Welcome to Classical Essentials, a special Best of BaseCamp Live series! Over the years, we've had incredible conversations unpacking the foundational ideas of classical Christian education. In this series, we're bringing back some of the most popular and essential episodes to help parents, educators, and school leaders better understand the core principles that make this movement so impactful.In this episode, Dr. Chris Schlect tackles a common point of confusion: What exactly do we mean by classical, liberal arts, and humanities? Are they distinct educational approaches, or do they overlap? Understanding these terms is key to choosing the best educational path for our children and schools.

Mike Switzer interviews Dr. Cedric Adderly, president of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts & Humanities in Greenville, S.C.

In this episode of Psychology and Stuff, Dr. Alison Jane Martingano interviews Dr. Ryan Martin, Dean for the College of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, about sadness, mood, depression and the New Year. Dr. Ryan Martin (aka the Anger Professor) is a leading expert on emotional wellness. His work has been featured by the New York Times, NPR's Invisibilia, BBC Radio's Digital Human, TED.com, and other major media outlets.

In recent decades, classical education has experienced significant growth both in the U.S. and globally. This educational approach takes various forms, including traditional five-day programs, hybrid/collaborative models, and homeschooling. Alongside these formats, a flurry of terms like “classical Christian,” “Christian classical,” “classical liberal arts,” and “humanities education” have emerged. Understanding and distinguishing among these options can be complex for schools and parents alike. Today,  Dr. Chris Schlect, Director of the Classical and Christian Studies at New Saint Andrews College, joins us to help clarify these terms and explore their significance in shaping the next generation through our homes and schools. Special Thanks to this week's incredible sponsors: Americas Christian Credit UnionClassical Learning TestGrand Canyon UniversityGutenberg College Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

"My entire philosophy of choral music is that of all forms of music it is the one that has the capacity to produce a state of transcendence, and as a composer that is my primary function. Bear in mind, I don't write music for choirs; I write music for people. If you perform the music correctly, it can open a gateway, a higher state of consciousness."Born in 1964 in Dublin, Ireland, Michael is a composer of music and lyrics, film maker and runs the three connected vocal ensembles that he founded ANÚNA, M'ANAM and Systir. Michael's music combines elements of modality and contemporary compositional practices. He specializes in the composition of music for voices.His extensive output includes a number of pieces that have entered the standard repertoire of choirs all over the world. His settings of Irish language texts in particular fuse modality, alternating time signatures and medieval tonal colours in a unique fashion that is instantly recognisable as his work. While he is deeply passionate about creating music in the Irish language his music is expansive, spanning genres, languages and exploring the links between film making and musical creativity. Michael's music spans a huge range of textures, encompassing larger scale occasional pieces such as “Agnus Dei” (2005) commissioned by Chanticleer, and “Maalaulu” (2021), commissioned by Tampere Vocal Festival. Many of his compositions have entered the standard choral repertoire for choirs across the world including “Incantations”, “Dúlamán”, “One Last Song” and “Hinbarra”. In 2017 Michael was the recipient of the University College Dublin Alumni Award in Arts/Humanities and was visiting Eminent Scholar at the Music Department of Florida Atlantic University (2011-2013). In 2019 he became part of the UCD Creative Fellows. He was Artistic Director of the Tampere Vocal Festival (2021) and in 2022 was invited to give a presentation on the genesis of his compositions at the Nordic Choral Directors Conference in Reykjavík. His film “Mutability and Transcendence” was premiered at the World Symposium on Choral Music 2023 in Istanbul. Michael has produced and recorded nineteen albums for ANÚNA and M'ANAM. ANÚNA (1993), Celtic Origins (2007) and Christmas Memories (2008) have featured in the US Billboard Charts.

