We've all been there—juggling new tech, new expectations, and wondering if our students are really learning what matters. In this chat, we talk about “pedagogical debt” (the gap between what we know works in teaching and what we actually do), how AI is shaking things up, and why the right kind of curiosity can help. At its heart, it's a conversation about making sure technology serves learning—not the other way around.

Nel terzo trimestre 2025 il Pil italiano, corretto per gli effetti di calendario, è rimasto invariato rispetto al trimestre precedente e in crescita dello 0,4% su base annua, secondo le stime preliminari dell'Istat. Dopo il -0,1% del secondo trimestre e il +0,3% del primo, la crescita zero non modifica la stima acquisita per l'anno, pari allo 0,5%, in linea con le previsioni del governo. L'aumento del valore aggiunto nell'agricoltura è stato compensato dal calo dell'industria e dalla stabilità dei servizi. Dal lato della domanda, contributo negativo della componente interna e positivo di quella estera netta. Affrontiamo il tema con Carlo Altomonte, Associate Dean e Direttore PNRR Lab, SDA Bocconi, e membro CD Fondazione M&MLa Bce lascia i tassi fermi al 2%, come da atteseLa Bce, riunita a Firenze, ha mantenuto invariati i tassi: 2% sui depositi, 2,15% sui rifinanziamenti principali e 2,40% sui prestiti marginali. L'inflazione resta vicina al target del 2% e le prospettive restano stabili, sebbene il contesto globale resti incerto per le tensioni geopolitiche e commerciali. Lagarde ha sottolineato che l'economia continua a mostrare resilienza grazie al mercato del lavoro e alla solidità dei bilanci privati. La crescita dello 0,2% nell'area euro nel terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente sopra le attese. La presidente ha inoltre annunciato l'avvio della nuova fase dell'euro digitale, che garantirà privacy, sicurezza e competitività nei pagamenti. Il commento è affidato a Donato Masciandaro, docente politiche monetarie Università BocconiBorse Ue restano in rosso dopo nulla di fatto Bce. A Wall Street giù Meta e MicrosoftI listini europei chiudono in calo dopo la decisione della Bce di lasciare i tassi invariati e in una settimana intensa per le trimestrali e le banche centrali globali. A Wall Street pesano le vendite su Meta (-11,8%) e Microsoft, penalizzate dalle previsioni di maggiori investimenti in IA, mentre Alphabet sale grazie ai ricavi pubblicitari. In Europa, la crescita del Pil del terzo trimestre è risultata leggermente superiore alle attese (+0,2% nell'eurozona, +0,3% nell'Ue), trainata da Francia e Spagna. A Piazza Affari bene Campari e Tenaris, male Prysmian e Stellantis (-10,1%), colpita dai dubbi sul futuro outlook e dalle incertezze legate alla crisi dei semiconduttori. Affrontiamo il tema con Martina Soligo, RadiocorVertice Usa-Cina, Trump: «Taglio ai dazi e accordo sulle terre rare»Donald Trump e Xi Jinping si sono incontrati a Busan raggiungendo un accordo per dimezzare i dazi statunitensi sui prodotti cinesi e rilanciare le esportazioni di soia americana, terre rare e controlli sul fentanyl. Trump ha inoltre annunciato la ripresa dei test sulle armi nucleari, sostenendo di voler mantenere il primato militare Usa. Pechino sospenderà per un anno i limiti all'export di alcune terre rare, sebbene restino in vigore restrizioni introdotte in aprile. L'intesa avrà ripercussioni dirette sull'Unione Europea, come sottolineato dal commissario Ue al Commercio Maros Sefcovic. Ne parliamo con Marco Masciaga, Il Sole 24 Ore, New Delhi

