Guest: Lanier Isom, journalist and author of Grace and Grit: How I Won My Fight at Goodyear and Beyond - the life story of Lilly Ledbetter Film: Lilly - based on the book, now available on Amazon. Key Lilly Ledbetter Quotes: On Pay Negotiation and Career Planning "Your first job is very important because even though you're not even thinking about retirement, how much you pay is gonna determine, you know, the health of your retirement. So you have to be able to negotiate pay." Key Messages About Lilly Ledbetter's Story •Lilly Ledbetter is an Alabama native from Possum Trot, Alabama, who became the namesake of President Obama's first piece of legislation: The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act •The film Lilly had its world premiere at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival •Blue Harbor Entertainment released Lilly exclusively in theaters in May 2025 •The story represents an important fight for equal pay and fair treatment in the workplace About Lanier Isom's Journey as a Writer •Lanier grew up in Birmingham with parents who loved books, art, and surrounded themselves with creative people •She graduated from Sophie Newcomb (women's college within Tulane University) in 1987 with an English degree •After struggling to find work with her degree, she sold children's shoes before getting her master's at UAB in English •She taught for over 11 years at Altamont School and Mountain Brook High School •Transitioned through PR work, magazine editing at Birmingham Home and Garden Magazine, and eventually freelance writing •Key insight: "Every job I've ever had, I had no idea. I was not trained to do it... I knew how to learn. A humanities education taught me how to learn. So I just learned on the job." How Lanier Met Lilly •In 2009, when President Obama signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act, Lanier's husband suggested the story •When Lanier first called Lilly, she was overwhelmed with media attention and said: "I'm up to my knees in alligators" and hung up •Lanier gathered her courage, called back, and interviewed Lilly for a magazine article •This became the beginning of their relationship and eventually the book •Lanier's belief: "As writers, as artists... the universe, I could not have planned that." On Women's Issues and Generational Context •Lanier was exposed to women's studies at Tulane, which was very important to her development •She was raised by a second-wave feminist mother who struggled as a newly divorced woman in the 1970s trying to find work and support her children •Generational challenge: Women of their generation (born in the 1960s) were not taught about business, negotiating salaries, or thinking about pay and money •"Money talk was not something very comfortable for me" •This lack of education about financial negotiation directly connects to Lilly's message about the importance of advocating for fair pay On the Power of Writing and Art •Writing as transformation: "Writing is so powerful and the arts are so powerful that that's the first thing people want to shut down when there's fascism on the horizon." •Writing creates change: "Art and writing can literally shift people's consciousness, their awareness. It can create a sense of humanity, of empathy, of understanding, of connection that is threatening to people who don't want a world like that." •Political power: "It can shift, it can become a political shift." •Writing can be empowering whether it's journaling, book writing, articles, or copywriting On the Creative Process •Lanier emphasizes the importance of being in flow and alignment while creating •"The best part is when you are in the flow and you are aligned and you know that something good, not necessarily important, but good and important is coming through." •The value is in the process: "You had that moment in alignment that is far more important than the outcome." •"It is very hard not to live in the outcomes. I mean, we're just human." •Balance needed: As artists, the creative meditation is valuable, but if it's your livelihood, you also need to consider practical outcomes •Writing and art are forms of meditation and ways to get out of the daily grind while serving a purpose On Being a Writer •Shared quote: "A writer is someone who basically must be left alone to write, but wants a cult following." •"You gotta get out and do the dog and pony show if you get a cult following." •"I need a lot of time to myself, but if it's only for myself, what good is it?"