A celebration of Toni Morrison with two of Ohio's most revered poets and authors as Hanif Abdurraqib and Dionne Custer Edwards discuss the influences of Toni Morrison's work on their own and celebrate the importance of her legacy as writers and Ohioans. Toni Morrison Day is celebrated on February 18th in Ohio, commemorating the birth of the literary giant and possibly “the greatest Ohioan we've ever had,” as Hanif Abdurraqib remembers her. Morrison often used Ohio as a setting for her novels, from examining the influences and disparities of White and Black families living in post-Depression era Lorain in The Bluest Eye to exploring the insidious reach of slavery over the Ohio River in Beloved. Toni Morrison's writing shed the white gaze and centered stories that explored the terrors, hopes, and dreams of Black lives and communities.  Hanif Abdurraqib - a 2021 MacArthur Genius' Grant Recipient - is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio. His poetry has been published in Muzzle, Vinyl, PEN American, and various other journals. His essays and music criticism have been published in The FADER, Pitchfork, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. He is the author of the poetry collections The Crown Ain't Worth Much, a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Prize, and A Fortune For Your Disaster, which won the 2020 Lenore Marshall Prize, and the essay collections They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, named a best book of the year by Buzzfeed, Esquire, NPR, Oprah Magazine, Paste, CBC, The Los Angeles Review, Pitchfork, and The Chicago Tribune, among others; Go Ahead In The Rain: Notes To A Tribe Called Quest, a New York Times Bestseller, a finalist for the Kirkus Prize, and longlisted for the National Book Award; and A Little Devil In America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance, which was shortlisted for the National Book Award. He is a graduate of Beechcroft High School. Dionne Custer Edwards is a writer, educator, and the Director of Learning & Public Practice at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Her work in the arts and education spans 25 years, including nearly two decades at the Wex where she pioneered several groundbreaking education programs that include Pages, an art and writing program serving hundreds of high school students a year from across central Ohio. Dionne has received acknowledgments and awards that include professional fellowships with Americans for the Arts, the Jefferson Center for the Arts, and a GCAC Arts Educator of the Year. Dionne is co-editor of a forthcoming book series by Ohio State University Press, On Possibility: Social Change and the Arts + Humanities, with the first issue due out in 2023.

In this episode, Sofie speaks with Professor Ioannis Michaloudis about his research career investigating the application of the NASA-created material Aerogel in design, his creative work and his collaboration with Boucheron. Prof. Ioannis Michaloudis is a visual artist, researcher and academic, internationally acknowledged as a leader in Art&Science, and the first researcher worldwide to apply the ethereal nanomaterial silica aerogel in visual arts and design. His career began in Paris, at Sorbonne University, where he presented his thesis on Visual Arts in 1998. After receiving a “Greek Artists” Fulbright Award in 2001, he undertook research on art and nanotechnology at MIT where he started his research on the application of the space age silica aerogel in visual arts. He is the Founding Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Humanities, American University of Cyprus (AUCY), Larnaca, Cyprus. An astonishing achievement of Prof. Michaloudis is that in 2022, two of his silica aerogel aer( )sculptures -as part of Carnegie Mellon's University MoonArk project- they will be rocketed to the moon and exist there for billions of years.

On this episode, we talk everything from the Bible, to the Black Church, Islamic persecution around the globe and back! Part II of our CONVERSATIONS series features the WWH co-host: the insightful, sensitive and cool Verdell Wright. It is the continuation of an on-going dialogue stemming from Episode 6 and Episode 10 ("Good God Gone" and "Conversations!" if you missed it). This time we're deconstructing higher New Testament criticism and what that means in for a demographic where as much as 90% of faithful Christians believe in Biblical literalism. Former Minister and ex-seminarian Verdell Wright and host Rogiérs, a former Minister of Music discuss the intense and subtle dynamics of faith and culture in-practice, and the ways in which inequities, trends and systems impact and impair healthy relationships in the Black Church, with ourselves...and each other. We also ponder what it means to “Accountable” as individuals and institutions of faith.  _____________________________  (Ep. 17)   Show Notes   Host: Rogiérs   Writing & Narration: Rogiérs   Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC  Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon  Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu  Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC  Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson  Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, Tarell “BAM” Lester, Kevin Terry and Predestined   Resources & Mentions  "Why I Stopped Pursuing Ordained Ministry", Verdell A.

