They might be socially awkward - or not. You hear the word nerd, and the next thing you expect is some kind of joke or put down. But who are these so-called nerds, and why is it still okay to stereotype this group and make fun of them? On the next Voices in the Family with Dan Gottlieb: the nerd stereotype and how it harms us. We hear from David Anderegg, Ph.D. He argues that there really isn't anything called nerd; all that's real is the stereotype that negatively impacts children and adolescents...and interferes with our country's desire to compete globally. David Anderegg is the author of Nerds: How Dorks, Dweebs, Techies, and Trekkies Can Save America and Why They Might Be Our Last Hope. He's a professor of psychology at Bennington College in Vermont.

They mark the change of seasons but also personal changes and rights of passage in our lives. Sometimes there's word of a new job, a new baby, an illness, a separation...a death -- all of which can shift family dynamics and friendships for better or for worse. On the next Voices in the Family with Dan Gottlieb, who's coming to dinner over the holidays? How families mark the passage of time with pronouncements, births, feuds, and feasts. We'll also look at some of the basics of getting along. Dan will be joined by psychiatrist Barbara Wingate, M.D. and wellness coach and health educator Elizabeth Scott.

University stakeholders have been ousted. The campus remains a live wire of anger and confusion. As our hearts go out to children and families who have come forward with their stories, we find ourselves wondering, why did so many people fail to report what they saw or heard about? On the next Voices in the Family with Dan Gottlieb: why the cultural hesitation and denial in sexual abuse cases, in general, when the well-being of children is at stake?

Michael Stinson is the Director of Prevention Services at The Joseph J. Peters Institute in Philadelphia. He develops community education programs to address the prevention of child sexual abuse. He sits on the Sexual Assault Advisory Committee for the City of Philadelphia and represents JJPI on the Law Enforcement Child Abuse Project (LECAP).
