Political theorist Lori Marso has been intrigued by filmmaker Chantal Ackerman for many years and has integrated Ackerman's work into her courses at Union College and into her writings and scholarship as well. So it is no surprise that Feminism and the Cinema of Experience (Duke UP, 2024) is both an academic and a personal journey into Ackerman's work but also the ways in which Ackerman's work and similar kinds of artistry have made their way into our imaginations and our cinematic spaces. In Feminism and the Cinema of Experience Marso uses both Ackerman's cinematic work and the written work of Simone de Beauvoir to frame a variety of approaches to thinking about feminism and contemporary film. As Marso explains, Ackerman's work attends to and notices women's experiences, often with the kinds of cinematography that are used to explore these experiences in ways that make audiences a bit uncomfortable. Part of the thrust of Marso's analysis is interrogating what it means to “feel like a feminist.” This is an important component to the discussion in Feminism and the Cinema of Experience since this feeling may be a space where we are puzzled by what we actually do feel and we need to accept that we are alright sitting with that discomfort and with that inconclusive affect. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience explores the ways that cinema and film shift our senses, through what we see, hear, and the focus of our thinking. Film is also a profoundly emotional experience, especially if we are in a theater with others or viewing it in a community. The discussions that we have with others about what we have seen and experienced are political—this is a form of political engagement and a kind of democratic engagement. Marso provides the reader with different genres and categories that help us think about films within the broader framework at hand. And within these sections, many more contemporary films are put into conversation with Ackerman's work. Finally, Marso wrote an epilogue of a kind that brings Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie into the discussion as well. This is an important and thoughtful examination of contemporary cinema—but it is also a valuable analysis of feminism and feminist thought as we see it all around us, but particularly in narrative form on the silver screen. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience is fascinating, engaging, and opens doors to new and different ways of thinking and seeing and experiencing.

Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall the founding of The Kappa Alpha Society, the oldest continuously existing college fraternity, established as a literary society at Union College, New York on 26th November, 1825. The founders, led by John Hart Hunter, sought camaraderie and intellectual discussions, creating a forum where they could break free from the constraints of the curriculum. The use of Greek letters and mottos added an element of secrecy, a common feature of fraternal orders during that era. Later, these societies evolved into fraternities with social elements, including rituals, signs, and boozy gatherings. In this episode, The Retropsectors uncover just how many US Preisdents have been members of a college fraternity; reveal Jon Hamm's involvement in an out-of-control hazing ritual; and explain how baked potatoes became an iconic foodstuff for students ever since this day in history… Further Reading: • ‘“Botany Bay”: The State of Society at Union College during the Early Nineteenth Century' (Andrew Cassarino, Union College, 2018): https://digitalworks.union.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1800&context=theses • ‘Mad Men star Jon Hamm was charged with hazing in college days' (The Guardian, 2015): https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/apr/10/mad-men-star-jon-hamm-was-charged-with-hazing-in-college-days • ‘Why colleges tolerate fraternities' (Vox, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVh7HP_wisw #1800s #US #White #Inventions This episode first premiered in 2023, for members of

