Today, we're talking to our good friend Rob Corzine, vice president of Academic Programs at the St. Paul Center, about conclaves past and present, and how despite humanity's best efforts, the Holy Spirit proves again and again that he is in charge. And our apologies that this episode is dropping later than promised. We decided we wanted to wait until after Pope Francis funeral to drop an episode that was so heavy on conclave talk!Show Notes:Good Pope, Bad Pope: Their Lives, Our Lessons by Mike AquilinaDiscovering the Doctors and Hildegard of Bingen by Emily Stimpson Chapman“I would not say so, in the sense that the Holy Spirit picks out the Pope. . . . I would say that the Spirit does not exactly take control of the affair, but rather like a good educator, as it were, leaves us much space, much freedom, without entirely abandoning us. Thus the Spirit's role should be understood in a much more elastic sense, not that he dictates the candidate for whom one must vote. Probably the only assurance he offers is that the thing cannot be totally ruined. . . . There are too many contrary instances of popes the Holy Spirit obviously would not have picked!” Pope Benedict XVIA Jubilee ChristmasThe Chapman family us heading to Rome on December 26 to spend 10 days soaking in the beauty of Rome at Christmas, celebrating the end of the Jubilee Year, and ringing in the New Year with our new Holy Father (!). We would love to have you join us. The pilgrimage is filling up fast, but we still have room for a couple more families (or quite a few singles or several couples). There are so many graces to be had on pilgrimage—graces of friendship, of learning, of beauty, and worshipping at the very heart of the Church. These pilgrimages are never easy to embark on. Sacrifice is always involved. But if God is calling you to go, this is one journey you won't regret. You can learn more here. This is a public episode.

In this interview, our Moore's Lobby host, Daniel Bogdanoff, chats with Rodger Richey, Vice President of Development Tools and Academic Programs at Microchip Technology. Rodger shares how his passion for engineering began with childhood curiosity, dismantling and repairing devices like a microwave. Those early hands-on experiences laid the foundation for his electrical engineering career, which started with designing underwater electronics for the U.S. Navy. Rodger discusses the evolution of development tools and the growing complexity of embedded systems over his 30-year tenure at Microchip. He emphasizes the importance of creating accessible and user-friendly tools, such as IDEs and development boards, to help developers tackle increasingly sophisticated projects. The integration of AI into development workflows is a major milestone, enabling enhanced productivity and better debugging. Rodger also highlights his involvement in academia, spearheading initiatives like virtual internships and hands-on learning programs to better prepare students for industry roles. By providing real-world tools and fostering collaboration, these programs aim to bridge the gap between theoretical education and practical application. Rodger attributes his longevity at Microchip to its strong values, collaborative culture, and dedication to innovation, which have remained consistent even as the company has grown significantly.

This episode is a recording of the lecture delivered on February 20th by Dr. R.J. Snell at the University Catholic Center of UT Austin. While the term acedia may be unfamiliar, the vice, usually translated as sloth, is all too common. Sloth is not mere laziness, however, but a disgust with reality, a loathing of our call to be friends with God, and a spiteful, bored hatred of place and life itself. As described by Josef Pieper, the slothful person does not “want to be as God wants him to be, and that ultimately means he does not wish to be what he really, fundamentally is.” Sloth is a hellish despair. Our own culture is deeply infected, choosing a destructive freedom rather than the good work for which God created us. But we can resist despair and can reconfigure our imaginations and practices in deep love of the life and work given by God. By feasting, keeping sabbath, and working well, we learn to see the world as enchanting, beautiful, and good—just as God sees it. R.J. Snell is Director of Academic Programs. Prior to his appointment at the Witherspoon Institute, he was for many years Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Philosophy Program at Eastern University and the Templeton Honors College, where he founded and directed the Agora Institute for Civic Virtue and the Common Good.

President Donald Trump has declared a “national energy emergency,” expanding executive powers to shape U.S. energy policy in his second term. What could this mean for the future of American energy? In this episode of The Pie, Ryan Kellogg, the Ralph and Mary Otis Isham Professor and Deputy Dean for Academic Programs at the Harris School of Public Policy, discusses the implications of these federal policy changes. From tariffs on Canadian oil and fuel efficiency standards to tax credits for renewable energy, Kellogg explores how these decisions could shape gas prices, the energy market, and the transition to a green economy.

