"In 1918 when Charles Murray was applying for funding from the Rockefeller Foundation" uh pretty sure you meant Charles Davenport, Bea, since Charles Murray wasn't born until 1943

We review the Biden administration's new "Path Out of the Pandemic" and new employer vaccine mandate, contrasted against the quiet end of pandemic unemployment assistance on Labor Day. Then, we discuss the rise of Kathryn Paige Harden and her new book, "The Genetic Lottery," in light of her recent New Yorker profile.

The Eugenic Lottery (09/10/21)

This episode was originally released on January 25th. We are re-releasing it today as we approach the sixth month of the ongoing genocidal campaign on Palestine, with a new introduction and a brief update at the end.

Beatrice shares messages from Death Panel listeners in Gaza and speaks with Danya Qato about how the totalizing nature of the genocide of Palestine can't be captured in death and injury statistics alone.

This episode is for Z, J, R, A, M, G and S.

Beatrice, Artie and Abby discuss the recent book “Within Reason: A Liberal Public Health for an Illiberal Time,” which presents itself as chronicling public health’s many missteps since the beginning of the covid pandemic, but in practice wants to draw our attention to all of the wrong conclusions.

The book we discuss in this episode was also the subject of the NYT column we talked about in the episode "Masks and Symbols" in January, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/masks-and-01-29-97441318

Beatrice speaks with Sasha Warren about the lessons we can take from the history of anti-psychiatry movements, and other movements aligned against earlier forms of asylums and mental hospitals, with a particular focus on two groups active in the 1960s and 1970s: Institutional Psychotherapy in France and Democratic Psychiatry in Italy.

Beatrice speaks with Rasha Abdulhadi about the last six months in the escalation of genocidal violence against the people of Palestine, what has and hasn’t changed since the last time Rasha spoke with us on October 13th, and why appeals to “peace” are not the same as calls for liberation.

This is part one of our conversation with Rasha. Part two will be released next week in the public feed, alongside a transcript.

Beatrice, Jules and Artie discuss the findings, impact, and fallout of “The Cass Review,” the recently released 388 page NHS-commissioned report that has led media figures across the political spectrum to proclaim that the evidence supporting transition for young people is flawed. But the report, and the ensuing debate, are asking all the wrong questions.

Beatrice speaks with Nicki Kattoura and Charlie Markbreiter about the proliferation of Palestine solidarity encampments, their experiences at the encampments at CUNY and at Columbia, and to share a call to action for today, May Day: strike in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Note: This episode was recorded shortly before the coordinated raid on both the CUNY and Columbia encampments on the evening of April 30th. In our view the NYPD last night proved many of the points we make in the episode.

Beatrice and Phil speak with legal scholars Karen Tani and Katie Eyer about how the Supreme Court used cases related to disability and deinstitutionalization in the 1970s and 1980s as an opportunity to remake and expand its own powers, the role that these cases had in securing conservatives’ “New Federalism” revolution, and how disability cases continue to be a site of conservative judicial advancement today.
