Podcast appearances and mentions of valerie hudson

In today's episode we will be addressing feminism, violence against women and embracing our unique gifts as women with the ability to understand our power as a priestess, officiating as apprentices to our heavenly mother. It may seem random, but we're going to tie together as we talk about what it takes to become a Zion type community. Today I'm interviewing Dr. Valerie Hudson a major thought leader when it comes to priestisthood and embracing the theology of heavenly mother, dr. Hudson has published several articles under the pen name of VH Kessler in regards to these ideas on square 2. In our next episode will be doing a reading of some of these articles. Her spiritual work is a passion project that runs alongside her academic work where Dr. Valerie Hudson is a Distinguished scholar and expert on international security and foreign policy, she specializes in analysis of the relationship between gender and security, Dr. Hudson has developed a nation-by-nation database, called the WomanStats Database, containing empirical work linking the security of women to the security of states that is used by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the United Nations, and International Security. she has been named the top 100 most Influential Global Thinkers by foreign policy. Her findings have been widely published. She has also authored several books on the Security Implications of how Sex Shapes Governance and National Security world wide. Dr. Hudson sees her esteemed academic work and her spiritual journey playing hand and hand as she understands intimately violence against women and what she calls the curse of nations and how and what we must do to overcome the historical predicament of violence against women and the potential consequences if we do not overcome this horrific situation. In this podcast, we cover some amazing ground, there are definitely adult themes that are difficult to grapple with and may be inappropriate for little ears. We cover violence against women that could potentially be triggering if you have been exposed to these horrors. We encourage you to honor wherever you're at on these issues. If you feel like you need to skip our discussion about violence against women, you could skip to minute 45 where we will be focused on the helpful tools for embracing our full potential as women. With that said let's go ahead and jump right into my interview with Dr. Valerie Hudson. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support

Research in political science shows that collections and textbooks often mention race, gender, ethnicity, and religion – but they don't consistently use those lenses to understand politics. In Understanding Comparative Politics: An Inclusive Approach (CQ Press, 2024), Dr. Lisa A. Baglione creates a new kind of textbook that puts issues of race, gender, ethnicity, and religion into context and encourages critical thinking about world regions and individual countries through the lens of current events such as social justice movements and the COVID-19 pandemic. She helps readers make personal connections and actively learn and explore through maps, data, theory, and reflection questions. Dr. Lisa A. Baglione is a professor of Political Science at Saint Joseph's University who has conducted research in five areas over the course of her career. While they are varied, she has benefited from integrating insights from each: negotiations between adversaries, authoritarian transformation, peacebuilding, gender in politics, and pedagogy. Many listeners will be familiar with Dr. Baglione's Writing a Research Paper in Political Science: A Practical Guide to Inquiry, Structure, and Methods published by CQ Press. The book is in its 4th edition with a 5th edition in the works. She co-authored “'Pale, Male, and Stale?' An Analysis of Introductory Readers in Political Science” with Becki Scola and Laura Bucci. During our conversation Lisa mentions: Research on gender published by U of I (meaning Indiana) by Ekaterina M. Levintova and Alison Kathryn Staudinger Gender in the Political Science Classroom. Valerie Hudson, Donna Lee Bowen, and Perpetua Lynn Nielson, First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance & National Security Worldwide (New York: Columbia U Press, 2021) and Cynthia Enloe, Seriously: Investigating Crashes and Crises as if Women Mattered (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2013).

Join me for a conversation with special guest Dr. Valerie Hudson to learn about her work on international security and gender and why she chooses to believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Valerie shares how she was initially drawn to the sensible and practical nature of the gospel as a young teenage convert, and why she believes that sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ is “the most feminist act one can commit.” Valerie believes the hallmark of the true church of Jesus Christ is the doctrine of equal partnership between men and women, and she offers insights into how she has grounded herself in true and pure principals regarding the divinity of females as a member of the Church, a scholar, and a wife and mother.   “When I consider what's happening here on earth, I can cling to the heavenly vision and know there is a place where women are fully equal before God; where women's talents and skills are viewed as a contribution not as a distraction, and where men and women jointly and unanimously make all decisions concerning the human family; where there is no violence at all or coercion between men and women. I think that vision helps me do the work I do as a scholar.” -Dr. Valerie Hudson   Challenge: Read Dr. Valerie Hudson's fantastic 2013 Ensign (now Liahona) article, “Equal Partnership in Marriage.”  Resources:  Dr. Valerie Hudson full bio  Square Two Online Journal  April 2013 Ensign Article: “Equal Partnership in Marriage”  Book: Women in Eternity, Women in Zion  Sign up to receive monthly emails from Dr. Madsen about updated research, resources, and events at www.utwomen.org.