In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Patti Farris, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Tulane University, for a timely conversation on photoprotection and sunscreen. As new concerns surface among patients, they provide an up-to-date perspective on UV exposure, formulation science, and patient counseling. Dr Farris explains the critical role of UVA radiation, which penetrates deeper into the dermis than UVB and is a major driver of photoaging and skin cancer risk. Unlike UVB, UVA is harder to block because many chemical filters only partially cover this spectrum. She also reviews the controversies surrounding oxybenzone, discussing both endocrine disruption concerns and its debated link to coral reef bleaching, emphasizing the gap between laboratory studies and real-world relevance. The discussion then turns to mineral sunscreens, which have gained popularity amid growing social media skepticism about chemical filters. While they provide strong UVA protection, cosmetic acceptability remains a significant challenge, especially for patients with skin of color due to the persistent issue of white cast. Newer innovations, including the addition of antioxidants, further expand protection by addressing visible light–induced damage. They highlight one example of an advanced formulation that pairs mineral filters with vitamin E to boost UVA defense and improve tolerability across all Fitzpatrick skin types. Finally, they reflect on generational differences in patient counseling. While older patients may prioritize cancer prevention, younger patients often respond more to messaging about photoaging and skin preservation, making it vital to tailor communication strategies. Tune in to the full episode to hear Dr Farris and Dr Del Rosso explore how dermatologists can navigate evolving sunscreen science, address patient concerns with confidence, and make practical recommendations that resonate across age groups and skin types.

She walks us through the shift from evangelism to domination, the rise of the Seven Mountain Mandate, and how imagery of good versus evil fuels political engagement—from “Jericho marches” to Stop the Steal rallies. We also discuss the connection between these movements and broader themes of dominion theology, Christian Reconstructionism, and charismatic expressions of faith.Listeners will learn how this rhetoric not only mobilizes believers to vote, protest, and organize, but also raises concerns about political violence and democratic stability. Drawing from her dissertation research, Karrie offers insight into how narratives about “principalities and powers,” demon mapping, and America's supposed covenant with God shape today's most polarizing debates.Guest BioKarrie Gaspard Hogewood is a licensed social worker and PhD candidate in sociology at Tulane University. Her research explores the ways religion, politics, and social movements intertwine, with a particular focus on spiritual warfare rhetoric and its role in shaping political engagement. Raised in Louisiana's Southern Baptist tradition, Karrie brings both personal experience and scholarly expertise to her work. Her dissertation examines how Christian nationalist groups construct “the enemy” and use spiritual warfare language to mobilize political action, from school board campaigns to national rallies. She has been featured in academic and public conversations about Christian nationalism, the rise of the New Apostolic Reformation, and the growing influence of Support the show

Darrah Fox Bach is the restoration programs senior manager at the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.Darrah cultivated her love for the outdoors in her native San Francisco, where environmentalism flourishes and Saturdays were devoted to hiking. She moved to Louisiana to study at Tulane University, and stayed for an AmeriCorps position with the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL). When a job opened up at the non-profit advocacy group, she came aboard full-time.One of the programs Darrah manages is an oyster shell recycling program that collects the shells from restaurants in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Volunteers then turn them into oyster reefs–”living shorelines” that serve as habitat for baby oysters and also reduce erosion and protect cultural heritage sites. After listening to Darrah's interview, stay tuned for a bonus preview of our conversation with Rashida Ferdinand, the Executive director of Sankofa Community Development Corporation in the Lower Ninth Ward.After Rashida earned her master's degree in ceramics, she considered moving to New York for its energy and professional opportunities. “But I wanted to also be in a warm environment, physically and culturally,” she says. “Being around blue, purple, yellow houses. Being around my family. My grandmother was getting older. So it was a no-brainer.” She moved back home to New Orleans in 2001.Rashida had grown up in the Lower Ninth Ward, a former cypress swamp that had become a working-class district with one of the nation's highest rates of Black homeownership. As a child, she heard adults reminisce about the crawfish that used to live in the gullies, about the neighborhood's informal bartering system, and about keeping their doors unlocked at night.Then, four years after her return, Rashida's neighborhood made national headlines. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the city's levee system failed, and the low-lying Lower Ninth Ward took the biggest hit. Thousands of homes were inundated or leveled. Residents fled to their rooftops for rescue. The death toll exceeded any other part of the city. When Rashida finally saw the neighborhood again, she says, it looked like “a shell of nothing.”Thanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

