Episode 35 takes a first ride across the border with the novel that would elevate McCarthy's profile and career.  All the Pretty Horses won McCarthy the National Book Award following its publication in 1992 and was McCarthy's first best-selling novel. Our guest for this episode is Dr. Allen Joseph. A Hemingway scholar as well as a Cormackian, Allen Joseph is a past president of the Ernest Hemingway Foundation and Society and a past president of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association. He is the author of 15 books, including On Hemingway and Spain: Essays and Reviews 1979 – 2013; White Wall of Spain: The Mysteries of Andalusian Culture; and For Whom the Bell Tolls: Ernest Hemingway's Undiscovered Country. He has edited four critical editions of the poetry of Federico García Lorca and a book of translations of Lorca's poetry and prose, Only Mystery: Federico García Lorca's Poetry in Word and Image. He has published numerous articles on Spain and Hispanic culture in the Atlantic, the New Republic, the Virginia Quarterly, the North Dakota Quarterly, and New York Times Book Review, as well as many publications in scholarly journals. Additionally he has published numerous essays on McCarthy, some of which have been collected in  On Cormac McCarthy: Essays on Mexico, Crime, Hemingway and God, published by New Street in 2016. Recently, he has translated with his daughter poet Laura Juliet Wood the work of Spanish poet Fernando Valverde, and their translation of The Insistence of Harm appeared in 2019 from the University Press of Florida. Future projects include a thematic memoir, centered on Josephs' literary and taurine experiences from 1962 to the present. He is University Research Professor and Professor of Spanish at the University of West Florida where he has taught for more than five decades.  Thanks to Thomas Frye, who composed, performed, and produced the theme music and interludes for READING MCCARTHY.  The views of the host and his guests do not necessarily reflect the views of their home institutions or the Cormac McCarthy Society.

If you have turned on your television recently, you have probably seen a lot of debate over books in general – from what should be taught in schools, to particular books being in libraries, to book burnings sponsored by pastors. This week on the program, I discuss research about book bans with Carol Mason, who is University Research Professor at the University of Kentucky and the author of "Reading Appalachia From Left to Right," and Emily Knox, Associate Professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the author of "Book Banning in 21st Century America."

Catch up on what you missed on an episode of The Richard Syrett Show. Author of "Altered Inheritance", Philosopher, & University Research Professor at Dalhousie University, Dr. Francoise Baylis explains why Canadians should be fighting non-stop proof-of-immunity cards. Dr. Patrick Phillips joins us in our Health/Medical segment. Conservative author, columnist, & host of “The Drew Allen Show” podcast, Drew Thomas Allen talks about Barack Obama's big birthday bash. Also, President and CEO, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, (CIJA) Shimon Koffler Fogel on a Muslim conference featuring a speaker, Tareq Al-Suwaidan, who has been accused of antisemitism.

What are the ethical limits of human genetic engineering? While there may never be a firm answer to this question, it is critically important to contemplate possible limitations. Listen in to learn: The differences between genetic selection and genetic design. The technologies that fall on either side of the divide between selection and design. How biases shape our perception of which traits are desirable and which traits are not. Françoise Baylis, University Research Professor and author of Altered Inheritance, joins the podcast to discuss the bioethics of human genetic engineering. The focus is on heritable human genome editing where it is anticipated that genetic modifications will be passed on to future generations. This prospect raises a number of challenging ethical questions likely to become increasingly important over time. Visit https://francoisebaylis.ca for more information.

In Canada and around the world, anxious, weary populations are looking forward to returning to something that will approximate normal life. That return is predicated on, among other things, mass Covid-19 vaccination efforts that continue along slow and steady. As more of us get the jab, states, including Canada, are considering vaccine certification programs for domestic use, foreign travel, or both. But concerned individuals, including health, privacy, and social science experts, are raising a number of concerns with the idea. While a vaccine “passport” might intuitively seem like a good idea, it's fraught with risks and trade-offs, leaving us to ask: Should we adopt vaccine certification programs? On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Françoise Baylis, University Research Professor, bioethicist, and author of Altered Inheritance: CRISPR and the Ethics of Human Genome Editing.

This show is part of our ongoing coverage of topics relating to Maine's bicentennial . What is the geologic makeup and history of Maine? We find out what geologists know--and how they learn--about Maine's bedrock formations and how periods of erosion, mountain-building, metamorphism and other activity have led to what we have today. A combination of rock types distinguishes our state, from half a billion years ago until today. We will also hear about the new Mineral & Gem Museum—what they feature, and what gems and minerals are unique to Maine. Bob Marvinney , Maine State Geologist William “Skip” Simmons , Research Director Maine Mineral and Gem Museum ; University of New Orleans Emeritus Professor of Mineralogy and University Research Professor

With a potential vaccine against Covid-19 many months away, some governments are exploring the idea of proof-of-immunity cards for Covid-19. Francoise Baylis says we should fight tooth and nail against proof-of-immunity cards. Francoise Baylis is University Research Professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax and co-author with Harvard molecular biologist Natalie Kofler of an opinion piece published recently on CBC online. I spoke with Francoise Baylis on May 12.

She is a frequent guest on CBC and Radio Canada. The focus of her research is on issues of women's health and assisted reproductive technologies, but her research and publication record also extend to such topics as research involving humans (including human embryo research), gene editing, novel genetic technologies, public health, the role of bioethics consultants, and neuroethics. She has a forthcoming book on ethics and heritable genome editing with Harvard University Press. In this episode, we talk about the ethics behind CRISPR-cas9 genome editing technology. The difference between using it in somatic cells versus germline cells; he fuzzy line that separates enhancement from therapy; the example of improving IQ; how this technology can increase the gap between rich and poor, taking it to the whole new level of biological differences; individual and social considerations; and animal ethics. We finish off by talking a little bit about Dr. Baylis' upcoming book.

Pradyumna P. Karan, Professor of Geography, University of Kentucky, discusses how Japanese geography shapes Japanese society. Earthquake, tsunami and the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl: The triple disasters of March 2011 hit Japan when it was already feeling vulnerable, its confidence shaken by debt, deflation and political inertia. And yet, those terrible days also revealed Japan’s strengths, most notably the sense of community that created order and dignity amidst the rubble. The lecture will highlight geographic realities of contemporary Japan. Within the context of geography, it will discuss the environmental, socioeconomic and political challenges facing Japan today, and how Japan is responding to these challenges. P. P. Karan is University Research Professor of Geography and Japan Studies and Distinguished Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Kentucky. He has held professorships at distinguished universities in the United States, Canada, Japan, Asia and Europe. He has authored and edited several books on Japan including The Japanese City (1997), The Japanese Landscapes (1998), Japan in the Bluegrass (2001), Japan in the 21st Century (2005), and Local Environmental Movements: A Comparative Study of Japan and the United States (2008). His current research in Japan involves geographic analysis of recovery and reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster of March 2011 in Tohoku region.