Higher education institutions continue to struggle with student retention, career readiness, and underemployment among graduates. Traditional college advising models focus heavily on selecting a major, yet many students graduate with empty degrees that fail to translate into meaningful careers. In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, Dr. Drumm McNaughton speaks with Scott Carlson and Dr. Ned Scott Laff, authors of Hacking College: Why the Major Really Doesn't Matter and What Really Does, about how institutions can rethink academic advising, faculty engagement, and student success strategies to better serve today's learners. Carlson, a senior writer for the Chronicle of Higher Education, and Laff, who has over 35 years of experience in college and university settings helping students design successful undergraduate experiences, discuss how universities can shift away from a rigid, major-centric model to a personalized student success framework. They explain how students who lack career clarity often end up in underemployment, taking jobs unrelated to their degrees. Their research shows that institutions must evolve their advising structures to help students identify vocational purpose, leverage experiential learning, and navigate the hidden job market. The Problem with Traditional Academic Advising The outdated focus on major selection leads students into rigid career paths, often misaligned with their strengths and interests. A one-size-fits-all advising model leaves first-generation and low-income students struggling to navigate the complexities of higher education. Limited faculty-student engagement prevents students from leveraging university resources and professional networks. Lack of career-aligned experiential learning results in students graduating without the necessary skills and industry connections. Revolutionizing College-to-Career Transition Carlson and Laff propose a new model where higher education leaders integrate career-focused advising and faculty mentorship into the student experience. This involves: Helping students explore hidden intellectualism—their deeper interests and skills that could shape their career trajectories. Connecting students with faculty and industry professionals to uncover career pathways beyond traditional job titles. Expanding experiential learning opportunities through internships, mentorships, and project-based learning. Teaching students to research the hidden job market to discover roles they might never encounter through a standard career fair. Institutional Strategies for Student Success For university presidents, boards, and executive leaders, improving student outcomes requires a fundamental shift in how advising and faculty engagement are structured. Institutions should: Encourage faculty to act as mentors, guiding students beyond coursework to explore real-world career applications. Train advisors to support students in creating flexible, goal-oriented academic plans that integrate experiential learning. Strengthen career services by building industry partnerships and embedding career readiness into academic programming. Utilize existing institutional resources—including government affairs, research opportunities, and alumni networks—to connect students with career pathways. The Hidden Job Market and Career Readiness Career exploration should begin early in a student's academic journey. Institutions must help students develop the ability to recognize opportunities beyond traditional job titles by: Encouraging proactive networking with faculty, professionals, and industry leaders. Teaching students to research and navigate the hidden job market, where many opportunities exist outside of standard recruitment channels. Expanding experiential learning options, such as internships and project-based coursework, to provide practical experience that aligns with evolving workforce demands. With AI-driven automation threatening traditional advising roles, institutions must act now to redefine how they support student career pathways. Colleges that fail to adapt will continue to see declining retention, underemployment, and dissatisfaction among graduates. Five Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Be Open to Change – Institutions must actively remove barriers that prevent student success. The current advising model is failing many students, and colleges need to adopt a more flexible, student-centered approach that helps learners navigate their academic and career paths effectively. Preserve Academic Variety – Colleges are eliminating liberal arts programs due to financial pressures, but this limits students' ability to create multidisciplinary educational experiences. Institutions should strive to maintain a diverse academic landscape that allows students to explore various career pathways. Engage Directly with Students – University leaders should make an effort to understand student concerns firsthand. By informally engaging with students—whether in common areas or casual settings—presidents and board members can gain valuable insights into what students need to thrive. Empower Students to Take Ownership of Their Education – Instead of following rigid degree structures, students should be encouraged to design their own academic experiences by integrating coursework, experiential learning, and industry engagement in ways that align with their career goals. Advisors and faculty should support this by shifting from a prescriptive model to one that helps students think critically about their education. Rethink Institutional Priorities – Colleges can maintain their research and tenure agendas while also fostering a culture that encourages student success. Leaders should create systems that help students perceive higher education as an interconnected network of opportunities rather than a series of disconnected courses. Higher education institutions that fail to evolve will continue to see declining retention and job placement rates. Listen in as Dr. Drumm McNaughton, Scott Carlson, and Dr. Ned Laff explore how colleges can implement meaningful advising reforms to improve student success, institutional sustainability, and long-term career outcomes. Institutions looking for solutions to align their academic programs with evolving student needs should explore Academic Realignment and Redesign strategies.

