Our Dream Deferred: Fulfilling the Nation's Promise is back with brand new episodes!

We are excited to kick off season 2 of the APHSA podcast, Our Dream Deferred: Fulfilling the Nation’s Promise. Seeking to get underneath the forces—seen and unseen—that shape and distort American culture and society, our premise draws on the Langston Hughes poem, offering the state of the American Dream in present day as truly a dream deferred. 

Also available for streaming today, episode 2, Unwritten Rules that Shape Us, features Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Levy Paluck, Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs at Princeton University and recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant. In this episode, we explore the importance of human-to-human contact and the impact it can have on our lives. We also discuss the need to examine norms, how norms subconsciously filter how we interact with one another, and the benefits of real-life conversations in shifting those norms.
