Bethany sat down with Professor Matt Mehan, Associate Dean and Associate Professor of Government at Hillsdale in DC, to discuss his new book, The American Book of Fables, released last month. We have a wide-ranging conversation about the importance of fables, homeschooling as the Founders might have, and the importance of literature for all ages. […]

AI is not just changing how lawyers work. It is changing how lawyers learn. In episode 624 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Zack Glaser talks with April Dawson, Associate Dean of Technology and Innovation and Professor of Law at North Carolina Central University School of Law, about what AI means for legal education, new lawyer training, and the future of law practice.  April explains why law schools can no longer rely on written work alone to measure whether students truly understand the material. As AI becomes embedded in legal writing, research, and drafting tools, new lawyers will need to prove their value in different ways, including verbal explanation, critical thinking, judgment, and the ability to use technology responsibly.  Together, they explore how AI may shrink traditional mentorship opportunities, why new lawyers need to become more self-directed learners, and how legal employers may increasingly expect graduates to arrive with real AI fluency. April also shares why small firm owners should rethink their workflows from beginning to end instead of layering AI on top of inefficient systems.  If you are wondering what the next generation of lawyers needs to know, this episode offers a practical look at how AI is reshaping legal education, law firm training, and the skills lawyers will need to stay valuable.  Listen to our previous episodes on AI Skills New Lawyers Need Now.  #619: What Claude Means for Law Firms: AI Skills, Connectors, and Workflow Strategy, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN  #590: Innovating Without Overwhelm: Practical AI Tips for Lawyers, with Graydon Trusler  Apple | Spotify | LTN   #577: Rethinking Law Firm Growth in the Age of AI, with Sam Harden Apple | Spotify | LTN  #553: AI Tools and Processes Every Lawyer Should Use, with Catherine Sanders Reach Apple | Spotify | LTN  Have thoughts about today's episode?

Episode Topic: Fr. Ted Said: Cultivating HopeIn his inaugural address, University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., called us to be “sustainers of hope and builders of bridges.” But in a world where optimism often feels in short supply, where do we find the inspiration to keep nurturing the good? Plant those seeds through a revitalizing experience where you can pause, exhale, and allow your spirit to blossom. Come hear this calling echo in powerful, personal stories from Notre Dame alumni and faculty who are living examples of what it means to cultivate hope—just like Fr. Ted.Featured Speakers:Dolly Duffy '84, Executive Director, Notre Dame Alumni Association, University of Notre DameMichael Schreffler, Art History Professor, Director of the Notre Dame Arts Initiative, Associate Dean for the Arts, College of Arts and Letters, University of Notre DameMike Brown '01, Former Notre Dame Leprechaun, Speaker, Author, Founder of SoulstirGlynnis Garry Bann, M.D. '11, Assistant Professor, Principal Investigator, Departments of Internal Medicine and Molecular Biology at UT Southwestern Medical CenterJennifer Burke Lefever '98 M.A., '00 Ph.D., Managing Director, Wilma and Peter Veldman Family Psychology Clinic, University of Notre DameRev.

America's 250th birthday is just a few weeks out, and festivities are underway. But, leaving aside disputes about fist fights and daring stunts on the White House South Lawn, a question emerges about what a serious celebration of the American way looks and feels like. To consider this and more, Charles, James, and a visiting Peter Robinson sit down with Matthew Mehan, author and Associate Dean of Hillsdale College's graduate school in Washington, D.C., to discuss The American Book of Fables.The gang thinks through the meaning of our civic inheritance and the endeavor to pass on the baton to the young. Matt's here to remind us that the arduous effort can be joyful and that hopefulness is a trait that marks the serious thinker. Our trio also kvetches (and then some!) over the Iran deal, winces at the newly unveiled Obama Presidential Center, and chortles with bewilderment at the accusation that a Pride-themed baseball cap was "desecrated" by a Bible verse.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ricochet-podcast--5817275/support.

