In episode 87, Kathryn and Theresa dive into the Critical Response Process (CRP) with Mallory Alekna, Assistant Professor of Music, Human Development, and Learning at Augsburg University. Mallory shares how this four-step feedback framework, developed by choreographer Liz Lerman, can transform music classrooms by fostering meaningful dialogue and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. Through CRP, students learn to articulate their observations, ask thoughtful questions, and engage in constructive, permission-based feedback. By integrating this process into music education, teachers can create more equitable, student-centered environments that encourage creativity, agency, and collaborative learning.Music teachers will leave this episode with practical strategies for implementing CRP in their classrooms, whether through peer feedback on student compositions, discussions about performance techniques, or even broader conversations about musicianship as an ongoing journey. If you're looking for ways to shift from a traditional top-down approach to one where students feel truly heard and valued, this episode is packed with insights and actionable takeaways to help you get started.Connect with Mallory and learn more: Contact MalloryLearn about the Critical Response Process Connect with an Expert Facilitator More about Pass the Baton:Website Join the Coffee Club Support Pass the Baton Amplify student voice with Exit Tickets for Self Reflection

President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will face each other in a presidential debate for the first time in the 2024 election cycle on Thursday night. They are virtually tied in the polls, with just over four months left until election day.A quarter of voters view both major party candidates unfavorably, according to a recent study by the Pew Research Center — that's more than there have been in at least three decades. So is it possible to win people over on the debate stage? We wanted to hear from someone who knows what makes for a winning debate strategy so we called up David Cram Helwich. He's the director of forensics at the University of Minnesota. He's also director of a summer speech and debate camp for high school and middle school students, which is currently underway at Augsburg University. He joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer from camp.

A recent Pew Research study shows that religious “nones” are the largest single group in the United States. Twenty-eight percent of Americans check the box “none” when asked about their religious affiliation. The decline of religious life in America is not new. More than 40 million Americans have left religious life behind in the past 25 years. The reasons for that decline are complicated. In a new series, Faith in Minnesota, we'll talk to faith leaders across the state about what people are turning to instead, if anything.Chris Stedman spends a lot of his time thinking about people who check “none” box. He's a professor of religion and philosophy at Augsburg University and is working on a book that takes a look at religious “nones.”

Nonviolence and a Needed Revival of Humanity and Moral Clarity Learning not to hate those with whom we disagree is a profound lesson in cultivating empathy and understanding. Often, violence and hate stem from a sense of feeling devalued or misunderstood. Embracing the idea that everyone's perspective is shaped by unique experiences can foster compassion and bridge the gaps that divide us. In the Christian faith, there is a powerful call to love one's neighbor and even one's enemies. This ethos encourages believers to rise above animosity, recognizing the inherent dignity in each person. A genuine adherence to Christian principles can lead to a revival of humanity, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and moral clarity. By embodying these values, individuals can contribute to a more harmonious and compassionate world, transcending the divisive forces of hatred and violence.  I'm joined in this episode by my fellow Braver Angels Harry Boyte and Marie Ström to discuss nonviolence and a needed revival of humanity and moral clarity.Who are  Harry Boyte and Marie Ström?Harry C. Boyte is a co-founder of the Institute for Public Life and Work and Senior Scholar of Public Work Philosophy at the Institute and also at Augsburg University in Minneapolis, MN.  He founded and for 20 years directed and co-directed the Center for Democracy and Citizenship (CDC) at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

Originally from South Africa, for 20 years she managed democracy education work at the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (Idasa), the major independent democracy building organization in Africa.

Throughout his career, activist, organizer, educator, and author Harry Boyte. has asked a simple, but obviously challenging question: How can we make democracy an everyday practice for everyone? Given the warnings about the end of democracy, our discussion about role of culture in the labor and civil rights movements, and the inseparable nature of imagination and democracy is timely, to say the least. BIOHarry C. Boyte is a co-founder with Marie Ström of the Public Work Academy and Senior Scholar of Public Work Philosophy, both at Augsburg University. He also founded the international youth civic education initiative Public Achievement and the Center for Democracy and Citizenship at the University of Minnesota, now merged into the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship at Augsburg University. Boyte's forthcoming book, Awakening Democracy through Public Work, Vanderbilt University Press 2018, recounts lessons from more than 25 years of revitalizing the civic purposes of K-12, higher education, professions, and other settings. In the 1960s, Boyte was a Field Secretary for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the organization headed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and subsequently was a community and labor organizer in the South. Boyte has authored ten other books on democracy, citizenship, and community organizing and his articles and essays have appeared in more than 150 publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Political Theory, Chronicle of Higher Education, Policy Review, Dissent, and the Nation.

Ray Kirstein Attachments Thu, Mar 16, 5:23 PM (3 days ago) to George Next time on State of Belief Radio, Purple Pundit Project founder Sushma Dwivedi - a New York City-Based Female Hindu Pundit Providing Progressive, Inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly Services. At a time when so many communities are divided along lines of identity and exclusion, her ambitious work is both an inspiration, and a great example of living into a values-driven personal vision that ends up helping countless others. And Najeeba Syeed, inaugural El-Hibri endowed chair and executive director of Interfaith at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. Najeeba has been widely recognized for her decades of work in conflict resolution, interfaith studies, mediation, education, deliberative democracy, social, gender and racial equity. We'll talk about the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, which starts March 22nd, and the lessons Islam offers our troubled world today.

