• How to Be a Better Sexual Citizen

  What is sex for? This is only one of the questions we must consider to be better sexual citizens. In this episode, we talk to an anthropologist who hopes that thinking through such questions will alleviate the problem of sexual assault in the context of our institutional lives, such as college. And she tells us about her current work, a case study. Released on December 19, 2024. Episode Transcript Guest Jennifer S. Hirsch is a professor of sociomedical sciences at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health who works at the intersection of social science and public health. Hirsch’s research examines gender, sexuality, and migration; the anthropology of love; social dimensions of HIV; and sexual- and gender-based violence. She is the coauthor, with Shamus Khan, of Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex, Power, and Assault on Campus (W. W. Norton, 2020), named an NPR book of the year.

• Who Gets Autism?

  Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder can be difficult because there is no medical test—like a blood test—to detect the disorder. Doctors draw on an individual’s developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis. But some populations receive notably more diagnoses than others. It is not clear how many individuals with autism may be overlooked, which means not all who are affected are equally likely to be treated. We know that four times as many boys as girls are diagnosed with autism. In this episode, we talk to a researcher who is challenging that gender ratio by working to establish a broader context for the intersectionality of female gender and autism. Her hope is to create a better roadmap that includes autistic females in research, advocacy, and service delivery. Released on November 21, 2024. Episode Transcript Guest Ruth B. Grossman is a speech and language pathologist, a professor at Emerson College, and the director of the FACE Lab. She was the 2023–2024 Mary Beth and Chris Gordon Fellow at Harvard Radcliffe Institute. Related Content Ruth B.
