For this episode of the podcast I spoke with Craig Holdrege and Ryan Shea of the Nature Institute in Ghent, New York about the theory and practice of a very different way of doing science, informed and inspired by the work of the great German poet, scientist, and statesman, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In contrast to the reductionist paradigm of science as it is often practiced elsewhere today, the Goethean approach seeks a perspective on nature characterized by wholeness and interconnection through a sensitive and self-aware methodology in which the relationships between the phenomena and the observer are not forgotten. Craig was a visiting instructor at Thoreau College in 2020 and we are very excited to welcome Ryan to Wisconsin as guest instructor this coming spring during our Spring 2025 Metamorphosis Gap Semester.Craig Holdrege is the Nature Institute's director and spearheaded its founding in 1998. His passion is to develop what Goethe called “delicate empiricism” — an approach that learns from nature how to understand nature and is infused with a cautious and critical awareness of how intentions and habits of mind affect human understanding. Craig carries out studies of animals and plants that tell the story of these organisms as dynamic and integrated beings within the larger web of life. He has written many articles and books, including Seeing the Animal Whole—And Why It Matters, Do Frogs Come from Tadpoles? and Thinking Like a Plant. Before co-founding The Nature Institute, Craig was a high school biology teacher in Waldorf Schools, working in Germany for 12 years and then in the U.S. for nine years. Since the early 1990s, Craig has been involved in teacher training. Craig has a Ph.D. in sustainability education from Prescott College in Arizona. He completed a Masters-level, non-degree program in phenomenological science at the Science Research Laboratory at the Goetheanum, Switzerland, and has a B.A. in philosophy from Beloit College.Ryan Shea taught at Providence College for eight years, including courses in philosophy of science, environmental philosophy, and nature writing. He has B.A. and M.A. degrees in philosophy. He brings to his work at The Nature Institute a broad knowledge of ancient philosophical biology (especially Aristotle), the scientific revolution, phenomenology, German idealism, and Goethean qualitative science. Ryan has been interested in Goethean Science since he was a teenager. He began working part-time for The Nature Institute in spring 2023 and is full-time as of September 2024. He is excited to now have the opportunity to develop Goethean practice through research and teaching. He is interested in pursuing the nature of metamorphosis in different realms of the living world, and what it means to read the “book of nature.” Nature Institute: https://www.natureinstitute.org/Metamorphosis Gap Semester - Spring 2025 - https://thoreaucollege.org/metamorphosis-spring/

The Fighting Scots host Beloit College for a Midwest Conference match up at April Zorn Memorial Stadium.

The week Coop and Taylor are joined by Matt Bower to discuss a few sections from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's Husserl at the limits of Phenomenology as well as Husserl's The Origin of Geometry. Matt is currently Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at Texas State University. Matt completed his doctoral work at University of Memphis (2013) and earned by bachelors' degree, also in philosophy, from Beloit College (2007). His area of specialization is post-Kantian European philosophy, especially as it bears on topics in philosophy of mind and perception. He's published several articles about Husserl's genetic phenomenology, some attempting to explain Husserl's method and theoretical ambitions in doing genetic phenomenology and others examining its relation to developmental psychology and as a way to understand the embededness of intersubjectivity in perceptual experience. He's also published articles exploring the phenomenology of Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas.

