Clark University

Yeah.

Now owned by... a fellow alumnus of Clark University, where I went to college.

Oh, nice.

Yes, he shows up at alumni meetings.

That I may not weary you with the complete recitation of cases already well known, I will only just refer to those in Breuer and Freud's book, which I shall assume are known to you, for the book has been translated into English.

You will there have read that case of Breuer's to which Freud referred in his lectures at Clark University.

You will have found that the hysterical symptom has not some unknown organic source, but is based on certain highly emotional psychic events, so-called injuries of the heart, traumata, or shocks.

I think that nowadays every careful observer of hysteria will acknowledge from his own experience that at the root of this disease such painful events are to be found.

That is to say, such a similar mental attitude that effects in real life are sometimes produced which even in detail resemble the personal experiences of the parents.

For the empirical material here, I must refer you to the literature.

I should like to remind you that one of my pupils, Dr. Emma First, produced valuable experimental proofs for the solution of this problem to which I referred in my lecture at Clark University.

In applying association experiments to whole families, Dr.

Yes.

Uh, Berkeley College of Music, and at, uh, uh, Clark University.

Um, I'm especially curious about when you teach poetry to others, uh, what is sort of the central challenge of that? Particularly when, I think, i- if, if one makes oneself vulnerable to write something-

Mm

But what we, what we f- you find when you're working in universities, and as I's mentioned, a lot of my experience up to the point when I, when I wrote the book, was in the United States higher education system, which...

And I was at various different institutions, from Harvard, you know, one of the big private, very wealthy endow- well-endowed universities, to state, um, the state university at University of Vermont, uh, which are publicly funded, and to a small private Clark University, which is in Worcester, outside Boston.

Yeah.

And Northeastern University is another one of the universities I was at, uh, before I moved back to Ireland.

Today, my guest is Anna Agronov.

Anna received her bachelor's degree from Clark University and her law degree from Suffolk University Law School.

She has spent her entire career in-house in the fintech area.

She is currently senior deputy general counsel of legal risk and compliance for a fintech company.

[laughs]

So he's now at Clark University, and he wrote this 285-page PDF, at least, this book that, that for whatever reason was free online, even though it's an Oxford University Press.

I'm sure it was not legally free.

Uh, anyway, I found it with a web search when I was looking for versions of this, and it has, yes, as you said, Wes, the Greek, and of course it has, right, 285 pages, given that this is really a 20-page dialogue, a lot of commentary, a lot of, uh-

Liberia will elect a president in a few months.

Mention has been made of the paper of Mr. G.W. Ellis, F.R.G.S., the colored ex-secretary of the Liberian Legation, at the Racist Conference recently held at Clark University.

President G. Stanley Hall pronounces this paper, quote, one of the most condensed and admirable reports of the whole conference, end quote.

Denu Zulu, the South African Zulu chief, has been released from confinement in which he has been held since the last attempted Zulu uprising.

One study showed the older one gets, the more negative the attitude toward the younger generation.

Jeffrey Arnett, a professor at Clark University, coined emerging adults to describe individuals between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine, rather than terms like kids or young adults.

I like this term because it acknowledges that this group is in the process of becoming adults.

Historically, developmental psychologists like Erikson saw development as moving from adolescence to adults with no interim phase.

Some of you might know him from his book, Becoming AI Ready, Designing Future Nonprofit Teams.

He is the vice president for university advancement at Clark University.

He's an author.

He's a founder of GlobalPhilanthropy.ai. And he is also managing an organizational chart with hybrid human and AI.

But I think that's why we get along so well.

I love it.

So you started at Clark University.

And when you started, did it look like just any other advancement shop? Did it look just, I mean, no agents running alongside humans? No, it was just your standard bread and butter advancement shop, right?