You've been working so hard to be an effective leader, and somehow your team still doesn't see it. This episode shows you exactly why, and how to close the gap before it stalls your career.Margaret Andrews ran the MBA program at MIT Sloan for seven years and is now an Associate Dean at Harvard. She's spent two decades teaching leadership and emotional intelligence to high achievers, and her conclusion is uncomfortable: some of the highest achievers still get stuck in the people management skills even when they have developed the greatest business strategies. In this conversation with Dr. Mira Brancu, Margaret breaks down the S-curve framework that explains why your growth sometimes feels like regression, six questions that build real self-awareness, and an interactive Best Boss Exercise you can do right now. Plus the story of Phil, an executive who looked in the mirror, didn't recognize the leader he had become, and rebuilt himself from scratch.Subscribe for weekly conversations on the intersection of culture, mental health, and the real hard skills of leadership.Find our guest here:Connect with Margaret AndrewsWebsite: https://www.margaretandrews.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaretcandrews/ To find more of my work:Subscribe to this channelSubscribe to my free newsletter at: mailchi.mp/2079c04f4d44/subscribeWork with me one-on-one: calendly.com/mira-brancu/30-minute-initial-consultationConnect with me on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/MiraBrancuLearn more about my services: www.gotowerscope.comGet practical workplace politics tips from my books: gotowerscope.com/booksGet my free Strategic Clarity and Leadership Resilience assessment: https://mailchi.mp/e1ebf8505764/slr-assessment Get my Free Burnout Root Cause Assessment: https://mailchi.mp/29d7d18fae4a/burnout-root-cause-assessmentGet my Workplace Grief Guide: https://mailchi.mp/46873b910380/workplace-grief-field-guide Find other free resources to support your leadership growth: https://gotowerscope.com/other-free-stuff

In this Federalist Society America 250 series, experts analyze modern legal and policy debates through the lens of the Founding generation. The Founders gave us the tools to answer many contemporary questions; join us as we explore those answers.Education today looks radically different than it did at the Founding, but that may be changing. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, this webinar will explore the government's role in education during the Founding era, the subsequent 19th- and early 20th-century developments that upended the Founding-era tradition, and the body of Supreme Court precedent that continues to emerge from that upheaval. Is a return to tradition in the making?Featuring:Michael Bindas, Senior Attorney, Institute for JusticeProf. Nicole Stelle Garnett, John P. Murphy Foundation Professor of Law and Associate Dean for External Engagement, University of Notre Dame Law SchoolProf. Mark Storslee, Associate Professor and C.

MinistryWatch has long been a proponent of what some call the “New Paradigm” of missions. This New Paradigm has several components, but at its core is the notion that well-trained indigenous missionaries are better positioned to evangelize their neighbors than American missionaries who come from thousands of miles away with little knowledge of the language or culture of the people they hope to evangelize. The Institute for Great Commission Research (IGCR) at California Baptist University recently released “Missional Imagination: How the Next Generation Understands Missions.” Among the “top line” findings of this landmark study is this: “Supporting local Christians in their context is seen as the most trusted model of missions.” The study continued, “This preference reflects a strong concern for cultural legitimacy, partnership, and long-term witness, and signals a shift away from models centered on external control, short-term intervention, or visibility.” The man who led that study is my guest today. Dr. Matthew Niermann serves as Professor of Architecture and Associate Dean of the College of Architecture, Visual Arts & Design at California Baptist University.  Niermann serves as a director of the Lausanne Movement and editor of the State of the Great Commission Report prepared for the 4th Global Congress in Seoul, Korea in 2024. Niermann holds a Ph.D. in Architectural Design from the University of Michigan, M.A. Apologetics from BIOLA, M.A. Theology and Th.M. of Missiology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.  

The legal profession has long been defined as a high-performance environment characterized by competition and long hours. While dedication and hard work remain hallmarks of successful lawyers, there is a growing recognition of the tension between these professional demands and attorney mental health.

