Podcasts about assistant professorship

The inspiration for this end-of-year impromptu gathering came from a recent flurry of ‘Collapse'-inspired exchanges in my (un)social media feeds! This was prompted largely by Ginie Servant Miklos' recently published and brilliant book, Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for The End of The World as We Know It (quoted in the title of the episode) and Will Richardson's equally provocative and inspiring, Confronting Education In a Time of Complexity, Chaos and Collapse. As regular listeners will know, this podcast is really focused on the need for radical and systemic change in ways that would be more loving, humanising, nourishing…, not just in education, but in all spheres of our lives. But seeing all of this Collapse chat, the question I was left with was something about the ‘how' of inviting people towards this change. It made me think of this powerful quote from Adam Curtis: "We've retreated into a sense that there's always a new apocalypse on the horizon; it's a terrible teddy bear that the bourgeois greens hug to themselves and say, “We're all going to die, it's terrible.” That's not the way you change the world. In fact, it frightens people, and when people are frightened they don't want change. It's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Of course, there are serious issues. And of course, they're incredibly dangerous. But fear is the last resort of those who've failed to mobilise people to transform the world for the better. I get grumpy about this because it's almost cowardly.” (https://crackmagazine.net/article/profiles/adam-curtis-nathalie-olah-interview/) So Manda Scott, Raïsa Mirza, Will Richardson, Ginie Servant-Miklos and I gathered yesterday to talk about all of this and more! Brief bios below, but you can find full show notes here: https://www.goodimpactlabs.com/podcast/a-hopeful-education Manda Scott - https://mandascott.co.uk/ ; https://www.linkedin.com/in/mandascottauthor/  Manda was once a veterinary surgeon and is now an award-winning novelist, smallholder, contemporary shamanic trainer and podcaster (https://accidentalgods.life). 2024 saw the publication of her sixteenth novel, Any Human Power, a ‘visionary' contemporary political thriller that maps fictional – but plausible and workable – routes toward a future we'd all be proud to leave to the generations that come after us: human and more-than-human. Raïsa Mirza - https://raisamirza.com/ ; https://www.linkedin.com/in/raisamirza/  Raïsa is a Bangladeshi-Canadian photographer, educator, designer, facilitator and social entrepreneur.

This week on the podcast we spoke with Drs. Rutger Engels and Ginie Servant-Miklos, who recently staged the "Bildung Climate School," a part-type summer pilot program in Rotterdam, the Netherlands that draws inspiration from the model of the Danish folk high school as described by Lene Rachel Andersen in The Nordic Secret as well as from the microcolleges in the United States. Carefully structured from a research perspective to test pedagogical strategies and program impacts for future prototypes and initiatives, the Bildung Climate School brought together students from differing tracks of the Netherlands' highly stratified post-secondary education system for 2 hours per day for 9 weeks during the summer of 2024. The program they experienced put into practice elements of what Ginie calls "the pedagogies of collapse," combining a frank examination of the sobering ecological and economic challenges facing humanity with embodied artistic and social practices and techniques for working through anxiety, building community, and even having fun.Ginie Servant-Miklos is an engaged environmental educator with fifteen years of experience in education practice, research, and advocacy. She currently holds an Assistant Professorship in behavioural sciences at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her research and education work focuses on developing innovative pedagogies for societal impact.

In the last decades, he has coordinated programs aiming to design, test, and ship (technology-enabled) interventions for mental health, addictions, resiliency, and personal growth.

We discuss Ginie Servant-Miklos' new book Pedagogies of Collapse. This urgent, and radically honest, open access book looks collapse in the face, acknowledges the temptation for denial and despair, but chooses hope. Pedagogies of Collapse makes a dire, fact-packed case for the urgency of action, but resists the urge to fall into the usual categories of environmental discourses. The ebook version will be available as open access.

We began by exploring whether we're just using generative AI because it's the shiny new thing. We quickly agreed that Gen AI is definitely a massive time saver. But how much time did we each have to invest in learning, setting up, and tweaking generative AI tools to start seeing significant time savings? We discovered that the time ranged from less than 15 minutes to many, many hours, depending on how you approach the technology.

