I sit down with Valerie Hudson and discuss feminism and being who you are in spite of the pressure to conform. we also touch on subjects like mental illness, her conversion, and the ordain women movement.

Dr. Valerie Hudson joined the faculty of the Bush School in 2012 as the George Bush Chair. An expert on international security and foreign policy analysis, she received her PhD in political science at The Ohio State University and comes to Texas A&M University from a senior faculty position at Brigham Young University.

In 2009, Foreign Policy named her one of the top 100 Most Influential Global Thinkers. Her co-authored book, Bare Branches: Security Implications of Asia’s Surplus Male Population, and the research it presents, received major attention from the media with coverage in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Financial Times, Washington Post, BBC, CNN, and numerous other outlets. The book also received two national book awards. Her latest co-authored book is Sex and World Peace, published by Columbia University Press; and her current book project is The Hillary Doctrine: How Sex Came to matter in American Foreign Policy.

Dr. Hudson developed a nation-by-nation database on women (http://womanstats.org) that triggered both academic and policy interest (the latter includes its use by both the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and various agencies of the United Nations). Using this data, Hudson and her co-principal investigators from The WomanStats Project have published a wide variety of empirical work linking the security of women to the security of states, with research appearing in International Security, the Journal of Peace Research, Political Psychology, and Politics and Gender.

Dr. Hudson offers core courses on research methods for national security and defense students, adding important new seminars on women and nations as well as foreign policy analysis. Throughout her career, Dr. Hudson has demonstrated a strong commitment to collaboration with other scholars both in her own field and in other disciplines, and received significant research grants, including grants from the National Science Foundation, to support her work in international affairs. Her research and teaching experience is also complemented by three major teaching awards and numerous research awards.

Hudson served as vice president of the International Studies Association for 2011-2012. She is a founding editorial board member of Foreign Policy Analysis, and also serves on the editorial boards of Politics and Gender and International Studies Review.

Today we talk about the far reaching repercussions beyond the sole issue of the priesthood ban. I attempt to show our Church is growing up and while this announcement provides problematic issues to work on such as defining Doctrine and how we as members dissent it also shows great maturation of the Church and may indeed usher in a whole new paradigm in which we view what the Church is and how we define it.

Today’s episode focuses on discussing some assumptions about what we know about the 12 Apostles in the Meridian of Time. We use as a backdrop for this episode an article titled “Fishers of Fish, Fishers of Men” where non LDS author Jerome Murphy-O’Connor discusses the Historical context of these men were. We end this episode then relaying how this understanding changes our assumptions about another scripture.

[ WARNING — WARNING — WARNING] – This episode contains mature conversation that may be inappropriate for young listeners.

Today we sit down with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife, licensed psychotherapist, who Specializes in Individual and Couples Counseling. We talk today about LDS sexuality, how it is affected by LDS Culture and Doctrine and how to battle sexual suppression found in LDS culture. We also specifically address the M word and O##l S## within LDS culture and Doctrine. We end speaking how to be more proactive in stopping sexual abuse. While this is a sensitive and at times embarrassing topic, it is a crucial discussion to healthy LDS relationships.

GARDEN OF EDEN: LITERAL OR FIGURATIVE

http://mormondiscussion.podbean.com” class=”bbcode_url”>http://mormondiscussion.podbean.com

We are in our classes taught the creation, the fall, God’s dealings with his first two mortal children Adam and Eve. Many LDS see these accounts as absolutely literal with little room for deviation. Sticking with the MormonDiscussion Mantra…. We tear it down and build it back up again. Let’s hold on tight… and let’s take a closer look

I just wanted to let you know that I started listening to the podcast, and I’m really enjoying it. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into supporting those of us who don’t fit into the traditional orthodoxy.

[Anonymous]

Thank you. Messages like this keep me going. Thank you for listening.

I too just wanted to say thank you. The effort and heart put into shows. Like wise I actually learn things, which in growing up learning has become very stale. So think you for reintegrating me and giving me more options to view things in expanding my mind which had secede being expanded at church. Thank you.
