In this eye-opening episode of the Reflective Mind Podcast, host Dr. Jennifer Reid sits down with two leading researchers who've uncovered a troubling trend in the messages women are receiving about confidence. Dr. Shani Orgad (London School of Economics) and Dr. Rosalind Gill (Goldsmiths University) discuss their recent book, Confidence Culture, and reveal how our culture's constant messaging to women about building confidence—from beauty brands hiring "confidence ambassadors" to workplace programs promising empowerment—may actually be making things worse. As Dr. Orgad explains, "Confidence culture really encourages women to see themselves as held back by a lack of self-confidence rather than by structural inequalities, by barriers that are social, cultural and by social injustices."What You'll Discover:* Why the proliferation of "love yourself" and "believe in yourself" messages represents both a culture and a cult* How confidence imperatives shift blame from structural inequalities to individual women* The stark differences between confidence messaging aimed at men versus women* Why vulnerability culture on platforms like LinkedIn creates new pressures for women* What a "climate of confidence" could look like as an alternativeThe Research: The authors analyzed hundreds of texts, advertisements, workplace guides, and social media campaigns to document how confidence messaging has become ubiquitous—and problematic. Their findings show that while men receive confidence coaching focused on "mastery" and "performance," women are told to work on deep psychological transformation, often framed as "acts of self-love."Why This MattersThis conversation offers a crucial reframe for anyone who's ever felt that despite all the "empowerment" messaging around them, something still feels off. Whether you're a woman navigating workplace dynamics, a parent concerned about messages your children receive, or simply someone interested in understanding how cultural narratives shape our lives, this episode provides both validation and a path forward.The answer isn't more confidence coaching—it's changing the conditions that undermine confidence in the first place.Key QuotesOn the Paradox of Confidence Culture:"Precisely at the time where precarity and inequality are really rife and on the rise... when women are being disproportionately affected and injured by all these societal ills and structural inequalities, at that very same time, they're encouraged to harness somehow their individual resources to survive with grit, with resilience, with confidence."— Dr. Shani OrgadOn the Core Problem:"Confidence culture encourages women to fix themselves rather than to fix the world."— Dr. Shani OrgadOn Gender Differences:"For men, working on becoming confident was framed as a concerted effort and often kind of a short-lived... confidence project complete. By contrast, for women, working on the self is often presented as an ongoing project... it's a never-ending, bottomless pit project."— Dr. Shani OrgadOn Moving Forward:"We don't think about this as just a personal responsibility to overcome, but we actually see it as socially produced, culturally produced, affecting us all... and we put our energy into working towards a society where everyone can feel confident."— Dr. Rosalind GillAbout the GuestsDr. Shani Orgad is Professor of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She's the author of five books, including Heading Home: Motherhood, Work, and the Failed Promise of Equality.Dr. Rosalind Gill is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at Goldsmiths University of London. Her recent works include Gender in the Media, Mediated Intimacy, and Perfect: Feeling Judged on Social Media.Together, they co-authored Confidence Culture, a groundbreaking analysis of how modern society's confidence imperatives impact women and perpetuate inequality.Thanks for reading A Mind of Her Own and listening to The Reflective Mind Podcast!

The CANDLES museum in Terre Haute celebrates its 30th anniversary this week.Founded by Holocaust survivor Eva Mozes Kor, CANDLES, or Children of Auschwitz Nazi Deadly Lab Experiments Survivors, “strives to be a premier institution seeking progress in the creation of a world free from prejudice, hatred, and genocide.” Kor and her twin sister, Miriam Zeiger, endured medical experiments by Dr. Joseph Mengele, the infamous “Angel of Death, as children at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944. Their parents and older sister died there."Within 30 minutes, my whole family was ripped apart and all died, except for Miriam and me, who were used as human guinea pigs by Dr. Mengele," Kor said in 2017.Read more: Eva Kor's storyKor went on to champion forgiveness for those who carried out the Holocaust atrocities. And beginning in the 1970s, she began dedicating her life to educating people about the Holocaust and sharing survivor stories. And in 1995, she founded the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center.For more than two decades, she lectured about her experiences and guided tours at the museum. She returned to Auschwitz on numerous occasions, leading groups that could share what they had learned with their students and future generations. CANDLES continues these trips to Auschwitz each year in honor of Kor, who died in July 2019 during atrip to Poland for the museum.Read more: Holocaust Survivor, CANDLES Founder Eva Kor Dies At 85Kor's husband, Rachmiel “Mickey” Kor, was also a Holocaust survivor, spending four years in Nazi labor camps, including Buchenwald.

