Meet John Rose, Morehead-Cain’s faculty director for Dialogue and Discourse

Épisode 111

mardi 22 octobre 2024 • Durée 17:18

Dr. John Rose joined the Morehead-Cain community this fall as faculty director for Dialogue and Discourse. The initiative is designed to enhance scholars’ ability to listen, discuss, and engage in contemporary issues.

Rose speaks with Catalyze co-host Stella Smolowitz ’26 about his approach to facilitating “charity-centric” dialogue with college students, the connection for him between theology and civic leadership, and advice for navigating political conversations ahead of the November election.

Rose came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from Duke University, where he was the associate director of the Civil Discourse Project and an instructor in the Kenan Institute for Ethics. At Duke, he also taught courses in happiness and human flourishing, Christian ethics, conservatism, and political polarization. His research focuses on virtue ethics and Christian theology.

In addition to his work with Morehead-Cain, Rose will serve as professor of the practice at the School of Civic Life and Leadership at Carolina.

Episode 13: Jim Reston ’63

Épisode 12

mercredi 20 février 2019 • Durée 24:56

You're about to hear from author and playwright Jim Reston, who graduated in the Morehead-Cain Class of 1963. Jim is from Washington, D.C. and has been not only an eyewitness to major historical events of the last few decades, but actually participated in them: from the Civil Rights movement, to the Vietnam War, to the Watergate scandal, and more.

Jim's father was James Reston Sr, a prominent New York Times journalist and editor—but Jim managed to blaze his own trail in the writing world. Jim has published eighteen books, three plays, and numerous articles in national magazines. His various works have been translated into many different languages, optioned by Hollywood, and included on international best-seller lists.

From 1976 to 1977, Jim advised David Frost for the famous Frost/Nixon Interviews, which 57 million people watched from around the world. His narrative of that experience, published in 2007, was the main inspiration for the hit London play, "Frost/Nixon." In the Hollywood adaptation of the play, which was nominated for five Academy Awards, Jim's character is played by the actor Sam Rockwell.

Jim has been a fellow at the American Academy in Rome, a fellow at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, and a senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.

Episode 10: Jason Kemp ’03

Épisode 9

mercredi 5 décembre 2018 • Durée 29:04

This episode of Catalyze features Major Jason Kemp, former commander of India Company, Third Battalion, Second Marines—and now an officer in the U.S. Marine Reserves. Jason currently lives in Raleigh, and he works for a utilities company called Pike Electric. On top of that, he spends a few hours a week helping veterans get connected to the Triangle community through a network called Marine for Life.

During his ten years of active duty, Jason completed two deployments to Iraq and another on a U.S. Navy ship that visited Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. He says his geography degree was extremely useful on deployment.

Our conversation dips into the fascinating parallels between service in the Marines and working for a utility company, Jason's unfulfilled dream of being a farmer, and a very helpful life-planning exercise for any age.

The son of a Vietnam War veteran, Major Jason Kemp grew up in Mount Airy, N.C.

Episode 9: Jed Lau ’98 and Kerry Anne Harris ’11

Épisode 8

mercredi 28 novembre 2018 • Durée 33:25

Gender roles often prescribe that a husband should be the breadwinner while a wife should stay at home. But the modern feminist movement can also make women feel guilty if they do choose to stay at home with their kids. How does a high-achieving, values-driven college graduate like a Morehead-Cain navigate these challenges?

In this episode of Catalyze, Jed Lau, Morehead-Cain Class of 1998, and Kerry Anne Harris, Morehead-Cain Class of 2011, share their unique stories of intentional living through full-time parenthood.

During our talk, Jed mentions a spreadsheet with his family’s five-year plan. You can see a copy of it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X2-9NYuBp8Pt0lkT-EN4exu_MaTqvv4KBzgDNdbf5pM/edit#gid=0

Épisode 6

mercredi 14 novembre 2018 • Durée 25:52

Welcome to Season 2 of Catalyze, a podcast from the Morehead-Cain Foundation at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

As we shared during our first season, Catalyze features stories of values-driven leadership. This season we’ve chosen to highlight lives of service.

Our first episode this season is a conversation with Dr. Amir Barzin ’06, a Persian-Texan who works in family medicine at UNC. After attending Carolina as a Morehead-Cain, Dr. Barzin worked as a law-clerk and an EMT before earning a master's in medical science and then a DO: which stands for doctor in osteopathic medicine. We dive into what that means, during our conversation.

Today, Dr. Barzin is the director of UNC's Family Medicine Center, director of UNC Urgent Care, and director of Family Medicine In-Patient Service.