What did you think of this episode ?Welcome to Season 7 Episode 1 in conversation with Professor Tait Shanafelt, Chief Wellness Officer, Associate Dean, and the Jeanie & Stewart Ritchie Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, and Director of the Stanford WellMD & WellPhD Center.Across more than two decades and several hundred peer-reviewed papers, Tait's work has fundamentally reshaped how medicine understands itself,  shifting the conversation from “fix the doctor” to “fix the system.” His papers have been referenced in more episodes of this podcast, and more generally, than any other voice in the field. We begin with the conceptual shift that transitioned physician wellbeing from a personal and individual problem to an organisational responsibility referencing 2017 Nine Organizational Strategies paper. Post-pandemic The Wellbeing 2.0 paper reflected on where we have been, where we are and where we are headed.With this frame in mind we discuss the update in research, thinking and practice through the published 2025 Ten Principles to Advance Occupational Well-being paper, This article provides an organisation-facing guidebook for leaders that concentrates decades of evidence into ten foundational principles. There is a deliberate language shift from physician wellbeing to occupational wellbeing across the whole healthcare workforce. We zoom in from the strategic-systems lens to the practical work of unit-level leadership, evidence-informed tactics, and the day-to-day realities of work-life integration.We close on the  five-part Career Life Cycle series, published this year, that charts the influences on wellbeing across the arc of a career, from residency and fellowship through early, mid, and late career into retirement. There are unique challenges at each stage but across the whole arc, the fundamental drivers of wellbeing are similar: autonomy, meaning, community, connection. Along the way, we discuss the iteration and evolution of the Chief Wellness Officer and Wellbeing Director courses out of Stanford WellMD  pathways into this work that have shaped and continue to advance a generation of leaders globally. ReferencesThe 2025 paper at the centre of the conversationShanafelt T, Trockel M, Stolz S, Murphy D, Bohman B.

How can institutions define and measure belonging? What are inspirational examples of programs, spaces, and support services that foster it? How is student belonging changing, and how can folks adapt? In a LinkedIn Live Webinar, Elliot Felix talked through these questions with Suzanne Rivera the President at Macalester College, Jeff Doyle the Executive Director of Student Support at UT Austin, and James Vasquez the Associate Dean of Operations and Strategy at the USC Annenberg School. They share different perspectives along with the programs and places they've used to foster belonging and drive student success – from environments to athletics to communications and more. Episode Highlights include: [5:47] The Book's Big Ideas - Host Elliot Felix defines student belonging using research proving that connected first-year students are 41% more likely to be retained into year two. [8:18] The Power of One Question - Jeff Doyle shares how asking students if they feel like they belong is five times more predictive of retention than 100 other variables. [15:06] Spaces Built for Synergy - James Vasquez explains how USC Annenberg used cross-collaborative stakeholder workshops to design a highly utilized, multi-departmental campus facility. [19:11] Mapping the Student Journey - President Suzanne Rivera details how Macalester College used student heat maps to transform their main administrative building into a student-facing hub. [44:31] Human Connections Over Bots - The panel analyzes why automated AI chatbots are short-term fixes, advocating instead for peer-to-peer leadership and scaling high-touch human relationships.

