  The Pandemic Workplace - How We...

  A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. 
   
  In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. 
   
  Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

  Transforming Race Conversations...

  A guide to supporting our emergence from the tight grip of race discomfort. 
   
   
   
  If we are to address the injustice of racism, we need to have the "race conversation." All too often, however, attempts at this conversation are met with silence, denial, anger, or hate. This is largely because the construct of race resides not only in our minds, but principally in the body. In order to have productive conversations about race and racism, a paradigm shift is needed—one which will empower us to remain present and embodied, rather than constricted with fear, regardless of our racial identities. 
   
   
   
  Here, psychotherapist Eugene Ellis explores what is needed for this bodily shift to occur as he unpacks the visceral experience of the race conversation. He offers a trauma-informed, neurophysiological approach that emphasizes resourcing, body awareness, mindfulness, and healing. Transforming Race Conversations is essential for therapy practitioners as well as anyone looking to engage more effectively in the ongoing dialogue around race.

  The Frogs

  Aristophanes

  In The Frogs, the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes crafts a comedic and satirical journey to the underworld, where the god Dionysus seeks to bring back a great tragic playwright to save Athens. Disguised as Heracles, Dionysus embarks on a series of farcical adventures, culminating in a contest between the spirits of Aeschylus and Euripides to determine who is the superior dramatist. Blending sharp wit, literary critique, and political commentary, the play mocks contemporary Athenian culture while celebrating the power of art to shape society. With its lively dialogue, clever wordplay, and fantastical premise—including a chorus of frogs whose croaking becomes a memorable refrain—The Frogs remains a brilliant example of classical comedy that explores the role of tragedy, leadership, and the moral health of the state. Entertaining and thought-provoking, it offers enduring insights into literature, democracy, and human folly.
