Can artificial intelligence transform how we navigate the most challenging dialogues on campus? Join us for a thought-provoking episode featuring philosopher and educator Simon Cullen, as he unveils his pioneering work at the intersection of education, technology, and constructive disagreement.In conversation with John Tomasi, Simon explores how open inquiry is both advanced and imperiled by disagreement, and describes his academic journey from Australia to Princeton and Carnegie Mellon. Central to the discussion is ‘Sway' an AI-powered platform developed by Simon and his team to foster rigorous, evidence-based dialogue among students on controversial topics. Sway intelligently pairs students with opposing views and acts as a “guide on the side,” scaffolding reasoning, encouraging intellectual humility, and ensuring that exchanges remain constructive and charitable. Simon shares the empirical findings from thousands of Sway-mediated dialogues, where measurable increases in students' openness, comfort, and analytical reasoning have been observed—even on divisive subjects like gender, immigration, and the Israel-Palestine conflict. In This Episode:

Granieri who is a history professor at the United States Army War College, as well as a Templeton Education Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

The two old friends talk about America's place in the world, and the changes in the U.S.-E.U. partnership in the era of President Trump. They also discuss Russia and Ukraine, trade and tariffs, immigration and global economics.

Today, we are learning from Franzisca Weder. As a communication and media scholar, Franzisca Weder knows that storytelling and the arts must sit alongside science, technology, business, and other disciplines to solve the challenges of sustainability and climate change. Throughout her 20-year career in tertiary education, she has focused on using various communication strategies and forms of creative disruption to bring about individual and organisational change. Her work turns the motto ‘all talk no action' on its head, demonstrating instead the idea that ‘talking is action'. Communication, language, and stories are essential tools to help humans make sense of the world, question their reality, and develop new norms that create a socio-ecological transformation process.

Guest: Robert Powell, CFP, Financial Journalism Legend Summary Bullet Points: 1. Key takeaways from a retirement planning conference, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the process over the product. 2. Addressing the advice gap and the need for comprehensive financial guidance for individuals with limited retirement savings. 3. Highlighting the liability side of retirement planning, including healthcare cost planning, and the limitations of current technology in accommodating complex spending patterns. Introduction: In a recent conference, financial journalist Bob Powell and host Jae Oh, Education Fellow at the Alliance For Lifetime Income, provided valuable insights into retirement planning and the need for comprehensive financial advice. This article summarizes their discussion, highlighting key takeaways and addressing the challenges faced in the financial services industry. Process Over Product: One key theme discussed was the importance of focusing on the process rather than the product in retirement planning. The process of creating a tailored plan for each individual, considering their unique needs and circumstances, was emphasized as crucial. This approach allows financial advisors to provide clients with the perfect plan suited to their requirements, even though there may not be a universally perfect product. By encouraging the audience to understand the significance of the planning process, they can make informed decisions about their retirement. Addressing the Advice Gap: The conversation also delved into the issue of providing financial advice to individuals with fewer resources. While there is ample assistance available for those with substantial assets, the majority of Americans who have limited retirement savings often lack access to comprehensive guidance. This advice gap poses a significant challenge for the financial services industry, and the discussion called for solutions to bridge this gap. Exploring the role of technology and raising awareness about its limitations were among the proposed solutions. By encouraging viewers to like and subscribe to the channel, they can stay informed about potential solutions and developments in this area. Liability Side of Retirement Planning: The liability side of retirement planning, specifically healthcare cost planning, was highlighted as a critical aspect often overlooked. Evaluating costs and liabilities, just as one would with revenue and assets, is vital for comprehensive financial planning. Attendees acknowledged the importance of understanding expenses, including potential declines and increases, throughout retirement, highlighting the need for careful budgeting and personalized analysis. By subscribing to the channel, viewers can gain valuable insights into the liability side of retirement planning and ensure they are adequately prepared for potential healthcare costs in their retirement years. Technology and Complexity: The limitations of current technology in accommodating the nuances of spending in retirement were discussed. Although some platforms exist, they often fail to account for the real basis of spending, declining patterns, and rising healthcare expenses. The complexity involved in retirement spending necessitates a deeper understanding and personalized approach that technology struggles to provide. By staying connected with the channel, viewers can stay up to date with the latest developments in retirement planning technology and gain insights into how to navigate the complexities of retirement spending. Conclusion: The conference conversation shed light on the significance of the planning process, the need for tailored advice, and the challenges faced in retirement planning.

