But how much do these strategies, and all the lip service really help us? Could ruminating in, and creating identity around our issues do us more harm than good? Author, teacher, and business owner, Brie Doyle offers regular retreating as a proactive tool to build mental and emotional resilience in a society that would rather slap a label on our discontent, and send us on our way. A voice for all, but most specifically women, Doyle reminds us of an age-old discipline, with a refreshing new framework, that creates fortitude, mental and emotional durability, spiritual depth, and inspires creativity, to bring us back to ourselves—no labels or medications necessary.

Can an aversion to eating insects build connections with others? In this talk, Cindy D. Kam discusses our relationship with the emotion of disgust in decision-making. She discusses the hidden power of disgust to protect us and connect us with others, but also warns about its kryptonite: its reliance on imagination. Cindy D. Kam received a PhD in Political Science from the University of Michigan and currently holds the William R. Kenan, Jr. Chair in Political Science at Vanderbilt University. As a political psychologist, Professor Kam uses a psychological lens to understand how people develop political opinions and why they engage in political action. She is the author of two books (Us Against Them: Ethnocentric Foundations of American Public Opinion and Modeling and Interpreting Interactive Hypotheses in Regression Analysis) and dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles. Kam’s published research examines the impacts of a wide range of psychological phenomena - including intergroup attitudes, cognitive engagement, risk propensity, implicit associations, and disgust sensitivity - on public opinion, vote choice, turnout, political participation, and political consumerism.

Extreme inequality is a threat to our democracies and climate. But inequality is not a natural phenomenon, we can tackle it. How? Tax the rich and lift the poor – by an inheritance for all. When? The time for redistribution is now! Martyna Linartas is a political scientist and co-founder of ungleichheit.info. Martyna focuses on the gap between rich and poor – one of the biggest polarities in liberal democracies. Our climate and democracies are not only under pressure because wealth inequality is skyrocketing; but also as democracies are falling back into times when birth determined life chances: welcome to the new inheritance society!History teaches us that inequality is neither a law of nature nor God-given. Inequality is a political phenomenon and as such, it can be solved politically. Regardless of its importance and alarming trajectory, debates have not reached center stage. This is precisely why Martyna launched ungleichheit.info: To bring knowledge about inequality to the wider society in a generally understandable and exciting way.If extreme inequality is finally to be tackled, we need new, radical ideas. Tax the rich alone is not enough. We also have to lift the poor – with an inheritance for all.
