Description
This week Dr. I. David Daniels speaks with Michael Flynn, a Cultural Anthropologist, about his views on culture, anthropology, safety, diversity, equity, and inclusion, his experience, and his focus on social inclusion and exclusion from the view of a social scientist.
Cultural anthropologists study how people who share a common cultural system organize and shape the physical and social world around them and are, in turn, shaped by those ideas, behaviors, and physical environments. Michael’s view of this topic is informed by his experience as the child of immigrants, who settled in the Midwest, but often felt both in and out of the social settings he was in at the same time. He’ll share his professional journey focusing on how “in-groups,” “out-groups,” and the "cultural boxes" that humans create directly impact physical and psychological safety.

Psychological Health and Safety in Government - with Mayor Maria Mitchell: Much of the focus regarding safety in the United States is on private sector organizations, given that the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 exempts state and local governments that do not have state plans. This fact, combined with the complex and often highly political nature of public services, often creates significant risk for government and public sector employees based on the diversity and extent of hazards they are exposed to, including psychosocial hazards. The environment can be even more hazardous for workers with cultural differences from the majority in a workplace. The episode features Mayor Maria Mitchell of the City of Miami Springs, Florida. She is not only an extremely skilled and experienced safety professional but a national leader in efforts to provide for the safety of government and public sector workers. Mayor Mitchell will share her perspective on physical and psychological safe by Psych Health and Safety Podcast USA
