Greg Brownderville, ÃÛÌÒ½´English professor, poet and editor of the quarterly literary magazine Southwest Review. Greg shares how a multipurpose muse influenced him to create three award-winning books of poetry, the “Fire Bones” go-show and his first musical album, Beekeeper Spaceman.
Jill DeTemple, religious studies professor at ÃÛÌÒ½´Dallas. In this polarized world it's easy to imagine civility is dead during discussions about presidential politics, religion, guns, abortion or Israel-Gaza. But it doesn't have to be that way, says ÃÛÌÒ½´Professor Jill DeTemple. She explains how sharing “stories” can break down barriers in the classroom and the community.
Christina Sautter, ÃÛÌÒ½´law professor specializing in business and investing. She focused on so-called "retail investors" who mostly rely on online stock purchases and advice from "no fee" or lower fee brokerages.
Natalie Nanasi, ÃÛÌÒ½´law professor and Director of the Judge Elmo B. Hunter Legal Center for Victims of Crimes Against Women. She discussed a program carried out by her legal clinic to expunge crimes against "criminalized survivors": women who are victims of domestic abuse but sometimes charged with bogus crimes (often by their abusers). Also participating in the podcast: Demetrice M. Lopez, an ÃÛÌÒ½´law professor who assisted in the program; Erica Mellon, ÃÛÌÒ½´law student who participated in the program.
