The last 40 years have seen a sharp decline in America’s manufacturing industries with growing joblessness in many previously prosperous industrial regions of the US. 

But how and why did these job losses happen, and how did the US move from an economy based on manufacturing to one that’s now based on services? And what can be done to help workers affected by technological disruption in what are called “left-behind places”?

To discuss the origins of job loss, left behind places, and the place-based policies that can help them, in November 2025, the Phelan US Centre spoke to Professor Gordon Hanson, the Peter Wertheim Professor in Urban Policy at Harvard Kennedy School. Professor Hanson is best known for his research on the labor market consequences of globalization, including pioneering work on the China trade shock.

This episode was produced by Chris Gilson and Avan Fata.

The Reverend Dr. John F. Ross is the Executive Director of The Saint John’s Bible Heritage Program at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota, where he shepherds global engagement with the Saint John’s Bible—the first handwritten illuminated Bible in over 500 years. In this episode of The Leader’s Way, Brandon Nappi asks John to tell the story of how this artistic and beautiful Bible came to be, from the early inspirations of renowned calligrapher Donald Jackson to the Bible's commissioning by a Benedictine monastery and its subsequent travels across the world.

78: Saint John's Bible with John Ross

What if the key to better health isn’t just in what you eat or how much you exercise—but in how you interact with the world around you?

Optimize reveals the cutting-edge science of quantum biology, showing how light, water, sound, and even human energy directly influence your body at the cellular level.

We are biologically wired to exchange energy with our environment—yet modern life has severed this essential connection. Sunlight directs hormone signaling and immune function. Electrical fields guide cellular repair. Sound waves can alter the structure of water inside our bodies. Even walking barefoot on the earth reduces inflammation.

In this groundbreaking book by quantum biology expert and naturopathic physician Dr. Catherine Clinton, you’ll discover:

How to harness natural energy sources for optimal health
The surprising role of light and sound in cellular function
Quantum biology’s impact on longevity, immunity, and vitality
Simple, science-backed practices to reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence

Rooted in the latest research, Optimize presents a revolutionary new paradigm for wellness—one that empowers you to align with nature’s forces for deep healing, increased energy, and a longer, healthier life.

Listen to an excerpt of THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM by Laura Dave and narrated by Rebecca Lowman, Tessa Albertson, Colin Donnell, and CJ Wilson. 

THE FIRST TIME I SAW HIM Audiobook Excerpt

‘Emergency. Which service do you require?’

‘He’s trying to burn down my house. He’s going to kill me.’

They thought it was another false alarm. They were wrong.

This page-turning crime thriller debut is perfect for fans of Nadine Matheson, Sam Holland, and Helen Fields. 

 As the acrid smoke clears, Detective Liz Field can only watch as the charred remains of Anne Evans’s home slowly collapse – with her body still trapped inside.

A heroic Response officer almost died trying to save Anne from the fire, but he was too late.

When they pick through the rubble, it seems the blaze that tore through her house left nothing behind.

Detective Field is handed the case, but resources are already stretched thin following a high-profile shooting just days earlier. Despite years of frantic 999 calls and false alarms, it appears no one knows much about Anne. The person in the system only appeared nine years ago. But why?

The more Field discovers, the more disturbing the picture becomes.

Anne had been written off as a nuisance – a paranoid recluse. But is it really paranoia, if all that you feared comes true?

‘Sweet, charming, and completely delightful!'- Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop 

 A standalone cozy romance filled with books, baby dragons, and happily ever after guaranteed!

Emmy has an enemy, and his name is Luke. The good news? She rarely sees him. The bad news? When she does, she (and her pet dragons) are reminded just how handsome he is.

Besides, Emmy is too busy focusing on her dragon-fuelled business to have time for love. But when both she and Luke approach the same local investor for funding, she’s suddenly unable to avoid him. The kookie investor insists they must compete for the cash by working at the local failing baby dragon bookshop to prove their magical business knowledge.

Determined to win the funding, Emmy dives into the task. But making a very flammable bookshop fit for baby dragons is no small feat, and it seems these rivals may need to join forces. Could Luke and Emmy’s fiery animosity spark something more between them?
