Muscular Christianity with Dr. Clifford Putney May 11, 2021

Show notes

Dissatisfied with a Victorian culture focused on domesticity and threatened by physical decline in sedentary office jobs, American men in the late nineteenth century sought masculine company in fraternal lodges and engaged in exercise to invigorate their bodies. One form of this new manly culture, developed out of the Protestant churches, was known as muscular Christianity. In this fascinating study, Clifford Putney discusses how Protestant leaders promoted competitive sports and physical education to create an ideal of Christian manliness.

Transitional Justice And Healing America's Racial Wounds with Dr. Colleen Murphy Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

The aftermath of the murder of George Floyd ripped the scab off of America's racial history. This country has yet to formally address its racial history. Transitional justice provides us an opportunity and move our country forward. Dr. Colleen Murphy joins Anthony Bradley explain what transitional justice is and how it can help America healing our racial wounds. Many countries have attempted to transition to democracy following conflict or repression, but the basic meaning of transitional justice remains hotly contested. In this book, Colleen Murphy analyses transitional justice - showing how it is distinguished from retributive, corrective, and distributive justice - and outlines the ethical standards which societies attempting to democratize should follow. She argues that transitional justice involves the just pursuit of societal transformation. Such transformation requires political reconciliation, which in turn has a complex set of institutional and interpersonal requirements including the rule of law. She shows how societal transformation is also influenced by the moral claims of victims and the demands of perpetrators, and how justice processes can fail to be just by failing to foster this transformation or by not treating victims and perpetrators fairly. Her book will be accessible and enlightening for philosophers, political and social scientists, policy analysts, and legal and human rights scholars and activists.