Dr. Jeffrey B. Perry brings us together with this ultimate appearance in our Legacy series on WWH. He has been active in the working class movementfor 50 years studying, writing and speaking on two of the most important thinkers on race and class in the twentieth century --Theodore W. Allen and Cruzan-American Black atheist, activist and scholar, Hubert Harrison.  Called “A brilliant masterpiece” by the American Historical Review, Perry is the author of two biographies on Harrison: The Voice of Harlem Radicalism 1883-1918 and The Struggle for Equality 1918-1927 for which he nominated a Pulitzer Prize. In this episode we pick up where we left off previously. Jeffrey discusses Harrison's his money woes and ultimate clash with the burgeoning socialist movement, differences with W.E.B, Dubois and his valid critiques of Marcus Garvey; all in ways that reverberate to this very day.   _____________________________   (Ep. 16)    Show Notes    Host: Rogiérs    Writing & Narration: Rogiérs    Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC   Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu   Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC   Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson   Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks    Resources & Mentions   Jeffrey B.

A giant of both Afro-Caribbean and African-American history, we rejoin Jeffrey B. Perry in his second Legacy appearance covering Volume II of his autobiography and treatment of the one and only Hubert Harrison. Called “The Black Socrates” by Joel A. Rogers, Harrison practically mentored Marcus Garvey, rubbed shoulders with A. Phillip Randolph and Arturo Schomburg and wrote the book on “militant” Negro politics for generations to come.   Harrison is a name Every Black History program should cover and that every Black freethinker should become critically aware of. But whether you know these names or not,  do stick around.

Who and what were are the “Black Georgians” of the British empire? And how did their struggles of dissent shape our past and present freedom narratives? Author, historian and professor S.I. Martin, from our Legacy program introduces us to these international men and women of mystery, conviction and fortitude.   The Black Georgians describes Black people in The Georgian era; a period in British History from 1714 to c. 1830–37, named after the Hanoverian Kings George I, II, III and IV. It was a time of immense social change in Britain, the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution class hierarchies and continual warfare. Some are well-known such as Phyllis Wheatley and Olaudah Equiano while others have been forgotten. Nonetheless, all are well regarded as extreme personalities, artists, rebels, abolitionists and even accomplices.  _____________________________ (Ep. 14)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks.

"The Momentum of Memory" vs. "The Violence of Forgetting." Throughout history a well-documented feature of authoritarianism, totalitarian regimes, religious indoctrination and myth-making is the reshaping of collective and individual memory. As a person of African descent, deconstructing religion can yield epiphanies not only in science or theology but in the heavy political histories of ethnicity and provenance. This episode covers the ways in which forgetfulness, memory laws/loss and short collective memories play into narratives that distort, demean, erase and discriminate. We cover the George Floyd "Year of Reckoning", Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, 45, my former pastor and the subtle manipulative power of misinformation + forgetfulness imposed on us via religion and culture.  _____________________________ (Ep. 13)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks, Overjoyed Blue Note Japan Recordings, IMOK Gospel Music, Howard University Gospel Choir Resources  Sarah Frostenson, “Aftermath of Year of Reckoning”, Fiver Thirty Eight: A Politics Chat Michele Norris, "Don't call it a racial reckoning.

More than 100 years ago a Black skeptic/atheist/agnostic/freethinker from the Danish West Indies framed a conversation on Pan-Africanism, modeled Socialist Black political organizing, advocated for labor rights and progressive Black entertainment in a vaudeville era of American life wreathed in poverty, White Supremacy, World Wars and European Imperialism. This episode continues Dr. Jeffrey B. Perry's presentation on Hubert Harrison-a bridge between Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, The Black Panthers, Occupy Wallstreet and BLM.  Perry reveals all of these connections on with his account of the life of Harrison known as the "Black Socrates,” a freethinking orator, writer and contemporary in the then Harlem Renaissance. Pitifully unsung, all roads to Arturo Schomburg, A. Phillip Randolph, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luter King, James Brown, James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni, The Black Panthers, Sista Soulja (and so many more) therefore, lead directly through Hubert Harrison.  _____________________________ (Ep. 12)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks and V.Rich/"Ocean of Love" (Out Now!)