Send us a textWhat happens when tragedy and opportunity collide in the life of a child? Dr. Aruna Stevens' story answers this question with breathtaking resilience and hope. Born just before Sierra Leone's devastating civil war, Aruna's childhood was shattered when his father was killed and his extended family of twenty separated. He experienced homelessness, hunger, and the daily struggle for survival in a community where healthcare was virtually non-existent—where people routinely died from treatable conditions simply because there were no doctors available.The turning point came when the Child Rescue Centre welcomed young Aruna, providing stability and education for the first time in his life. Despite studying by candlelight and walking long distances to school, he persevered. This foundation eventually led him to graduate from Sierra Leone's only medical college and serve as chief medical director at Mercy Hospital for five years. Now pursuing a PhD in tropical medicine and infectious diseases at Tulane University, Dr. Stevens explains how his difficult past fuels his passion for creating sustainable healthcare solutions in his homeland.Throughout our conversation, Dr. Stevens shares the motivation he finds in his two-year-old son, Godfrey, who remains in Sierra Leone while he completes his studies. His ultimate goal transcends personal achievement—he envisions transforming Mercy Hospital into a self-sufficient institution and establishing research teams to address neglected tropical diseases. "Begin every journey with an end in mind," he advises our listeners, emphasizing that true fulfillment comes from focusing on the broader impact of your work. Join us for this powerful reminder that how a child's journey ends isn't determined by how it begins, but by the decisions, support, and determination they find along the way.

Dave Cohen in for Tommy Tucker. Dave talks with Gabriel Olivier, a graduate student in the Department of Economics at Tulane University, about what his research has found.

  In this episode of Grating the Nutmeg, Natalie Belanger tells us about how two journals kept by a Revolutionary War-era girl in the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History's  collection have inspired an original work of music.    Several years ago, Leonard Raybon (Associate Professor of Music at Tulane University) encountered two journals and other writings by Hannah Hadassah Hickok, held at the Connecticut Museum. Hannah was the matriarch of the non-conformist Smith Family of Glastonbury. Her daughters would go on to became nationally famous for protesting their lack of voting rights in the 1870s by refusing to pay their taxes — an act that resulted in the town of Glastonbury confiscating their property, including their beloved cows.   Inspired by the young Hannah's unique voice, Leonard composed an original mini-musical based on her writings. You'll hear Natalie and Leonard's conversation about what moved him to compose the piece and how it fits into his larger project of producing "Ameri-musicals" that use song to get us to think about the past.   Professor Raybon, the Connecticut Museum, and the Glastonbury Historical Society are partnering to present this work to the public in a one-time performance on November 8th, 2025 at 7:00 pm at First Church of Glastonbury at 2183 Main Street, Glastonbury. First Church was the Smith family's congregation, so it's a fitting place to host this unique musical experience! You can visit the CT Museum's website to learn more about the concert.   For more information on the Smith family, visit the CT Women's Hall of Fame, or read this excellent blog from the Library of Congress.    -------------------------------------- Like Grating the Nutmeg?

As you may have heard, ⁠GM Hikaru Nakamura made a surprise appearance ⁠at the Louisiana State Championship, as part of fulfilling FIDE's World Championship qualification criteria. In return, the players he encountered gained memories and stories they'll never forget. In this multi-guest special episode, I speak with several of Hikaru's opponents, as well as the tournament's organizer, to hear their firsthand accounts: Senior Tournament Director Richard Campbell (13:00) – on why he and his team initially thought Hikaru's registration was a prank, and how they realized it was real. 20-year-old college student Harry James (32:00) – on how being paired with Hikaru in Round 1 unexpectedly cured his hangover. Tulane graduate student Nahum Villamil Garces (47:30) – on the lifetime memories he made after facing Hikaru in Round 3. Five-time Louisiana State Champion FM Nick Matta (1:06:00) – on how he forced himself to play Hikaru with no fear, and how the opportunity to play him re-energized his passion for chess.  Baton Rouge-based NM Charles Campbell (1:34:00) – on the mixed feelings he had before his last-round showdown with Hikaru, as he vied for the state champion title. It was so much fun hearing the stories of our guests, and I was touched by the galvanizing effect Hikaru's visit had on the Louisiana chess community Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