In this fascinating episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the groundbreaking work of Project Dhvani, a pioneering conservation initiative using bioacoustics to revolutionize how we understand and manage biodiversity in India's tropical landscapes. Host Anish sits down with Dr. Vijay Ramesh, co-founder of Project Dhvani, to discuss how animal vocalization and animal sounds captured through passive remote sensing can reveal vital insights into the state of ecosystems, land-use changes, and the success of forest restoration projects.Project Dhvani began as a research collaboration between Dr. Ramesh, Dr. Pooja Choksi, and Dr. Sarika Kanwikar during their PhD studies at Columbia University. Their shared mission? Remote sensing technology, particularly passive acoustic monitoring, must be used to track biodiversity and conservation patterns across human-dominated and natural landscapes. Today, their work has grown into a multi-regional network, spanning Central India and the Tropical Western Ghats, two critical biodiversity hotspots.Why Sound Matters in Conservation TechBioacoustics, the science of using sound to monitor and interpret ecological activity, has become a cornerstone of modern conservation technology. From birds and insects to amphibians and mammals, many animals communicate through vocalizations that provide clues about their presence, abundance, and behavior. By deploying audio recorders in various habitats—restored forests, degraded lands, and agricultural plots—Project Dhvani is building a rich archive of animal vocalizations that help scientists analyze ecosystem processes in unprecedented ways.This episode explores how bioacoustic monitoring not only reveals species diversity but also helps evaluate the effectiveness of reforestation and ecological balance strategies. For example, Dr. Ramesh and his team have discovered significantly higher bird diversity in restored areas compared to degraded or unrestored ones—a hopeful signal that habitat loss can be reversed through thoughtful ecosystem management.From AI to Acoustic Networks: The Next Generation of Conservation TechnologyDr. Ramesh highlights how advances in remote sensing and AI-powered acoustic analysis are transforming the field. Platforms like Merlin and BirdNET, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, are now enabling researchers and the general public alike to identify bird species by simply recording ambient sounds on their smartphones. This democratization of bioacoustic tools has major implications for sustainable land management and public engagement in conservation.Moreover, Project Dhvani isn't just about research—it's also about building a broader network of professionals committed to biodiversity conservation in India. The initiative is laying the groundwork for a national forum that brings together academics, civil society, and policymakers to scale up the use of conservation tech across India's varied ecosystems.Acoustic Insights into Land-Use Change and Tropical EcologyOne of the most compelling aspects of this conversation is the application of bioacoustics to study land-use change in tropical regions. By comparing soundscapes in organic and traditionally managed coffee farms, Project Dhvani is uncovering how different agricultural practices impact biodiversity management. These insights can inform more environmentally friendly farming techniques that align economic livelihoods with ecological health.India's vast and diverse environments offer fertile ground for remote sensing technology. However, Dr. Ramesh points out that most acoustic monitoring has focused on terrestrial habitats, with marine ecosystems remaining largely unexplored. Expanding bioacoustic research into marine environments could open new frontiers for biodiversity and conservation efforts.Challenges and Opportunities in Bioacoustic MonitoringWhile the future is promising, Project Dhvani faces its share of challenges. Funding constraints remain a major hurdle for research and long-term monitoring efforts. Additionally, there's a pressing need for more locally produced hardware to make bioacoustic tools more accessible across the Global South. Despite these obstacles, the team remains optimistic, fueled by growing interest from interdisciplinary collaborators and private sector supporters committed to advancing conservation technology.Dr. Ramesh emphasizes the importance of collaboration—not only with fellow scientists but also with citizens, NGOs, and government agencies. By pooling resources and knowledge, the conservation community can scale up passive remote sensing initiatives to safeguard ecosystems under threat from climate change, urbanization, and deforestation.A Call to Action: Join the Soundscape RevolutionListeners interested in contributing to Project Dhvani's mission can do so in multiple ways. Whether you're a student, a tech enthusiast, or a professional in the private sector, there's room to collaborate. As biodiversity conservation becomes increasingly intertwined with technology, the need for innovative minds and diverse perspectives has never been greater.By decoding the symphony of life through sound, Project Dhvani is forging a path toward more inclusive, data-driven, and ecologically sensitive management of India's natural heritage. Tune in to discover how animal sounds and acoustic signatures can become powerful tools in the fight to preserve the planet's most fragile ecosystems.Key Topics Covered:* The science and promise of bioacoustics* The role of passive remote sensing in ecosystem monitoring* Impacts of forest restoration on animal vocalization patterns* AI in conservation: BirdNET and Merlin as tools for engagement* Case studies from Central India and the Tropical Western Ghats* Addressing land-use change, habitat loss, and climate change* Building a national network for biodiversity managementSuggested Listening Companion: Stick around after the episode for Anish's recommended reads on ecological balance and rewilding, including:* Rewilding: The Radical New Science of Ecological Recovery by Paul Jepson and Cain Blythe* Rewilding Africa: The Restoration of Wilderness on a War-Ravaged Continent* Wilder: How Rewilding is Transforming Conservation and Changing the WorldMeet the HostAnish Banerjee: https://x.com/anishwildlifeThink Wildlife Foundation: https://thinkwildlifefoundation.com/Meet the GuestsDr. Vijay Ramesh: https://vijayramesh.com/posts/2024-04-14-conservation-bioacoustics/Project Dhvani: https://e3b.columbia.edu/field-notes/project-dhvani/Recommended Wildlife Conservation BooksWildlife Conservation in India by HS Pabla: https://amzn.to/3Ypx9ZhIndian Mammals: A Field Guide by Vivek Menon: https://amzn.to/4fhMiCLAt the Feet of Living Things by Aparajita Datta: https://amzn.to/3BZmtsN#bioacoustic #bioacoustics #animalvocalization #animalsounds #remotesensing #passiveremotesensing #remotesensingtechnology #conservationtech #conservationtechnology #forestrestoration #reforestation #climatechange #tropicalecology #ecologicalbalance #ecosystemprocesses #landusechange #habitatloss #ecosystemmanagement #sustainablelandmanagement #biodiversityandconservation #biodiversitymanagement #biodiversityconservation #biodiversityhotspot Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

