Psychology, Society & Faith with Thema Bryant

Psychology, Society & Faith with Thema Bryant

A quintessential Addy Hour conversation with Dr. Thema Bryant, president of the American Psychological Association (APA), psychologist, practitioner, minister, trauma expert and author. In this reflective discussion, we explore the ways psychology continues to fill a void in society and the ongoing needs these perspectives can address. We also contemplate how psychological approaches impact society, our schools, faith communities, businesses and non-profit organizations, as well as the implications for health care, health care access, climate change and policy.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Bryant graciously reveals her leadership principles as the current president of the 130,000-member APA. She highlights the important role of mentorship and sponsorship in her path to becoming the second Black woman to lead this premier psychological organization. With keen insights from her years of clinical practice, research, leadership and advocacy, she also provides helpful perspectives on the guiding psychological principles that impact both individuals and systems.

We’ll hear Dr. Bryant’s powerful inspiration and witness from working with trauma survivors and the offenders who’ve inflicted the trauma. As a “bridgebuilder” and the daughter of two pastors, Dr. Byrant also shares ways we can all thrive and bear witness amidst the joys and challenges of daily life. Finally, we consider the important role of the creative arts in holistic psychological approaches.

Join us for a rich and dynamic conversation, full of helpful perspectives and vital tips on how we can successfully navigate each day as individuals and a society.

Secretary Janet Yellen on Modern Supply Side Economics and the Tobin Center

Secretary Janet Yellen on Modern Supply Side Economics and the Tobin Center

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Yale President Peter Salovey discuss one of the driving themes of the federal administration’s economic agenda: modern supply side economics. Modern supply side economics has vast implications for American policy from climate, innovation, tax policy, and infrastructure to workforce training, housing, health, and childcare. Secretary Yellen and President Salovey’s conversation includes context of Yale Tobin Center’s research and policy work across these areas – much of which has had national impact – as well as Tobin’s founding mandate to enhance diversity in the study of economics, where greater emphasis on modern supply side issues is credited with expanding interest in the field.