Thavius Beck's story started in Minneapolis and led him to California, into the Golden age of Los Angeles' underground Hip-Hop culture through legendary venues like The Good Life, Project Blowed and Low End Theory. Emerging as a respected producer, emcee and electronic music performer, Thavius continued to walk the road laid out for him by his creativity, following it to Brooklyn and a new role as a teacher, now professor at the prestigious Berklee NYC campus. In honor of the release of his latest album, Untitled: Volume 1, we spoke with Thavius about his journey through music, the similarities between electronic composition and time travel, and the beauties of creating when there's nothing left to prove.Read more about Thavius Beck in Issue No. 14 of AphroChic magazine.

It's fascinating; this is the first back-to-school season in the age of generative artificial intelligence -- historic. A middle school teacher, a university professor, an early childhood educator-tech coach, and an education researcher met to exchange notes on how they prepared to engage students this term. It's a highly engaged conversation among colleagues, sharing discoveries, aha moments, mistakes made with generative artificial intelligence, and lessons learned. It ends with a lightning round of  AI tools the group found helpful and effective.

College and university leaders can recover from the drop in international enrollment brought on by the pandemic and federal policies by establishing cost-effective overseas branch campuses in the Middle East and other areas. Although many other countries compete in this market, an increasing number of international students who can't travel to the US would like to attend the same prestigious institutions at home.   In his latest podcast episode, Dr. Drumm McNaughton talks with Dr. Olgun Cicek about how higher ed presidents and boards can provide their services abroad quicker, easier, and more effectively at minimum cost and effort. In addition, Cicek discusses how successful branch campuses must function, what to consider when choosing the right location and creating curricula, how much language plays a factor in the decision–making process, why cultural sensitivity training is crucial for faculty and administrative staff, and why to avoid online learning except for certifications and micro-credentials.   Highlights   Colleges and universities must ensure that their international branch campuses provide the same quality of services beyond the institution's name, including the faculty, curriculum, qualifications, credentials, and reputation. These branches must receive two layers of accreditation, one that matches the U.S. campus and a second that aligns with the country where the branch is located. In addition, these branches must gain approval from the local authorities there.   After choosing the city to build the branch campus, student accessibility must be considered. The campus should also be in an area that seamlessly facilitates collaborations with various community organizations for research and development, internships, industry partnerships, and speaker events.   If the campus is located in an area where English is not a major language, an environment must be created where international students can feel comfortable communicating with each other and with fluent faculty and staff. Since locals appreciate it when foreigners know at least a few words, students and faculty should take extra courses or certifications before arriving. Language courses for international students and faculty members should also be available at branch campuses so faculty, staff, and students can truly interact with and understand the local culture and context.   Faculty and staff must adhere to local cultural sensitivities, rules, and expectations of the people. There are usually orientations for international faculty members and administrative staff to become familiarized with the local contacts, culture, and sensitivities. This includes understanding and appreciating spoken and nonverbal language, such as gestures and body language. Therefore, everything that a faculty or administrator plans to share with students should be screened and carefully chosen. There have been instances where branches have had to fire faculty mid-semester for offending students.   Gaining full awareness of cultural sensitivities on subjects, including gender, can impact curricula. Examples in textbooks, syllabi, notes, speeches, and recorded videos must be vetted. Some cultures also prefer not to be filmed, which can complicate online learning and collaboration.   Certain countries, including the Middle East and Türkiye, don't recommend, accept, recognize, or respect online learning. So online degrees should be avoided at all costs. Moreover, students who receive online degrees don't get the same opportunities as those who receive a traditional education. Online certificates and micro-credentials are possible, however. Part of the problem is that online education doesn't fit into the European Qualifications Framework and won't gain official recognition.    Read the transcript →    About Our Podcast Guest Dr. Olgun Cicek After completing his postgraduate education at the University of Surrey in the UK, he worked as an Instructor at Dokuz Eylül University, Faculty of Business Administration, in 1992.

