概要

 A Jesuit college judges itself on who our students become and ‘Formative’ is an interview podcast about those lives and stories. It features intimate conversations with notable alums – from arts and culture, public service, business, philanthropy, sports, education, science, and so on – from Jesuit colleges across the country. Host Michael Serazio, associate professor of communication at Boston College, asks questions about who and what shaped their life journeys, influenced their successes, and guided them through callings, causes, challenges, and careers. An official podcast of Conversations Magazine and the National Seminar on Jesuit Higher Education, ‘Formative’ is about the impact our graduates have had and how they might inspire future generations of young people to set the world on fire.Copyright Conversations Magazine 社会科学

    Formative 16: The business of talking your way out of crisis (with Roshini Rajkumar, Boston College ‘93)
    2026/02/09
    The path to a successful broadcast journalism career doesn’t usually start in law school. But that’s where Roshini Rajkumar, Boston College class of 1993, started hers. Rajkumar combined a genetic penchant for the cinematic arts with a passion for justice and sticking up for the little guy on her way through big city TV markets of the Midwest. And, then, twenty years ago this month, she turned entrepreneurial and launched a strategic consulting firm that would accompany her "The Crisis Files" podcast and legal analyst expertise. In episode 16 of Formative, we talk about how corporate brands can go awry when riffing on the news cycle; why objectivity ought not be a dirty word in journalism; and how the U.S. Constitution can offer the path out of the terrible crisis besieging her hometown of Minneapolis.

  • Formative 15: From childhood sports fan to pro team president (with Mark Lamping, Rockhurst University ‘80)

    Formative 15: From childhood sports fan to pro team president (with Mark Lamping, Rockhurst University ‘80)
    2025/05/07
    When Mark Lamping, Rockhurst University class of 1980, was camping out for World Series tickets in the 4th grade, he wouldn’t have dared to dream of running the team one day. Ironically lucky for him, a 1994 strike and cancelled season found those same St. Louis Cardinals in need of the longtime Anheuser-Busch marketing executive. The national pastime – our summer storyline that unspools slowly and satisfyingly – had been stolen from fans. It was a call to repair and rebuild. In episode 15 of Formative, we talk about the commercial value of fan emotion; why the NFL remains the last form of American mass culture amidst fragmentation; and taking a mid-life leap from professional comfort and stability to go build a billion-dollar stadium for New York City.

  • Formative 14: In politics, may the best argument win (with Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Marquette University ‘67)

    Formative 14: In politics, may the best argument win (with Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Marquette University ‘67)
    2025/01/22
    Kathleen Hall Jamieson has an enlightenment faith in “eloquentia perfecta” – faith in reason, faith in facts, faith in public debate and civil discourse. Sometimes – and especially these days – that faith might feel in short supply. But that faith took Jamieson from Marquette University, class of 1967, to the heights of political communication scholarship – authoring a library shelf of pioneering books, achieving a CV’s worth of distinguished career awards, and serving as both dean and public policy center director at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication. In episode 14 of Formative, we talk about presidential communication styles from Reagan’s televisual charm to Trump’s norm-shattering volume; the epistemological peril in discrediting expertise; and how rhetoric, at its best, can open up the humanity of an audience.
