    Ivy Insights

    The FreshEd podcast is a hidden gem in the world of education podcasts. As a graduate student, I was introduced to this podcast in one of my courses and I quickly became addicted. The guests on this show bring a wealth of knowledge about education and other relevant topics, and host Will Brehm does an excellent job of asking thought-provoking questions that push the interviews to great depths in a short amount of time. I have learned so much from listening to these podcasts and highly recommend them to anyone interested in gaining insight into what goes on behind the scenes in education.

    One of the best aspects of The FreshEd podcast is the quality and relevance of the topics discussed. With a focus on education and social justice issues, each episode tackles timely subjects that are often not covered in mainstream news outlets. The experts invited to speak offer unique perspectives and delve into complex ideas that are made accessible through their discussions with Brehm. This allows listeners to gain a deeper understanding of current events in education and their implications on a larger scale.

    However, one potential downside of The FreshEd podcast is its US-centric focus. As an international listener, it would be great to see more episodes that explore education systems from around the world. While the content is still very relevant to North American education systems, it would be interesting to hear more about global perspectives on education as well.

    In conclusion, The FreshEd podcast is an excellent resource for anyone interested in staying up-to-date with ideas in education. Will Brehm's thoughtful questions and engaging conversations with experts make each episode informative and captivating. Whether you are a teacher, parent, or education scholar, this podcast offers significant insights into important topics that we should all be paying attention to. With its concise format and diverse range of guests, The FreshEd podcast has become an indispensable part of my learning journey, both personally and professionally.

To celebrate, we are going to air our first ever FreshEd Live event where Saskia Sassen joined me for a conversation about her life and work. Saskia Sassen is a professor at Columbia University. In 1991, she published the now classic book called The Global City where she chronicled how New York, London, and Tokyo became the centers in the new digital economy. What she focused on was the rise of intermediary services that allowed corporations to operate globally. Instead of seeing place as no longer necessary in the digital economy, she saw certain cities as physical sites that became more important than ever in the global economy. For Sassen, intermediaries concentrated in certain parts of the city and relied on high-level knowledge, like algorithmic mathematics. In New York City, financial services took over lower Manhattan. This left a peculiar reality for the physical buildings in the city. As a result, many people who didn't work in intermediary services were expelled from those parts of the city. And yet, despite this expulsion by intermediaries, new forms of inclusion were created. Today's show was recorded at Musashi University during the Third Japanese Political Economy Workshop organized by Nobuharu Yokokawa. https://freshedpodcast.com/sassen/ -- Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com

    In the aftermath of Trump sweeping to power, I thought it would be valuable to return to an interview I conducted with Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire in the aftermath of the 2020 election. In that conversation, we looked back at education under the first Trump presidency and looked ahead to education during the Biden administration. This will be good context to remember as we prepare for Trump 2.0. Next week I'll return with a new interview with Michael Apple about what a second Trump presidency might mean for education over the next four years. -- Today we take stock of public education in the United States after the 2020 election. With me are Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire. You may know Jack and Jennifer from their education podcast called Have You Heard, which you should definitely check out. They've also recently co-written the book A Wolf at the schoolhouse door: The dismantling of public education and the future of school, which traces the war on public education in America. They argue that we should be watching the changes at the state level after the recent election. Jack Schneider is an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and Jennifer Berkshire is a freelance journalist. They co-host the podcast Have You Heard.
