  • #48 Class, Culture, Perspectives On Power, Politics, Policy and Public Health with Dr Alan Flanagan
    Jul 24 2024

    I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Dr Alan Flanagan this week delving into topics like political violence in American history, referencing past presidential assassination attempts and their little influence on election outcomes. We also discuss the current political polarisation, focusing on the Trump-Biden election dynamics.


    We had an in-depth chat about the erosion of social cohesion and community belonging in contemporary society, exacerbated by social media's role in fostering ideological extremism.


    • Thatcher to Trump: Political evolution and consequences


    • Inclusivity in sports, particularly the complexities surrounding trans-athlete participation.


    • The disconnect between ideological beliefs and practical policy implications


    • Critiquing the progressive left's impact on broader social discourse, and a discussion on socioeconomic factors in public health, food poverty, and the ideological barriers to addressing health inequalities effectively.


    Far removed from regular nutrition “chat”, we got into the weeds of topics often untouched