Show Notes: Ian McNeely talks about his academic path, including a PhD in History from the University of Michigan and a position in the Society of Fellows at Harvard. He met his wife at Harvard, and they both found work at the University of Oregon where they became professors. They raised a family and lived there for 24 years. In 2024, Ian moved to UNC Chapel Hill, where he continues as a professor of history and oversees undergraduate education.  The Society of Fellows When asked about the Society of Fellows,  Ian explains that he thought of it as a mystique during his undergraduate years. The Society was conceived in the 1930s as an alternative to the PhD, offering young men (later women) a three-year fellowship with no academic requirements. Ian attended lavish dinners and lunches with other fellows, including senior fellows from Harvard faculty. He met his wife at the Society, and the fellowship allowed him to convert his dissertation into a book, which was crucial for his tenure. Exploring  the History of Knowledge Ian explains how he and his wife co-wrote a book on the history of knowledge, covering various institutions like libraries, monasteries, and universities. He describes the different definitions of knowledge across these institutions, from written debates in libraries to scientific experiments in laboratories. Ian emphasizes the importance of institutions in defining what counts as knowledge. He discusses the role of vernacular knowledge and how it has been institutionalized over time. A Fellow's Activities Ian talks about his activities as a fellow. He describes his monastic approach, focusing on conversations with people outside his field. Ian interacted with particle physicists, art historians, and other disciplines, which broadened his perspective. He bonded with his wife, who is a medieval historian, over their mutual disdain for the Renaissance. Ian values the diverse group of equals in the Society of Fellows and the opportunity to explore various aspects of knowledge. The Politicization of Higher Education The conversation turns to Ian's current role as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education at UNC Chapel Hill. He discusses the politicization of higher education and the challenges of the proliferation of knowledge. Ian emphasizes the importance of helping students diversify their intellectual portfolios to hedge against unpredictability, and he expresses optimism that AI will be a force multiplier rather than a replacement for human judgment and expertise. The Impact of AI on Undergraduate Education Ian believes AI will not replace human judgment but will be a force multiplier for routine tasks. He stresses the importance of communication skills, teamwork, ethical judgment, and aesthetic judgment in the face of AI. Ian advises students to use AI as a refinement tool after doing cognitive heavy lifting themselves. He emphasizes the importance of preserving curiosity-driven knowledge alongside applied knowledge, and he states  that rote-type learning will not be needed while high-level skills will be sought by employers.  The Changing Definition of Knowledge  Ian explains that, over the past two decades,  the shift towards justifying knowledge in economic or scientific terms, especially in the United States. He talks about the value of interpretation and judgement, and how he is concerned that students are losing the ability to do the cognitive heavy lifting of assessing research and determining the gaps in information. Ian's administrative career reflects his efforts to balance these two aspects of knowledge. Ian advises students to use AI as a refinement tool after doing their own cognitive heavy lifting, but he stresses the importance of taking time in nature to write by hand and give the mind time to think.  The Meeting of Medieval and Modern History Ian talks about the difference between his wife's studies in medieval history  to his own. Creative thinking plays a role in the study of medieval history where there are gaps in knowledge and errors of interpretation; this contrasts with Ian's field of study which drew research from  a high level of bureaucracy. He explains why he structured their book, Reinventing Knowledge,  to combat information overload. Ian shares his experience of empowering others in his professional life and giving up the desire to control outcomes. Ian also reflects on the importance of humility and the value of learning a new language to gain a deeper understanding of other cultures. Harvard Reflections Ian mentions Math 25 with Mark McConnell, which taught him rigorous thinking and precision, and he highlights a course on European Political development 1850 to 1950 by Peter Baldwin, which inspired him to become a European historian. Ian states that he  values the bridge between the arts and sciences provided by these courses.

Headlines warned us about microplastics in our brains. A chemist says the study may have been measuring brain fat instead. In 2025, a study claiming microplastics accumulate in human brain tissue dominated our feeds. We covered it. Then Dr. Michelle Wong, a chemical scientist and science communicator, flagged a problem with the methodology. So we went to the primary literature, read the critique, and brought in one of the first scientists to publicly challenge the findings: Dr. Oliver Jones, Professor of Analytical Chemistry at RMIT University in Melbourne. In this episode, we unpack what went wrong with the measurement method, what it means for the broader microplastics conversation, and why being willing to say "I was wrong" is so vital for good science. In this episode: How pyrolysis GC-MS works and why it can confuse plastic breakdown products with brain fat Why potassium hydroxide digestion creates soap, which also mimics plastic signatures The contamination problem: body bags, centrifuge tubes, plastic storage containers, and lab air Why 7 grams of microplastic per brain is more than what researchers find in raw sewage The Marfella study in The New England Journal of Medicine: microplastics in arterial plaques and why it also lacked blank controls How microplastics could enter the body: skin absorption, ingestion, and inhalation Why PM2.5 monitoring already captures the most relevant airborne microplastic exposure What the WHO, FDA, and European Food Safety Authority have concluded about microplastic harm What better microplastics research would actually look like Why the real lesson is about how we evaluate headlines, not just microplastics Dr. Oliver Jones is Professor of Analytical Chemistry and Associate Dean of Biosciences and Food Technology at RMIT University in Melbourne. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (FRACI), he holds degrees from Imperial College London and Cambridge. He is one of only 118 scientists worldwide named to the IUPAC Periodic Table of Outstanding Younger Chemists. His research focuses on developing methods to measure environmental contaminants, including microplastics, and he was among the first scientists to publicly challenge the methodology of the viral "microplastics in the brain" study.

