Podcast: College professors on the economy and hate crimes

Mahesha Subbaraman ‘06, co-host of the Loquitur Podcast, recently interviewed Professor Geoffrey Woglom and Professor Lawrence Douglas for the podcast. As Mahesha explains it,

Loquitur is an Internet podcast which features audio interviews with academic and professional experts on current National Forensics League (NFL) debate topics for the free educational benefit of all high school students competing in Lincoln-Douglas (LD) and Public Forum (PF) Debate.

To that end, my first interview was with Professor Geoffrey Woglom on whether the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 can mitigate economic slowdowns over the next year.

Listen to the interview with Professor Woglom here.

And my second interview was with Professor Lawrence Douglas on whether hate crimes enhancements are justifiable in the United States in light of foreign law on hate crimes, the phenomenon of Holocaust denial, and the pedagogical function of criminal trials.

Listen to the interview with Professor Douglas here.

Thanks to Mahesha for sending these our way.
