Issues that capitol hill and the country has dealt with in the last several decades but now theyre at the floor. You are one of the worlds foremost experts on immigration and have been there watching as capitol hill has struggled with this issue over the of course, over the last couple of decades and going back and forth. And now, with the pope picks in the vatican in quite literally at the front of many of the issues as people are trying to cross the mediterranean. So lets just turn off with a question in light you have been doing this a long time how does it change when of pope takes an interest in your topic . [laughter] good morning. Thank you for the question. I think when the pope speaks the perspective that is global and tomorrow at the same time. And then to focus on the importance of family and children it is in a very clear way these kinds of issues that lots of people will want to hear the pope speak but i am not quite sure if the u. S. Congress who have spent the unable the
This. Id like to open it up to questions. I know we have, again theres a lot of interest we have several issues and a lot of them are interconnected as we saw. Who is first . I under how important is the popes science background to the development of his ideas . I know hes got degrees in chemistry . Actually the vatican has held several conferences on science to help educate both the staff. And i think its very interesting in the encyclical, he speaks to the importance of having a dialogue with science. And, you know, i think theres a misperception sometimes borne from a lengthy history that the Catholic Church is somehow hostile towards science. I think thats really an outdated perception. Engagement with the Scientific Community has been very strong, not just on Climate Change. The encyclical talks about gmos. In a very nuanced and interesting way that talked about technology. So ill say two things. First of all, i think it isnt just this pope bumt the Catholic Church has a strong in
For congress. Bb not the press gallery but the chamber . By all means call the press gallery if you can get in to the press section. You will not get onto the floor. But if you are in on a member of congress or to i would call them to see where they plan to be after words just to see if you can read them personally or talk to them over the phone. If you are compelled to be at the capitol, do you have a hard pass . My colleagues do. They can get into the building. It will be a challenge but again i would try to arrange will have a hard time several hours ahead . Garett there is a chance they could get into a press gallery. But that does not guarantee, i will go over this two ways. The Senate Press Gallery there is assigned seating. We have desks there. If you are sitting here have desks there and then there are open areas. If you can get there in time with an open area given a shot. The out press gallery there is not assigned seating so what happens with heads of state summit people get
And with that i will turn it over to linda. Thank you, sandy. We will move right into logistics. Im going to in this helen osman, secretary of communications for the u. S. Catholic conference of bishops, court in getting Media Coverage next month which, of course, is why we are all the. Shes been with usccb since 2007 and has been a major player in bringing the church into the digital and social media age. In 2012 the Catholic Press association honored her with the st. Francis award for personal achievement and were happy to have her with us today. Thank you, linda. I appreciate evolving willing to work with me on Getting Started on time. I have some meetings thats mandatory for me answer of my colleagues to be at, at 10 00. I have a few slides, but i like to give more time for yall to ask questions if thats okay with everyone. I thought i would go over very quickly, but of whats different from previous papal visit. I was in the same role in 2008 when Pope Benedict game. And worked wit
What we do have and what ill be presenting this afternoon is a good deal, a very robust qualitative information that speaks to the phenomenology, the experience of having been mobbed. What the elements and aspects of that experience are like and what the health harming effects of that are so this talk, just dont worry is the only reason i say it is going to shift a little bit from the Empirical Data to looking more at theconceptual and phenomenological framework. These are the books that kate mentioned that my colleague doctor lindner and im wrote in 2012, 2014 about mobbing and in so doing we extended the work of heinz lannon in sweden, the psychologist who studied road and worked with targets in the 80s and also i think i would like to just credit the work of doctor ken west you in canada whose work on mobbing focused primarily on higher educational mobbing in higher ed and also i would like to include doctors ruth and gary namely, the founders and directors of the Workplace Bullying