The world of coffee shops is fueled by the world of coffee farmers. For as long as coffee has been grown, the people who pursue the cultivation of the product we cultivate community around in the cafe have struggled and survive based on their ability to band together, invest in the land, one another, and innovate methods to secure their future.  Today we get he distinct honor of talk with someone whose efforts have produced many different opportunities to advance the thriving of farmers and provides a model that can be spread to other farms as well.  I am please to welcome, Felipe Sardi!  Felipe is the Founder and CEO of El Green Hub, a business ecosystem dedicated to environmental regeneration, sustainability, and innovation within the specialty coffee value chain. With operations in multiple countries, El Green Hub brings together companies that span coffee production, international trade, retail, and financial services. By empowering small-scale producers across Latin America through sustainable practices and financial inclusion, they drive meaningful economic and social change in rural communities. Their journey began with La Palma y el Tucán, a small farm in Cundinamarca that transformed from degraded land into a thriving ecosystem where specialty coffee flourishes alongside restored biodiversity. This living laboratory proved that regenerative agriculture works—inspiring business models that have since grown into significant enterprises across the coffee and agricultural sectors Born and raised in Colombia within an entrepreneurial family, Felipe developed a deep appreciation for hard work, innovation, and purpose-driven business. He graduated from Los Nogales High School in Bogotá (1996) and went on to earn a Bachelor's in Finance from Tulane University in New Orleans (2001). His commitment to sustainable agriculture led me to pursue a Graduate Certificate in Agricultural Sciences from the University of Melbourne and a Permaculture Design Certificate from the Permaculture Research Institute in Australia. In this episode we will talk about:  The genesis of Felipe's coffee journey De-commoditizing coffee The role of terroir, genetics, and processing in coffee innovation The bio-innovative process and its impact on coffee profiles Responsible innovation and collaboration with farmers The lactic acid process and its reception in the coffee world The significance of terroir in maintaining coffee's unique identity Felipe's vision for co-creating the next wave of coffee with roasters and consumers     Related episodes! 477: Inspiring the next generation of Coffee Farmer w/ Yolima Taborda Rojas of Paisa Coffee, Colombia 451: Business Growth, Integrity, and Coffee Farmer Equity w/ Martin Mayorga of Mayorga Coffee 335: A Better Business Model for Coffee Farmers w/ Thaleon Tremain of Pachamama Coffee Sustainability Series #1 : The Farm 251 : Fermentation and the Future of Farming w/ Lucia Solis   KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS!  Are you a coffee shop owner looking to join a community of other owners to help bring perspective, insight, encouragement, and accountability in a well curated setting?  Then you need to apply to join Key holder Coaching Groups!  Applications are now open for fall 2025 Cohort: Click below to learn more: APPLY TO KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS   KEYS TO THE SHOP ALSO OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

In Plantation Worlds (Duke UP, 2024), Maan Barua interrogates debates on planetary transformations through the histories and ecologies of plantations. Drawing on long-term research spanning fifteen years, Barua presents a unique ethnography attentive to the lives of both people and elephants amid tea plantations in the Indian state of Assam. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nearly three million people were brought in to Assam's plantations to work under conditions of indenture. Plantations dramatically altered the region's landscape, plundered resources, and created fraught worlds for elephants and people. Their extractive logics and colonial legacies prevail as durations, forging the ambit of infrastructures, labor, habitability, and conservation in the present. And yet, as the perspectives of the Adivasi plantation worker community and lifeworlds of elephants show, possibilities for enacting a decolonial imaginary of landscape remain present amid immiseration. From the margins of the Global South, Barua offers an alternative grammar for articulating environmental change. In so doing, he prompts a rethinking of multispecies ecologies and how they are structured by colonialism and race. Maan Barua is University Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Cambridge and author of Lively Cities: Reconfiguring Urban Ecology (University of Minnesota Press, 2023). Maan is an environmental and urban geographer whose research focuses on the economies, ontologies and politics of the living and material world.