In this episode, Kim Landeen and Carolina Allen discuss our tenet, “We are each unique and worthy of respect” with Valerie Hudson, a global expert on women's issues.   Women Stats Project   The First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance and National Security Worldwide   “National security is integrally linked to what's going on with women.” - Valerie Hudson    What is a woman? - A woman is an adult human female   “I certainly feel exactly the same way [outraged] about men, males, who feel that they can take on the identity of those that they have oppressed and maltreated, not just for centuries, but for millenia, and claim to speak for us. It is an absolute outrage, it is male imperialism of the worst sort and should be resisted by all women of goodwill.” - Valerie Hudson   “You cannot make progress for women, if ‘women' includes ‘men.'” - Valerie Hudson    “We can't even know who we are and what we do and what our threats are if we cannot name ourselves as a sex class that has been maltreated by the other sex class for millenia.” - Valerie Hudson    “They're fleeing womanhood as if it were a house on fire!” - Valerie Hudson    “Now, the overwhelming majority of people who are transitioning are adolescent girls who have seen the porn and have said, ‘There is no way on earth that I am going to be that woman. I want out of womanhood.'” - Valerie Hudson    “I demand, and I will continue to demand, that there is a healing that occurs in our society, and I am grateful for the men that do step up; at Big Ocean we believe in the interdependence of men and women, and we have seen the possibility of interdependence where men and women rise together, respecting each other's differences and the strength in those differences. That is the protection that children need to be raised in.” - Kim Landeen   “This change needs to happen, but this change needs to happen first and foremost in the home.” - Kim Landeen   “The strongest thing you can do to save the future is raise your children in a household where the mother and father respect each other as equals, where there is no maltreatment, where there is no porn use, where there is no financial abuse or emotional abuse, where you give them a vision of why there are men and women and how that can be a good thing and not a horrible thing … what you pass on is what you live.” - Valerie Hudson  Sex and World Peace   The Case Against the Sexual Revolution - Louise Perry    The Veil is Beginning to Burst    Valerie M.

If my country, the United States, were to adopt a feminist foreign policy, I believe there would be a major, positive shift on this planet. I tweeted that sentiment after interviewing my current guest, Kristina Lunz.  I was a little nervous about doing it. I'm not sure exactly why.  Speaking your truth is always a little scary, especially for us women. But I got a lot of likes on Twitter from men and women alike. That was interesting to see. What is a feminist foreign policy? I will let Kristina mostly answer this question because she will do it much better than I. But I will say at the outset that, like this podcast, it supports processes and leadership that build common ground rather than dividing and polarizing people. It emphasizes more of the win-win, less win-lose to resolve differences. Frankly, the egocentric “I want it now and it's your fault that I can't get it”, the “blame game”, is wearing super thin on me. This includes the drumming up of conflict and zero-sum thinking, and attacking people to get your interests met as a style. It's not just developmentally juvenile, it's plain dangerous, especially if the person using it has a lot of power. And its end-game is a homogeneous world where one dominant cultural group, often white straight men, are on top, with the rest of us supporting them and dependent on them for handouts and our survival.  I know I'm not interested in that, and I know so many others -- men, women, people  -- who are not either. This podcast advocates empowering women, not just because it's an end in itself, which it is, but because it's the most powerful way to get to a more peaceful and sustainable planet for all of us.  To begin with, you can only have real democracy when you have real democracy starting at home — and better sex too, by the way. I hope you've noticed that what the countries with the best coronavirus responses have in common is that they are run by women. This is not because there aren't many great men leaders out there, but because these women are probably more effortlessly bringing the quality of collaboration to the table which is so sorely needed on the planet right now.  My greatest wish for the silver lining of this pandemic is that it deeply underscores our interdependence and need to further develop our collaborative skills.  As Kurt Lewin, a grandfather of social psychology said long ago, everyone understands authority, but democracy is a learned behavior. The Centre for Feminist Foreign Policy (CFFP) was co- founded by my current guest, Kristina Lunz. It's an international research and advocacy organization, was established in 2016, and is dedicated to promoting feminist foreign policy across the globe. The problem CFFP addresses is outdated, patriarchal structures, and their vision is to create an intersectional approach to foreign policy globally. Kristina tells me that research shows that… "The most significant factor toward whether a country is peaceful within its own borders or towards other countries is the level of gender equality. So, if that's true, it's pretty easy. It just means that there won't be any peace without feminism." Kristina is an award-winning human rights activist, co-founder and Germany Director of the Center for Feminist Foreign Policy and advisor to the German Federal Foreign Office. She was also recently named on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. She graduated with distinction from University College London School of Public Policy, and did a second Masters at the Oxford Department of International Development in diplomacy. Her activism started at Oxford and has continued ever since. I've learned so much from doing this episode and talking to Kristina. Here are a few of the many things that stand out: I spent years traveling to The Hague to provide intercultural negotiation skills programs for ICTY, the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia), but wasn't aware until now that 100 years ago, during the First World War, about 1500 women came to the Hague from many parts for the International Congress for Women. They called for an end to the First World War and to establish a set of resolutions to avoid another World War. These included, for example, the dismantling of the military-industrial complex, the prioritization of mediation for conflict resolution, and the democratization of foreign policy, reverberations of themes which have motivated me throughout my life.  History is always so interesting. I found it deeply moving that Sweden describes its government as “feminist” and created the first feminist foreign policy (for modern times) in 2014. This was followed by Canada, followed by Mexico. Check out the CFFP website to see the history of feminist foreign policy. It shows what's possible. I found it interesting to hear about the actor, Emma Watson's conversation with the academic Valerie Hudson, and the latter's new book called The First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance and National Security Worldwide. I can't wait to read it and hope to get Hudson on the podcast soon. In reading the transcript of that conversation, I learned from Emma Thompson that I can refer to myself as “self-partnering” rather than “single”. I've enjoyed my journey of the last 10 years living without a partner, though I've dated some wonderful guys. Self-partnering somehow struck me as empowering because living without the protection of a guy can still feel frightening to so many women around the world, myself included. So I'll stop there and let you listen to Kristina Lunz, a woman who is really on fire, and is going to do a lot to contribute to our common great future.

