Ep. 76 | Nicole Winget and Josh Seymour talk 9/11, Afghanistan, Campbell veterans and Star Wars

On a week where the country commemorated the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, Campbell University homeland security professor Lt. Cdr. Nicole Winget and retired Staff Sgt. Josh Seymour (an undergrad studying cyber security at Campbell) joined Rhymes With Orange to talk about their decisions to join the military after 9/11 and how the last 20 years has shaped their lives. We also talk about Campbell's strong student veteran group, and we wrap up with a little Star Wars talk.

Rhymes With Orange, hosted by Billy Liggett and Kate Stoneburner, returns after a year-long COVID-19 hiatus. Thank you for listening. 

Ep.75 | Dr. Miranda van Tilburg on parents, stress and the pandemic

Parents are more stressed out and are reporting higher levels of anxiety and depression due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a newly published study led by Campbell University Professor of Clinical Research Dr. Miranda van Tilburg. 

The results shouldn’t come as a surprise — especially for parents who have had to deal with school closures, jobs losses and interruptions in medical care for their children since March — but they do back the nation’s mental health concerns with scientific data and make the argument for increased mental health care in the country. 

“People might wonder, ‘We know we’re more stressed. Why are you telling me this?’ but in science, we always have to show the numbers,” van Tilburg says. “And I think it also validates a lot of parents and tells them they’re not alone. It’s normal to feel this way during this pandemic. A lot of people are struggling.” 

Ep. 74 | Dr. Amin Asfari on being a Muslim in post 9/11 America

Dr. Amin Asfari, Campbell University alumnus and criminal justice professor, has co-authored a study on first- and second-generation Muslim assimilation in the United States in The Journal for Muslim Minority Affairs. Asfari’s mixed-method study – constructed using segmented assimilation theory, suggests that biased public policies, prejudice toward Muslim communities, and lack of a significant co-ethnic community are primary barriers preventing some Muslims from integrating into American culture.

He joins hosts Billy Liggett and Kate Stoneburner on Rhymes With Orange to talk about his study, and his own life before and after Sept. 11, 2001.