The gharial, a Critically Endangered species, is an unmistakable crocodilian on the edge of extinction. Recognizable by its long, slender jaws adapted for catching fish, males have a distinctive bulbous growth on their snouts called a "ghara," which is named after a traditional Indian pot. This unique feature is also the basis for the species' common name, "gharial." Unlike other crocodiles, gharials exhibit a marked difference between males and females.Once widespread throughout the Indian subcontinent, the gharial now survives in only five small, isolated populations across India and Nepal. The IUCN Red List classifies the gharial as Critically Endangered due to drastic population declines—up to 98% since the 1940s—leaving fewer than 250 adult individuals in the wild. Major threats to the species include severe degradation of riverine habitats caused by dams, barrages, irrigation canals, and artificial embankments. Additionally, sand mining negatively impacts their habitat, disrupting the breeding ecology critical for their survival.Join Dr. Gaurav Vashistha, the founder of the Gharial Conservation Programme at Katerniaghat, one of the last strongholds of the gharials. We talk about the ecology and conservation of the gharials, covering the various reintroduction efforts around India!The Think Wildlife Podcast is also available on iTunes, Spotify and YouTube.

The Asiatic Lion is probably India's finest conservation miracles. With less than 100 individuals remaining in the wild in the 1960s, the population has skyrocketed with an estimated 600-800 lions roaming the forests of Saurashtra. In 2018, over 50 lions were lost due to an outbreak of the canine distemper disease. Moreover, the range of the Gir lion has spread well beyond the forests of Gir National Park, with prides often found wandering urban landscapes in Saurashtra. This poses a risk of human-lion conflict, which till now has been relatively limited.In Episode 6 of The Think Wildlife Podcast, I am joined by India's leading lion biologist, Dr. Venkatraman, the founder of Carnivore Conservation and Research. She has over 20 years of experience as a wildlife biologists and studied the behavioural ecology of the Asiatic Lion. We talk about her intriguing work on lion ecology and conservation.

Today we're joined by Meredith Broussard. Meredith is a data journalist whose research and reporting centers on ethical AI and data analysis for the social good. She's an associate professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and research director at the NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology. And she's an author, including writing Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World and the recently released More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech.We invited Meredith on to specifically talk about the intersection of the recent rapid growth of consumer-focused generative AI, such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, etc. as well as their integrations into commonly used education tools like Microsoft Office and soon, Google Documents. And I know that many educators are already worried about the implications of AI in classrooms…but it's going to be quite jarring when Google Docs has a built-in AI text prompt. In our view, we'll need to find ways to talk about AI and technology more broadly with students, guiding them in the use of these platforms and problematizing them — as opposed to just banning them outright.GuestsDr. Meredith Broussard, associate professor at the Arthur L.

In 1946, 153 "Moses Cleaveland Trees" were chosen as landmark trees to represent the City of Cleveland's 150-yr anniversary. Not only did they harken back to the pre-settlement forest - they were in fact part of it. The existence of each one became hazy over time, until a group organized by the City and the Early Settlers Association set out to find them again. Do they still survive?

Has the education revolution begun in Texas? Republicans have made “educational freedom” a priority in Austin this legislative session and there is now a bill they say does just that. SB 8 would provide $8,000 for families to move their children from public schools to private schools. But critics wonder who will be holding private schools accountable since public schools are held to a different standard, as they're judged by standardized testing and private schools are not. And SB 8 goes far beyond educational savings accounts (ESAs), from requiring “age appropriate” content to having teachers upload lesson plans to a portal so parents can review them. In this episode of Y'all-itics, you'll hear from the Executive Director of the public school advocacy group Raise Your Hand Texas. Dr. Michelle Smith explains why she thinks the bill is an attack on urban school districts. And to learn more about where the dollars will come from and behind-the-scenes political maneuvering, we head straight to the bill's author, state Senator Brandon Creighton. The Republican chair of the Senate Education Committee explains why he thinks SB 8, and its companion bill SB 9, will lift up public schools, teachers and perhaps most importantly, Texas parents and students.GuestsDr. Michelle Smith, Raise Your Hand Texas Exec.

Because it is so well researched and presented, Cutting School: The Segrenomics of American Education, is a frustrating read. To tell the story of privatization, segregation, & the end of public education requires a massive cast. In her book Dr. Noliwe Rooks, my guest today, runs a precise thread from Reconstruction, Nelson Rockefeller, & Brown v Board through to Milton Friedman, every president in my lifetime, Teach for America, KIPP charter schools, Mark Zuckerberg, & more. Segrenomics has the kind of power that will be viewed with suspicion in states most impacted by it which are cracking down on theoretical frameworks that attempt to provide structural, systemic explanations. An interdisciplinary scholar, Noliwe Rooks' is the chair of and a professor in Africana Studies at Brown University and the founding director of the Segrenomics Lab at the school. Her work explores how race and gender both impact and are impacted by popular culture, social history and political life in the United States. She works on the cultural and racial implications of beauty, fashion and adornment; race, capitalism and education, and the urban politics of food and cannabis production.GuestsDr. Noliwe Rooks is a professor and chair of Africana Studies at Brown University and the founding director of the Segrenomics Lab. Her research focuses on the interplay between race, gender, popular culture, social history and political life in the US. She is the author of four books and numerous articles, essays and op-eds.