Valerie was in Provo not long ago and sat down for a very intriguing conversation Aubrey Chaves, Cami Frost and Lindsay Broadbent of Faith Matters. We should note that since this conversation was recorded before the October 2019 General Conference, some of the issues on which Dr. Hudson was suggesting change have now been addressed.See Valerie's essay, The Two Trees, here: https://www.fairmormon.org/conference/august-2010/the-two-trees

About 75% of the world's population live in societies that practice of form of dowry payment. This is also known as brideprice and it is essentially wealth that a potential husband must pay to the family of his would-be wife. But in this way, brideprice acts as a kind of regressive flat tax that younger, and generally poorer men must pay to wealthier, older men. Hilary Matfess, a PHD candidate at Yale University, undertook a wide study of the impact of fluctuations in brideprice on broader issues related to conflict. She found that there is a positive correlation between changes in brideprice and the outbreak of violent conflict. In other words, when the cost of getting married increases, so too does the probability of armed conflict. Hilary Matfess published her findings a paper published in the 2017 issues of the academic journal International Security. In it, she and her co-author Valerie Hudson identify how the cost of getting married can lead to the outbreak of violent conflict and war. Anyone who has ever taken an international relations or security class knows that there are volumes of research on what causes the outbreak of violent conflict. Through case studies, which Matfess discusses in this conversation, the paper demonstrates how fluctuations in brideprices can lead to the outbreak of violent conflict. It is fascinating research with very real-world policy implications.   This is a re-broadcast of an August 2017 episode.     Become a premium subscriber to unlock bonus episodes, earn other rewards, and support the show!

My guest today, Hillary Matfess of Yale, has discovered that there is a link between bride prices and violent conflict.     She is the co-author of a fascinating new paper that appears in the current, Summer 2017 issue of the academic journal International Security. In it, she and her co-author Valerie Hudson identify how the cost of getting married can lead to the outbreak of violent conflict and war.    Brideprice  is sometimes known more commonly as dowry payments, but it is essentially, as Matfess explains, wealth that would-be grooms must transfer to the family of his would-be wife. In this way, brideprice acts as a regressive flat tax that poorer younger men pay to wealthier, older men. 75% of the world's population lives in societies that practice brideprice in one form or another    Anyone who has ever taken an international relations or security class knows that there are volumes of research on what causes the outbreak of violent conflict.

Now that Hillary Clinton is out of government—for the time being at least—this is an opportune time to reflect on the origins and development of the Hillary Doctrine, the challenges and controversy it engendered while she was Secretary of State, and how the Doctrine has affected both the United States and other nations. Is the Hillary Doctrine truly in the American national interest, and furthermore, is it in the interests of countries troubled by war and instability? With the end of her tenure, will U.S. foreign policy continue to focus on women and girls and to what extent does it match the reality of U.S. government policy and programming? In this discussion, we will discuss whether the Hillary Clinton Doctrine will indeed bring about a more stable future for the nations of the world. Speaker: Valerie Hudson, Professor and George H.W. Bush Chair, Texas A&M University

[display_podcast] Valerie Hudson headlines the 16th Dialogue podcast in her stop at the Miller Eccles group. There she discusses her new book Sex and World Peace (co-authored by Valerie Hudson, Bonnie Ballif-Spanvill, Mary Caprioli and Chad Emmett). From the Miller Eccles site: "(this book) unsettles a variety of assumptions in political and security discourse, demonstrating that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and its incidence of conflict and war. Much of the data underlying Dr. Hudson's research comes from the WomanStats Project, a research and database project housed at BYU that 'seeks to collect detailed statistical data on the status of women around the world, and to connect that data with data on the security of states.' This database has the most comprehensive compilation of information on the status of women in the world." The post Dialogue Lectures #16 w/Valerie Hudson appeared first on Dialogue Journal.
