Episode 3: A question for the culture

TBD

Cultural engagement and participation often leaves me feeling good, but this week (in connection with The Magic of Adolecence) we are talking about the evidence to support that feeling. From cultural pride providing support for oppressed groups, to cultural knowledge promoting positive wellbeing and development, family and community cultures seem to exist for a reason. Edwards et. al

Episode 2: SEL for Risk Prevention

TBD

Social Emotional Learning programs have, since their start, been successful risk-behavior prevention tactics. This episode connects the current conversation in The Magic of Adolecence, and Social Emotional Learning classes. Tancred et. al

Episode 1: Open Source Research: An Ethical Debate

11 March, 2025