OKYO Pharma CEO Gary Jacob joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news the company is reporting the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2 trial of OK-101, a topical ocular treatment for neuropathic corneal pain (NCP). This double-masked, randomized, 12-week placebo-controlled trial will enroll 48 patients, all of whom will have their NCP disease confirmed via confocal microscopy. The trial is being conducted at a single center under the leadership of Dr. Pedram Hamrah from Tufts Medical Center, where he serves as Professor and Vice Chair of Research and Academic Programs, and Director of the Center for Translational Ocular Immunology. Dr. Hamrah's expertise will guide the study, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of OK-101 in alleviating pain caused by corneal nerve damage—a condition with no current FDA-approved treatments. Jacob highlighted that OK-101 is a novel, non-opioid therapeutic specifically designed to target the severe and often debilitating pain associated with NCP. This condition can stem from various sources, including dry eye disease, surgery, or infections, and can significantly affect patients' quality of life. Presently, treatment options for NCP are limited to temporary pain relief strategies that often fall short of providing long-term relief. OKYO Pharma's development of OK-101 is a promising step toward addressing this unmet medical need, potentially offering patients a more effective solution to manage their corneal pain. #proactiveinvestors #okyopharmalimited #nasdaq #okyo #NeuropathicPain #OcularPain #OK101Trial #FDAApproval #Biotech #Pharmaceuticals #ClinicalTrial #DrugDevelopment #HealthInnovation#invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

This episode features Jay Wolke and Eli Giclas in conversation with MoCP Curator of Academic Programs and Collections, Kristin Taylor. Jay and Eli discuss their photographic approaches to depict the built environment as a reflection of patterns of human consumption and an imbalanced relationship with nature. They also discuss their appreciation of works by Stan Douglas and Dawn Kim in the MoCP permanent collection. Jay Wolke is an artist and educator based in Chicago, who is known for his decades-long practice of photographing people and architectural spaces. His work often explores the disparities between human ambition and its manifestation in the built environment. Through images made along highways, high rises, underpasses, over passes, rock quarries, casinos, parks, and more, he shows, in his words “perpetual re-imaginings, capricious assemblies, ominous entanglements, and repeatedly regrettable consequences of human industry and hubris.” He has several monographs, including Along the Divide: Photographs of the Dan Ryan Expressway, 2004; and Same Dream Another Time, 2017. His works have been exhibited internationally and are in the permanent print collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York MOMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, and San Francisco MOMA, the MoCP, among others. He is currently a Professor of Photography at Columbia College Chicago, where he was Chair of the Art and Design Department from 2000-2005 and again from 2008-2013. Eli Giclas is a Chicago-based photographer and designer whose projects in rich blacks, whites, and greys speak to an in-between-ness of action for the climate, and the consequences from broken relationships to nature. In his project Counting After Lightning (2021-2024), he makes large-scale images of industrial sites in the Midwest, representing patterns of consumption driven by extractive industries that we use for power. In contrast, another series, On Wing, 2022-2023, he shows volunteers and locations within an urban bird sanctuary, offering one story as a symbol of larger collective acts in healing. He states: “I consider our relationship to our planet and what must change to make a better, more thoughtful future possible…underscoring their collective reverence and the significance of their efforts.” Eli recently completed his MFA in Photography at Columbia College Chicago, under the instruction of Jay Wolke, and he also completed his BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Arizona in 2018.

Drawing on ancient and modern philosophical insights, Snell offers a roadmap to moral reformation and spiritual renewal, embodying philosophy in its purest form—a relentless pursuit of wisdom.

Sam Fornecker chats with philosopher R.J. Snell about his latest book, Lost in the Chaos: Immanence, Despair, Hope (Angelico, 2023). What have frenzied activists, scheming rationalists, and men in Gandalf garb got in common? Why is each symptomatic of societal despair? And what hope can the Church offer a world no longer pining for the forgiveness of sins? In this conversation, Sam Fornecker speaks with R.J. Snell (Director of Academic Programs at the Witherspoon Institute in Princeton, NJ; editor-in-chief of Public Discourse) about the profound despair of contemporary exclusive humanism— its malaises, false hopes, and deepest needs. For more on this week's conversation, see R.J.'s Lost in the Chaos. Enjoying this podcast?

