It's safe to say there has been a huge uproar surrounding the first designer babies. However, the sheer possibility genetic manipulation can exist has opened a door that cannot be closed anymore. If our ethics and morals begin to shift, we could at some point turn to genetic editing to solve our problems. What those problems might be is the real question.

Reproductive Justice in Palestine
Barrios, Joely; Gilmore, Katherine; Simonds-Malamud, Ben
2017-12-04
Zionist discourse assumes a fear of the indigenous Palestinian population outnumbering the Jewish settler population, and threatening the Jewish nature of the state. The Israeli government sees the reproductive capacity of Palestine's indigenous Arab population as a particularly dangerous threat to its own existence. In order to suppress Palestinian reproduction, the Israeli government creates a hostile environment for families through military occupation, deprivation of resources, and discriminatory policies, making Zionism a serious threat to reproductive justice. Our podcast aims to explore how Israel's Zionist policies colonize the bodies of Palestinians, in addition to their land.

Power, Privilege, Perseverance, Mental Health on College Campuses
Aragon, Kathryn; Ngo, Amy
Unknown Date
It is a well-known social issue that the accessibility of mental health on college campuses is severely lacking, in an environment when mental health issues are on the rise. Mental health often has a stigma attached, and the counseling centers have not kept up with the inherent changes of the population of college students as a whole. As variations in diversity, socioeconomic backgrounds, and student enrollment have been vastly increasing, the student services must increase as well. The vast increase in different cultures presents different pressures requiring counselors who understand these stresses on the same level. Having a multicultural staff allows for a welcoming environment for all students. The 21st-century has opened a Pandora's Box of dialogues for gender and sexual identities, as clearer definitions arise for previously ostracized populations. Thus, mental health services must adapt to meet these developments. Along the same criteria of cultural requirements, there is a need for both multicultural and LGBTQIA-understanding staff members. Through this podcast, we hope to raise awareness to combat the stigma amongst cultures and identities.