Who is one of the greatest icons of movement history that you've likely never heard of? Someone who 100+ years ago conceptualized Pan-Africanism, modeled new Black political organization, labor rights advocacy, religious dissent and championed (and scrutinized) Black actors, playwrights and entertainers in ways few others would? Who literally stands as a bridge between Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King and BLM? And who both created language for subsequent Black leaders and mercilessly scrutinized icons like Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Dubois and others in their blind spots? It is Hubert Harrison.   The lifelong work of this intellectual Black giant -and his biographer, renowned scholar and author, Jeffrey B. Perry- reveals all of these connections on today's episode with his account of the life of Harrison. In fact, it may be said that not only is this "Black Socrates” pitifully unsung, but all roads to Arturo Schomburg, A. Phillip Randolph, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luter King, James Brown, James Baldwin, Nikki Giovanni, The Black Panthers, Sista Soulja (and so many more) therefore, lead directly through Hubert Harrison.  This episode is Part I of Jeffrey B. Perry's interview on Harrison from the 2021 Legacy series covering his migration from the Caribbean (now USVI) to the US and his early work as a freethinking orator, writer and contemporary in the then Harlem Renaissance.  _____________________________ (Ep. 11)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks and V.Rich/"Ocean of Love" (Out Now!)

What is the relevance of "community" at all? Why is it important to apply a critical racial lens in conversation around faith, stigma and our future? How do these dynamics show up when we're not looking?  On this episode we study the effect(s) of coercion, exclusion and "othering" through subtle acts of religious supremacy in public policy and government. We first look into rhetoric of government officials desperate to preserve cultural notions of straight, White minority and Christian rule in specific arguments contesting "unenumerated rights". Then we conclude  with the voice of Religious Freedom advocate, ally to the Nonbeliever community and Interfaith Advocate, Dr. Sabrina Dent. Based here in the Washington, DC area, Dent first remarks to Legacy (2020) appear in the previous Episode 8. She has worked tirelessly to reduce stigma among religious minorities-speaking truth to power not only in the public sphere but also within intra-faith circles and organizations.   _____________________________ (Ep. 9)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks Resources & Mentions Dr. Sabrina Dent, President of Center for Faith, Justice, and Reconciliation (Richmond, VA.)  "In Class with Carr." The Karen Hunter Show, Ep. 107 Dr. Greg Carr.

Perhaps one of the biggest slept-on challenges we face moving through life and all its stages is how do we form community, maintain it, hold it accountable, reconcile it and how we discard community in/around us?Sometimes we get it right, sometimes we don't so much. On this episode Ro tells a story of a peculiar encounter with a random lady at Eastern Market and we study the historical relationships between American patriarchy, social class and imposition of its faith-based, foundational ideas. Then we invite the much needed voice of a Religious Freedom advocate, ally to the Nonbeliever community and Interfaith Advocate, Dr. Sabrina Dent from her Legacy appearance in 2020. Based here in the Washington, DC area, Dent has worked tirelessly to reduce stigma among religious minorities-speaking truth to power not only in the public sphere but also within intra-faith circles and organizations.   _____________________________ (Ep. 8)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Assistant Producer, Research: Drai Salmon Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks Resources & Mentions Dr. Sabrina Dent, President of Center for Faith, Justice, and Reconciliation (Richmond, VA.)  "In Class with Carr." The Karen Hunter Show, Ep. 107 Dr. Greg Carr.

To be or not to be...our ancestors. Over the last few years of Civil Rights protests here within the United States has been common to hear the phrase “I am not my ancestors”. And increasingly, entertainers speaking for African-Americans echo these sentiments in the public sphere. Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube have all gone on-record to openly disclaim, mock and rebuke long-held or respected connections to our forbearers in movement history. What is behind this? Is it fair or accurate to our collective memory or are their comments better explained by cultural bias, shame, anti-blackness and/or poor historical education? Beyond them, how do inaccurate retellings of history similarly play into our perceptions of self, community and resistance?   In this episode we feature Author and Professor Christopher Cameron for a second discussion, helping us to reshape our view of ancestry and more accurately detail our own history in Black Freethought-related Civil Rights work and the Creative Arts. Cameron is a professor of Professor of History and Interim Chair of Africana Studies at Univ. Of NC Charlotte and Author, Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism.   _____________________________ (Ep. 7)  Show Notes Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits courtesy of: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks Resources & Mentions "Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism", Christopher Cameron, Northwestern University Press  "I Am Not My Ancestors", Z From Baltimore (Spoken Word)  “West African Ancestral Cults Shows the Belief in Life After Death”, Chinelo Eze, Life  "Common, Pharrell, and ‘The New Black': An Ignorant Mentality That Undermines the Black Experience”, Stereo Williams, The Daily Beast  “Kanye West makes chaotic presidential rally debut in South Carolina”, The Guardian  “Kanye West says 'slavery was a choice'”, CBC News  "Snoop Dogg Asks Fans to Boycott ‘Roots': 'Let's Create Our Own Shit Based on Today'", Ryan Parker, The Hollywood Reporter  _____________________________ For Contact, Inquiry, Voicemail & Feedback:  E: BNDCPodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @WWHPodcasting _____________________________ Additional Content: Find the entire LEGACY catalogue of programs online at the Black Nonbelievers YouTube Channel!

