NightSide News Update. We kick off the program with four news stories and different guests on the stories we think you need to know about! For one of our segments this evening, we will talk about a couple of old Christmas Tree Shops signs that will be auctioned off for a good cause!
Chasing Bandits. This evening, we will talk about the United States’ war on terror and its complicated history of military engagements against unconventional forces dating back well over a century. Nichols Professor Mike Neagle will join us to chat about his book, "Chasing Bandits", which examines the contemporary war on terror through a wider historical lens. We'll dig in deeper to how the U.S. has and is tackling the war on terror, different approaches by different presidents or administrations, the types of terror threats and organizations & more!
Can I Say That? Many health experts say that freedom of expression of oneself is good for public health and personal wellbeing. However, today as much as 84% of Americans believe that self-censorship due to the fear of retaliation (like cancel culture, job termination, ostracization) is a "very serious" or "somewhat serious" problem. Do you feel comfortable speaking your mind freely today? We will be joined by Dr. Chloe Carmichael, a clinical psychologist, who will chat with us about what she's seen not only in her own experience spending thousands of hours with clients about today's societal anxieties but how something has changed over the past couple of years whereas a society we no longer feel safe expressing ourselves.
20th Hour. For NightSide’s last hour of the week we like to keep it light and have fun. Join Dan at 11PM this evening where he’ll introduce the topic for you!
