not the truth. We come back to our wholeness underneath our learned behaviors. You'll love her four step process for moving towards wholeness in a yoga practice. Feminism teaches us about social construction of beliefs. Our clear, empowered self is often mired in issues about body image, racism, homophobia, etc. Hear her own story about how feminism helped her find her voice, but also how yoga helped her come out of her head and into her body. And I LOVE our conversation about the process of change-making! Find the show notes for this episode at Yoga Stories Project.com HERE. Find out more about Beth at her website here, and check out the Yoga & Body Image Coalition!

GENDER STUDIES, WOMEN’S STUDIES—DO WE REALLY STILL NEED THEM? You remember women’s studies – started around the time young women were supposedly burning their bras.  If you’re a supporter of the programs, they are a place to learn the history of feminism, equality, and women’s accomplishments in the world.  If you aren’t a supporter, those programs are for women with short hair and Birkenstocks to learn how to resent men.  Fortunately, both those stereotypes are off the mark.  So – what is women’s studies and how are such programs relevant today? We’ll get those answers and more as Yi-Chun Tricia Lin, Director and Professor of the Women’s Studies Program at Southern Connecticut State University, joins us for Saturday’s show.  Growing up in Taiwan, Tricia was expected to follow a life as previous generations of women had- obedient and submissive to patriarchy.  That didn’t work for her, and instead she went to graduate school and became a teacher focusing on social justice issues, including gender, racial, and socio-economic issues.  She also is very active in leadership of a number of academic and political organizations, including Veteran Feminists of America, New Haven League of Women Voters, and the National Women’s Studies Association.  Tricia also contributed to several publications including a special issue on transnational Indigenous feminism with Lectora (University of Barcelona), forthcoming in 2016.  If anyone knows the current status of women’s studies, it is Tricia.
