A Fresh Face in Hell with Jonathan EvisonAugustine Sedgewick - FatherhoodI love fatherhood - I love what it has shaped me into as a person. It has given me reserves of love and patience I didn't know were possible. Being a father fills me with anxiety, but at the same time, my endless gratitude calms me. This makes me wonder why fatherhood is so rewarding for some and so difficult for others. In his book "Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power," Augustine Sedgewick talks about the archetypes of fatherhood throughout human history. From Aristotle to Sigmund Freud, he examines how our understanding of fatherhood has evolved over time...

NPR's Book of the Day'Fatherhood' traces a history of masculinity, from Aristotle to Sigmund FreudHistorian Augustine Sedgewick became a father in the summer of 2017.

His new book Fatherhood approaches the topic through historical examples, from figures like Aristotle and Henry VIII to the work of Sigmund Freud. In today's episode, Sedgewick tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that men – like women – face impossible standards as parents, but are less likely to talk about them.To listen to B...

Smarty PantsFamily ValuesIn 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that the third Sunday in June would henceforth be celebrated as Father's Day. It was a symbolic gesture aimed at strengthening paternal bonds, as well as a tacit rejection of the policies recommended by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had just left Johnson's administration in disgrace after his controversial report on Black family life and poverty was leaked. “As we know it,” Scholar contributor Augustine Sedgewick writes in his new book, “Father's Day is an unintended consequence of the fractious American politics of race, gender, and class.” Sedgewick's book, Fatherhood: A History of Love and Powe...

Smarty PantsThe Writing on the WallHenry David Thoreau is known for Walden Pond, his writings on solitude and nature, and his staunch, even strident, abolitionism. He is not known for his pencils. But it’s his pencils, writes the historian Augustine Sedgewick in our Autumn issue, that have been overlooked by scholars for so many years, along with one particularly damning detail that Sedgewick discovered for the first time: the cedar in those pencils, which the Thoreau family manufactured to great success, was logged by enslaved laborers. That a connection to slavery was “discovered” in the unlikeliest of places—on the desk of an iconic A...

Who Makes Cents?: A History of Capitalism PodcastEpisode 68: Augustine Sedgewick on the Dark Empire of CoffeeMany of us are familiar with the negative health effects of coffee, which include insomnia, nervousness, upset stomach, and increased heart rate. Yet, this hasn't seemed to stop many Americans from reaching for a cup, or two or three, of coffee to help them make it through the day. One estimate puts coffee consumption in the United States at 400 million cups of coffee a day, or more than 140 billion cups a year, making the United States the world's leading consumer of coffee. Yet, for all the coffee we consumer, we spend little time thinking about how this reliance affects...