Debates about Ethnic Studies in K-12 and Higher Education have highlighted the importance of culturally inclusive pedagogy in schools. Despite discussions about Ethnic Studies, there is a more extended history of Mexican-origin people pushing for culturally responsive education. In Reading, Writing, and Revolution: Escuelitas and the Emergence of a Mexican American Identity in Texas (University of Texas Press, 2020), historian Philis M. Barragán-Goetz argues that through cultural negotiation, escuelitas (community schools) shaped Mexican American identity and civil rights activism in the late 19th and early 20th century. Barragán Goetz weaves in oral histories, government documents, newspapers, and archival sources to demonstrate the power in grassroots organizing for educational justice in Texas. She debunks a popular myth that Mexican Americans have not cared for education throughout history. Barragán Goetz writes that the progressive education movement in the late 19th century was not all that progressive if we examine the lived experienced of Mexican-origin people. Activists such as Idar Family, Villegas de Magnon, Maria Villarreal, Maria Renteria, and many involved in the two main Mexican American civil rights organizations of the time provided a foundation for Latina/os to be part of the fight for educational inclusion in the 20th century. Reading, Writing, and Revolution is not merely a book about educational history; it is a trailblazing study on how Mexican Americans have relied on any tools available to create a more inclusive educational system for themselves and their community.

Dermatologist Dr. Erin Boh and patient advocate Brian Lehrschall discuss the challenge of managing weight, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis which share common inflammatory pathways and what can be done to improve all together.   Join moderator Jennifer Bomberger as she asks what is the connection between psoriatic disease and excess weight and what can be done to counter the effects of inflammatory cytokines for both with leading dermatologist Dr. Erin Boh and Brian Lehrschall who has lost over 100 pounds using diet, exercise and a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Hear Brian's story along with what is a GLP-1, how they work, and side effects.  The intent of this episode is to offer knowledge and an example of how a GLP-1 can be used successfully to improve the outcomes and management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This episode is sponsored by Lilly. A Word of Warning This episode contains information about the body, like body size, weight management, healthy eating, and lifestyle changes. If you have a history of disordered eating or are struggling with body-related mental health challenges, you might wish to explore some of our other helpful tools. There are clinical terms used by our speakers about body size or body weight that you might find triggering. Key among them is the word ‘obesity.' While it is the scientifically correct name for a disease and a common clinical term, NPF acknowledges that this word is triggering and problematic, and it is used only for the clearest of accuracy. Timestamps: (0:23) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome dermatologist Dr. Erin Boh and Brian Lehrschall, who has been living with psoriatic disease for over 30 years and has recently lost over 100 pounds.  (1:32) Health challenges Brian faced while trying to manage his weight, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. (4:08)   Many factors contribute to psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and comorbidities. (5:56) Discussing the sensitive subject of losing weight and changing lifestyle. (7:57) The inflammatory pathways and connection between excess weight and psoriatic disease. (14:50) Tips for managing multiple diseases like psoriatic disease, depression, and excess weight together.  Realize “it's not your fault”. (21:32) Are low calorie or anti-inflammatory diets effective with psoriasis? (25:21) The definition of a GLP-1 (receptor agonist), how they work, and benefits in resetting how the body functions. (30:02) Brian's experience and impact of using a GLP-1. (32:08) Current and future use of GLP-1 in the management of psoriatic disease, comorbidities, and excess weight. (34:49) Be an advocate for yourself to help do all the things that will make you feel better about living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Key Takeaways: ·       Obesity or excess weight is a disease driven by an overproduction of inflammatory cytokines. ·       Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and excess weight have shared pro-inflammatory disease pathways that should be considered together when identifying an effective treatment plan. ·       GLP-1 receptor agonists can be used along with dietary changes and exercise to induce weight loss that improves the body's reaction to medications used to treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guest Bios:   Erin Boh, M.D., Ph.D. is the Joseph Chastain Endowed Chair of Clinical Dermatology at Tulane University, School of Medicine where she is also a Professor and Chairman of Dermatology. Her clinical and research focus includes photobiology, chronic diseases such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and skin cancers such as lymphoma. Dr. Boh is a past Medical Board member of the National Psoriasis Foundation and is currently a President's Council Member which represents an elite group of health care providers who are committed to the mission of the Foundation and finding a cure for psoriasis. Dr. Boh has published many articles including addressing today's topic about weight management and inflammation in psoriasis.  Brian Lehrschall has lived with psoriatic disease for three decades. He was first diagnosed with psoriasis about thirty years ago, at the age of 13 and with psoriatic arthritis at age 15. With the diagnosis came bullying which led to emotional eating. Per Brian “The more I ate, the worse the weight got.” Like most people who are overweight Brian tried to improve his health with diet and exercise. Along the way he learned about the connection between psoriasis and excess body weight. Eventually a physician recommended he try the weight loss medication GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1). Using this medication he has lost over 100 pounds and is still losing weight along with improving his overall health which includes his psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Brian joined the National Psoriasis Foundation in 2000 as a volunteer and has become an advocate for improving access to care and sharing his story about living with psoriatic disease.