Full interview with Marissa Bello PhD and Darryn Willoughby PhD FISSN3:10 – The lowdown on rep ranges; do you need high loads for hypertrophy7:05 – Dr Willoughby thinks this focus on sets and reps is a bit convoluted. There's much more to it than that.  7:47 – These acute bout studies barely tell a story; nobody trains that way anyhow10:05 – The need or utility of doing reps to failure14:27 – Compound vs isolation movements; effect on skeletal muscle hypertrophy. 23:20 – Periodization question: all phases produce hypertrophy. Why is there only one phase called “hypertrophy.” Why periodization often can't be used in sports.27:45 – So many training studies. But nobody trains that way! Is there a value to these studies? Even a little bit?35:15 – The acute changes in plasma T and cortisol.  Any relevance to training adaptations?43:30 -  T boosters – these little blips in plasma T – a scam or what?47:46 – SARMs – selective androgen receptor modulators – useful or not?51:10 – Sex and age differences in the training response vis a vis hypertrophy58:36 – Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?Our special guestsDr. Marissa Bello PhD, CSCS*D is a current visiting instructor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

This conversation comes at an interesting time in the broader context of the future of education. In the wake of progress 8 results in the UK and NAEP scores in the United States, there appears to be a narrowing of educational possibilities toward a very particular model of schooling, or at least a model whose proponents have been the loudest in proclaiming victory. It has has gone by many names over the years but recently solidified under the umbrella of #ResearchEd or the “science of learning”. The claim here is that we understand and agree upon the ends of education - that is to raise standardized achievement scores - and it's simply a matter of aligning the means around “what works” to close gaps, raise scores - and at least in the context of pandemic schooling since 2020 - combat & reverse “learning loss”. “What works” of course, is the reiteration of adult authority with a laser focus on high expectations and results, the centrality of explicit/direct instruction, and above all a strict approach to school discipline. It's a model listeners in the United States might associate with Doug Lemov's Teach Like a Champion and listeners in the UK with Katharine Birbalsingh's Michaela School, where I imagine the notion of a self-directed education would be greeted with the same incredulity as geocentrism. Bolstered by these measures of success in national contexts, this model is increasingly decontextualized and exported as the solution to educational ills the world over.GUESTSDr. Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist and mother of two self-directed learners. She has a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a PhD in Developmental Cognitive Psychology, focusing on autism. She combines years of hands-on experience of self-directed education with an in-depth knowledge of the psychology of learning and well-being.

On today's podcast we are joined by Dr. Antonia Darder. Antonia is an internationally recognized activist-scholar and Professor Emerita at Loyola Marymount University, where for more than a decade she held the Levey Presidential Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership. Spanning over 4 decades, she has worked to counter social and material inequities in schools and society, including through critical scholarship, activism, and authoring books such as Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power, and Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States. Further, she wrote and produced a student-community driven, award-winning documentary, The Pervasiveness of Oppression.In this episode, we talk about combating inequitable and inhospitable notions of the school system: from radical individualism which co-opts how students view themselves, each other, and society at-large, to corporate forces that shape policy and curriculum which damage learning outcomes. Instead, we can create a "pedagogy of love" which focuses on care, well-being, meaning-making, and democracy.GUESTSDr. Antonia Darder is an activist, scholar, and professor at Loyola Marymount University, and author of various works and critical scholarship including Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power, and Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States.RESOURCESAntonia Darder's websiteAntonia Darder's bookstoreRadio and the Art of Resistance: A Public Pedegogy of the Airwaves by Antonia DarderTeaching as an Act of Love: Reflections on Paulo Freire and His Contributions to Our Lives and Our Work by Antonia Darder Hosted on Acast.

Y'all-itics: August 28, 2022After nearly 50-years, America is finally returning to the Moon, as Artemis 1 is scheduled to launch Monday, August 29, 2022. The ambitious, 42-day-long mission will be the first time NASA uses Orion, the new spacecraft built to take humans back to the moon. While no astronauts will be on board this mission, it is step one in getting Americans back on the moon by 2024. And the ultimate goal is Mars, moving far beyond the flags and footprints from the original Apollo missions. In this exciting episode of Y'all-itics, the Jasons call up NASA astronaut Dr. Stanley Love, who talks about the importance of this mission, particularly as a moment of unity in our country. NASA's Chief of Exploration Mission Planning Nujoud Merancy also details the massive amount of work that's formed the backbone of the mission. And the systems engineer explains how this all leads to Mars.Artemis 1 mission: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/artemis-i/GuestsDr. Stanley LoveNASA AstronautNujoud MerancyChief, NASA Exploration Mission Planning

