Randy Laist, professor of English at Goodwin University and the University of Bridgeport, has a new edited volume focusing specifically on popular culture and the 1980s. The essays in The '80s Resurrected: Essays on the Decade in Popular Culture Then and Now (McFarland, 2023) approach this theme from a number of disciplinary perspectives, global positions, as well as a wide variety of pop cultural artifacts. Laist's effort in bringing together these essays was not just about reflecting on the 1980s, and particularly how the 1980s seems to be quite present in contemporary popular culture, but also because of the way that the 1980s has shaped our current political environment. The ‘80s Resurrected includes chapters on different media engagement and different issues that are fleshed out from different artifacts—including video games, film, television, dolls, and music. The ideas that these chapters dive into include questions of race, gender, class, sexuality, LGBTQ+, neoliberalism, misogyny, representation, and nationalism. There is much in this compilations of chapters that explores the nostalgic impulses that toggle between our contemporary moment and the Decade of Reagan and Thatcher, and how the political and economic impulses of that time have shaped our lives today. Many of the chapters also peel back the gloss of the foregrounded ideas of the 1980s, which highlighted white middle-class perspectives in mass culture. Many of the nostalgic ideas about the 1980s cover up the disturbing other side of the decade, with the war on drugs, the rise of the carceral state, AIDS/HIV, sexism and racism in the workplace all as parts of this same decade that is often seen as an era of shoulder pads, pussy bows, neon colors, body building, and swagger. The ‘80s Resurrected: Essays on the Decade in Popular Culture Then and Now brings the reader along in considering how ideas like “making America great again” are connected to our thinking about the arbitrary construction of the importance of delineating decades and the impact they may have on our concept of ourselves and the nation state. As we discuss in the interview, even defining particular decades against each other is rather arbitrary, and to then weight those individual decades with various kinds of import further contributes to this artificial framing. Even so, it is hard to break out of this construction, and The ‘80s Resurrected examines why this particular bracket of time, which is also marked by the elections of Ronald Reagan in the United States and Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the decade and the fall of communism at the end of the decade, remains important to our understanding of history, politics, culture, ideology, economics, and concepts of self and nation. This is an engaging and fascinating assortment of chapters by a global collection of scholars. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the Think UDL podcast: UDL University with Nicole Brewer, Randy Laist, and Dana Sheehan. Nicole Brewer is an Assistant Professor of Humanities and a Literacy Specialist at Ana Maria College in Massachusetts. Randy Laist is a Professor of English at Goodwin University and the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. And, Dana Sheehan is an Assistant Professor of English and the Director of the Writing Center, also at Ana Maria College. This is my first podcast with three guests, and it is power packed with UDL ideas from their book UDL University: Designing for Variability Across the Curriculum. All three authors worked together at Goodwin University and through a great UDL initiative have incorporated UDL into their teaching. In this episode we talk about how UDL has transformed their teaching and hear several examples of how to leverage the diversity of learners for everyone's gain. I also think it is a great encouragement to hear how UDL has been applied in a faculty learning community first, and then across the entire curriculum. Thank you for listening and a special thank you to the folks at the UDLHE Network for their financial support of the Think UDL podcast!

CBIA BizCast host Ali Warshavsky speaks with Melanie Hoben, director of workforce development at East Hartford-based Goodwin University. Goodwin is playing a key role leading workforce development initiatives, and is the only school in Connecticut to receive a U.S. Closing the Skills Gap Grant to upskill incumbent workers. In addition, Hoben said Goodwin uses a 44-foot trailer as a mobile lab to introduce middle and high school students to manufacturing and provide training to manufacturers throughout Connecticut. “This mobile lab, that we also take to the kids, we take to manufacturing facilities and have trained 1,600-2000 employees in the last four years,” said Hoben.

Mark Scheinberg is undoubtedly one of New England's top educational entrepreneurs. Scheinberg, who essentially built East Hartford Connecticut-based Goodwin University from scratch, has emerged as a leading voice on adult education and workforce development in his region. He has made several big moves recently including the transition from Goodwin College to Goodwin University and his recent $32 million purchase of the University of Bridgeport. The University of Bridgeport acquisition gives Goodwin a substantial statewide footprint and opens up wide ranging opportunities for program expansion. In this episode which is the second of a two-part conversation with Scheinberg, we learn more about the University of Bridgeport acquisition. We also get Mark's take on what leaders need to stay focused on these days and why he so enjoys mentoring emerging entrepreneurs.

