7 GEN 2026 · This episode brings together our artifacts and articles to show how gender inequality isn’t random or isolated; it’s patterned and deeply rooted. We start with Virginia Valian’s Sex, Schemas, and Success which helps explain how small, unconscious biases quietly shape how men and women are judged over time. We also draw on Jean H. Block’s work on gender socialization to show how these expectations begin in childhood, long before anyone enters a profession. Then we connect those ideas to real-word examples using a Havard Law School article on women being shut out of key legal networks and Inequities Faced by Female Doctors Serving Communities of Need, which shows similar patterns in medicine. Together, these sources make it clear that the same system keeps showing up across different fields.

7 GEN 2026 · Alex and Treni'D take you on a journey through nursing history from the 1940s to now using artifacts from the Southern Labor Archives at Georgia State University. Our big question is simple but heavy. How did biomedical innovation reshape nursing labor? Spoiler, the answer involves shifting workloads, expanding responsibilities, uneven wages, racial inequality, and the emotional weight that nurses have always carried. This isn't just about old records, it connects directly to what nurses face today. Burnout, staffing shortages, and rising expectations. Emotional labor is another big factor that we are talking about. The part nursing textbooks don't measure, the part biomedical innovation can't replace. Machines read vitals, nurses read people. And that's why the archives don't always say, but every story, every artifact, every scrap of history whispers it. The heart of healthcare isn't the technology, it's the people carrying the whole enterprise.

7 GEN 2026 · In this episode of a “Work Place in Progress”, Gabrielle Dodd and Milton Cervantes take the listener into a journey through time, comparing the past and present working conditions of welders and demonstrating how Unions can, and do make a drastic difference in the workplace. Gaining access to an exclusive interview with a present day, un-unionized welder, who shares his personal experience, they learn more about the degrading working conditions that not only welders but many Blue collar workers have to endure in present day America. They compare these current conditions to those of unionized workers of welding and manufacturing companies from 1948 to 1949. Have blue collar working conditions truly improved, or have they remained the same, just with better hidden exploitation?

7 GEN 2026 · This episode of A Work(place) in Progress shows us the struggles and ongoing reality of child labor. We were able to explain and utilize archival photographs and historical records that demonstrate how children worked long and tiring hours throughout dangerous industries, such as mills, factories, and farms. They often are exposed to toxins, deteriorating their health and education to support their families financially. We highlight how it was socially acceptable for children to take on adult responsibilities and was later regulated through laws, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act.
