Old Mole Variety Hour

Frann Michel hosts the first Old Mole of the new year, which will include these segments:

Bill Resnick talks with sociologist and activist Alan Sears, author of The Next New Left: The History of the Future.
They discuss how the 60-70s uprisings and radicalism were followed by a period of passivity and fear, and then speculate about today's movements and struggles that could well give birth to the next new left.

Jan Haaken talks with Mimi Schippers about feminism and football (again), offering sports commentary after the January 4th playoffs. Mimi is Associate Professor of Sociology and the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program at Tulane University. Her work focuses on gender, sexuality, and culture, and she blogs at Marx in Drag.

Jan also talks with Bob Samuels, a former psychoanalyst who now teaches in the English Dept. at UC Santa Barbara and is President of the UC-American Federation of Teachers, and who blogs at Changing Universities. They will discuss Naomi Klein's recent book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, and the psychology of climate change.

Denise Morris offers a Well-read Red on the situation of Reverend Edward Pinkney, a Black community activist unjustly convicted by an all-white jury.