Healing begins long before a diagnosis, it starts with feeling seen, heard, and cared for. Pediatrician, mentor, and health equity advocate Dr. Tyler Smith shares a heartfelt conversation about caring for children, supporting families, and leading with purpose. From discovering her passion for pediatrics at a young age to mentoring the next generation of healthcare leaders, Dr. Tyler reflects the importance of representation, mental health, community, and whole-person care. This episode is a reminder that healing goes beyond medicine. It begins with listening, compassion, advocacy, and creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and valued.  Key Takeaways:   Your "why" helps you stay grounded, prevent burnout, and reconnect with purpose.   Healthy children thrive when families, communities, and healthcare providers work together.   Mental health conversations should begin with listening, validating, and checking in consistently.  Representation and advocacy in healthcare matter for trust, safety, and better outcomes.   Small moments of connection, joy, and mentorship can create generational impact.   We couldn't highlight incredible stories like this without the support of our sponsor, CommunityAmerica Credit Union. Thank you for helping us promote connection, well-being, and stronger communities.

How could the second-largest school district in the nation believe its decision to ban screens was right when so many educators adamantly believe it's wrong? How are school boards and educators looking at the same research and arriving at different conclusions?

But what does this mean for our students and their educational experience? In this conversation, we'll unravel the rationale, the existing research on technology use in education, and how we can approach technology to enhance learning rather than hinder it.

Members of marginalized communities are often told to be "resilient," but how do you bounce back when the system itself is the weight on your shoulders? When policy is the source of the trauma, the burden of healing shouldn't rest solely on the individual. Joining us for this episode is a powerhouse in the field of psychology: the President of the American Psychological Association, Dr. Debra M. Kawahara. In this unflinching conversation, we dismantle the myth of individual resiliency and confront the systemic forces shaping our mental well-being. From the healthy paranoia required for survival in marginalized communities to the traumatizing optics of immigration enforcement, we explore how sociopolitical climates act as a direct catalyst for mental health crises. Listeners will learn: why focusing solely on individual grit can lead to victim-blaming and ignoring systemic failures how society takes psychological comfort in believing people “deserve” their circumstances why viewing healthcare and education as human rights is the first step toward equity If you've ever felt like anxiety is a rational response to an irrational world, this exploration of systemic inequity and the fight for collective wellness is for you. Learn how to stay in the fight without letting the weight of the world knock you out. "Don't get knocked out because we need you." ~Dr. Debra M. Kawahara, President of the American Psychological Association Debra M. Kawahara, Ph.D., is a psychologist, scholar, and advocate for justice and mental health resource accessibility. As the 2025 President of the American Psychological Association and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Alliant University, she leads with vision and heart — shaping psychology's future through cultural humility, intersectional insight, and systemic care. Her work spans over 20 academic programs across six campuses and online, and her scholarship bridges feminist theory, Buddhist psychotherapy, Asian American mental health, and leadership grounded in equity. Internationally published and recognized, Debra brings both academic excellence and therapeutic wisdom to her teaching, speaking, and clinical practice — where she works with individuals, couples, families, and organizations in cultivating resilience and meaningful change.

