My Conversation With Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers, Author Of They Were Her Property: White Women As Slave Owners In The American South

Click Here To Listen Stephanie E Jones Rogers A bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy Bridging women’s history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery.

My Conversation With Robert P. Crease, Author The Workshop And the World: What Ten Thinkers Can Teach Us About Science And Authority

My Conversation With Dr. Laurie Helgoe, Author Of Fragile Bully: Understanding Our Destructive Affair With Narcissism in the Age of Trump

Click Here To Listen Laurie Helgoe Obsessive self-promotion, an aggressive triggering response, and retaliatory rants. “Both sensitive and incisive, beautifully capturing the paradoxical dynamic of narcissism―that the grandiosity and surrounding bravado belies an underlying fragility and brittleness.” ―Kenneth N.