The “Doubting Thomas” of the Bible has special resonance for our communities. Fear of doubt will reliably illicit a negative reaction and anxiety for many regardless of the faith tradition (e.g. Islam, Christianity, Yoruba/Vodún, Pantheist, Spiritualist). On this episode we chronicle the fear of losing faith, spotlight the exile of a groundbreaking Pentecostal Bishop turned heretic and critique Anti-Atheist bias in rhetoric, behavior and policy for Black resistance and Social Justice movements.   ________________________________ (Ep. 5) Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks ________________________________ Resources Black US Secular Survey Report (2021, American Atheists)  Media Clips & Contributions Louis Farrakhan, Farrakhan: Suicide & the Causes of Homosexuality  Belle's, TV One Network  Blackish, ABC  Diana Nyad “Super Soul Sunday”, OWN Network  "The Inclusion Conclusion", The Lexi Show  Mandisa Thomas, BlackNonbelievers.org Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Warner Brothers Films “Disrupting the Narrative”, Religious Freedom Forum Symposium (2018, Washington, DC) Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Congressional Black Caucus (2019 ALC Conference, Washington, DC)   _____________________________ For Contact, Inquiry, Voicemail & Feedback:  E: BNDCPodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @WWHPodcasting _____________________________ Additional Content: Find the entire LEGACY catalogue of programs online at the Black Nonbelievers YouTube Channel!

"Life is too good to waste on bad ideas" and Andrew Seidel (author, constitutional lawyer & activist) is convinced the idea that America's foundational principles are Christian, is not only 'bad'...it's a myth. Aside from writing, Seidel works with the FFRF to ensure that the government officials don't use offices and power that belong to “We the people” to promote their personal religion. He has appeared on outlets from MSNBC to Fox News and his writing has been featured in Slate, ThinkProgress, Religion Dispatches, Religion News Service, The Hill, Forbes and more.  Andrew contributed his talk at the 2020 Legacy webinar series produced by BNDC (Black Nonbelievers of DC). ________________________________ (Ep.4) Host: Rogiérs  Writing & Narration: Rogiérs  Production & Editing: Fibby Music Group, LLC Opening performed by Rogiérs, Reginald & Alesandra Ndu Recorded at: FMG Studios, Washington, DC Cover Artwork: Emily Wilson Music Licensing/Episode Musical Credits: Fibby Music Recordings, Storyblocks ________________________________ Featured Speakers, Authors & Scholars Andrew Seidel, "The Founding Myth" _____________________________ For Contact, Inquiry, Voicemail & Feedback:  E: BNDCPodcast@gmail.com Twitter: @WWHPodcasting _____________________________ Additional Content: Find the entire LEGACY catalogue of programs online at the Black Nonbelievers YouTube Channel!

What do the Pope, the Puritans & Pastor Paula White have in common? Come along as we explore some of the how's & why's that make religion & politics a match not quite "made in heaven". Rogiérs details the phenomena of 'colonial faith', its political underpinnings throughout history and draws links to modern American Evangelical culture and the political Right.