JoshiIn this episode, Jack and Rajiv mindfully explore:Guided meditation: A journey into becoming the Tree of Enlightenment—rooted, steady, and open to the sky. Jack and Prof. Rajiv invite us to feel the deep stillness and sacred presence of the trees, reminding us that awakening is a natural unfolding within the web of life.Buddha and trees: The Buddha's life was interwoven with trees—born beneath one, meditating and awakening beneath another, and passing away surrounded by their quiet grace. Trees mirror the path of the awakened heart: grounded in the Earth, reaching toward the light.Trees as ancestors: They are our elders, silent teachers who breathe life into the world. Through their patience and generosity, they remind us of what it means to listen, to endure, and to belong.Collective healing: Our awakening is not only personal—it is collective. Through love across generations, we can heal the planet and one another, planting seeds of compassion that will grow long after us.Radical compassion: To live with an open heart requires both tenderness and courage. We learn to trust, to build bridges, to speak truth, and to act for justice with mindfulness and care.System change: True transformation begins within and extends outward. Each of us has a role to play in creating a world rooted in awareness, kindness, and right action.Spiritual community: Sangha becomes the living ground for our practice—a space to learn, to stumble, to grow, and to embody a new way of being together.Rajiv's story: After his accident, Rajiv discovered that spirituality is not apart from life—it is life.

A live discussion with Sanya Carley and David Konisky, authors of the new book Power Lines, on the inequities that define America’s energy system—and how they could carry into the clean energy future if left unacknowledged. --- In this special live episode of Energy Policy Now, recorded before an audience during Climate Week at the University of Pennsylvania, guests Sanya Carley and David Konisky discuss their new book Power Lines: The Human Costs of American Energy in Transition. The book explores how America’s energy system both reflects and reinforces deep social and economic divides, and why a cleaner grid won’t automatically lead to a fairer one. Drawing on a decade of research and stories from communities on the front lines of the energy transition, Carley and Konisky show that before the nation can make progress toward energy justice, it must first recognize the people and places most affected by the inequities built into the system. Power Lines explores how those inequities shape lives and communities across the United States. Sanya Carley is the Mark Alan Hughes Faculty Director of the Kleinman Center and Presidential Distinguished Professor of Energy Policy and City Planning at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design. David Konisky is the Associate Dean for Research and a Lynton K. Caldwell Professor at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. Together, they co-direct the Energy Justice Lab. Recorded live at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy during Penn’s Climate Week.

This episode of CAA Conversations, featuring Lilia Cabrera, Gina Gwen, and Christen S. García, considers borderlands-informed art pedagogies as acts of classroom, community, and artist practice, in both formal and informal spaces of art education. These guests make productive liminal spaces of art education by harnessing cultural, navigational, familial, creative, and linguistic capital. Lilia Cabrera explores multiple environments with her art education students, offering experiences to work alongside hospital patients, asylum seekers in shelters, and resident doctors in Rio Grande Valley, Texas, hospitals. Her students work with communities with a range of age groups, motor skills, and cognitive abilities. She has taught art at various levels ranging from early childhood to university. She creates opportunities that align with the education of regional communities lacking in art experiences and has led art education students to create art workshops to delicate, low-economic, and multicultural youth in a border town. Cabrera is a lecturer for the art education program at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and an Associate Dean for Student Succes for the College of Fine Arts. Gina Gwen Palacios creates work highlighting the underrepresented geographic and cultural narrative of the people and land of South Texas. Rooted in the theory of conocimiento, Palacios invites viewers to embrace a multiplicity of perspectives and honor the rich, marginalized knowledge and history embedded in the US/South Texas borderlands. She is an associate professor and the Director for the Center for Mexican American Studies at the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley. Christen S. García theorizes through lived experiences, sharing autohistoria-teorías as creative capital in nepantla espacios. García is co-founder of the Nationwide Museum Mascot Project and is an associate professor in the Department of Art Education at Florida State University. García is co-author of Art Borderlands in Theory, Practice, and Teaching, with Leslie C. Sotomayor II (Routledge, 2025) and is co-editor of the book BIPOC Alliances: Building Community and Curricula (Information Age Publishing, 2023).

