September 22, 2017

With the UN General Assembly in session this week, many nations vocally criticize the “America First” doctrine; the UN platform statement explicitly asks if the world is now ‘190 countries v. Trump’, and if the US is no longer 'indispensable’ on the global stage. As tensions mount between our nation and North Korea, Syria, China—as well as with some of closest allies—where does the US’s responsibility to the rest of the world begin...and end? Join the debate hosted by Carlos Watson and featuring guests Hill Harper, Yael Eisenstat, Emma Ashford, and Cliff Maloney.

6. Is Sexual Harassment Inevitable in the Workplace?
October 13, 2017
26 min
How common is sexual harassment in the workplace? This week, Hollywood mega mogul Harvey Weinstein is fired amid accusations of sexual impropriety and rape. His high profile personal case draws attention to other corporations embattled in sexual harassment dramas, from the fast food industry, to Wall Street, medicine, and even legal professions. And while most of these cases never make headlines, they do impact the women (and, in 17% of formal cases, men) involved. Join the debate hosted by Carlos Watson with guests Zerlina Maxwell, Hitha Herzog, Tomi-Ann Roberts, and Inez Feltscher.
