Q: What are the structural and educational steps that can help prevent mass violence rooted in gendered hatred?
Suggestions include cross-disciplinary collaboration, digital media literacy programs for youth, early intervention through community organizations led by men, and educational reforms that address both gender norms and violence prevention, alongside broader policy actions.

Q: Tell me about your background and how you came to write Man Up.
The guest discusses transitioning from education-focused research on hate and anti-Semitism to studying how masculinity, gender norms, and misogyny connect to violent extremism, motivated by media coverage and high-profile gendered violence cases.
Seth S. Tannenbaum, "Bleacher Seats and Luxury Suites: Democracy and Division at the Twentieth-Century Ballpark" (U Illinois Press, 2026)
Q: What surprised you most in researching the Astros/Astrodome and the broader civil rights context?
The surprising collaboration with civil rights leaders to desegregate the Astrodome for bond elections, and the nuanced view of leadership that saw inclusion as selective and strategically marketed rather than universal.

Q: How did your interest in ballparks begin?
Tannenbaum describes growing up as a Phillies fan in Philadelphia, with family ties to baseball that made ballparks a natural part of his childhood, which later evolved into a scholarly interest during graduate school.
