  • 14: Mindfulness in Medicine
    Mental health issues are rampant especially on college campuses. College students who undergo heavy stress and in particular, pre-health students can carry unresolved mental health issues into their graduate education. This could lead to the large problems that affect our healthcare system today, such as physician burnout and the stigma surrounding physicians seeking mental health care. Today on Mindfulness in Medicine, 3 Northeastern University Health Science students, Rachel Rupert, Ayanna Coburn-Sanderson, and Alyssa Lam, will discuss these problems and alternative options to traditional treatment and therapy, such as mental health/meditation apps like Headspace and introducing mindfulness in pre-health education.

  • 11: A System Built Around Men: The Unjust Conditions of Incarcerated Women
    The idea of prison is simple. Someone does something society defines as wrong, they're placed in a building where they're kept with others who have done something similarly wrong as a way to punish them for being bad. Life in prison isn't the same as it is outside- for obvious reasons, right? Prisoners have broken the law, they shouldn't be afforded the same rights as those who haven't. But at what point does this treatment go too far? At what point is the punishment doing more harm than it should? At what point is the system failing to do what is intended to do? Today on A System Build Around Men, we'll be looking at the unjust conditions of incarcerated women, particularly healthcare. We'll be taking a broad look at the mental, reproductive, and menstrual health of female offenders, as well as briefly examining the portrayal of female incarceration in the media.
