    The Power of the Funny

    In this episode I talk with Assistant Professor of Sociology Pamela G. Monaghan-Geernaert and Associate Professor of Communications Liz Sills about Native American political humor.  Professors Monaghan-Geernaert and Sills have an article published in the volume Political Humor Worldwide: The Cultural Context of Political Comedy, Satire, and Parody, (ed. Ofer Feldman, Springer 2024).  The title of their article is "The Power of Funny: Indigenous High Art as Quiescence and Rebellion".  Here is an excerpt from the article. "In 2006 Apsáalooke artist Wendy Red Star released a print entitled The Last Thanks. Reminiscent of da Vinci’s The Last Supper, the piece features Red Star (in a traditional elk tooth dress) seated amid plastic skeletons wearing stereotypical Native headdresses at a table littered with unhealthy, prepackaged food...  The Last Thanks uses funny imagery to address this history with a message of looking toward the future with resilience while realistically confronting the horrors of the past.  The creator of more recent Wolftrax episodes is Dr. Kristen Brown, assistant professor of English at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

    The Cop on the Corner

    In this episode I interview newly minted PhD Lucas Wiscons and Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at NSU.  In this episode find out what real encounters between the police and civilians are like.  I also learn that there are such things as "ethnomethodology (the sociology of everyday life/commonsense knowledge) and conversation analysis (talk in interaction as the locus of social organization)".  If you are interested in how the police and the people they encounter view the interaction later, this is the show for you.   The creator of more recent Wolftrax episodes is Dr. Kristen Brown, assistant professor of English at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota.

    Ukraine! Gaza! And Tariffs! Oh my!

    In this episode, Professor Jon Schaff, Steven Usitalo, and myself discuss politics beyond our national borders.  President Trump is attempting to end wars in Southern Europe and the Middle East.  Will he be successful and if so, what will the peace look like?  Will aggression have turned a profit for Putin and Hamas?  How serious and how effective will President Trump's tariff strategy be?  And finally, some movie suggestions from out intrepid trio.   This is the audio version of Spotlight@northern.  The video version airs on NSUtv, on both Midco and NVC.  You can also view it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@northernstateuniversitytel9984.
