“The State of Things” host Frank Stasio talked with Paul Readman, professor of history at King’s College London, and Chad Bryant, associate professor of history at UNC-Chapel Hill, about the history and politics behind walking. They’ve written a new book, “Walking Histories, 1800-1914” (Palgrave Macmillan/2016).

Does globalization hurt poor workers? Layna Mosley, professor of political science at UNC-Chapel Hill, writes in The Washington Post that “it’s complicated.”

Mosley is the author of Labor Rights and Multinational Production and Global Capital and National Governments. Her research focuses on the connections between the global economy and domestic policy outcomes.
