Dr. Del McWhorter, Professor of Philosophy and Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies, discusses her new book, Racism and Sexual Oppression in Anglo-America: A Genealogy. The premise of this book suggests that racism, sexual oppression, and discrimination against the disabled, the feeble, and the poor are intertwined, and that when the civil rights of one group are challenged, so are the rights of all.

Featured authors are Dr. Catherine Bagwell, Associate Professor of Psychology and Dr. Jennifer Erkulwater, Associate Professor of Political Science. Dr. Rick Mayes is another co-author, but he is unable to join us today due to a research leave project in Peru. Their new book, Medicating Children: ADHD and Pediatric Mental Health, integrates analyses of the clinical, political, historical, educational, social, economic and legal aspects of ADHD and the medications and treatment surrounding the mental disorder.

The Podcasts@Boatwright debut author is Dr. Doug Hicks, associate professor of leadership studies and religion and executive director of the Bonner Center for Civic Engagement. His new book, With God on All Sides: Leadership in a Devout and Diverse America, describes how our various religious traditions can help build common ground in America and how leaders can and should deal with religious diversity.