In Plantation Worlds (Duke UP, 2024), Maan Barua interrogates debates on planetary transformations through the histories and ecologies of plantations. Drawing on long-term research spanning fifteen years, Barua presents a unique ethnography attentive to the lives of both people and elephants amid tea plantations in the Indian state of Assam. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, nearly three million people were brought in to Assam's plantations to work under conditions of indenture. Plantations dramatically altered the region's landscape, plundered resources, and created fraught worlds for elephants and people. Their extractive logics and colonial legacies prevail as durations, forging the ambit of infrastructures, labor, habitability, and conservation in the present. And yet, as the perspectives of the Adivasi plantation worker community and lifeworlds of elephants show, possibilities for enacting a decolonial imaginary of landscape remain present amid immiseration. From the margins of the Global South, Barua offers an alternative grammar for articulating environmental change. In so doing, he prompts a rethinking of multispecies ecologies and how they are structured by colonialism and race. Maan Barua is University Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Cambridge and author of Lively Cities: Reconfiguring Urban Ecology (University of Minnesota Press, 2023). Maan is an environmental and urban geographer whose research focuses on the economies, ontologies and politics of the living and material world. Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, development studies, hope studies, and ecological anthropology.

Debates about Ethnic Studies in K-12 and Higher Education have highlighted the importance of culturally inclusive pedagogy in schools. Despite discussions about Ethnic Studies, there is a more extended history of Mexican-origin people pushing for culturally responsive education. In Reading, Writing, and Revolution: Escuelitas and the Emergence of a Mexican American Identity in Texas (University of Texas Press, 2020), historian Philis M. Barragán-Goetz argues that through cultural negotiation, escuelitas (community schools) shaped Mexican American identity and civil rights activism in the late 19th and early 20th century. Barragán Goetz weaves in oral histories, government documents, newspapers, and archival sources to demonstrate the power in grassroots organizing for educational justice in Texas. She debunks a popular myth that Mexican Americans have not cared for education throughout history. Barragán Goetz writes that the progressive education movement in the late 19th century was not all that progressive if we examine the lived experienced of Mexican-origin people. Activists such as Idar Family, Villegas de Magnon, Maria Villarreal, Maria Renteria, and many involved in the two main Mexican American civil rights organizations of the time provided a foundation for Latina/os to be part of the fight for educational inclusion in the 20th century. Reading, Writing, and Revolution is not merely a book about educational history; it is a trailblazing study on how Mexican Americans have relied on any tools available to create a more inclusive educational system for themselves and their community. Philis M. Barragán Goetz is an Assistant Professor of History at Texas A&M University - San Antonio. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin.

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're joined by Dr. Lisa Wade, a sociologist, assistant professor at Tulane University, and the author of the landmark book American Hookup: The New Culture of Sex on Campus.  Her groundbreaking research draws from the intimate, real voices of college students and reveals that hookup culture isn't just about casual sex—it's a social system with its own rules, hierarchies, and pressures. We'll explore how this culture took hold and the surprising ways it shapes how we all date and connect cuz we all know hookup culture isn't limited to the college campus. We'll also look at trends, like why Gen-Z is having less sex than previous generations, how gender and power dynamics still influence intimacy, and what might be replacing the hookup script. So whether you've lived through hookup culture, opted out entirely, or are curious about how it's evolving today—this is a conversation about desire, connection, and the cultural forces that shape both. Let's do this Flirties, and meet Dr. Wade!