Here's a question. Who lit the fire in your life? This week's guest is Dr. Jerry Gustafson. He's Professor Emeritus of Economics at Beloit College and the Founder of the Center for Entrepreneurship in Liberal Education at Beloit, known as CELEB. Jerry was also my faculty advisor when I was an undergrad, and the person who, without question, lit the fire in my life. CELEB is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The difference that it has made in the lives of the students that have passed through its doors and benefited from its physical and emotional infrastructure is enormous. Beloit is a small Midwestern college with a very big heart, just like the town after which it's named. I wound up there on the back of an edict from my father, after my repeated academic disinterest produced a string of exam results that no British university would accept. For a man who valued academic achievement, my intellectual failings were disappointing to my father. I use the word ‘disappointing' in the British sense. The American translation came with an ultimatum. Go to Beloit or get a job. Luckily for me, Beloit fit like a glove. Even luckier, it brought Jerry Gustafson into my life. I've always said that by the time I graduated, Beloit had taught me two things. First, that in the grand scheme of life, I knew nothing. And second, how to find the answers to almost anything. I can think of no more valuable foundations. But there was a third lesson that I received from Beloit that I hadn't fully appreciated until years after I graduated. The details of the story you'll hear in my conversation with Jerry. But the headline is that there is no greater gift than having someone who sees what you're capable of before you do. For me, Jerry was that person. He lit a fire in me that I'm happy to say burns fiercely today. Helping people doesn't always happen in real time. Sometimes the embers that you stoke don't fully ignite until later. But don't let that stop you. Light fires wherever and whenever you can. If you see greatness in someone, tell them. The chances are, they haven't yet seen in themselves what you have. And above all, as Jerry suggests, help them to start thinking, about what it is that for them, makes life really great. Be their fire starter. It's the best job there is.

One measure of cultural change that's been coming out annually since 1998 is the Beloit College Mindset List. The list tells us what has always been true or not true for incoming college freshman. Those born in 2005 comprise this year's incoming class of 2027. For them, a cloned human being has always been a thing. The word “sexting” has always been a part of their vocabulary. Videos are not something you rent at a store. Rather, this year's incoming class  have only lived in a world where videos are something you upload to youtube. For them, HIV has always been more or less curable. Sci-Fi and Fantasy movies have always been the top-grossing film genres in a single year. And they are growing up in a world where they will always worry about getting a job in which they can be replaced by a bot. Parents, while the world is changing at breakneck speed, God's Word remains unchanged. Help your kids see how God speaks to the pressures, issues, and changes they encounter in today's youth culture.

On a new Teachers' Lounge podcast, A LIVE conversation at Beloit College with Wayne Au. He was this year's Weissberg Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice at Beloit. Hear the live conversation and audience Q&A!

Dr. Nicole Truesdell is an anthropologist and abolitionist scholar and teacher. Dr. Truesdell's previous experience includes being an administrator and faculty member at Brown University and Beloit College, working with students who are underserved and underrepresented in higher education. At Brown, she founded the Institute for Transformative Practice, which housed 7 student-focused identity centers, and worked to create collaborative, cooperative, and coalition based programming and research around collective liberation.  At Beloit College, she created the Office of Academic Diversity and Inclusiveness which housed all programs that worked with underserved and underrepresented students in higher education. Dr. Truesdell obtained her Ph.D. in 2011 from Michigan State University in Anthropology, with a focus on race, racism, citizenship, and the nation-state. Her work continues to push the boundaries around the concept of the human and humanity by using a Black decolonial lens to imagine what is and can be possible for a liberatory humanity. She connects with people without the systems of institutes through her Patreon, TikTok, podcasts, speaking engagements and salon-style dinners. Her goal is to empower and equip the next generation of abolitionists.   In This Episode: How Dr. Nicole Truesdale began her journey towards abolitionist based work, and what continues to drive her forward. How her revelations during the pandemic led Dr. Nicole to start teaching to the public on Tik Tok. Why Dr. Nicole doesn't believe in allyship and instead advocates for abolitionsism. The relationship between white femininity and white patriarchy and how these feed the destructive contract that is the perception of whiteness. How to approach and understand decolonial work while remaining connected to/or rediscovering our humanity. Dr. Nicole suggests that group study in history is the key to abolitionism. The effects of religion and the ways it has pushed forward the violent colonial agenda.  If people connect back to their ancestral ways, It's going to help us do the abolitionism work. Why understanding different pantheons and cosmologies are so important in our understanding of spirituality. Dr. Truesdell's connections to the Orishas and how these spiritual practices and cosmologies teach us how to live with reciprocity.   Full Show Notes: Dr Nicole's Tik Tok Dr Nicole's Patreon To support my work: Cashapp: $drnicoletruesdell Brittany Simone Anderson's Instagram Laura Chung Instagram The Werk Podcast Instagram The Werk Podcast Website YouTube Channel Connect with The Werk: If you enjoyed the podcast and you feel called, please share it, and tag us!