For many people today, avoiding existential despair is like shoveling water from a damaged ship: the effort, no matter how valiant, is ultimately futile. Stuck in an immanent frame, a frame which lacks any real transcendence, one is left without a substantial source for hope. The above remains true, though in different ways, even for believing and practicing Christians. As children of our current culture, that culture shapes even our faith.  This week on HeightsCast, we welcome back Dr. R. J. Snell, the Director of Academic Programs at the Witherspoon Institute and the editor-in-chief of Public Discourse. In the episode, Dr. Snell discusses his recently published book, Lost in the Chaos, in which he offers an examination of the theological virtue of hope and an application of that virtue to our current times. More than an optimistic personality trait, more than a virtue that looks forward to a time in which all shall be made right, and more than a nostalgia that pines for a past in which all is thought to have been right, R. J. encourages us to see hope as a supernatural gift whereby we trust now in the agency of God even while evil perdures around us.

In this second episode of 2024, we bring you excerpts from interviews conducted at the AI in education conference at Western Sydney University in late 2023. In this week's episode, we dive deep into the world of AI in higher education and discuss its transformative potential. From personalised tutoring to improved assessment methods, we discuss how AI is revolutionising the teaching and learning experience. Section 1: Vitomir Kovanovic, Associate Professor of Education Futures, University of South Australia In this interview, Vitomir, a senior lecturer at UniSA Education Futures, shares his perspective on AI in education. Vitomir highlights the major impact that generative AI is having in the field and compares it to previous technological advancements such as blockchain and the internet. He emphasises the transformative nature of generative AI and its potential to reshape teaching methodologies, organizational structures, and job markets. Vita also discusses the importance of adapting to this new way of interacting with technology and the evolving role of teachers as AI becomes more integrated into education. Section 2: Tomas Trescak - Director of Academic Programs in Undergraduate ICT, Western Sydney University Tomas  delves into the challenges of assessment in the age of AI. He highlights the inherent lack of integrity in online assessments due to the availability of undetectable tools that can easily fill in answers. Tomas suggests that online assessments should play a complementary role in assessing students' knowledge and skills, while the main focus should be on in-person assessments that can't be easily duplicated or cheated. He also discusses the role of AI in assessing skills that won't be replaced by robots and the importance of developing graduates who can complement AI in the job market. Section 3:  Back to Vitomir,  to discuss the changing model of education and the potential impact of AI. We explore the concept of education as both a craft and a science and how technology is gradually shifting education towards a more personalised and flexible approach. The discussion highlights the ability of AI to adapt to individual teaching styles and preferences, making it a valuable tool for teachers. We also delve into the potential of AI in healthcare and tutoring, where AI can provide personalised support to students and doctors, leading to more efficient and equitable outcomes.

Polyamorists tend to be stereotyped and portrayed in the popular media as pretty liberal bunch. However, it turns out that they're actually quite diverse in their political views. This isn't surprising when you start to trace the history of the modern polyamory movement in America, because what we see is that it actually has strong libertarian roots. In today's show, we're going to explore the fascinating (and surprising) intersection between polyamory and politics, including how libertarian science fiction writers in the 1960s helped turbocharge interest in polyamory. I am joined once again by Christopher Gleason, who lectures at Kennesaw State University and is the Director of Academic Programs at the Georgia Coalition for Higher Education in Prisons. He lives in Atlanta and his latest book is titled American Poly: A History. Some of the topics we explore include: Who was Robert Heinlein, and what impact did his sci-fi book Stranger in a Strange Land have on American polyamory? Ayn Rand is an author known for shaping right-wing thought, but her work was influential to polyamorists during the sexual revolution. What's the story there? How did a return to sexual conservatism in the 1980s lead to an organized polyamory movement? Why is there a heated debate in the poly community about whether polyamory is about sex versus connection and spirituality? Are individuals on the political left more likely to embrace polyamory as an identity than those with other political views?

Believe it or not, the term “polyamory” has only been around for a little over 30 years. However, while the name itself is still relatively new, the practice of it definitely isn't. Although people were living polyamorous lives long before we ever had this name for it, the way people practice it has morphed and changed over time. So let's dive into the long and fascinating history and evolution of polyamory in the United States. My guest today is Christopher Gleason, who lectures at Kennesaw State University and is the Director of Academic Programs at the Georgia Coalition for Higher Education in Prisons. He lives in Atlanta and his latest book is titled American Poly: A History. Some of the topics we explore include: When did the term polyamory first enter the mainstream, and what were people calling it before that? Who were the first people practicing something that looks like what we might call polyamory today? How did countercultural religious movements in the 1960s and 70s shape the practice of ethical non-monogamy? How did the advent of the internet impact the polyamory movement? How have portrayals of polyamory evolved in the media, and how does this shape people's views and attitudes towards it?