So many art venues shut down during the pandemic, and I'm sure many of the people that ran those venues mourn for not only what might have been, but also the fact that there wasn't an opportunity for closure. My guest for this episode of The Art Biz is Mai Wyn Schantz, an artist who was also a gallerist when she closed her space at the beginning of COVID. She hated to lose the relationships she had built over the years as the gallerist. She needed closure and she was determined to do right by her artists. As soon as she felt it was safe, Mai Win organized a pop-up farewell exhibition with her artists. Her goal was to break even, which as you'll hear was far too conservative of a goal because she hit it out of the park, mostly because of the relationships she had nurtured throughout the years. Together we discuss the timing of the pop-up, the details for pulling it off, including the space she worked with, and what she learned from the experience. She reveals at least three things that she will do differently next time, and will inspire you to consider a pop-up gallery for your next art sales event. Highlights Mai Wyn's journey to finding her space in galleries. (1:42) Acting as a gallerist when you feel like an imposter. (6:11) The impact of an artist's experience on Mai Wyn's gallery experience. (8:58) Reflections on the decision to close her gallery. (11:55) Celebrating the closure the proper way with a pop-up gallery. (16:16) Artist requirements for participation in the event. (25:42) How to promote a pop-up event across your network. (27:08) Handling inventory and sales in a pop-up gallery. (30:10) Playing the part of the hostess means hiring the right kind of help. (32:50) Lessons learned from this hugely successful pop-up. (42:51) Exceeding sales expectations by 1000%. (49:00) The relationships that make artists and gallerists succeed. (50:26) Mai Wyn gets real about what's up next for her as a reborn artist.

Since her introduction to the art world in 1999, Schantz has exhibited steadily, including solo and group exhibitions at commercial galleries, art centers and museums notably the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Yellowstone Art Museum and Arvada Center for the Arts & Humanities in Colorado. Beyond the studio, she remains an avid hiker spending her down time exploring trails along the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies with her husband and young daughter.

Featuring Sarah St. Vincent & Karolina Zapal How many times can we reference the 90's before you actually start believing that we can time travel? Are hairspray bangs enough (specifically Kirsten Dunst's lack of them in On Becoming a God in Central Florida)? As the editorial table moves through space-time in our usual fashion, starting off in 1991, Sarah St. Vincent gives us a feeling of the WWE moments of intimacy which make, as Jason says with some Hulk Hogan gusto, YOUR BODY SING WITH PAIN! The spectacle of boxing and the compelling stillness of combat reminds Marion of Gabrielle Calvocoressi's poetry book, “Apocalyptic Swing.” If you're hearing the poem twice, that's not ringing in your cauliflower ears! This episode, we take some cues from Pádraig Ó Tuama's “Poetry Unbound” series by reading, discussing, and then reading again. Repetition, both in words and time loops, seems to be the theme here with Karolina Zapal sliding in more than a few ‘I love you's into her poem. Calling all Grammar Slushies: What is the term for doubling up on words? This episode is brought to you by one of our sponsors, Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.  Sarah St. Vincent Sarah St.Vincent is a human rights lawyer by day and poet by night (or very early morning). Her debut novel, Ways to Hide in Winter, was published in 2018, and she currently directs a clinic at Cornell University that provides computer security advice to domestic violence survivors. She's originally from that swingin'-est of swing states, Pennsylvania, and lives in Brooklyn. Sarah's Twitter handle is @Sarah_StVincent.  Karolina Zapal Karolina Zapal is an itinerant poet, essayist, translator, and author of two books: Notes for Mid-Birth (Inside the Castle, 2019) and Polalka (Spuyten Duyvil, 2018). As an immigrant and activist writer, she writes frequently about her native Poland, languages, borders, and women's rights. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming from The Rumpus, Inverted Syntax, Tupelo Quarterly, The Seventh Wave, Mantis, Posit, and others. She has completed three artist residencies: Greywood Arts in Killeagh, Ireland; Brashnar Creative Project in Skopje, Macedonia; and Bridge Guard in Štúrovo, Slovakia. She works at the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts & Humanities.