On this episode of The Pursuit of Health Podcast we dive further into the realm of public health by pausing to learn about the invaluable role of the Physician Assistant.  We are fortunate to have a frontline clinician, educator and pioneer, Joseph M. Daleo, as our guest to take us through this topic. Major Daleo is an active member of the US Army Reserve and holds a Doctorate Degree of Physician Assistant Studies from Touro University. He wears many honorable hats including an Assistant Professorship and the Directorship of Clinical Operations at NY Touro College's Physician Assistant Program.  He is a Clinical Instructor for SUNY Stony Brook's Family Medicine and Nurse Practitioner Program as well as the Supervising Physician Assistant for the American Family Care's Covid-19 Mitigation and Vaccination Program.  Major Daleo begins our discussion by taking us through his often bumpy personal journey to pursue a health career as a practicing Physician Assistant and educator. In so doing, he emphasizes that Physician Assistants are a vital and unique profession within the US healthcare system. He explains the honorable history of the Physician Assistant profession in the US and marvels at the exponential growth of this field both domestically and globally over the past few decades. Our guest sheds some very important light on the misconceptions about the Physician Assistant model, stressing that this model supports a complementary, not adversarial, interaction of healthcare professionals on behalf of the patient. He provides us with a sobering reminder of the serious gaps and failures of our current system and provides much needed recommendations to make healthcare partnerships stronger to address the disparities of acute and chronic disease.  He sees physician assistants as one of the critical  “force multipliers” of a potentially robust approach to healthcare reform.  We finish our fascinating discussion with Major Daleo wisely advising us all to continue to adopt the pioneer spirit that made our health system exceptional in the first place.  He urges us to remain open-minded so that we may learn and apply new preventative and treatment modalities to the benefit of our patients, clinicians and society.  Dr. Fethke and the team at The Pursuit of Health Podcast  look forward to our audience's feedback. We can be reached @drfethkemd on Facebook and Instagram, and our upcoming website - drfethkemd.com.  References:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236248847_Origins_of_the_physician_assistant_movement_in_the_United_Stateshttps://pahx.org/timeline/https://www.healthleadersmedia.com/clinical-care/why-physician-assistants-and-nurse-practitioners-need-supervision-say-physician-groupshttps://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/01/stop-the-war-on-pas-and-nps.htmlhttps://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/physician-assistants-and-their-role-primary-care/2012-05https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physician-assistants.htmhttps://bemoacademicconsulting.com/blog/pa-vs-md

This term many of us will walk into classrooms where we will be expected to teach students who have the most diverse academic and social-emotional needs in recent history. The need for more individualized teaching has moved from desirable to critical this school year. So what practical teaching strategies can we use to meet each of our students where they are? In this episode, we talk with four teachers who have deep experience with differentiating instruction in classrooms with 20, 30 kids, or more.

Part of the Probability for Machine Learning seminar series. Presented by Prof Lester Mackey (Microsoft Research New England and Stanford University). Abstract: Stein’s method is a powerful tool from probability theory for bounding the distance between probability distributions. In this talk, I’ll describe how this tool designed to prove central limit theorems can be adapted to assess and improve the quality of practical inference procedures. I’ll highlight applications to Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler selection, goodness-of-fit testing, variational inference, and nonconvex optimization and close with several opportunities for future work. Lester Mackey (https://web.stanford.edu/~lmackey/) received his PhD from UC Berkeley under the supervision of Michael Jordan. Between 2013 and 2016 he held an Assistant Professorship at Stanford University and is now a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research and an adjunct professor at Stanford. His work on measuring MCMC sample quality with Stein’s method from 2015 is considered foundational for the field of Stein’s method in ML and opened the door to countless other publications in this area. His own contribution in the field has been immense - he has published articles covering various applications of Stein’s method in ML, including to problems related to computational statistics and statistical testing.

Back to school is taking on a new meaning in the COVID-19 era. The question school leaders, medical professionals, and political leaders are asking is when? When is the right time? There is no consensus and we’ve seen no evidence that teachers are involved in the deliberations. So we decided to ask our group of teachers for their take.

In this segment, Dr. Ruwart explains how the FDA really works, why regulation is failing us, and why lack of consumer choice is preventing life-saving drugs from reaching people who need them.  She also addresses abuse of power by governments and how countries export aggression and invite contempt and conflict.