Well-being improves across young adulthood and into midlife, according to a new study by Susan Charles, professor of psychological science at the University of California, Irvine. “Contrary to negative stereotypes of aging, late life is a time of relatively stable and high levels of well-being,” says Charles. “With older age, people focus more on the present and less on planning for the future, and this mindset is one possible explanation for high levels of well-being later in life. Older adults generally report greater satisfaction with their close friends and family members, which may also explain why people who are older have relatively stable levels of well-being over time.” Charles and her research team followed 1,000 people, ages 22 to 95, over two decades for the study, which was published earlier this year in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. They asked participants about the positive and negative emotions they were feeling that day, in the past week and in the past month. You can read more details here. Professor Charles is enthused to discuss her team's findings.

In this episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Dr. Ashleigh Collins, Dean of Academic Programs at Relay Graduate School Education. Dr. Collins discusses how to form a positive relationship with your child's teacher where you act as partners in scaffolding your child. Research shows that a strong predictor of children's academic and social well-being, especially in earlier childhood, is related to the parent-teacher connection. Dr. Collins speaks to the special importance of keeping lines of communication open between parents and teachers, and provides ideas as to how to do this. Further, Dr. Collins speaks about the benefit of establishing connections with other parents and caregivers in your child's class. In addition, we discuss the state of education and teaching as related to the pandemic and post-pandemic. Please tune in next week for a new episode on separation anxiety at the start of the school year. We have postponed our discussion around our first 100 episodes to bring these important topics related to back to school to our audience. Please celebrate with us though in three weeks as we reflect on the past 2.5 years!

Antibiotics are lifesavers. These 20th-century drugs can save lives within hours, often given as just a handful of pills or an injection. But the germs they fight often fight back and evolve quickly. They develop what's known as antimicrobial resistance, and then the drugs people use to treat infections become worthless. This happens naturally, but people and the way we behave often help it develop faster. When people use drugs when they don't need them, or take the wrong drug, that allows bacteria, viruses, or fungi to evolve new tricks to evade the effects of medicines. These drug-resistant superbugs kill millions of people every year, and the problem is getting worse. The One Health Trust is working to educate medical professionals about better ways to conserve and care for these precious antibiotics.

Lou Perez, author of THAT JOKE ISN'T FUNNY ANYMORE: ON THE DEATH AND REBIRTH OF COMEDY.  I was the Head Writer and Producer of the Webby Award-winning comedy channel We the Internet TV. During my tenure at WTI, I made the kind of comedy that gets you put on lists and your words in the Wall Street Journal: “How I Became a ‘Far-Right Radical.” In addition to producing sketch comedy, stand-up, and opinion writing, I am on the advisory board of Heresy Press and host the live show The Wrong Take with Lou Perez andThe Lou Perez Podcast. How'd I start out? I began doing improv and sketch comedy while an undergrad at New York University, where I was part of the comedy group the Wicked Wicked Hammerkatz. For years, I performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (both in NYC and L.A.) in sketch shows with the Hammerkatz and my comedy duo, Greg and Lou. G&L are probably best known for our sketch "Wolverine's Claws Suck," which has over 20 million views across online platforms. I was a writer for Fox Sports' @TheBuzzer; produced The Attendants with the Above Average Network; produced pilots for FOX Digital and MSN Games; and was a comedy producer on TruTV's Impractical Jokers. I hosted the stand-up show Uncle Lou's Safe Place in Los Angeles, performed at the Big Pine Comedy Festival, Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and co-created the political comedy podcast Unsafe Space. I taught creative writing at the City College of New York, "writing the web series" for Writing Pad, and comedy writing workshops for the Moving Picture Institute.

Dr. Matthew Mehan is the Director of Academic Programs for Washington D.C., and Assistant Professor of Government for the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at Hillsdale College. He has been teaching and designing humanities curricula for twenty years, and has published not only academic and popular articles, but also two children's books that prepare children to understand the intellectual heritage of the West.Matt and Inez discuss how children's literature can rise above the ugliness and confusion of much of the genre, as well as how an embarrassing version of childishness has spread to young (and not-so-young) adults. They also continue last week's conversation with Paul Rossi about the promising trajectory of schools like Hillsdale that offer a real liberal arts education — that is, an education that helps us to be truly free.--High Noon is an intellectual download featuring conversations that make possible a free society.