Colon has won numerous awards, including most recently the Kirkland Award in Chromatography (formerly known as the ACS Award in Chromatography), which we celebrated at the ACS Fall 2025 National Meeting. In a fascinating conversation, we discuss the influence of Luis' father on his scientific career, by demonstrating to Luis (whether he realized it at the time or not) a physical separation of coffee shells and beans in the wind. Dr. Colon explains the origins of his interest in materials development for chromatography, which included observations he made on the relatively short lifetimes and fragility of silica-based materials while working in industry early in his career. We also spend a good bit of time discussing Prof. Colon's motivations for an approach to mentoring younger scientists, as well as some of his thoughts about the future of the separation science field. Finally, Luis shares some of his wisdom gained over several decades as a successful and well recognized analytical scientist, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, collaboration, and open-mindedness.

Interviewee: Erick Hung, MD, Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and Associate Dean for Students, University of California San Francisco School of Medicine Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Dr. Erick Hung (UCSF) about his paper, “Promoting Disability Inclusion Through an Expanded Conceptual Framework of the Learning Environment,” part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Their conversation explores how a single student story at UCSF sparked a full-scale rethinking of what it means to create an equitable learning environment. Dr. Hung walks us through the journey—from a campus task force to a conceptual framework that now guides systemic change nationwide. Together, they unpack the six domains of the learning environment, including a new and critical addition: the societal layer, which recognizes how broader cultural forces shape belonging, access, and success. The discussion touches on mentorship, student advocacy, technical standards reform, and what it means to move beyond compliance toward culture change. Dr. Hung also reflects on humility in leadership, the importance of systems thinking, and how conceptual frameworks become living roadmaps for equity. Listeners will come away with practical takeaways for schools and leaders—build peer networks, re-evaluate policies through an inclusion lens, and invite students into the co-creation of change.

Carla L. Spagnoletti, MD, MS, has some promotion portfolio gems of wisdom for our listeners in her return to the Faculty Factory Podcast this week. At the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Dr. Spagnoletti serves as Professor of Medicine and holds the George H. Taber Endowed Chair in General Internal Medicine. In addition, she is the Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, the Associate Division Chief for Education in GIM, and the Associate Director of the Masters and Certificate Programs in Medical Education within the Institute for Clinical Research Education. As discussed in this interview, there are many reasons why clinical faculty should seek promotion. However, clinical faculty often climb the ranks more slowly than their research counterparts. While Dr. Spagnoletti concedes that this is probably due to multiple factors—such as rigorous and competing clinical duties, a lack of understanding of the process, and not always seeing tangible incentives for pursuing promotion—it became clear that something needed to be done. Therefore, Dr. Spagnoletti set out to help faculty overcome the final hurdle in promotion: building a promotion dossier or portfolio. She helped form a supportive group to assist faculty in submitting and building this portfolio so they can initiate the promotion process. At her institution, this group is called the Promotion Portfolio Club (PPC). As a true clinician-educator, she designed it as a curriculum based on a few core theories commonly used in medical education. “One of the participants in a recent club told us, ‘I'm eternally grateful, as I can only imagine this task would have been incredibly daunting had I gone it alone,' and that really captures the main reason why we started this project,” she said.

In 1996 and 1998, she served as a Ford Foundation and Fulbright-Hays Scholar-in-Residence at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Her research focuses on the use of oral history in the study of women, gender, and sexuality in Nigeria.Achebe is the author of six books including Farmers, Traders, Warriors, and Kings: Female Power and Authority in Northern Igboland, 1900–1960 (Heinemann, 2005), The Female King of Colonial Nigeria: Ahebi Ugbabe (Indiana University Press, 2011)—which won three major book awards and Female Monarchs and Merchant Queens in Africa (Ohio University Press, 2020).Lydia Amoah just completed a PhD in African Studies form the Institute of African Studies, university of Ghana, Legon. She has a Masters in African Studies and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre Arts. Her work focuses on critical areas such as Akan Customary Law and culture, women's agency, and female traditional leadership, with a strong emphasis on customary dispute resolution and peacebuilding in Ghana. Her doctoral thesis titled Akan Queenmothers and Conflict Resolution in Ghana, A Study of the Asantehemaa's ‘traditional' Court, examined how Akan Queenmothers use their customary courts for grassroots dispute prevention, resolve disputes and contribute to peace building in their communities. 

