Welcome to Episode 110 of the Being Human
Podcast: Beyond Stereotypes: Gender, Culture,
and Catholicism w/ Dr. Jennifer E. Morel
Joining Dr. Greg for this
week’s episode is special guest Dr. Jennifer E. Morel, a moral
theologian, research scholar, author, and co-founder of the
International Institute of Culture and Gender! In their
conversation, they explore the complexities of defining authentic
masculinity and femininity, revealing why it’s essential to look
beyond cultural and historical stereotypes to gain an understanding
of what it means to be a man or a woman.
Discussed in this episode:
- Meet Dr. Jennifer E. Morel!
- The importance of holding both the objective
and the subjective when approaching questions about gender and
sex;
- Why most paradigms used to define the masculine
and feminine genius are too shallow, missing what is actually true
about being a man or woman;
- Examples and stories from Dr. Morel’s cultural
research about the ways different cultures view gender
roles;
- Masculinity and femininity as something we grow
in our whole lives;
- Announcement of CatholicPsych Press receiving
rights from the Vatican to print certain out-of-print plays written
by St. John Paul II;
- The need for the Church to provide a clear and
cohesive picture of what it means to be a man or a woman to offer
as an antidote to the confusion in modern culture;
- Fatherhood as being like the work of an artist,
and the importance of a father making a choice to participate in
the life of his family;
- In cross cultural studies, is there a sense
that one can grow into a greater experience of humanity through
interaction with the opposite sex?
