21: Christianity in American Politics

Dr. Nadia Kizenko joins Ariana Hones (MDiv '25) in conversation to discuss Kizenko's research on Orthodox liturgy in Ukraine. The conversation is twofold. First, Kizenko explores the liturgical practices of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. She discusses how these two competing churches, both which can claim canonical status, respond liturgically in times of crisis. Second, Kizenko speaks about her most recent project creating a vesper service and how liturgy functions as a means to include or exclude different identities. Throughout the conversation, Kizenko makes the case for paying close attention to liturgy and the ways in which Orthodox tradition across time provides elements of subversion for its participants.

The Intelligence: Going back to raid school

Ever since there have been smartphones and social media, there have been concerns about how they might be affecting children. Over the past decade, doctors have seen a decline in mental health in the young in much of the rich world. But whether that rise can be attributed to technology is still a matter of fierce debate. Nevertheless, <a href="https://www.economist.com/science-and-technology/2024/04/17/what-is-screen-time-doing-to-children?utm_campaign=a.io&utm_medium=audio.podcast.np&utm_source=babbage&utm_content=discovery.content.anonymous.tr_shownotes_na-na_article&utm_term=sa.listeners" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">demands are growing</a> to proactively restrict teenagers’ access to phones and social media, just in case.
