2-Hour Special!
On two recent programs, co-host Arnell Dowret examined how we communicate with each other and what humanistic naturalism can offer by way of our better understanding each other in public discourse. Focusing on nebulous terms bandied about in popular American culture - by religionists and secularists alike - Arnell suggested we loose polarizing and pain-inducing terms like sin, shame, guilt, vice and bad and instead offer the more precise language of social science.
Human beings behave according to both their biology and environment at any given time, and the banishing of talk about reasons - for judgmental and shallow talk of excuses - has led to a culture of punishment and reward - praise and blame - which cultivates anger, hatred and fear.
Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, a religious humanist, would suggest these terms are part of a violence-based communication. In response he founded The Center for Nonviolent Communication. Carrying on his work in the New York City area is Dr. Dian Killian, co-author of Connecting across Differences: A Guide to Compassionate, Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Dr. Killian will be on Equal Time For Freethought to discuss her work for Brooklyn NVC. We will be offering several special gifts for those who become members or renew their membership that you will be able to obtain by calling the station during our program at 212-208-2950.
On Wednesday April 16th and Thursday April 17th WBAI pre-empted most programming all day to air a repeat broadcast of Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan. This featured testimony from U.S. veterans who served in those occupations, giving an accurate account of what is really happening day in and day out, on the ground.
The four-day Winter Soldier event brought together veterans from across the country to testify about their experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan - and present video and photographic evidence. In addition, panels of scholars, veterans, journalists, and other specialists gave context to the testimony. These panels covered everything from the history of the GI resistance movement to the fight for veterans' health benefits and support.
Whether you're participating in a radio program or committee meeting, you'll need to contact us in advance. The landlord requires photo ID and pre-registration for entry into the building.
Please call our switchboard at 212-209-2800, weekdays between 9am and 1pm or 2pm and 5pm, and give the receptionist your name as shown on your ID and the purpose of your visit.
Thanks for your continued support.