I was introduced to Nick Sousanis' work through a Twitter connection, shout out to @AndrewJ, as I wanted to spend more time over the summer with what are broadly called graphic novels. Probably like many listeners, I had read comic books as they appeared in pop culture over the years, The Dark Tower adaptation, the Walking Dead, even “classic” graphic novels, I suppose, like Alan Moore's Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. As a history major, I read the first book of Maus in college. but other than that I never really knew where to go from there. Now, just last month, I had a friend recommend Marjan Sahtrapi's Persepolis, a graphic memoir of her childhood before, during, and after the Iranian Revolution. I borrowed it from the library, read it in a single sitting, and was hooked. So I immediately put a call out on Twitter on where to go from there and got dozens of suggestions. I've spent the rest of the summer catching up on a number of graphic memoirs including the March Trilogy, The Best We Could Do, and Fun Home. Then came Nick Sousanis' Unflattening. Nick Sousanis is an Eisner-winning comics author and an associate professor of Humanities & Liberal Studies at San Francisco State University, where he runs a Comics Studies program. He received his doctorate in education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2014, where he wrote and drew his dissertation entirely in comic book form. Titled Unflattening, it argues for the importance of visual thinking in teaching and learning, and was published by Harvard University Press in 2015. Unflattening received the 2016 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE Award) in Humanities, the Lynd-Ward Prize for best Graphic Novel of 2015, and was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Scholarly/Academic work. To date, Unflattening has been translated into French, Korean, Portuguese, Serbian, Polish, Italian, and Chinese.There is an irony here that we are going to attempt to discuss these very visually linked ideas in an audio podcast, but I will also provide links to the excerpts of Unflattening that are available on Nick's website.GUESTSDr. Nick Sousanis, Eisner-winning comics author and an associate professor of Humanities & Liberal Studies at San Francisco State UniversityRESOURCESNick Sousanis' WebsiteNick Sousanis' TwitterUnflatteningOn Graphic Scholarship: A Conversation with Nick Sousanis (The Comics Grid) Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Health has become intertwined with technology — or the other way around — to a point where we should have a clear vision of where things are heading. Unfortunately, telemedicine is an excellent example of a path not being as straightforward as it should be.With the advancement of technology comes cultural changes. It also happens the other way around as well — and not just from a societal perspective, but also from an operational, clinical and overall wellbeing perspective. With this collision between technology and humanity comes a number of opportunities, which our guests provided in the list below.Opportunity 1: Reduce Expensive and Unnecessary Trips to the EROpportunity 2: Reverse America's Chronic-Disease CrisisOpportunity 3: Address Disparities in Health CareOpportunity 4: Make Specialty Care Faster and More EfficientOpportunity 5: Provide Access to the Best DoctorsDuring this conversation, which is rooted in an article written for The Harvard Business Review by our guests, Dr. Robert M. Pearl and Brian Wayling, we dig into some of these opportunities and discuss what needs to happen if we are to successfully achieve them.About the HBR articleContrary to what many people think, virtual health care, also known as telemedicine or telehealth, is much more than a cheap digital knockoff of in-person care. When used appropriately, it improves patient health, reduces costs, and makes care more equitable and accessible to anyone with a smartphone. Its use has soared during the Covid era—and the authors argue that providers around the world should aggressively strive to tap its full potential even after the pandemic abates.Pearl and Wayling take readers inside Kaiser Permanente and Intermountain Healthcare, two of telehealth's earliest adopters and most effective users in the United States. They show how telehealth can reduce expensive and unnecessary trips to the ER, reduce America's chronic-disease crisis, address disparities in care, make specialty care faster and more efficient, and provide access to the best doctors. And they outline what's needed to spur adoption to a fully telehealth-driven system. Employers, who currently provide health insurance coverage to nearly half the U.S. population, could drive such a change by banding together and designing new reimbursement and care delivery approaches. The resulting savings could amount to tens of billions of dollars a year.______________________________GuestsDr. Robert M.

A Story Club: Global Politics S2 E2streamed live on FB from the US (San Francisco), India (Dehra Dun) and Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, Thursdays 12pm EDT | 9am PDT | 9:30pm ISTrepeated Friday on the UNC Network in Trinidad and Tobago 6pm ASTWelcome to Season 2 Episode 2 of A Story Club: Global Politics & Cultures brought to you by Bulletproof Podcast FormulaMy name is Dr. Kirk Meighoo and I'm the public relations officer of the United National Congress, the official Opposition Party in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.This is a unique venture, streaming simulataneously from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, Dehra Dun in India, and San Franciso in the United States.We speak with people around the world, trying to understand different issues and problems relevant to my own country, Trinidad and Tobago, and also to people in sometimes very similar and sometimes very different situations, cultures, histories, politics, sociology, etc.The goal is to learn from each other, build networks, widen our perspectives, and work for solutions in our distinctive contexts.Today's episode is titled, "Building Global and National Health Infrastructure in the Wake of Covid.""The only way that the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic can be stopped, is by re-thinking the solution. We must have modern health care systems in every country. This means infrastructure for public health, and for medical care delivery at modern standards, to all populations. One model for this is the U.S. Hill-Burton Act (“Hospital Survey and Construction Act of 1946,”) whose principle was to state how many hospital beds per 1,000 residents must be in each locality (at that time, 4.5), and deploy accordingly to build them, including modern equipment and staff.Look at instances of our ability to do this today. The 1,000-bed Huoshenshan hospital was built in 12 days in Wuhan in 2020. In the U.S., multiple field hospitals were built in record time last Spring by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. We must do this simultaneously around the world.This means that all countries must work together to accomplish this. We must put aside tensions and conflicts for the time being.There are new strains of the SARS CoV2 that are showing up, that are more aggressive, and more transmissible. These can make vaccines obsolete... Thus, our response to the pandemic seen in these terms is a question of existential importance to the human species. It requires the cooperation of all major industrialized nations."This is a quote from a statement by the Committee for the Coincidence of Opposites, for the Global Health Summit in Rome, May 21, 2021, and for general circulation, which we will be discussing more in-depth on today's episode.This week, I am so pleased and honoured to have as our guestsDr. Joycelyn Elders, former US Surgeon General, professor emerita of pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, pediatricianDr. Tim Gopeesingh, former Cabinet Minister in the Govt of Trinidad and Tobago, former Clinical Dean of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of the West Indies, gynecologic oncologistMarcia Merry Baker, Economics Co-Editor of the EIR News Service

