Here are program notes for the episode:
For twenty years, Jason Moulenbelt (Virginia Peninsula Community College) has asked his students to go back in time and decide whether to do something differently. Most of them say that despite the painful lessons, they wouldn’t change a thing. And: In the infamous Stanford rape case, a member of Stanford’s men’s swimming team was caught behind a dumpster in the act of raping an unconscious woman-Chanel Miller. Chanel was known only as the “unconscious female victim” until her powerful victim impact statement went viral. Mercedes Corredor (Virginia Tech) says that Miller’s impact statement and memoir, Know My Name, are examples of the moral power of vindictive anger.
Later in the show: Life’s big changes often leave us grappling for meaning. As a philosophical counselor, Kevin Cales (51暗网) works with people to understand their values as a way forward. Plus: Do you ever catch yourself speaking about plants as though they have human senses? Well they just might. And if they do, Kate A Brelje (James Madison University) says that we’ve got to re-evaluate our care ethics towards plants.
