For this Out Takes we went to Italy and then back to Victoria with a pit stop in Adelaide and Barcelona to speak to two of our guests about a brilliant book they’ve collaborated on with a group of academics to explore LGBTQ+ diversity and social change in Aussie film and television. First up we celebrated the return of the St Ali Italian Film Festival across Australia this September by reviewing ‘Armani and the Birth of Italian Fashion‘, a new documentary that traces the rise of Italy's style empires through the story of the legendary families that have been ruling it for decades and have defined an era: Armani, Versace, Gucci, Valentino, Missoni, Zegna, Ferragamo, Prada and more. Set against Milan's lavish and exclusive fashion sanctuaries, the film explores creative rivalries, personal stories and the enduring love affair between Hollywood and Italian designers. Next we headed to regional Victoria to look at ‘Constructing Change’, a wonderful short documentary from Alex Riches who joined us to discuss the film, its upcoming screenings this September plus the importance of women and gender-diverse representation in the construction and film industries. We finished up this program featuring a two part interview with media scholars Rob Cover and Stuart Romeo-Richards who are two of the authors behind ‘Australian Queer Screens’, the first book-length study of Australia’s rich history of LGBTQ+ film and television, covering histories, production, screen representation and audience identities. The post Australian Queer Screens, ‘Armani and the Birth of Italian Fashion’ and ‘Constructing Change’ short documentary appeared first on Out Takes.

Edward Blum interviews Holly White on her new book Constructing American Childhood: Age-Based Laws and the Illusion of Protection in the Early United States. As of 2025, in the United States an eleven-year-old child can be charged with a federal crime while in many states it's illegal to leave a twelve-year-old home alone. Twenty-six states allow children younger than sixteen to marry while the legal drinking age remains twenty-one. Are these age-based laws really protecting children, and if not, why do they exist? Holly White uncovers the answers to these questions through a history of America's first age-based laws. Analyzing trial records, newspapers, personal letters and diaries, as well as legal statutes from the founding era to the Civil War, White shows how restrictive age-based laws were implemented to benefit those who already held power. Over time, these new laws—coming out of child murder and rape trials as well as guardianship and underage marriage disputes—increasingly circumscribed the rights of young Americans in the early republic. As White shows, race, class, status, and gender influenced who came to benefit from the label of “child” in post-revolutionary America. In so doing, Constructing American Childhood explains why Americans continue to be guided by the age-based legal definitions of childhood and adulthood of our past. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this week's Political Breakfast: There's questions swirling, as to why Georgia's Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones has failed to endorse billionaire healthcare executive Rick Jackson for governor. Jones lost the Republican primary runoff election to Jackson. The campaign attack ads were intense. The out-of-pocket spending was immense. There may be some bad blood between the two, but with the November general election months away, is it time to clean the slate? Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson share their thoughts with host Lisa Rayam. Plus, U.S. Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock is calling for a temporary statewide ban on massive data center deals in Georgia. That's in response to a $20 billion dollar project planned for Effingham County, just north of Savannah. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Drew Perkins is joined by Dr. Nathan Dolenc to unpack his recent critique of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), detailed in his report, Good Intentions, Bad Implementation. While acknowledging the positive intentions behind the standards, Dolenc argues that the current implementation inadvertently prioritizes methods and inquiry over fundamental scientific principles, leading to fragmented curricula and the conflation of engineering with core scientific content. They explore the critical importance of restoring foundational knowledge as the bedrock of science education, discussing why rigorous content mastery must precede complex, phenomenon-based inquiries to prevent cognitive overload and ensure students truly understand the nature of science rather than just "doing" it. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. *intro/outro voice credit: David O'Hara, Professor of Philosophy, Classics & Environmental Studies; Director of Environmental Studies & Sustainability at Augustana University  Key Takeaways: The Flaws of NGSS: The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are critiqued for fragmenting the scientific process into an artificial matrix, failing to provide clear foundational definitions, and promoting illogical curriculum sequencing that lacks coherence. Foundation First (Expertise Reversal Effect): Students should prioritize foundational content mastery before engaging in complex, phenomenon-based inquiries. Starting with integrated or phenomenon-based curricula before establishing a foundation can lead to cognitive overload and hinder deep learning. Science vs. Engineering: There is a critical need to separate science from engineering. NGSS incorrectly conflates the two; engineering should be treated as an interdisciplinary capstone activity that requires prior scientific content mastery, rather than an introductory method for teaching science. Rethinking "Inquiry": While natural exploration is appropriate for early childhood education, the humanities-based interpretation of inquiry in current standards often prioritizes "dazzle" and entertainment over rigorous knowledge construction. Academic Engagement over Entertainment: Educators must prioritize academic and intellectual engagement. Activities that focus on student entertainment or "activist science" often result in an "illusion of learning" where students finish projects without understanding the underlying scientific laws or concepts. A Proposed Knowledge Model: To improve outcomes, curriculum should follow a three-phase model: Constructing (building foundational knowledge), Reinforcing (practice and application), and Utilizing (complex, real-world engineering or problem-solving). Episode Highlights & Timecodes: [00:17:36] Overview of the NGSS Critique: Nathan outlines the core issues with the Next Generation Science Standards, including the omission of guiding principles, the incorrect conflation of science and engineering, and the lack of logical sequencing. [00:26:29] Defining Science Principles: A discussion on why the "nature of science" principles—such as evidence-based reasoning and objectivity—should be central to science education, rather than relegated to an appendix. [00:30:57] The Fragmentation of Inquiry: Nathan argues that NGSS breaks the scientific process into an "artificial matrix," failing to teach the true, iterative cycle of questioning, methodology, and data analysis. [00:39:53] Logical Sequencing of Content: An examination of how flexible standards and poorly designed curricula create gaps in student knowledge by disrupting the logical, sequential flow of disciplines like chemistry and biology. [00:48:29] Science vs. Engineering: Why the conflation of these two fields in NGSS often leads to "engineering appreciation" projects that create cognitive overload rather than teaching rigorous engineering practices. [00:58:29] Pedagogical Starting Points: A debate on the "expertise reversal effect"—why starting with integrated, phenomenon-based curricula can make it difficult for students to master foundational content. [01:34:18] Proposed Scientific Knowledge Model: Nathan introduces his three-phase model for science instruction: Constructing (foundational knowledge), Reinforcing (practice), and Utilizing (complex application).