Transcripts can be found via our website, humanrestorationproject.org.Today's conversation is all about 100 Days of Conversations About School! 100 Days is a project by Human Restoration Project, REENVISIONED, Choice Filled Lives Network, and Cortico's Local Voices Network. Simply stated, 100 Days is catalyzing conversations about school in communities across the country. Featuring young people and adults, these conversations about the good life, the school experience, and equity in education are being compiled, shared, analyzed, and presented. We're taking the findings and presenting them to the new Secretary of Education and policymakers across the country.The process is designed to center the voices of young people and educators - both in the conversations themselves and in the policy and practice recommendations that emerge from the process. We're seeking educators, young people, and education non-profits who are interested in hosting a conversation in their community.The entire process takes about 2 hours, including the conversation itself. We supply all the materials, the recording space, and walk you through the conversation. Simply go to 100DaysofConversations.org, sign up, gather 2-8 folks, 2 of whom are below the age of 24, choose a time, and host the conversation. We'll take everything from there!Afterwards, you'll not only get to participate in an important process but also receive a transcript and categorical analysis of what happened - which is so important in figuring out how to reimagine our educational system. It's one thing for us to belabor on the importance of changing ed - yet we must include young people as the most important voices in the conversation.GUESTSDr. Erin Raab, chief strategy and impact officer for Choice Filled Lives Network and co-founder of REENVISIONED who focused her PhD on transforming schooling from competitions and tests to human flourishing and collective liberationThe 100 Days Social Media Team (Olivia Chiang, Summer Freed, Léa Henaux, which also includes Nontobeko Mdlalose) RESOURCES100 Days of Conversations Website and Sign Up100 Days Facilitation Guide100 Days Analysis OverviewFURTHER LISTENING79: Reimagine the System w/ REENVISIONED (Dr. Erin Raab) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Berkshire is a journalist and educator who focuses on podcasting and labor organizing at Boston College and Umass Amherst respectively, and Dr. Schneider is an education historian focused on reform and school accountability. Jennifer and Jack co-host the wonderful Have You Heard Podcast, which is focused on hot button issues in educational policy and current events, and both Chris and I highly recommend checking it out if you aren't listening already. Our discussion today is going to cover a lot of ground but center on education reform, innovation, labor rights, unions, and change. There's an odd dichotomy between progressive education and the assault on public education: a cognitive dissonance between the necessity for systemic reform while ensuring a free and accessible public education for the future and recognizing the need for organized labor as a path to a strong working class, that teacher unions are among the largest and most powerful in the country. Yet, there is a narrative - real or not - that unions are resistant to the change that many progressive educators want, and more recently, the notion that they have become the major roadblock to school reopenings in 2020.GUESTSDr. Jennifer Berkshire, journalist and educator focused on podcasting and labor organizing at Boston College & UMass AmherstDr. Jack Schneider, education historian centered on reform and school accountabilityRESOURCESA Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door by Dr. Berkshire & Dr. SchneiderReview: A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door by Nick CovingtonHave You Heard Blog/PodcastFURTHER LISTENING80: Pandemic Pods, School Choice, and Combating Inequity w/ Dr. Jon HaleThis Podcast Will Kill You: COVID-19 Chapter 10: SchoolsThis is Hell!: 1263: The end of public school / Jack Schneider + Jennifer Berkshire See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Transcripts can be found via our website, humanrestorationproject.org.Our conversation today will center on teaching organization and collective activism. Essentially, we find ourselves at an important crossroads, as the administration shifts to new policies - teachers will be at the whim of new federal (and likely, state) policies that will have massive ramifications on classrooms, especially during COVID-19. And I hope out of this conversation, we'll be able to address - what should I be concerned about? What problems may exist?

Today, Chris and I (Nick) are joined by John Hale, whose biography you will hear at the beginning of the interview. John was recently the guest of a Soho Forum debate on the topic of pandemic pods, which you heard excerpts of at the beginning of this episode and confined in its entirety on YouTube.Since the Human Restoration Project has primarily been focused on pedagogy and changing the structures of school, I wanted to have John on to talk more about the history and ramifications of education policy and help us unpack what's really going on in our current conversations about pandemic pods, voucher programs and the recently announced Bezos Academy. How can we simultaneously acknowledge that schools need to change while being critical advocates for the need for public institutions and employee unions? How have market oriented takes on so-called school choice actually subverted the original intent of independent and charter schools? It's a really interesting conversation and it was great to talk to John. I'm sure we'll have him on again to talk education policy, history and organization in the future.GUESTSDr. Joe Hale, professor of educational policy, organization, and leadership at the University of Illinois, Urban-Champaign, and author of the forthcoming book, "The Choice We Face" (working title)RESOURCESJeff Bezos is opening a tuition-free preschool for underserved children (CNN)Savage Inequalities by Jonathan KozolSmall Schools and Choice Revisited by Deborah MeierFURTHER LISTENINGAre ‘Pandemic Pods' a Symptom of the Public School Monopoly?