Details of Andean glaciers title image -> A researcher collects a sample of bedrock from the Queshque Glacier in Peru. Credit - Emilio Mateo, Aspen Global Change Institute. An international team of scientists has discovered the glaciers in the Andes have shrunk to their smallest size in 11,700 years, revealing the tropics have already warmed beyond anything experienced during the entire Holocene age. Scientists have long predicted the world's glaciers will retreat as temperatures warm but the study's analysis of rock samples adjacent to four glaciers in the Andes Mountains shows that glacial retreat in the tropics has happened much faster and has already passed an alarming cross-epoch benchmark. New research shows Andean glaciers have retreated to lowest levels in 11,700 years As Earth's climate heats up, the findings signal more of the world's glaciers are likely retreating faster than predicted, possibly decades ahead of the climatological schedule. The findings have been published in the international journal Science and was led by Boston College in collaboration with scientists from University of Galway, UC Berkeley, University of Wisconsin, Tulane University, Aix-Marseille University, Aspen Global Change Institute, Ohio State University, Union College, Université Grenoble Alpes, and Purdue University. When glaciers shrink, the underlying bedrock is suddenly exposed to the stream of cosmic radiation constantly bombarding Earth. Similar to a sunburn, this radiation causes microscopic nuclear reactions inside the bedrock that produce rare isotopes, such as beryllium-10 and carbon-14. Scientists measure the concentration of these isotopes to calculate how long landscapes have been buried by ice and establish when glaciers were last as small as today. The rocks being exposed by melting glaciers in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia contain such small amounts of cosmogenic isotopes that the researchers were able to conclude these tropical ice masses have not been so small for at least 11,700 years, and potentially much longer. The rate at which the glaciers are melting suggests that the tropical climate can no longer be classified as belonging to the Holocene interglacial period, the last 11,700 years of relatively stable climate in which civilisation has flourished. Instead, the tropics may be best classified by a new period that will spell the end of glaciers in the high tropical Andes: the Anthropocene. University of Galway climate scientist and co-author of the study, Dr Gordon Bromley led the collection of bedrock samples in the high Sierra Nevada del Cocuy in Colombia. Dr Bromley said: "Glaciers are the poster child of human-caused global warming and are currently shrinking on a global scale as atmospheric temperatures rise. Our team uses glaciers as natural thermometers to track the magnitude of modern climate change and provide much-needed context of today's rapid ice loss. Using a revolutionary technique called cosmogenic nuclide surface-exposure dating, we have reconstructed the growth and decay of glaciers in the high-altitude tropical Andes, which is arguably the most sensitive environment on Earth to climate change. "We found that modern glaciers in Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia are smaller today than they have been for the entirety of the Holocene interglacial and conclude that the magnitude of modern ice loss is unprecedented. "This sets a grim new benchmark for our monitoring of human-driven climate change and also demonstrates how the high-altitude tropics, home to some of the most irreplaceable ecosystems on Earth, are also the most sensitive - and thus vulnerable - parts of our planet to global warming."

You may have heard the advice to not allow your gas tank to get too low before refueling. Is that really necessary? What's the harm if you let it go to E? And can't you just go by the thing on your dashboard that tells you how many miles until empty? This episode begins with an important explanation. https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/07/27/2386931/ Do you have things in your home you never use? Who doesn't? Clothes, appliances, books you will never read, and the list goes on. You probably even have boxes of things and you don't even remember what's inside those boxes. Getting rid of old stuff is hard for many of us – even if we never plan to use it. It turns out though, that if you could just get started you will likely find the experience rather satisfying according to Matt Paxton. Matt has spent over 20 years helping people confront their stuff. He was a featured cleaner on the TV show Hoarders and hosts the PBS series “Legacy List with Matt Paxton”. Matt is also author of the book Keep the Memories Lose the Stuff (https://amzn.to/3tWDiyj). Listen as he joins me to offer some great advice. We all experience the passage of time. Yet how we measure time has changed a lot. For most of human history, knowing the precise time wasn't all that that important. Today however, we use amazingly sophisticated instruments to keep very precise time all around the world. It is an absolute necessity. Joining me to explain why and discuss the fascinating story of how we keep time is Chad Orzel. He is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College in Schenectady, NY and author of the book A Brief History of Timekeeping: The Science of Marking Time, from Stonehenge to Atomic Clocks (https://amzn.to/3H9lVOI) Sometimes when you look at the front of a car, it seems to resemble a human face which sort of gives it a sense of personality. Some cars look happy while other cars have a more serious - almost intimidating or aggressive “faces.” You may have wondered if that was intentional or just a coincidence?

"When I took someone who felt lost, and I would suddenly see the clouds lift and that lightbulb come on for them – that's where I discovered my joy.” - Gina Creek  Did you know there's a difference between feeling happy and experiencing joy? Experts often describe happiness as a positive state of overall well-being and impacts your outlook on the meaning of life. However, joy is felt in moments such as listening to a friend make a toast or receiving a hug from a dear friend. When we experience joy, it's less about that overall sense of how life is going, and more about discovering what moments touch your heart. Join Dr. Michelle Robin as she invites Gina Creek to share how she began to lean into those joyful moments early in life, which eventually impacted her career path in a profound way and now helps her experience that same joy throughout the workday. She'll share about her journey into healthcare and why it was the people who mentored and surrounded her that became a key ingredient to learning what lit up her heart.  About Today's Guest:  Gina Creek is the Vice President and Chief People Officer for the Mid-America Region. She leads human resources at AdventHealth's hospitals and clinics in Kansas and Wisconsin, including AdventHealth Shawnee Mission, AdventHealth South Overland Park, AdventHealth Ottawa, and AdventHealth Durand.

She then led the system-wide Emerging Leader Program, developing high potential leaders for executive roles. Starting in 2018, she led AdventHealth's Leadership Institute, developing multi-level leadership programs and interventions to meet the needs of an 80,000-member workforce.