At the heart of every organization lies a web of relationships: individual performance is shaped by not only a person's inherent characteristics, but also by their interactions with others within teams, and their teams' interactions with other teams across the system.Within such a complex structure, how can we know how much of ‘deviant behavior' can be explained by poor leadership? What kinds of inter-team conflict—between whom—improve performance, and which kinds undermine it? How do the relational dynamics of team performance create unavoidable challenges during rapid organisational scaling? How can we know if or when the potential benefits of teams will outweigh the ‘team tax'? My guest for this episode is Professor Brad Harris. Brad has dedicated his career to examining these types of questions by examining how social architecture of work shapes behaviour and outcomes.Brad is the Associate Dean of MBA Programs, a Vice Dean for the TRIUM EMBA, and a Professor of Management and Human Resources at HEC Paris. Brad has received multiple teaching awards and was named a top “40 under 40 Business School Professor” by Poets and Quants.

The South needs “Yankees.” An ex-Confederate, discussing Alexandria, said: “A dozen live Yankees would regenerate this town, and make fortunes at it.” They would pave the streets, cover in the sewers, build up the vacant spots in the heart of the city, supply mechanical work at less inhuman prices than are now charged, and make this rich and intelligent community as attractive in appearance as the citizens are socially. One such man has made a new city of Alexandria. He has made the people pave their streets, put in modern sewerage, water, electricity, etc., build most creditable structures to house the public officials, and in a word, has “hustled the South,” till it had to put him temporarily out of office until it got its “second wind.” This week in Louisiana history.

