Podcasts about civic literacy

The political landscape on college campuses is undergoing a significant transformation, with a growing divide between male and female students. Samuel Abrams from Sarah Lawrence College helps break down the recent data that reveals a concerning gap in civic knowledge between genders, particularly among those leading campus protests. What needs to happen to restore some civic literacy in our schools and communities? Looking for solutions to that question will do much more to safeguard the future of our country than perhaps anything else.

This is an interview that feels less like an interview and more like you're overhearing a convo at the brunch table, and quite frankly, that's the whole idea.

This episode originally aired on Jan. 28, 2021. The founding fathers knew that democracy depends on an educated citizenry that understands how the system works. Thomas Jefferson advocated for public education for that reason and defended the need for citizens to be taxed for it.

This week was such a robust discussion with my beautiful friend Liz.  Liz Jarrard begins her residencies for her Masters’s of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health counseling. She is an academic writer and creates interactive textbooks for undergraduate students in Technical Communications. Liz is a Reiki ART master and is finishing up a certification in HeartMath Institute meditations and Foundations in Ritual Healing Course with Dr. Daniel Foor. She is a divorcé and a mother of three children. She presented twice at the Utah Conference of Undergraduate Research for her research in Feminist Theology studies and Civic Literacy. Liz and I have similar stories of how our awakening began. Sometimes it takes some sort of trauma to become woke. Other times it doesn't. I find it fascinating how sometimes our intuitive aspects are contained based on our programming, which she goes into, And getting that we don't have to fit in this so called box that naturally occurs.  She shares how she left Mormonism and found a different way of looking at spirituality, & how she began her journey. We also talk about understanding feminine & masculine energy and principles. Along with how important it is to be living and embodying truth with however that looks.