The Coherency Creator: Feminine Leadership Archetype #7 of 8  "Through my presence, I bring things into order. I see what is out of alignment. I can pinpoint what causes disharmony." There is so much chaos, noise, and incoherency being thrown at us right now — and within us.The Coherency Creator gives us access to our power to work with the field - our own inner field and the fields (ecosystems, situations, relationships, interactions) we show up in - to bring situations, relationships, and realities into a resonant state of order and harmony. Not by fixing, saving or forcing. But through our presence. And our ability to speak and embody what is called the power of "loving truth." Consider this: We each can choose to be leaders in our lives, relationships, teams, family systems and community. We each have the power to shift a room, create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict, and open space for new possibility. Just by showing up centered, grounded, and clear. Which sounds much easier than it is in real time practice! In this episode, we welcome in The Coherency Creator to explore what it means to consciously wield this power in your life right now. Here's a snippet of the power within us when we tap into this … "I lead us to create structure that innately creates harmony between all the parts." (get the full written transmission here)  Why this matters now: The chaos we are experiencing all around us is not accidental. When there is continual chaos, it keeps people stuck in the shadow frequencies of fear, blame, shame, and isolation. And we cannot create what's next from inside of that. The more of us who can consciously show up as coherency creators - in our own inner field first, and then in the fields around us - the more we shift what's possible. We don't have to fix it all. We don't have to be at the top of a hierarchy to embody this power. Often our most powerful act is simply to be a grounded, compassionate, honest, and clear presence in the room. Some of What We'll explore: Coherency as a Superpower - what it actually is, why it's so undervalued, and why the words alignment, resonance, harmony, beauty, clarity, presence, ease, and grace matter more than ever right now Your Body, Voice & Being as a Sword of Loving Truth - a somatic practice for understanding how your presence, energy, frequency, and essence work together to shift a room and create harmony and order out of chaos and conflict Incoherency Indicators - how to recognize when you're out of coherency in yourself or in the field, so you can work with your emotions and judgments and shift your energy on the inside before responding on the outside The Drama Triangle Flip - moving from victim, perpetrator, and fixer into creator, challenger, and coach — a simple but mighty tool for creating coherency Three Practices - simple, medium, large: Get Curious Instead of Critical; Proactive Power Pauses; and a five-part Elevation Practice for moving from incoherency to harmony step by step P.S. ✨ Get access to other episodes in this series here on the Feminine Power Time Wisdom Library.

Constructing the Medieval Maritime State: Identity, Violence, and Connection in the Mediterranean (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Professor Travis Bruce explores how the small medieval kingdom of Denia in Spain became a powerful maritime state after the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate. Its rulers built authority, not only through war and seafaring raids but also by connecting Denia to wider Mediterranean trade, diplomacy, and culture. The rise and evolution of the taifa of Denia is a powerful case study for understanding the construction of medieval maritime states in the Mediterranean. Dr. Bruce situates Denia within the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate and explores how its rulers forged legitimacy through identity formation, maritime violence, and regional connectivity. Denia's identity was negotiated through rulership, unfreedom, and cultural hybridity, and violence — particularly predatory warfare and maritime jihad — functioned as both statecraft and economic extraction. At the same time, Denia's entanglement in commercial, diplomatic, and intellectual networks positioned it as a key node linking the Islamic Mediterranean and the Latin West. The state's trajectory cannot be reduced to narratives of decline or simple religious conflict but instead reveals a process of negotiation shaped by mobility, interdependence, and the fluid boundaries between public and private power. This narrative reframes Mediterranean history beyond Eurocentric paradigms and underscores the significance of Islamic maritime states within the wider medieval world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