Matt grew up in small town Wisconsin and graduated from Beloit College in 2013.  He has lived in Spain, Boston, St. Maarten in the Caribbean, and now San Diego and started investing remotely in multi-family properties in Wisconsin in 2018.  Since then he's focused on growing a short term rental portfolio with 7 properties in Nashville, Scottsdale, Wisconsin and San Diego.  Leveraging that operational experience, he partnered with Craig to launch a property management business at the end of 2019.  After persevering through some initial struggles at the start of Covid, they have now built a 7 figure business and plan to leverage their expertise to acquire hotels around the country. Craig graduated from Purdue University with an engineering degree in 2014.  While working in San Diego as an engineer, he founded his short-term rental business and 3X his salary with the cash flow from his rentals in just 3 years.

As the COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. ticked past one million, it was another milestone in a pandemic full of staggering milestones. Eric Boynton, philosopher and dean of Beloit College, discusses the limitations we all have in comprehending such loss and what it feels like to experience individual grief while others are grieving around you.

For this special episode, Greg speaks with his extraordinary and much-revered high-school history teacher, Mr. D. Stanley Moore, about Stan's Minneapolis background and education at Beloit College, his study of the Russian language in the US Army and eventually Russian Area Studies at the University of Minnesota and Dostoevsky at Yale, his path to and career at Rich East High School in the postwar town of Park Forest, IL, traveling, teaching, learning, and camping in the USSR and Europe (including in the explosive year 1968), teaching in China during and after Tiananmen Square, Russia's war on Ukraine, and his poetry, from which he reads.

Do you remember the 1974 Hollywood blockbuster, The Towering Inferno? The movie starred Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Fred Astaire, Susan Blakely, Robert Vaughn, Robert Wagner and Richard Chamberlain. So what does that have to do with the author of our lost sci-fi short story? Well, after writing sci-fi for more than two decades Frank M. Robinson switched gears and started writing disaster novels with a partner. And one of those novels “The Glass Inferno” was used to create the Hollywood movie with a budget of $14 million that did more than $200 million at the box office. Robinson received a hefty payday.Born in Chicago, Illinois on August 9th, 1926 it's been said that Robinson was the son of a check forger. In his teens he was a copy boy for International News Service and then became an office boy for Ziff-Davis publishing, which published the sci-fi magazine Amazing Stories and later added Fantastic Adventures. Robinson attended Beloit College and earned a master's degree in journalism at Northwestern University. He served two tours of duty in the U.S. Navy as a radar technician during World War II and the Korean War.His career as a science fiction writer started in 1950 and with 10 stories published in 1951 his career took off.From the pages of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in June 1955, WANTED: One Sane Man by Frank M. Robison.Robinson wrote 11 novels starting with The Power in 1956 and ending in 2004 with the release of The Donor.

We joined Dan Schooff, currently the Chief of Staff and Secretary at Beloit College, and a former Beloit-area legislator and WI Department of Administration Secretary, to tour the Beloit College Powerhouse on the banks of the Rock River to see the transformation that has taken place there. The Beloit College Powerhouse was originally a coal plant built in the early 1900's and was recently reimagined as a student center for the college. Dan led the efforts on this massive undertaking, and in our interview, he shares more about preserving and restoring the historic power plant, and the core mission of sustainability that drove efforts to use geothermal heating and cooling on this award-winning structure. The YouTube version of this podcast has video clips from our tour included, and our Twitter page, @theelectricwire, has pictures from the tour as well.
