Robert Putnam<\/a> (Professor Emeritus of Public Policy at Harvard University) was interviewed in a segment for PBS News Hour<\/em><\/a> on discussing the effects of social isolation on civic engagement: \u201cThat is a primary cause of the Trump phenomenon. \u2026 When people are socially isolated, as we are increasingly, they become vulnerable to populist appeals.\u201d Putnum\u2019s most recent book, The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do it Again<\/em><\/a>, highlights the parallels between modern American and the late 1800s\u2013a deeply fragmented, individualistic, and polarized time period. Putnam describes how an \u201cexplosion\u201d of new civic, religious, and social groups sparked a \u201cmoral revival\u201d that led people to think in more collective ways: \u201cPeople began to say, wait a minute, it\u2019s not all about us. We have obligations to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Florence Becot<\/a> (Lead of the Agricultural Safety and Health Program at Penn State University) appeared on The FarmHouse<\/em><\/a>\u2013a podcast by Lancaster Farming\u2013to discuss the unique stressors on women in agriculture. Becot described that many women take on \u201cinvisible work\u201d on farms, including raising children while still performing farm work. \u201cRaising children on the farm is wonderful. So many moms talked about how much they love having the children around. They wouldn\u2019t do it any other way,\u201d Becot said. \u201cBut the reality is, we\u2019ve talked to women farmers who said if I was a nurse at the hospital, I wouldn\u2019t be allowed to bring my kid. Why is there this weird expectation that I should have my kid with me when I\u2019m driving this really heavy piece of machinery?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Battle for Tibet<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>a new documentary from FRONTLINE<\/em><\/a>, examines China\u2019s rule over Tibet. The film features Tibetan sociologist Gyal Lo<\/a>\u2019s study of Chinese boarding schools for Tibetan children. The Chinese government claims that these schools promote \u201chuman rights and cultural heritage protection.\u201d However, Lo found that there were two main focuses in the boarding schools: \u201cOne is to instill the communist ideology and the second is to instill Chinese culture. These two subject areas of teaching are being implemented to change the Tibetan children\u2019s mindset.\u201d Lo warns that \u201cOver the next 15 to 20 years, if boarding schools continue, Tibetan national culture and identity will be completely destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