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed a variety of topics, from climate change to Israel to a Marvel-ous economy.GUESTSDr. Guy McPherson - Internationally Recognized Speaker, award-winning scientist, world's leading authority on abrupt climate change | Climate Change Is ScaryMiko Peled - Human Rights Activist and Author of The General's Son, Journey of an Israeli in Palestine and Injustice, The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five | Israel is BadMark Frost - Economist, professor, consultant, drummer, Eagle Scout, Marine, libertarian'ish | Scarcity, Profit and ThanosIn Jamarl's first hour monologue, he voiced his displeasure that Tucker Carlson gave an explanation for the 17-year-old that shot three people in Kenosha, killing two. Shane pushed back on Jamarl's interpretation of Carlson's comments.Then the hosts talked to Dr. Guy McPherson, who said that events are happening once a decade and that he's not surprised human beings are losing habitats, since a warmer planet is a wetter planet. They also discussed extra political scientific approaches to dealing with climate change, including the Mirrors Project, which he contrasted to other attempts that have been tried in Europe and elsewhere that have not been successful. Dr. McPherson also described how he opted out of the global economic system and moved off the grid for a period of time before deciding it was not an effective way to get his message out, stating that time is of the essence.In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl spoke to Miko Peled about the situation of the Palestinians, who he says are under severe oppression by the state of Israel, which includes food, water, and power shortages. Miko discussed the recent headlines about the peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and how the media is using it to cover for the real nature of what's going on. Miko discussed his background as the son of an Israeli general in a patriotic Israeli household and talked about his journey from that background to being an anti-Israeli activist. They also talked about Mike Pompeo's RNC speech and how it was aimed at a Republican evangelical base, and he described Trump's popularity in Israel. Miko said the only solution for peace in the region is real one-man-one-vote democracy, In the third hour, the hosts talked to Mark Frost who said that he is a recovering libertarian and expressed a general disappointment in politicians across the board, although he said he is planning to vote for President Trump in the 2020 election. Given that, he said some might find it surprising that the Republican convention bothered him more than the Democrat one because as an atheist he felt the Republicans were too focused on God, when all he is interested in is how the party in power will use that power. Marc talked about how war creates significant economic problems because the cost of war is generally kicked to the next generation. They discussed Malthusian economics and its relationship to the Marvel universe before a discussion about love, scarcity of resources, and profit motive.

On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan discussed the news of the day and subjects like the Republican National Convention, the violent riots in Kenosha, COVID-19 facts, and Artificial Intelligence. GUESTSDr. Mikhail Kogan - Medical Director at the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine | Latest Developments on COVID-19Elbert Guillory - Attorney, political activist, former member of both the Louisiana state Senate and Louisiana House of Representatives | Kenosha and the DNC Ben Swann - Award-winning Television News Anchor, investigative journalist, and host on Boom Bust airing weekdays on RT America | Protests and COVID-19 CuresIn Jamarl's first hour monologue, he expressed disgust with Black Lives Matter activists who attempted to force a woman dining in Washington, DC, to raise her fist. Then the hosts talked to Dr. Kohan about the recent cases of reinfection of COVID-19, and he said it's consistent with a new study that shows antibodies don't seem to last after a mild case and this may show that vaccines might not be effective. Dr. Kogan also talked about the issue of schools opening and said new data has come out showing transmission rates for young people are similar to rates for older people and said it may be time to admit mistakes were made in places like Florida and Alabama and reverse course in order to avert a potential disaster.In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl talked to civil rights movement vet Elbert Guillory about the Jacob Blake shooting and Kenosha riots, and he said that Blake bears some responsibility for the shooting and that in this nation, children need to be taught to obey police on the streets and not to burn the country to the ground. Then they discussed the political conventions, and Guillory said that as a former Democrat he didn't enjoy the DNC, which he found to be too anti-American, and he also said the Republican convention has impressed him so far, citing the speech by Nick Sandmann as an example. Guillory also bluntly listed Joe Biden's flaws as a candidate. In the third hour, Shane and Jamarl discussed Kenosha and the #BlackLivesMatter protests with Ben Swann, who said he's concerned that the violence and looting are overtaking any legitimate message the movement has, and he thinks people aren't looking at the issue of how police funding is related to the police being a revenue source through fines. Ben said he thinks the waters have been muddied about Hydroxychloroquine, and he also said he's concerned that low cost treatments for coronavirus aren't being pursued due to the influence of Big Pharma. Ben also pointed out that two of the major studies on Hydroxychloroquine were retracted.

On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl Thomas discussed the news of the day, including the Beirut explosion and primary election results from several states. They also talked about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the economic impact to possible treatments. GUESTSDr. Mikhail Kogan - Medical Director at the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine | COVID-19 Treatment UpdateMarshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Why Congress Can't Fix Covid-19 EconomyCynthia McKinney - Former Member of Congress | Is The Pandemic a Deep State Creation?In Jamarl's first hour monologue, he railed against recent comments that implied the Democrats would do regime change better than the Republicans but not oppose it at all.They were next joined by Dr. Mikhail Kogan, who discussed the difficulties with children returning to school, including dealing with the discipline issues of getting a large number of kids to go along with wearing masks and social distancing.  They also discussed the possibility of a vaccine being developed by 2021 and the complexities of the COVID-19 virus that make both treating it and tracking it difficult. The doctor suggested that people's diet is about 50% of the problem and that periodic fasting may be a good way to stay healthy, because of the COVID-19's connection to inflammation. In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl were joined by Marshall Auerback, who talked about the stalled stimulus bill that the House and Senate seem to be at an impasse on. He discussed why, even in the face of the current emergency, Congress seems unable to move forward with a bill that would have a wide range and suggested that systemic corruption is a part of it. He also discussed how corruption itself creates a self-sustaining mechanism where people have less respect for the rule of law, which creates a self-sustaining machine that makes it more difficult to get rid of corruption.In the third hour, the hosts were joined by Cynthia McKinney, who discussed the controversial theory that the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic may be manufactured as a form of biological warfare, specifically against people of color. Cynthia talked about the Peter Dale Scott template for looking at manufactured events versus organic ones, and she sees a number of examples both actually and historically, including the South African development of an anti-black biological warfare weapon in the role of the eugenics movement to create super humans. She's also suspicious of events like the shutting down of the chemical weapons base at Fort Detrick, Maryland, recently for supposed leaks. She also mentioned the problem of the US having biological labs around the world and said taxpayers have the right to know what the United States government is doing.

