As kids, we all heard someone tell us that it's wrong to lie...but as we grew older, we realized that people lie all the time. Politicians, presidents, and even executives at corporations tell lies—big and small. As citizens, there are obvious exceptions where lying is wrong, for instance; perjury, lying on your employment application, or lying to get a bank loan. But do we have a right to lie? And if so, what are the boundaries?On this episode, we speak with UCLA Professor of Philosophy and Law Seana Shiffrin and George Washington University Professor of Law Catherine Ross. They discuss both the philosophical arguments against lying and the legal arguments against notorious lies made by President Trump and former Congressman George Santos.

I am very excited to share this next podcast episode, Ask the Parkinson Expert- Take 6 for PD.  On this episode, I asked the same 2 questions to all the Parkinson experts I interviewed in April.  When I meet with many of my clients with PD, they ask me what can I do to decrease the progression of the disease?  I was curious how others would answer this question.  So, I asked Dr. Melissa McConaghy, Josepha Domingos , John Dean, Dr. Eric Rhoden, Dr. Becky Farley, Betsy Vierck, and Catherine Ross the same question.  It was fun to hear everyone's perspectives and definitely made me think differently. I am also impressed with all the new emerging research on Pd, but it can be overwhelming.  So, my 2nd question to everyone was what research are they following and what they would recommend others to follow that they feel can make a difference in people's lives? Throughout the conversations we had some overlapping themes, as well as new and different perspectives.Question 1: 12 Tips to slow the progression of the disease from PD experts!Start exercise as soon as possible, although it's never too late! (Dr. McConaghy)Do as much as possible that is relevant! (Dr. McConaghy) Stay updated on the exercise research! (Josepha Domingos)Clinicians should listen and watch their clients closely! (John Dean)Make sure you have intimate conversations and cater to your client, not just the disease. (Dr. Eric Rhoden)Find clinicians that are specialized in PD. (John Dean and Dr. Eric Rhoden)Treat the whole person- attach this from as many angles as possible. It's not singularity, it's a web, everything is interconnected.  (Dr. Eric Rhoden)Attack as many angles as you can.  How many systems in your body are your trying to optimize.  Treat the whole person (diet, sleep, exercise…) like a professional athlete for your life.  Optimize and train that way so can compete in life at your best. (Dr. Eric Rhoden)Let's train people with PD like an athlete! (Dr. Becky Farley) Intensity is important, but so is volume!  Don't take for granted what you do on a daily basis, move every day! (Dr. Becky Farley) Be informed of what can happen to you and what you can do to help it. (Betsy Vierck) Exercise should be goal oriented for the individual. (Catherine Ross) Here is a great article and webinar discussing if there is a way to slow Parkinson's progression: ‘Can We Put the Brakes on Parkinson's Progression? | Parkinson's Foundation'. Question 2: What new research do PD experts recommend following?  Various topics on research were discussed and we added some articles on each topic.  (Please see all articles and resources here: Take6forPD to increase PD awareness – Step and Connect

What can the government do to counter "disinformation" or other statements that it believes to be false? The Supreme Court famously protected some false defamatory statements in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan and extended that holding, in United States v. Alvarez, that the First Amendment prevented the government from punishing a speaker from falsely claiming to have won military honors. Yet other false statements, such as fraud and perjury, may be punished, and recently the question of the government's power to limit false speech has assumed more prominence. In response to the Capitol attack of January 6, 2021 and President Trump's claims that the 2020 election was stolen, the governor of Washington State proposed a law punishing false speech that was likely to lead to violence. Elsewhere controversies surrounding the truth of COVID-related information have arisen and the Biden Administration's Department of Homeland Security had planned to create a board to counter disinformation. Amid free-speech outcries, the proposal was set aside, but the Administration remains focused on combating disinformation. This program will feature panelists with contrasting views of the government's authority in this field and whether efforts to limit false speech represent a threat to First Amendment values.

Today librarian at Diocesan School for Girls, Catherine Ross is talking about a favourite theme for students right now, Crime!

Today we speak with renowned teaching and learning theorist and thought leader Laura I. Rendón, a Professor Emerita at the University of Texas-San Antonio and author of the book Sentipensante (Sensing/Thinking) Pedagogy: Educating for Wholeness, Social Justice and Liberation (2009). As the pandemic nears its end, Dr. Rendón believes we are now in “nepantla”, or a liminal space of inquiry and possibility, regarding the future of higher education. As we return to campuses and classrooms, we need to deeply question what “normal” should be and make sure our pedagogical choices offer a “better” normal for all students, and especially for underserved populations. We need to ask ourselves what kind of an education students now need to help society and to solve our complex problems. We should be mindful of centering equity and inclusion in all of the learning experiences that students encounter. Dr. Rendón discusses some of the entrenched beliefs that dictate the current culture of teaching and learning, and how they could be shifted to embrace a new vision of higher education.

Welcome to Season 3 of Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning! We begin this season by turning the conversation around: our guest today is Catherine Ross, Executive Director of the Columbia Center for Teaching and Learning, and host of Dead Ideas. Catherine, interviewed by Ian Althouse, Senior Assistant Director at the Columbia CTL, shares why she decided to start this podcast—including her own “aha” moment—and what motivates and inspires her to continue the work of unpacking implicit assumptions in teaching and learning in higher education. Catherine also gives listeners a sneak peek of this season's upcoming guests. In Season 3, we will focus on teaching and learning systems in the academy, and how they need to be changed. Topics include beliefs about rigor, the value of undergraduate education in research universities, how to generate systemic change in institutions, issues of equity, and how faculty are evaluated.