Via libera della Commissione Ue alla nona rata del Pnrr dell’Italia, pari a 12,8 miliardi di euro. Bruxelles ha valutato positivamente la richiesta di pagamento, constatando il completamento soddisfacente di tutti i 16 traguardi e 34 obiettivi previsti dalla decisione del Consiglio nell’ambito del dispositivo per la ripresa e la resilienza, cuore del NextGenerationEU. Ora la valutazione preliminare passa al Comitato economico e finanziario del Consiglio, che avrà quattro settimane per esprimere il proprio parere prima della decisione finale della Commissione. Palazzo Chigi sottolinea che il pagamento porterà a 166 miliardi di euro il totale delle risorse ricevute dall’Italia, confermando il pieno raggiungimento degli obiettivi programmati. Giorgia Meloni parla di consolidamento del “primato europeo” dell’Italia nell’attuazione del Pnrr, con 416 traguardi e obiettivi raggiunti tra riforme e investimenti strategici. Tra i risultati evidenziati: supporto educativo a oltre 800mila studenti a rischio dispersione, interventi socioeducativi per 44mila minori nel Mezzogiorno, digitalizzazione di 7,75 milioni di fascicoli giudiziari, Fascicolo sanitario elettronico attivo per l’85% dei medici di base, ammodernamento tecnologico di 280 strutture sanitarie, rinnovo della flotta dei Vigili del fuoco con oltre 3.800 veicoli ecologici, riduzione delle perdite idriche su 45mila km di reti e attuazione del programma GOL con 3 milioni di beneficiari.Facciamo il punto con Carlo Altomonte, Associate Dean e Direttore PNRR Lab, SDA Bocconi, e membro CD Fondazione M&M.La Cina minaccia l'UE se il piano "Made in Europe" verrà adottatoLa Cina avverte Bruxelles sul piano “Made in Europe” e minaccia contromisure se il testo dovesse essere approvato. Secondo il ministero del Commercio cinese, la nuova legge europea sull’accelerazione industriale introdurrebbe una “discriminazione sistemica” contro le imprese cinesi. Il piano, presentato dalla Commissione Ue e ora all’esame di Parlamento europeo e Stati membri, prevede quote minime di componenti critici di origine europea per accedere ai fondi pubblici nei settori strategici, tra cui automotive, tecnologie energetiche low carbon, industria pesante e acciaio. Bruxelles difende il provvedimento sostenendo che le misure siano coerenti con gli obblighi internazionali e con le regole dell’Organizzazione mondiale del commercio. Da anni molte imprese europee denunciano una concorrenza sleale da parte delle aziende cinesi, soprattutto nei veicoli elettrici, nel fotovoltaico e nelle materie prime, favorita da forti sussidi statali e da sovrapproduzione capace di comprimere i prezzi. Pechino considera invece il piano un intervento politico che altera i principi della concorrenza internazionale. Tra le possibili ritorsioni evocati i settori delle terre rare, dell’automotive, dell’aerospazio e degli appalti pubblici, con il rischio di penalizzazioni per le imprese europee nei grandi progetti infrastrutturali e tecnologici cinesi. Ne parliamo con Giuliano Noci - Professore ordinario in Ingegneria Economico-Gestionale, insegna Strategia & Marketing presso il Politecnico di Milano. Dal 2011 è Prorettore del Polo cinese del Politecnico.Via libera al dl Lavoro. Debutta il "salario giusto"Via libera del Consiglio dei ministri al nuovo decreto Lavoro varato in vista del Primo maggio. Tra i pilastri del provvedimento: ruolo rafforzato dei contratti collettivi attraverso il principio del “salario giusto”, incentivi alla stabilizzazione dei contratti degli under 35 e delle donne disoccupate e nuove regole per il lavoro mediato dalle piattaforme digitali. Giorgia Meloni ha rivendicato la scelta di non concedere incentivi pubblici “a chi sottoscrive contratti pirata e sottopaga i lavoratori”, difendendo il modello italiano fondato sulla “contrattazione di qualità”. Il decreto prevede un nuovo incentivo per la trasformazione dei contratti a termine in rapporti stabili: esonero contributivo del 100% per 24 mesi fino a 500 euro mensili per giovani under 35 mai occupati a tempo indeterminato, per trasformazioni effettuate tra agosto e dicembre 2026.

