0:11.7	Our podcast brings together America's top politicians, journalists, academics, and strategists from across the political spectrum for discussions on hot button issues where we
0:21.5	respect each other and respected truth. We hope you enjoy these conversations.
0:29.5	Hi, everyone, and welcome to our webinar on Politics of Care. I'm Darby-Saxby. I'm an associate
0:36.9	professor of psychology at USC and the current
0:40.2	director of USC's Center for the Changing Family. So this event is a collaboration between USC's

1:11.6	Our Center for the Changing Family was founded in 2020, and it acts as an interdisciplinary hub for family studies, research, and practice across USC's campus, supporting research training and public communication related to the family.