Interdisciplinarity is a series of dialogues between fellows who have spent a period of residence at the British School at Rome. EPISODE 1 - Bea Bonafini & Eóin Parkinson-The BSR is one of the many foreign Academies present in Rome, which represent individuals who are emerging in the public sphere and inserting themselves in the city's extraordinary cultural heritage.Artists and academics live together for several months, establishing not only interpersonal relationships, but often also professional collaborations, thanks to a constant sharing of knowledge that embraces multiple disciplines. In many cases this exchange leads to the discovery of affinities and overlaps among award holders' researches, which relate in new and unexpected ways.In this series of podcasts, an artist and an academic from the BSR will be in conversation, comparing their research practices and exploring new possible approaches and collaborations.-Bea Bonafini is Abbey Scholar 2019/2020 at the British School at Rome and Eóin Parkinson is the CRASSH/British School at Rome Fellow 2019-2020. The conversation for Interdisciplinarity will focus on their research interests, which both revolve around the body, its life after death, its formal aspects, the configurations of its dismemberment and dispersion, and then working backwards, to its life before death. Bea Bonafini works across painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and installations. Her interdisciplinary practice is inspired by overlaps in ancient and modern art history, human relationships, ritual processes and material craftsmanship. She explores the flexibility of painting possibilities that come by substituting paint and canvas, breaking the boundaries between the viewer and work, expanding and compressing scale to envelop and draw the viewer in. Her work operates on the boundary between functionality and the aesthetic, where its tactility and intimacy is brought to the forefront. Eóin Parkinson is an archaeologist specialised in the analysis of human skeletons, death and burial in past societies. In his PhD research, Eóin investigated the impact of social and economic change on the human body across 5000 years of Italian prehistory through scientific analysis of human skeletons. His current project, funded by the Isaac Newton Trust, and developed at the BSR and University of Cambridge's Centre for Research in the Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities, builds upon his previous research and investigates the relationship between depictions of the human form and treatment of the body after death through consideration of prehistoric art and burial evidence. Eóin is particularly interested in communal burial - whereby the bones of multiple buried individuals become intermixed and fragmented – and what these processes can tell us about past societies.

A panel discussion as part of the SHAPE-ID webinar series Shaping Conversations on Interdisciplinary Research in partnership with Trinity Long Room Hub. The SHAPE-ID Policy Brief recommends that funders and policy makers invite greater Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) participation in designing and evaluating inter- and transdisciplinary research funding calls and adapt funding instruments to acknowledge some of the unique features of inter- and transdisciplinarity, such as the time it takes to build mutually respectful collaborations. But what are the challenges for funding agencies on the ground, and how have they innovated in developing funding programmes? The webinar will invite representatives of funding agencies from different European countries to discuss their challenges and efforts to develop funding programmes with AHSS involvement in inter- and transdisciplinary research. Professor Jane Ohlmeyer (Trinity College Dublin), Principal Investigator of the SHAPE-ID project and Chair of the Irish Research Council, will chair the discussion.

Dear Slushies, join the PBQ crew (which includes a freshly-tenured Jason Schneiderman) for a pre-pandemic recording of our discussion of 3 poems by the wonderful Vasiliki Katsarou’s work. Be sure to read the poems on the page below as you listen.  They’ll require your eyes and ears-- and “a decoder ring.” The team has a grand old time explicating these artful poems. The muses are sprung and singing in us as we read and decide on this submission. Katsarou’s poems teach us to read them without projecting too much of ourselves and our current preoccupations onto them. We’re reminded to pay attention to what’s happening on the page. But synchronicities abound! Before we know it we’re ricocheting off of the poems’ images and noting the wonderful convergences the poems trigger -  we hear traces of Wallace Stevens “Idea of Order of Key West” or Auden’s Musee de Beaux Arts. (But first we check in with each other, cracking each other up in a pre-pandemic moment of serious lightness. We’re heard that “Science” shows Arts & Humanities majors make major money in the long run. Kathy reports that “the data on success” shows that participation in Nativity Plays is a marker for career success. Samantha confesses she played Mary Magdalene in a Nativity Play. Marion might have been a Magi. And many of us were reindeer.. Also, Donkeys do better than sheep over time (which may or may not have been claimed on “Wait, wait… don’t tell me!”).  Editing a Lit Mag shouldn’t be this much fun, Slushies. Listen through to the discussion of the 3rd poem’s deep magic and craft. And listen to our editors’ cats chime in). Addison Davis, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, Kathleen Volk Miller,  Marion Wrenn, and Joe Zang