  Artist and author Maurice Sendak was able to achieve significant and enduring success in art and children's literature during his lifetime. But what secrets did he had to keep from his family, publishers, parents, librarians, and readers as a gay, Jewish man negotiating the field of children's literature?   Sendak wrote and illustrated books that nurtured children and adults alike. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are, in 1970 Sendak became the first American illustrator to receive the international Hans Christian Anderson Award, given in recognition of his entire body of work. Sendak's work has been the subject of several extensive retrospective art shows at prestigious museums across the country. Sendak lived in Ridgefield, Connecticut with his partner Dr. Eugene Glynn for over 50 years.   In this episode, my guest is Dr. Golan Moskowitz, author of Wild Visionary, Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context, published by Stanford University Press in 2021. Dr. Moskowitz is an Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies and a faculty member of the Grant Center for the American Jewish Experience at Tulane University.  He serves as Book Review Editor for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and as director of the Jewish American and Holocaust Literature Symposium. Golan is currently working on a cultural history of Jewish American involvement in the art of drag.   To contact Dr. Mostowitz, please see below: His faculty page: americanjewishexperience.org/gc-scholar/golan-moskowitz/   For speaking inquiries, please contact Tulane University's Jewish Studies Department: jewishstudies@tulane.edu   The Maurice Sendak Foundation: https://www.sendakfoundation.org/   Connecticut Landmarks LGBTQ+ Archives The archival collections of East Haddam's Palmer-Warner House include the diaries and letters of previous residents Frederic Palmer and his partner Howard Metzger. On view during the museum's open hours through August 23,2025, “Letters of Unity” explores the evolution of LGBTQ+ communication over more than a century through the stories of Frederic, Howard, and other members of LGBTQ+ communities.

“I don't understand why we're not shouting this from the rooftops, a simple medicine, a natural hormone, that can reduce the risk of both diabetes and breast cancer. That's incredibly important, isn't it?”    This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Franck Mauvais-Jarvis, Professor of Medicine at Tulane University and an endocrinologist specialising in metabolism.   In this episode, they dive deep into the science behind oestradiol's crucial role in maintaining a healthy metabolism, reducing inflammation throughout the body, and supporting memory and cognition.  Professor Mauvais-Jarvis explains how improving mitochondrial function, often referred to as the “powerhouse of the cell,” boosts metabolism and helps prevent metabolic diseases such as diabetes. He also highlights the vital, often overlooked role of testosterone in women's health.  Together they address common misconceptions stemming from the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and set the record straight on the benefits of body-identical hormones.   Be sure to check out Professor Franck Mauvais-Jarvis's book, Principles of Precision Hormone Therapy: Healthy Aging and Prevention of Chronic Disease, which presents cutting-edge scientific data and insights from leading experts, including Dr Louise Newson, on the vital role of hormone optimisation in healthy aging.  Available to watch on YouTube We hope you're enjoying season 2!

Gardens are often spaces of hope, expected to solve many problems in a city including food insecurity and climate resilience. In fact, there has been a historical trend of urban gardening gaining popularity during times of crisis. Gardens of Hope is the story of urban gardening in New Orleans in the decade after Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. Yuki Kato highlights the impact urban gardens have on communities after disasters and the efforts of well-intended individuals envisioning alternative futures in the form of urban farming. Drawing on repeated interviews with residents who began cultivation projects in New Orleans between 2005 and 2015, Kato explains how good intentions and grit were not enough to implement or sustain urban gardeners' visions for the post-disaster city's future. Coining the term “prefigurative urbanism,” Kato illustrates how individuals tried to realize alternative ways of living and working in the city through pragmatism and innovation. Gardens of Hope asks key questions about what inspires and enables individuals to pursue prefigurative urbanism and about the potential and limitations of this form of civic engagement to bring about short- and long-term changes in cities undergoing transformation, from gentrification, post-pandemic recovery, to climate change. Yuki Kato is Associate Professor at the Department of Sociology at Georgetown University. She is an urban sociologist whose research interests intersect the subfields of social stratification, food and environment justice, culture and consumption, and symbolic interaction. She is the co-editor of A Recipe for Gentrification: Food, Power, and Resistance in the City (NYU Press, 2020). Yadong Li is a socio-cultural anthropologist-in-training. He is registered as a PhD student at Tulane University. His research interests lie at the intersection of economic anthropology, development studies, hope studies, and the anthropology of borders and frontiers.
