Today on the podcast I am super psyched to be syncing up with my friend, author, historian, fitness instructor and thought leader, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela. Natalia is a historian of contemporary American politics and culture, and an associate professor of history at The New School in New York City. She is the author of two books, the most recent one being Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America's Exercise Obsession and Classroom Wars. Natalia is also a certified fitness instructor with Intensati, the mind-body practice which she has been teaching for nearly three decades and where we met, way back when. She is also the co-host of the weekly history podcast Past Present, which discusses recent events in American politics in the context of American political history. Her work has appeared in top media outlets such as The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, the New Republic, CNN, MSNBC and more.  Natalia is a passionate runner, yogi, and fitness enthusiast, and she has a lot of insights to share about the history and culture of exercise in America. In this episode, we talk about her new book, Fit Nation, and how it connects to her personal and professional journey. We also discuss the origins and evolution of fitness trends at a high level as discussed in her book and do a deeper dive into Yoga and running  and how they all  reflect and shape broader social and political issues. And of course, we talk about her own fitness routine and how she balances it with her busy academic career. Natalia is a fascinating and inspiring person, and I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to our conversation.

In this episode, I spoke with historian, podcaster, speaker, and wellness instructor Dr. Natalia Mehlman Petrzela. Natalia is an associate professor of history at The New School. Her first book, Classroom Wars: Language, Sex, and the Making of Modern Political Culture, was published in 2015. She is a co-host of the weekly podcast Past Present, and also hosted the amazing podcast Welcome to Your Fantasy, about the cultural phenomenon of Chippendales. Natalia's newest book, Fit Nation: The Gains and Pains of America's Exercise Obsession is coming next month from the University of Chicago Press.

Wendy Turner sees social and emotional learning as central to everything she does in her classroom, from how she welcomes her second-graders each morning to how she guides them through math activities. "It's the base layer of education," says Turner, a teacher at Mount Pleasant Elementary School in Wilmington, Del., who was named Delaware's Teacher of the Year in 2017.

In this episode, Niki, Neil, and Natalia discuss the debate over school reopening. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  When – and how – public schools should reopen has become a topic of intense controversy. Neil cited this Los Angeles Times piece about the “intractable learning loss” suffered by English Language Learners this year. Natalia referred to this New York Times article about whether “learning loss” should be assessed and to this Politico article about the demand by United Teachers of Los Angeles for free childcare as a condition of their return to the classroom. She also drew on this History Channel article about the trust in public schools that existed during the 1918 influenza pandemic. Niki cited historian Daniel Rodgers’ Age of Fracture, and each of our books: Classroom Wars, We Gather Together, and Messengers of the Right.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed the latest policing of Dr. Jill Biden’s self-presentation: her stockings. Neil discussed the HBO documentary Tina. Niki shared Gina Kolata’s New York Times article, “Kati Kariko Helped Shield the World From the Coronavirus.”

In this episode, Natalia, Neil, and Niki discuss the influence of Trump adviser Stephen Miller, the resurgence of measles in the United States and the anti-vaccination movement, and the plight of adjunct professors. Support Past Present on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pastpresentpodcast Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show:  A spate of departures at the Department of Homeland Security has brought attention to stalwart Trump hardliner Stephen Miller. Natalia cited this Atlantic profile of Miller, as well as her own book, Classroom Wars, which focuses on the California school system in which Miller formed his worldview. Niki cited Adam Serwer’s Atlantic article, “The Cruelty is the Point.” Measles, once thought to be eradicated in the United States, is back thanks in part to a robust anti-vaccination movement. Natalia mentioned this press release from the Anti-Defamation League, and Niki cited this study sympathetic to the anti-vaccine cause. Adam Harris’ Atlantic article about the death of historian Thea Hunter has invigorated conversation about the adversity facing adjunct professors. Niki referred to this article at the American Prospect about the unionization of adjuncts.    In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia recommended Rosa Lyster’s Outline article, “Listen Up, Bitches, It’s Time to learn Incorrect Things About Someone You’ve Never Heard Of.” Neil discussed the White House’s screening of the anti-abortion film Gosnell. Niki shared Ben Guarino’s Washington Post article, “Algorithms Gave Us the Black Hole Picture. She’s the 29-year-old Scientist Who Helped Create Them.”

It's September, so this history podcast is rolling out its annual back-to-school episode. This go around, we address the question: What do the controversies in the 1960s and 1970s surrounding sex education and bilingual education have to do with each other? Well, quite a bit, as it turns out. And that's why I'll sit down with historian Natalia Petrzela to talk about her book, Classroom Wars: Language, Sex, and the Making of Modern Political Culture (Oxford University Press). It's a fascinating examination of the history of education policy and how it both reflected and shaped political discourse about immigration and diversity, as well as attitudes about sex and sexual mores, in the mid-20th century. We also talk about Natalia's role as a co-host of another fabulous history podcast, Past Present (http://www.pastpresentpodcast.com).  Among the many things discussed in this episode:  How political conservatives in the 1960s advocated bilingual education and cultural exchange with Mexico. Why bilingual education became more controversial, in part, due to increased political activism by Latino rights groups like La Raza. How efforts to promote bilingual education also led to increased acceptance of Latino culture and diversity in public schools. How and why sex education became politicized in the 1960s. How some conservatives in the 1960s linked sex education to promoting communism. Why, despite great opposition, both sex education and bilingual education gained wide acceptance by the 1980s.

In today’s episode we hear a September 6, 2016 interview with Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, assistant professor of History at the New School, podcast host, wellness expert, and the author of Classroom Wars: Language, Sex, and the Making of Modern Political Culture. Natalia talks about debates over education in America, and how they can shed light on our country’s shifting political landscape from the 1960s to the present.

The intersection between Spanish-bilingual education and sex education might not be immediately apparent. Yet, as Natalia Mehlman Petrzela shows in her new book, Classroom Wars: Language, Sex, and the Making of Modern Political Culture (Oxford University Press, 2015), the meeting between these two paradigms of education firmly connects in California during the 1960s and 70s. Under the backdrop of California during an era of the sexual revolution, a dramatic influx of Latinos, and awakened protest movements, Dr. Petrzela, assistant professor at The New School, explores this historical landscape of education and society. From well-known political icons like Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, to lesser-known figures such as Ernesto Galarza, and even details from regular people who lived the moment, Classroom Wars provides an in-depth and nuanced look into this interesting intersection in American educational history.