[22:51]Dakota shares that currently the goal is to develop a strategic plan that will create the path to expand their program. [23:37]Dakota’s contact information.   Remarkable Quotes: [13:55] As the founder of a startup nonprofit organization, "If you don't move the train, the train is not going to move". [16:42] "Fiscal sponsorship is like the life hack for starting a nonprofit organization". [20:25] "Whether it's for-profit or a nonprofit organization, having a mentor and unbiased opinion and feedback from experts is critical". Dakota is a higher education professional, classical pianist, and a first-generation college graduate.  As a pianist, she took her first lessons when she was 13 years old at the Watts Towers Art Center Campus. Dakota has performed at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater, Museum of Contemporary Art, and with the Southland Symphony Orchestra. She earned her Associate of Arts in Arts & Humanities from Compton College, Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Public Administration from California Baptist University and Master of Arts in Education Administration from the University of South Dakota.

The SHAPE-ID project (Shaping Interdisciplinary Practices in Europe) is funded by the European Commission to develop recommendations and tools for policy makers, funders, researchers, Universities and others on improving interdisciplinary cooperation between the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and STEMM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) disciplines. Interdisciplinarity in Times of Crisis: Why the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Matter Immediate responses to the COVID-19 crisis have understandably tended to focus on funding research that can fight the virus. At the same time, our world and ways of living have changed suddenly and radically, and there is a widespread sense that we cannot return to the old “normal”. Panellists will discuss why it remains important to take seriously the perspectives coming from Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences research in times of crisis, and how we can work to ensure real collaboration between these and other scientific approaches in understanding the crisis and preparing for the post-crisis world. Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, Principal Investigator of the SHAPE-ID project, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub and Chair of the Irish Research Council, will chair the discussion. Panellists Gabi Lombardo is the Director of the European Alliance for Social Sciences and Humanities (www.eassh.eu), the largest advocacy and science policy organisation for social sciences and humanities in Europe.

Interviewer: MATTHEW BERKMAN. Since its beginnings after the Revolutionary War, refugee policy has helped establish the contours of the U.S. nation-state, argues EVAN TAPARATA, the 2018-2020 Mitchell Center JMC Postdoctoral Fellow (a fellowship supported by the Jack Miller Center for Teaching America’s Founding Principles and History). Taparata’s dissertation, No Asylum for Mankind: The Creation of Refugee Law and Policy in the United States, 1776-1951, won the 2019 Best Dissertation Award in the Arts & Humanities from the University of Minnesota. In his discussion with political scientist Matthew Berkman, Taparata traces the history of refugee policy to the beginnings of the American republic and reveals the ways that it has always been subordinate to national projects that have benefited the U.S. These range from the resettlement of pro-Revolutionary Canadians on land wrested from Native Americans to the rhetorical imperative during the Cold War of presenting America as a humane refuge from the evils of Communism.

HaJ, an Emmy-nominated film, video, media producer and performance artist formerly of the development team of Sony and Ayoka Chenzira, Division Chair of Arts & Humanities, Spelman College, an award-winning, internationally acclaimed film and video artist. A pioneer in Black independent cinema, Chenzira is one of the first African-American women to write, produce and direct a 35mm feature film, "Alma's Rainbow," one of Billboard Magazine's top 40 home video rentals. She is also noted as the first African-American woman animator.Chenzira was invited to serve as the first William and Camille Cosby Endowed Professor in the Arts at Spelman College in 2001, producing a wildly successful multimedia stage version of her screenplay, "Flying Over Purgatory" (starring legendary actress Ruby Dee and featuring a South African cast), which was featured on CNN Headlines/CNN Inside Africa.  Chenzira also received the HBCU Digest's "Female Faculty Member of the Year" award in 2014.This mommy-daughter and writing-directing duo are committed to creating projects that analyze, deconstruct and sometimes satirize racial and social identities.  Simply put, they make us laugh out loud and shake our head about the way black people are portrayed in the media, using the arts as a vehicle. Their current project, FUNNEL CAKE FLOWERS & THE URBAN CHAMELEONS is a multi-media stage show about being black in corporate white America.  The satirical project analyzes how and why people of color still feel the need to put on the mask and police our emotions in front of white people.