Over the past few years, America's schools have become a battleground in our national politics. Debates about how we teach history and explore issues of race in school have become flashpoints at every level, from school boards to the Oval Office. And there's one phrase that's become particularly attached to this tension: “critical race theory.” Those three words have catapulted from the depths of legal academia into the center of partisan politics. But as Danielle Holley-Walker, dean of Howard University Law School and American Council on Education Fellow at Brown University, explains on this episode of Trending Globally, what people today are describing as critical race theory has little to do with its original meaning. And misappropriation of the phrase isn't just a careless mistake; its use (and misuse) is part of a calculated backlash against social movements that have gained momentum in recent years. On this episode, Sarah talks with Danielle about how the phrase has transformed from a complex legal concept into a conservative talking point, and what that transformation can tell us about race, education, and politics in America today. https://www.newyorker.com/news/annals-of-inquiry/how-a-conservative-activist-invented-the-conflict-over-critical-race-theory (Read the New Yorker's 2021 profile of Christopher Rufo). https://watson.brown.edu/news/podcasts (Learn more about the Watson Institute's other podcasts).
Happy National Catholic Schools Week!Robert Mixa, Education Fellow at Bishop Barron's Word on Fire Institute, sits down with Nick and Tyler to discuss how to re-enchant Catholic education. Catholic schools are meant to participate directly and in a privileged way in the evangelizing mission of the Church, so how do we avoid becoming just secular institutions with religion tacked on as an after-thought? Mixa offers a compelling vision for how to re-engage students, teachers, and parents with the beauty of Catholic education through wonder, mystery, and just plain good pedagogy. If you love Catholic schools like we do, tune in to be re-inspired by the "what" and "why" of Catholic education.SHOW HIGHLIGHTSWhat is beauty and how do you train students to appreciate it?How has modern education become "ugly" or non-aesthetic?Lady Gaga's Poker Face or Beethoven's 9th?Why is mystery an effective way to begin class?What is the role of the liturgy in education?What are some effective models or plans of education?Why you should start watching some Polish films and reading some Polish poetry!LINKSRobert Mixa's personal website/blog: www.robertmixa.comRobert Mixa's work at Word on Fire: Robert Mixa, Author at Word on FireThe Dekalog TV series directed by Krzyszstof KieslowskiEducational Plan of St. JeromeReligious Parenting by Christian SmithFive Proofs of the Existence of God by Ed FeserThe Art of Teaching by Gilbert HighetLeave us a Review!Take a few seconds and write a positive review on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

With about 700 pregnancy-related deaths every year, the United States has the worst maternal mortality rates among developed countries.One response to this crisis has been the creation of state and local maternal mortality review committees (MMRCs), which are multidisciplinary committees that examine the context in which maternal deaths occur.The October 2021 issue of Health Affairs is focused on the topic of perinatal mental health. MMRC reports provide a treasure trove of information that can help us understand the role perinatal mental health plays in maternal mortality and what it might take to achieve better results.Susanna Trost, an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, joins Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil on A Health Podyssey to discuss addressing perinatal mental health as a factor in maternal mortality.Trost and co-authors published a paper in the October 2021 issue of Health Affairs analyzing data from 14 state and local MMRCs regarding pregnancy-related maternal death. Studying these determinations from 2008 to 2017, they identified the characteristics of, and factors contributing to, pregnancy-related deaths caused by mental health conditions, including substance use disorder.They found that mental health conditions are the underlying cause of nearly one-in-nine pregnancy-related deaths, all of which were considered preventable by MMRCs. This episode is sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania's Master of Health Care Innovation.If you like this interview, order the October Perinatal Mental Health Theme Issue.Subscribe: RSS | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Google Podcasts
In June 2020, Grattan Institute published a report called COVID catch-up: helping disadvantaged students close the equity gap. What we didn't know was the impact this report would go on to have across Australia. One year later, half-a-billion dollars of funding has been dedicated to tutoring programs from both NSW and Victorian governments, and students are now getting the very real support they need. It's proof of the power of good policy research to change Australia for the better. Join Kat Clay, Head of Digital Communications, Jordana Hunter, Education Program Director, and Julie Sonnemann, Education Fellow, as they chart the course of this impactful report – and where education policy can go from here.

