"I used to think I had it all together—until I saw my own Facebook post saying I was studying in the library the same semester I failed every class." This brutally honest, powerful, and uplifting Detroit is Different episode features Shawntae Harris Mintline, Detroit Center Director for Grand Valley State University's OMNI program, who shares her incredible story of resilience through housing insecurity, financial struggle, and academic burnout. From couch surfing through the Great Recession to eventually earning multiple degrees and shaping innovative higher ed solutions, Shawntae breaks down how navigating systemic gaps turned her into an empathetic, radically student-centered leader. With raw reflections on poverty (“It costs more to be poor”), emotional truths about being a first-gen college student, and sharp insights into building support systems for adults with unfinished degrees, Shawntae shows how lived experience becomes expertise. Hosted by Khary Frazier, this episode is a masterclass in how personal transformation meets institutional change—with Montell Jordan playing in the background and a trip to Bert's BBQ sealing the Detroit stamp of approval. Tune in to hear why Grand Valley's Detroit Center is not just another campus—it's a place where doors open, people say “yes,” and education bends to meet you where you are.

The Trump administation has revoked visas of hundreds of international students across the nation. An unspecified number of students at Michigan State University and Central Michigan University have had their visas revoked. Two students at Grand Valley State University, four at Wayne State, one at Eastern Michigan University, and twelve enrolled students and ten graduates of the University of Michigan have also been affected. The reasons are not clear. The Trump administration says it’s focused on students who are – in the words of Secretary Marco Rubio — “Hamas supporters." Today we’re going to talk about the crackdown on campus speech, and other ways the Trump administration has silenced voices of dissent opposing the war in Gaza. GUEST: Huwaida Arraf is an attorney who has done legal work representing some of the students who protested Israel’s war in Gaza on the U-M campus.

Hi folks,If you're a long-term listener, you know this show often takes long, multi-week breaks. This break has been much longer than normal, and will likely continue for a few months. What's going on?Right now, I have one goal on my mind: to find a new, permanent job.My three-year contract at Grand Valley State University will end in April. I knew this going in, and it's public information, so don't worry about any dirt being spilled. In the past three months I have applied for dozens of jobs, and that number will double before year's end.Each application takes time. I also have a full teaching schedule and I'm supervising undergraduate research. In short, there's simply no time to make the show right now.I don't know where I'll be in six months, and that's honestly a very stressful situation. But things are looking up- I've had a few interviews, and jobs are still being posted.When I find a permanent position, hopefully by early 2025, I will let you all know and finally return to Bedrock, both the show and in my own life. In the meantime, thank you as always for your patience and enthusiasm. If you've finished the show, you can recommend it to a science-curious friend. You can always drop a line at bedrock.mailbox@gmail.com, it always makes my day.See you next time, whenever that may be.

This podcast originally dropped on December 17, 2015.  If we had the reverb and the talent, we'd introduce this week's podcast like one of those guys touting a monster truck event on "SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY." Because this week we're talking about Big History–and calling it Big is actually kind of an understatement. That's because practitioners of Big History, like today's guest Craig Benjamin, begin a history survey not with Mesopotamia, or ancient China, or even homo sapiens squeaking past homo neanderthalis. No, they begin with the Big Bang...which happened quite some time before there were any humans around to enjoy the show. Big History says that, to understand human history--and humanity--it's first necessary to begin appreciating the size and complexity of the entire universe. In doing that, the argument goes, we will begin to improve ourselves morally and spiritually; or, failing that, we'll have a really fantastic general education course. Please note that these are two very different outcomes. With us to talk about these outcomes, and to give a lightning fast overview of Big History "from the Big Bang to you" is Craig Benjamin. He is associate professor of history at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan Craig is president (for just one-and-a-half more weeks, he tells me) of the World History Society; he's also a charter member of the International Big History Association. In fact, he's probably the second person ever to teach a course on Big History. As you'll hear, he's a great person to have a chat with; hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

When faced with a choice between legal and illegal, why do some consumers still choose the latter?

That includes thoughts and emotions. This is the raging fire of love thing. I think we need to cultivate love for people who are different from us. That means moving our emotions in a favorable way towards people who are different. And it means giving up our fear and learning to overcome our fear with love. Thoughts On Breathing I do not have any thoughts to share on breathing. I am too ADD. I have tried it. I know it's good for me, and I do it for a while, but then I'm off into something else. Bullying Story One of my first good friends in the Islamic community is a well-known philosopher who is on television a lot. In Turkey, religion gets on television a lot. It's involved in a lot of conversations that they have. Sometimes it's just religion, or sometimes it's on other topics, and they want a religious perspective on it. He has become a major media figure and has millions of followers. I thought it was opportune for me to become acquainted with him as I was trying to build bridges between Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Then I went to a conference one time. I flew a long way to get there to give a talk. He didn't come to my talk. He had given a talk the previous day and got mad at some people. He came at the end, and he gave a speech at the end that had nothing to do with my talk. He just denounced all the people he was mad at from the day before. I turned to my best Muslim friend there and asked what he was doing. He said he was getting back at people from the day before then. I just looked around, and there were hundreds of people there. I was probably the only non-Muslim, the only non-Turk. There were hundreds of people there. I could see people rolling their eyes. I talked to a few more people, and I just figured out, because there were other clues, that he was a bully.