Episode 83 Section 230 at 30: Can the Law That Built the Internet Survive? For 30 years, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act gave online platforms broad immunity from liability for user-generated content. But that shield is now full of holes and cracking in every direction. In this episode, host Matt Adams and Eric Goldman, Associate Dean for Research at Santa Clara University School of Law and a leading internet law scholar, break down Section 230's core doctrine, its statutory carve-outs and the creative legal theories plaintiffs are using to get around it. They examine why federal prosecutors can pursue criminal cases against platforms, while state attorneys general have been sidelined, even as they push for reform. They also explore Section 230's applicability to generative AI and whether the Supreme Court might ultimately weigh in on the statute. You won't want to miss this thought-provoking conversation, including a discussion on whether we've already passed the peak of free speech online and if Section 230 reform is just the canary in the coal mine.

A Critical Look at Information Science and Librarianship in a New Age: Constellation of Insanity (Emerald, 2026) fosters a platform for information scientists to engage in reflection and contemplation regarding the profound questions of our era. By drawing insights from pioneers in the field whose contributions were once marginalized or, in some instances, overlooked within the realm of information science, chapter authors strive to re/center the field's focal point. Chapter authors draw from a diverse array of frameworks including critical theory, deconstruction, queer theory, borderlands, among others. What sets this book apart is its direct confrontation of the status quo and aggressively re/claims intellectual space for “others”. This is the only book to critique the entire discipline of Information Science from as many angles as possible in one volume and as far outside of the traditional organizations.

In this bonus episode recorded live at the Collegis Education DisruptED summit in Phoenix, we spoke with Nathan Grawe from Carleton College about the realities behind higher education's enrollment decline and the looming demographic “cliff.” They explore how shifting birth rates and declining enrollment trends are creating real challenges—especially for tuition-dependent institutions—while also highlighting how retention, student experience, and institutional strategy play a critical role in long-term sustainability.  The conversation emphasizes that there's no single solution, but institutions that listen to students, adapt their culture, and stay aligned with their mission are better positioned to navigate change. Ultimately, it's a call for leaders to approach this moment with urgency, empathy, and a renewed focus on serving students effectively.

For the second time in 12 years Glasgow is preparing to host the Commonwealth Games after Australia's Victoria state pulled out because of increased costs. Victoria's withdrawal raised questions about whether the 2026 games would go ahead before Glasgow agreed to step in. Staging a sporting mega-event is expensive and governments face increasing scrutiny over public spending. Victoria's decision raised wider questions about affordability for potential hosts. At the same time, critics question the Games' political relevance, given its origins in Britain's colonial past.The Commonwealth Games Federation says the event can be delivered in a more sustainable way and argues that it brings cultural and economic benefits to host cities, but recent editions have run into significant costs and budget pressures.This week on The Inquiry, Tanya Beckett asks ‘Is it time to scrap the Commonwealth Games?'ContributorsDr Stuart Whigham, Senior Lecturer in Sport, Coaching and Physical Education at Oxford Brookes University, UKDr Matthew McDowell, Lecturer in Sport Policy, Management, and International Development at the University of Edinburgh, UK Dr Verity Postlethwaite, Lecturer in Strategic Event Management at Loughborough University, UKProfessor Gayle McPherson, Associate Dean for Research at the University of the West of Scotland, and Director of Legacy and Community Engagement for Commonwealth Games Scotland, UKPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researcher: Evie Yabsley Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Editor: Tom Bigwood Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Commonwealth Games Gold Medal.