For some time now, I have been contemplating what early twentieth-century activist and reformer Jane Addams would have to say to those of us who are asking tough questions about philanthropy. In short, I believe she would ask whether our work reflects a commitment to strengthening democracy, creating proximity among the haves and the have nots, and exemplifying what it means to be a citizen rather than a mere consumer. While I believe Addams would sympathize with many of the critiques that are being thrown at philanthropy today; I also believe she would encourage us all to be hyper-diligent in understanding what appropriate expectations we should have of it.For those who are not familiar with Jane Addams and her views on philanthropy, she was the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, co-founder of the ACLU, and co-founder of Chicago's Hull House. Addams' views on philanthropy afford us a contrast to Andrew Carnegie's “responsibilities of wealth” and the notion that giving away money is hard work. Author Louise Knight explains that Addams was far more concerned about the “responsibilities of being human” and believed philanthropy should create space for interacting directly, making sense of each other's burdens, and working together to address social issues.Before the holidays, I had the pleasure of recording today's podcast conversation with Paul Pribbenow, a veteran fundraiser, the president at Augsburg University, and a scholar of Addams' work. During his time as Augsburg‘s president, Paul has been recognized for the transformation of a culture of philanthropy that hinges on deficit-thinking and focuses on what is lacking, to an asset-based perspective that emphasizes Augsburg's high aspirations and unique strengths. In 2019, Paul was named Outstanding Fundraising Professional by The Association of Fundraising Professionals: the highest honor that AFP bestows to its members. In addition to numerous articles on philanthropy, ethics, and not-for-profit management, Paul is perhaps most admired for his bimonthly email newsletter titled, “Notes for the Reflective Practitioner.”Prior to accepting his post at Augsburg University, Paul served as president of Rockford University where Jane Addams graduated in 1882. Building on her legacy, Paul created The Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement and leveraged Addams story to recruit students and interest them in community service. As Paul writes, Addams believed that philanthropy, when properly understood, was the work of citizenship. As he desires for his students and faculty, Paul wants all of us to see and understand philanthropy as Addams did: a “common work” that belongs to all citizens.As always, we are grateful to our friends at CueBack for sponsoring The Fundraising Talent Podcast.

Thank you so much for listening, welcome back and Happy New Year!Todays Guests are Tanner Wiseman and Alex Schroeder from "Destination Fear." Tanner Wiseman grew up with a passion for filming, comedy and Minnesota football. As a teenager, he created videos on YouTube with Dakota, and it was during this time he realized that his lifelong dream was to become a filmmaker and storyteller. Tanner attended Augsburg University in Minneapolis where he earned a degree in marketing and management while playing college football. Growing up, Tanner was intrigued by scary stories and abandoned locations, and would plan weekend trips with his friends to visit and explore haunted locations. Never one to turn away from danger, he jumped on the opportunity to once again join his childhood friends, Dakota and Chelsea, on this latest haunted trail, eager to face scarier stories and more terrifying haunts. Alex Schroeder grew up across the street from Tanner and has been behind the scream since the show started.. I am super excited to chat with Alex & Tanner today about how they got started in the spooky stuff, their scariest paranormal experiences and Destination Fear. All that plus Lisa Morton's Ghost Report on "Alcatraz." Happy 2023 and we hope you enjoy this all new season of Ghost Magnet.   #DestinationFear #Haunted #Ghosts #Alcatraz

Welcome to Shakespeare 101! It's a perfectly fitting episode number for today as we invite a Shakespeare professor to answer YOUR questions about the Bard's staying power, how to read his works, and how to interpret Lady Macbeth. We always say we won't get TOO academic here, but we're getting pretty academic thanks to Chelsey's former Shakespeare professor. Professor Doug Green taught at Augsburg University, including Shakespeare and Renaissance literature, writing, drama, and film. He also helped develop and taught Augsburg's first course in queer studies. He has an abundance of knowledge and advice to share with us as we read Macbeth together this month, so jump in and travel back to the college classroom with us today.    Books, authors, and resources mentioned: Paradise Lost by John Milton Samson Agonistes by John Milton The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan  The Bacchae of Euripedes  Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf Ben Jonson Beaumont & Fletcher John Dryden Alexander Pope Theater Mu Penumbra Theater Ovid Plutarch Holinshed's Chronicles Chaucer The Guthrie Theater Classical Actor's Ensemble 10,000 Things Barbarian Tony Kushner  Colson Whitehead James McBride Toni Morrison Louise Erdrich Margaret Atwood Robert Frost Mary Oliver Lucille Clifton Ross Gay Richard Blanco Elizabeth Alexander   Shakespeare Supplements: The Oxford English Dictionary Folio Facsimile The Folger Library MIT Global Shakespeare Norton Shakespeare   Macbeth on Film: Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021, stream on Apple TV) Polanski's The Tragedy of Macbeth (1970, stream on Amazon Prime) Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957, stream on HBO Max or Amazon Prime) Find Doug's work: Jumping the Median with Doug Green