When in 1982, 24-year-old budding entrepreneur Mark Scheinberg paid $30,000 for the little-known, for-profit business school Data Institute in Hartford, CT., little did anyone imagine how the story would play out. Over the ensuing 40 years, Scheinberg has led an extraordinary transformation. A transformation signaled by a name change—first to Goodwin College and then Goodwin University, a change in legal status—to nonprofit, and, with the recent acquisition of the University of Bridgeport, a substantial expansion of the institution's offerings and footprint. Goodwin University has clearly come of age. In the first of a two-part episode, we get Mark's take on the school's remarkable evolution including the essential strategies and key decision points that help explain the success. We also get a window into the mindset of this uniquely savvy and strategic leader and entrepreneur who cares deeply about his community and his students.

Manufacturing jobs like industrial engineering and mechanical engineering technicians are projected to increase between 15% and nearly 30% by 2026, fetching an annual salary of around $65,000, according to the Connecticut Department of Labor. These jobs don't require a traditional four-year college degree. And there are opportunities for students to go to trade school while they're finishing high school. The drumbeat from employers and local leaders has been how to attract and train new workers to support a key sector in the state economy. There's money pouring in to enable this. This year, Connecticut was one of only five states to receive a U.S. Department of Labor $10 million State Apprenticeship grant. The Connecticut Manufacturing Innovation Fund Advisory Board recently approved $8.3 million to support new and established programs in Connecticut's manufacturing sector, including an advertising campaign to highlight career opportunities in manufacturing. And, the Connecticut Small Business Development Center, hosted at the UConn School of Business, received one of four federal grants, to operate a national Advanced Manufacturing Center. The $2 million grant will give assistance to minority-owned businesses to help them expand. This hour on Where We Live, we hear from a high-school student who's earning college credits in manufacturing, a young woman who's working on the shop floor, a manufacturer, academia, and the state. And, we find out more about what's being done to attract more women to the industry, including minority owned businesses.

The U.S. military mission in Afghanistan ended Aug 31 with 123,000 evacuations, including 6,000 American citizens and tens of thousands of at-risk Afghans. But not everyone got out. Refugee settlement organizations in Connecticut expect to receive more than 700 Afghan refugees this year. The University of Bridgeport and Goodwin University announced plans to open up dorms to the newly arrived immigrants, and also offer English lessons. A Congressional aide to U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) told WWL that the senator's office “has worked on over 100 cases for Connecticut residents who have reached out to the office regarding family members who remain in Afghanistan. These cases often involve multiple family members, some of whom served as interpreters for the U.S. government.” According to Patrick Malone, spokesman for Congressman Jim Himes (D-Connecticut): “We've flagged 702 individuals' situations for the Department of State. This includes American citizens, Legal Permanent Residents, SIVs, P1s, P2s, and otherwise at-risk Afghans -- 270 of those 702 individuals have some Connecticut connection.” Today on Where We Live, we look into the ongoing efforts to extricate and resettle Afghan refugees in Connecticut, and hear from Afghan-Americans whose families are in danger half a world away.

Podcast Summary Dr. Drumm McNaughton interviews Dr. Danielle Wilken, the new president at the University of Bridgeport, about the changing plans that have allowed the university to survive through a partnership with Goodwin University. Podcast Highlights Change efforts are not set in stone, so expect things to evolve. This happened with University of Bridgeport, which was slated to be consumed by three area universities. However, when one university withdrew from the deal, the University of Bridgeport got a new lease on life through working with Goodwin University. These types of partnerships create the opportunity to leverage best practices and efficiencies. Transparency is critical when going through major change. This transparency needs to extend to faculty and staff, students, former students, community members, accreditors, and policymakers. Click here to read the full show notes. Resources Dr. Drumm McNaughton provides governance consulting; strategic planning, implementation, and change management consulting, and accreditation consulting for higher ed institutions.  The Change Leader's Social Media Links Website: https://changinghighered.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdrumm/ Twitter: @thechangeldr Email: podcast@changinghighered.com