Young Americans, aged 18-29, believe that the threat from climate change is real regardless of their ideological leanings, compared to older Americans. Recent polling shows that Republican voters, born after 1980, are much more likely than older Republicans to think that government efforts to reduce climate change have been insufficient (52% vs. 31%). In this episode, we ask: can the youngest generation of voters put aside partisan differences and agree on policies needed to protect climate and the environment as well as address the needs of businesses and the economy? We discuss the role of government, business, and how to find on common ground. Our guests are Danielle Butcher, a conservative political executive and a leader of the American Conservation Coalition, and a liberal, Andrew Brennen, who is a National Geographic Explorer and Education Fellow, who co-founded the Kentucky Student Voice Team.
As Catholic education month wraps up, we take some time to visit with Robert Mixa, Education Fellow with Bishop Robert Barron's Word on Fire Institute, chatting about introducing students to the scapegoating philosophy of Rene Girard in the classroom. Show Snippet: "Whenever I go to Mass, I always think of Girard when I start with acknowledging myself as a sinner...that's like the first step then to actually hear the gospel well and then to commune with Christ."

McDonald also addresses “wokeism” and liberal activism being taught in schools and promoted by the Biden Administration.
Jonathan Butcher, Education Fellow at the Heritage Institute, talks about the Biden administrations push to teach kids prejudice.

In this episode Vic is joined by Robbie Llyod and Alex Jolly to talk about Project Wingman – an insitu simulation program in the UK that involves airline pilots as co-debriefers and coaches. Robbie is an emergency medicine senior trainee and fellow podcaster (check out Pondermed) who is undertaking a year as an Education Fellow at the Whittington hospital . Captain Alex Jolly is an airline pilot who is UK based. The program has brought marvellous insights to the clinicians in terms of teamwork behaviours and shaping culture. It emerged from the @_ProjectWingman initiative which involves airline crew coming together to support the well-being of frontline NHS staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. They suggest healthcare simulation educators need to ‘just do it’, learn as we go, and celebrate the fresh perspectives from outside our own world. Happy listening

On today's episode we feature two conversations: First is a discussion with Jill Vialet, founder and CEO of Playworks, who opened Chautauqua's week of lectures on "The Art of Play" on July 9. Then, Chautauqua Theater Company Artistic Director Andrew Borba sits with playwright Chelsea Marcantel and champion air guitarist Matt "Airistotle" Burns. Chelsea's newest play, Airness, is about air guitar competitions — CTC's production of Airness runs July 14 to 29 on the Bratton Theater stage. Jill Vialet is founder and CEO of Playworks, a nonprofit that operates on a belief “in the power of play to bring out the best in every kid.” From its beginnings in two schools in Berkeley, California, Playworks has grown to a staff of 700 and now reaches about 900,000 students in 23 regions around the United States, and is present within 1,800 schools and organizations. During the 2015–16 school year, Jill was an Education Fellow at Stanford’s d.school — very familiar to us at Chautauqua — where she launched a new project called Substantial, re-designing the way we recruit, train, and support substitute teachers. Prior to Playworks, Jill founded, and was the executive director for nine years, of the Museum of Children’s Art (MOCHA) in Oakland, California. Follow her on Twitter at @jillvialet, and read The Chautauquan Daily's recap of her Amphitheater lecture here: http://chqdaily.com…. Chelsea Marcantel is the playwright behind Airness, and also Everything is Wonderful, Ladyish, Devour and Tiny Houses, which CTC produced as part of its New Play Workshop in 2016. Airness was recently honored with the 2018 Elizabeth Osborn New Play Award by the American Theatre Critics Association. Matt Burns is a special guest at Chautauqua this week — he is a waiter and world-class competitive air guitarist living in New York City. Matt decided to try air-rocking almost a decade ago when he saw the documentary Air Guitar Nation, and has since become a two-time champion at Air Guitar World Championship. Follow them on Twitter at @AChelseaDay and @aYo_MattBurns. CTC produces Airness from July 14 to 29 in Bratton Theater — click here to purchase tickets.