Dal prossimo 15 settembre, con il pagamento del corrispettivo dell’opas, Mediobanca diventerà controllata del Monte dei Paschi. Durante il periodo di adesione sono state consegnate 506,6 milioni di azioni, pari al 62,29% del capitale, e tra il 16 e il 22 settembre Siena potrebbe superare la soglia del 66,7% necessaria per il delisting e la fusione. Questo permetterebbe di accelerare le sinergie promesse da 700 milioni e sfruttare 2,9 miliardi di crediti fiscali in sei anni. Delfin e Caltagirone hanno aderito con il loro 30%, mentre il ritocco cash di 0,9 euro ha convinto casse di previdenza, Benetton, Amundi, Anima, Tages, Unicredit e grandi fondi come Vanguard, Fidelity e Blackrock. Anche alcune famiglie pattiste, come Tortora e Doris, hanno deciso di partecipare. Ora il consiglio del 18 settembre prenderà atto del cambio di controllo, e l’uscita di Nagel e del cda è attesa per l’assemblea del 28 ottobre. Si lavora a una lista di maggioranza Mps, con i nomi di Palermo e Morelli per la carica di ceo e di Grilli e De Vecchi per la presidenza. La nuova stagione segna la fine dell’autonomia storica di Mediobanca e apre scenari anche su Generali, dove Mps erediterà il 13,1% del Leone da Piazzetta Cuccia, in sinergia con Delfin e Caltagirone. Per Donnet e il cda di Generali si prospettano mesi difficili, con lo stop al progetto di fusione con Natixis. Intanto De Agostini ha completato la cessione delle sue quote, segno dei tempi nuovi. Ne parliamo con Luca Davi, Il Sole 24Ore.Le prospettive del Pnrr a un anno dalla scadenzaA un anno dalla scadenza del Pnrr, le difficoltà nell’attuazione emergono in tutta l’Unione europea, ma l’Italia resta tra i paesi più avanti. La Francia guida con l’82% delle scadenze già completate, seguita da Danimarca (57%), Germania (54%) ed Estonia (49%), mentre Italia e Lussemburgo si attestano al 43%. Considerando i traguardi del secondo semestre 2024, l’Italia salirebbe al 54%. Finora Roma ha ricevuto 122 miliardi su 194,4 complessivi, pari al 62,7%, e la Commissione ha dato il via libera alla settima rata da 18,3 miliardi, mentre è stata presentata la richiesta per l’ottava da 12,8 miliardi. L’Italia è quindi tra i paesi con la quota più alta di risorse già incassate, anche se il ministro con delega al Pnrr Tommaso Foti, ha annunciato per l’autunno una nuova revisione del piano. Interviene Carlo Altomonte, Associate Dean e Direttore PNRR Lab, SDA Bocconi, e membro CD Fondazione M&M.Rapporto Coop, 'italiani al risparmio, è l'era del deconsumismo'Secondo il Rapporto Coop 2025, il risparmio è il driver primario per il 42% degli italiani, segno che la società dei consumi lascia spazio al deconsumismo. La spesa delle famiglie cresce solo dello 0,5% rispetto a cinque anni fa, ma oltre la metà è assorbita da spese obbligate come abitazione, utenze, trasporti e cibo. I consumatori acquistano solo l’indispensabile, si orientano sul second hand, preferiscono riparare anziché sostituire e, quando spendono in tecnologia, cercano utilità più che gratificazione. Crescono le vendite di piccoli e grandi elettrodomestici, mentre calano gli acquisti di smartphone. Nei primi sei mesi del 2025 si registra una ripresa nei carrelli della spesa, con vendite in crescita del 3,8% a valore e del 2% a volume, trainate da frutta e verdura. Al contrario cala la spesa nella ristorazione fuori casa (-2,2%), con un terzo degli italiani che intende ridurla ulteriormente. La ricerca di convenienza resta alta: i discount crescono dell’1,8%, meno dei supermercati che segnano +2,7% grazie a promozioni e prodotti a marchio del distributore, oggi percepiti come equilibrio tra qualità e risparmio. Il commento è di Albino Russo, direttore generale Ancc-Coop (Associazione Nazionale Cooperative Consumatori), e curatore del Rapporto.Infermieri, fuga dalla laurea, ci sono più posti che candidatiGli infermieri restano l’emergenza numero uno della sanità italiana, con una carenza stimata di almeno 70mila unità. Per la prima volta però, al test di ammissione alla laurea triennale ci sono stati meno candidati rispetto ai posti disponibili: 19.298 domande contro 20.699 posti, con immatricolazioni effettive destinate a essere inferiori. Nei 41 atenei pubblici le domande sono scese da 19.421 a 17.215 su 18.918 posti, segnando un calo dell’11% in un anno, con punte oltre il 30% a Roma. Una parziale compensazione potrebbe arrivare dai corsi di Medicina: dopo la riforma del test di ingresso gli iscritti sono scesi a 54mila, ma il 20% ha indicato Infermieristica come alternativa nel caso di esclusione. Potrebbe quindi esserci un recupero, ma intanto la carenza di infermieri mette a rischio ospedali e avvio della sanità territoriale con le Case di comunità. Facciamo il punto con Marzio Bartoloni, Il Sole 24 Ore.

We discuss the long history of vigilante democracy in the US and its return in our current politics. The playing field is currently tilted in favor of these vigilante policies, but blue states can level the playing field by playing constitutional hardball. David reminds us that the American people have beat back movements to use vigilante power to enforce a reactionary agenda time and again.   David's civic action toolkit recommendations are:  1) Get involved in local politics 2) Resistance works and there are a lot of opportunities to resist authoritarianism    David Noll is the co-author of Vigilante Nation: How State-Sponsored Terror Threatens Our Democracy.

"To be male is not, first and foremost, to embody certain cultural expressions, like wearing blue. To be male or female is to possess a male or female body. Our bodies are not blank canvases. There is a purpose to the design that our bodies exhibit. That purpose, fundamentally, is the body's organization for reproduction. That is the only stable way to define male and female. any other classifications are built off that primary foundation." Today's show will take a look at transgenderism as we walk through chapter 7 of Andrew and Christian Walker's new book, "What Do I Say When...?: A Parents' Guide to Navigating Cultural Chaos for Children & Teens."
