Water Margin (水浒传) is one of the earliest Chinese novels written in vernacular Mandarin, and is attributed to Shi Nai'an(施耐庵).It is also translated as Outlaws of the Marsh or All Men Are Brothers. The story, which is set in the Northern Song dynasty (around 1120), tells of how a group of 108 outlaws gather at Liangshan (梁山)Marsh to rebel against the government. Later they are granted amnesty and enlisted by the government to resist the nomadic conquest of the Liao(辽) dynasty and other rebels. It is considered one of the masterpieces of early vernacular fiction and Chinese literature. It has introduced readers to many of the best-known characters in Chinese literature, such as Wu Song(武松), Lin Chong(林冲), Song Jiang(宋江) and Lu Zhishen(鲁智深) to name just a few. Water Margin also exerted a towering influence in the development of fiction elsewhere in East Asia, such as in Japanese literature.
With us today is Professor. Andrew Plaks. He is Professor Emeritus of East Asian Studies and Comparative Literature at Princeton University. He is the author of Archetype and Allegory in the Dream of the Red Chamber as well as The Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel.

"Poverty will be abolished in America only when a mass movement demands it," writes Princeton sociologist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Matthew Desmond in his new book, "Poverty, by America." Building on his own lived experiences of growing up poor and continued contact with impoverished communities that "forces [him] to be intellectually honest," he claims that poverty persists in America not because we are incapable of preventing it but because society - and especially the wealthy - benefits from it at the expense of the poor.
Bethany and Luigi draw from their recent conversation with former U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, who argued against the premise altogether and said that poverty in America is not as terrible a "scourge" as many like Desmond claim it to be. With Desmond, our hosts discuss his views on the complex and deeply entrenched root causes of poverty, its relationship with the American capitalist system, and how we could build on individual choices - towards which we have otherwise been so stubbornly resistant - to end poverty.

Welcome to season 3, episode 13 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast.
This week my guest is Rebecaa Whitman. Rebecca is a beacon of light for women all over the world. Having graduated with honors from Princeton University, she is now an award-winning life coach, child acting recruiter, and certified empowered woman.
Unfortunately, Rebecca thought she always felt like she had to perform for love and approval. She was playing national tennis at the age of 8 and ended up being recruited for Princeton’s team. After a tumultuous few years following her graduation from Princeton, she was able to pursue her childhood dream of becoming an actress in Los Angeles. As she became immersed in the industry, she found herself working in child acting enrollment, a job she has been involved in for the last twenty years.
In this episode Rebecca shares a very personal story about domestic violence during this episode. It is important to note that many women live in an unsafe situation and there is help out there. If needed, please click this link for support: Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org)
Rebecca Whitman also has a podcast titled the “Balanced, Beautiful, and Abundant Show” which provides strategies for navigating life. She interviews inspirational individuals and shares advice to listeners through the stories shared.
Rebecca calls herself the “magnetic abundance mentor” because she feels that women must remove themselves from environments which trigger their fight or flight mode and instead harness their “feminine energy” to attract abundance. Her “mission is to help overworked, overwhelmed women go from burnt out to balanced, beautiful and abundant.” She is a fountain of wisdom for those in need and women who are seeking advice are encouraged to follow her practice. She can be found on her website, instagram, twitter, and youtube under the name Rebecca Elizabeth Whitman. The fastest way to reach her is instagram and her DMs are always open.
Next week my guest is Robt Martin Seba- Shreiber. Robt has been at the forefront of intersectional social justice for decades first as a schoolteacher for over 25 years during which he forged the first Gay Straight Alliance in an NJ middle school & now as founder & Chief Activist of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice in Princeton wherein he has created innovative all-inclusive support programs & built a dedicated LGBTQIA safe-space for queer youth, families, & our elders that is open every day with trained volunteers to welcome all with the care & respect they need & deserve.

On this episode of Articulate Experience—three writers whose love of language propelled their work.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon hasn’t lived in Ireland since he was a teenager. But everywhere he’s gone, his native culture’s obsession with language and storytelling has travelled with him.
A childhood love of words led Kory Stamper to spend nearly twenty years writing and editing dictionary definitions.
Cheryl Boyce-Taylor has found purpose in preserving and promoting her native Trinidadian creole through her dialectic poetry,
Articulate Experience examines stories of humanity, resilience, and wisdom through the words of some of today’s greatest writers.