This narrative reframes Mediterranean history beyond Eurocentric paradigms and underscores the significance of Islamic maritime states within the wider medieval world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Constructing the Medieval Maritime State: Identity, Violence, and Connection in the Mediterranean (Oxford University Press, 2026) by Professor Travis Bruce explores how the small medieval kingdom of Denia in Spain became a powerful maritime state after the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate. Its rulers built authority, not only through war and seafaring raids but also by connecting Denia to wider Mediterranean trade, diplomacy, and culture. The rise and evolution of the taifa of Denia is a powerful case study for understanding the construction of medieval maritime states in the Mediterranean. Dr. Bruce situates Denia within the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate and explores how its rulers forged legitimacy through identity formation, maritime violence, and regional connectivity. Denia's identity was negotiated through rulership, unfreedom, and cultural hybridity, and violence — particularly predatory warfare and maritime jihad — functioned as both statecraft and economic extraction.

Engaging in the spiritual battle to refine the animal soul guarantees divine assistance and enables one to transform worldly energy into spiritual gain. Constructing a ma'akeh (guardrail) is an independent mitzvah requiring a blessing, teaching that whenever one embarks on a new endeavor or a new year, higher spiritual safeguards are required. While the literal eradication of Amalek awaits the Messianic era, every individual is obligated daily to wage a spiritual war against the apathy and coldness of Amalek through the warmth of prayer. Chai Elul introduces the vitality of Chassidus into the month of Elul, enabling sincere regret over the past to coexist harmoniously with the deep joy of returning to Hashem. The final twelve days of the year before Rosh Hashanah are dedicated to a month-by-month accounting focused primarily on one's involvement in the inner dimensions of Torah and disseminating its wellsprings. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Ki Seitzei in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 2. Support our work. Please donate! charidy.com/rst

We often idealize the university as a sanctuary for disinterested reason, where material concerns are set aside in favor of higher principles. Yet when we remember our own college experiences, what springs to mind are not just lofty concepts but also material realities: cramped dorm rooms and musty library stacks, gothic towers and freshly mowed quads. The University: A History in Stone, Silk, and Blood (Harvard University Press, 2026) puts such seemingly inconsequential details at the center of the institution's 900-year history. Constructing each chapter around an emblematic material—straw, stone, flesh, blood, silk, paper, iron, and concrete—Professor William Whyte traces the intimate connections between the university's shifting physical form and its evolving social and cultural meanings. From the medieval University of Paris, where students purchased bundles of straw to use as chairs in otherwise-unfurnished classrooms, to the ocean of concrete at postcolonial Nigeria's Obafemi Awolowo University, Professor Whyte shows how competing visions of higher learning left their imprint on generations of university architecture, landscaping, and furniture. Along the way, he highlights perennial fears that, within the social space of the university, the life of the mind would recede before worldly interests: that student bloodlines would be tainted by racial intermixing, that courting donors with buildings named in their honor would become more important than research and education, that the allure of powdered wigs and silk gowns would undermine scholarly discipline. A richly textured chronicle, The University concludes that, even in the age of remote learning, the college campus is irreplaceable. The future of higher education includes fiber-optic cables, but stone, brick, and steel are here to stay. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Jon O'Brien and Chris Martin delve into a critical and timely topic: mental health in the construction industry. Joined by two esteemed guests from Minnesota, Tim Worke from AGC Minnesota and Cheri Quinn from Mercury Creative Group, the discussion centers around the innovative Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance.We kick off the episode by acknowledging the growing importance of mental health awareness within the construction sector, a topic that has gained traction across the country. Tim and Cheri introduce the concept of the Minnesota Construction Mental Health Alliance, emphasizing that this initiative is not just another program but a collaborative effort aimed at systemic change. The term "alliance" is pivotal, as it signifies a partnership among industry leaders to address mental health challenges from a leadership perspective, rather than merely providing resources or awareness.Tim elaborates on the unique three-legged stool approach of the alliance, which includes project owners, contractors, and labor representatives. This model seeks to engage project owners—often overlooked in discussions about mental health—by highlighting their role in creating project conditions that can lead to stress and mental health issues among workers. The conversation reveals a stark reality: individuals entering the construction workforce today are five times more likely to die by suicide than from job site accidents, underscoring the urgent need for cultural change within the industry.As the discussion unfolds, we explore the challenges of bringing diverse stakeholders to the table and fostering a shared vision. Tim and Cheri share insights on the initial hurdles of overcoming blame and finger-pointing among different parties, ultimately leading to a collective commitment to change. They highlight the importance of creating a culture where mental health is valued equally alongside physical safety, drawing parallels to the evolution of safety standards in the industry.The episode also touches on the practical steps being taken to fund and support this initiative, including the establishment of a 501c6 organization to manage resources and a recent grant that will help implement mental health training programs. Tim and Cheri express their hope that this model can serve as a blueprint for other states and organizations looking to address similar issues.As we wrap up, Jon and Chris reflect on the inspiring work being done in Minnesota and the potential for broader impact across the construction industry. They invite listeners to engage with Tim and Cheri for further discussion and collaboration, emphasizing the importance of collective action in tackling mental health challenges.
