Here’s a preview of the show…
Healing Concussions As A Cultural Condition: The NCAA reports college athletes suffer more than 10,000 concussions a year, but perhaps more alarming is the fact that about three-quarters of these cases are not reported to coaches or team doctors. Two public health experts at UNC-Greensboro have received grants from the NFL and NCAA to help encourage these players report their injuries, and change the culture of concussions. We’ll talk with Jeff Milroy and David Wyrick, public health professors at UNC-Greensboro, about changing the culture of concussions.
The Continuing Fight For A Living Wage: An estimated 20 percent of North Carolinian’s earn less than a “living wage.” Advocates refer to that term as the household income needed to cover housing, food, child care, healthcare, transportation, taxes and other necessities. A new interactive video exhibit from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University tells the stories of these workers and explores the options for new policies that might help them. We’ll hear from Ashlyn Nuckols, a sophomore at Duke University; Bruce Orenstein, the exhibit’s producer; Tazra Mitchell, policy analyst at the North Carolina Justice Center; and Meredith Sawyer, an early childhood educator in Greensboro who is featured in the exhibit.