In this episode, I give my thoughts on the teaching crisis a NYU. Dr. Maitland Jones, Jr., a professor of organic chemistry at NYU, was fired after more than 80 students from his 350-student course signed a petition complaining about this grading and teaching. Jones is an authority in his field after teaching organic chemistry a Princeton University for 40 years.
His dismissal from NYU opened a can of worms about college teaching at a time when US higher education has both a perception problem and enrollment problem. I think this situation, while embarrassing, is an opportunity to raise the level of conversation about college teaching in a way that brings together different perspectives.

As goes the South, so goes the nation. It may be a cliché but according to this week’s guest it’s true. In South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation, author and scholar Imani Perry makes the compelling argument that Americans need to stop dismissing the South if they’re ever going to build an equitable future for the entire United States. She takes us on a trip through the region, delving into the complex realities that exist beneath the stereotypes. Intertwining conversations and stories from her journey in the present with powerful—but underrepresented—moments from history, Perry illustrates how the real, rebellious, intensely creative people of the South have led movements for civil rights in every generation. In this episode, Laura and Imani Perry look to the South for answers that will enlighten every American.

# 075 – Class rank is one of the factors considered for admission decisions by college admission officers in some colleges and universities. Because class rank is so important to those institutions, it is important that you understand everything about class rank. On this episode, I talk about what class rank is, how it is computed, and how it is used in the college admission process. Additionally, I present some of the reasons why some high schools choose not to rank students. For example, in cases where the GPAs of several students in a grade level are high but also very close together, it is not unusual for students to be left out of a percentage category by mere fractions of a GPA point. I also explore the difference between weighted and unweighted class rank, and point out which of the two offers you a better opportunity to rank higher. As the episode crosses the mid-point, I re-introduce a document reported by colleges and universities, which you can use to find out how important class rank is to those schools, or if they consider it at all. It is at that point in the episode, that I explore whether class rank is important for Harvard University, Brown University, Princeton University, Stanford University, and UCLA. In fact, as I present that information on the episode, I make a decision to go over the importance each of those universities place on the different academic and non-academic factors of the admission application. You will be very surprised to hear which institutions do not care at all about class rank, and which does not make use of letter of recommendation.

Please help us reach more high school students and parents by giving us a 5-star rating and leaving us a positive review. We will truly appreciate it!

In a startling announcement, Princeton University recently declared it was eliminating any requirement that those majoring in the classics take Greek or Latin. The change was made to combat … wait for it … systemic racism.
In fact, a diversity and inclusion statement on the Princeton Classics Department’s site affirms its commitment to creating, “opportunities for the advancement of students and (future) colleagues from historically underrepresented backgrounds.”
Surely they’re not implying that it will be easier to advance minority students if they eliminate the need to learn a difficult ancient language! That would be racist.
In all seriousness, when bastions of elitism like Princeton allow Critical Race Theory to overwhelm any remaining commitment to excellence, they’re headed for trouble. Even the most prestigious universities can coast for only so long on past glories. If they lower their standards, it won’t be long before an “elite” education means far less than it once did. After all, Princeton diplomas mean only as much as the quality of the graduates possessing them.

Western imperialism has fundamentally shaped the developing world. In particular, Great Britain and the United States – the dominant capitalist powers of the 19th and 20th centuries, respectively, have played a major role in this historical process. But why did they pursue imperialism? And what effects did such imperial practices have on the developing world? These are the key questions that Atul Kohli examines in his brilliant new book, Imperialism and the Developing World: How Britain and the U.S. Shaped the Global Periphery (Oxford University Press, 2020). Kohli meticulously examines both the causes and consequences of modern imperialism. He finds that the impact of imperialism on the developing world has been primarily negative. Indeed, the key argument in the book is that there is an inverse relationship between imperialism and development, i.e., the less control a state has over its own affairs, the less likely it is that the people of the state will experience steady and inclusive economic progress.
Atul Kohli is the David K.E. Bruce Professor of International Affairs at Princeton University and one of the world’s leading experts in comparative political economy with a focus on developing countries.
