What does it mean to love and care for someone who has a different way of experiencing the world? How can we understand the way emotions may be expressed to us differently than they were before in a relationship?
In this episode, our host Shivani has a conversation with researcher, professor, and artist Dr. Joan Monin. Dr. Monin shares her interest and work in the boundaries of how close relationships work, how we provide comfort to one another, and how understanding our relationships help us in older-adult caregiving in the context of dementia onset and recovery.
In this episode of the ISM Fellows Podcast, Dr. Peter Boudreau sheds light on time in Byzantium through his work on Byzantine calendar icons. Dr. Boudreau also discusses the complexity of Byzantine time, the relationship between images and text, and the future of studying Byzantium.

Our guest is Prof. Stephen Gilbert (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-gilbert-31ba2587/) who is a Professor of Medical Device Regulatory Science at the Else Kröner Fresenius Center for Digital Health, Technische Universität Dresden where he teaches and conducts research on regulatory science with a team of colleagues. He is also News and Views Editor, Nature Portfolio – Digital Health. He worked in senior MedTech and Digital Heath roles in industry for 5 years, before returning to academia in 2022.
His research goals are to advance the regulatory science of software as a medical device and AI-enabled medical devices. Innovative digital approaches to healthcare must be accompanied by innovative approaches in regulation to ensure speed to market, to maximum access of patients to life saving treatments whilst ensuring safety on market. His main research interests are in: (i) data sharing and the European Health Data Space; (ii) approaches to market approval of adaptive AI enabled medical devices; (iii) drugdigital/AI-enabled medical device product realisation; (iv) digital/virtual twins: as an organising concept of the future of healthcare.”

In this episode of the Yale University Press podcast, we talk with award-winning classicist Edith Hall about her new book, Facing Down the Furies: Suicide, the Ancient Greeks, and Me.
In this episode, Dr. Cory Hunter speaks with Sindy Yang (MAR ‘25) about his research on gospel music. They also discuss how his background training in music performance, religion, and theology brings innovation to his methodologies as a scholar. What results is a freshness brought to the discipline of musicology at large, and new ways in which these methodologies and approaches impact the broader scope of interdisciplinary studies of music, religion, and theology.
Join in for a deeply honest and candid conversation with recording artist, speaker, professor, and writer, Sho Baraka. We waste no time, diving quickly into personal discussions about emotional wellness and mental health. We consider ways to normalize mental health conversations to positively impact our lives and society. Intertwined with these topics, we consider the imprint of hip-hop culture, the impact of social media, and the powerful role of faith. On a practical level, Sho shares four key ways each of us can effectively pursue our calling. Refreshingly, he provides this guidance, even while acknowledging his own successes and challenges pursuing his vocational calling. As a man of many talents and interests, he goes even further to describe the ways he feels like a “vocational nomad” at times. We also reflect on what it means to engage and care for our local and global community. In the scope of community, we discuss neurodiversity and inclusivity, as Sho shares his perspective as the father of two sons living on the autism spectrum. A wide ranging, timely and important conversation!