"Representative Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican who has frequently refused to wear a mask in the Capitol, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday ahead of a planned trip with President Trump on Air Force One, officials familiar with the matter said," the New York Times reported Wednesday. "The results immediately sent a shudder through the Capitol, where Mr. Gohmert has actively participated in multiple congressional hearings this week, including Tuesday's Judiciary Committee session with Attorney General William P. Barr" and "a hearing held by the Natural Resources Committee," during which he did not wear a mask, the Times noted. What are we to make of this?The White House said on Tuesday that it will "refuse all new applications and only allow one-year renewals for existing participants while the program undergoes a review," Common Dreams reported Tuesday about the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which allows some undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children to remain in the country for renewable periods of two years rather than be deported. What does this mean for the DACA program, its recipients and the country?According to Raul Diego in MintPress News, "The US is starting to fret about the imminent completion of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, the second of two underwater gas pipelines running from the Russian Baltic city of Ust-Luga to Greifswald, Germany, and has begun issuing informal threats of repercussions to companies who are backing the nearly-finished project." What are people saying about this as the issue continues to fester?This Associated Press headline from Tuesday is laughable: "US officials: Russia behind spread of virus disinformation." The article says, "Russian intelligence services are using a trio of English-language websites to spread disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic, seeking to exploit a crisis that America is struggling to contain ahead of the presidential election in November, US officials said Tuesday." What is the real story?A Wednesday headline in Newsweek read: "Iran Won't Start War, General Says as Drill Targets Mock US Carrier." Meanwhile, a Tuesday headline at AntiWar.com said: "US: 'Irresponsible' for Iran to Attack Dummy Ship During Military Exercise." Could this war of words turn into a real war?"Many small businesses nationwide are reaching similar breaking points in an economy with the highest unemployment rate since the Great Depression," Reuters reported about the US on Wednesday. "Small firms have survived the pandemic so far with a mix of government aid, forbearance on debt and rent and creativity in selling to an increasingly homebound and financially distressed populace." Can this last much longer?"The prolonged UN-brokered peace talks between the Yemeni government and the Houthi rebels might fail, UN Special Envoy for Yemen Martin Griffiths warned on Tuesday," Xinhua News Agency reported. What are we to make of this projection?Reporting on US Attorney General Bill Barr's Tuesday testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, the Wall Street Journal said, "In his first congressional appearance in more than a year, Mr. Barr said the federal response was needed to confront violent demonstrators and fight crime in cities where local officials had done little to keep their streets and federal property safe."

The US surpassed 4 million confirmed coronavirus infections on Thursday. "Despite the rosy picture painted by President Trump at his latest White House briefing, almost every metric shows just how badly America is losing its fight against the virus," the Washington Post reported. This comes a day after Dr. Deborah Birx, a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, warned officials in a private phone call that 11 major cities in the US needed to take "aggressive" actions to fight COVID-19, according to the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity. What are we to make of these recent developments?"Filings for weekly unemployment benefits rose for the first time in nearly four months as some states rolled back reopenings because of the coronavirus pandemic, a sign the jobs recovery could be faltering," the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. "Initial unemployment claims rose by a seasonally adjusted 109,000 to 1.4 million for the week ended July 18, the Labor Department reported Thursday." What are we to make of these new numbers?There are great levels of consternation within the Republican Party regarding the Senate's latest coronavirus relief bill. "Conservatives are apoplectic about its $1 trillion cost. Mainstream Republicans in very tight races are desperate to act quickly and aggressively to show voters they are doing something about the pandemic and resulting recession," the New York Times reported Wednesday. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, the party's leader, keeps insisting on senseless proposals, like a payroll tax cut, that won't stimulate anything but the pockets of the 1%. How do we square this circle?On Thursday, China launched its first mission with the intent of landing a rover on Mars. Once again, space exploration has become a contest between nations. While the US once competed in this sphere with the Soviet Union, today its rivalry is with China. The US is planning to launch a similar mission to the red planet next week. What does this say about the relationship between these two countries?There was a great story in The Grayzone on Thursday entitled "An inside look at Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution on its 41st anniversary." In it, Ben Norton writes, "Since the 1823 declaration of the Monroe Doctrine, the US government has portrayed all of Latin America as its own imperial 'backyard.' Among the most enticing prizes for US political leaders and corporate oligarchs over the decades has been Nicaragua. ... This July 19, 2020, Nicaragua celebrated the 41st anniversary of the triumph of the Sandinista Revolution. It came at a turbulent moment for the country, two years after an extremely violent US-backed coup attempt and in the middle of the global COVID-19 pandemic." What can we learn about US interventionist, neoliberal foreign policy as it relates to Nicaragua and the entire region of Latin America? There's some great analysis in a Wednesday Common Dreams article entitled "King Joe and the Round Table: Biden's America in a Multipolar World," by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J.S. Davies. They write, "In an article in Foreign Affairs in March titled, 'Why America Must Lead Again,' Joe Biden claimed that 'the world doesn't organize itself,' and promised to 'put the US back at the head of the table' among the nations of the world. But the premise that the world can only organize itself under the direction of the United States and Biden's ambition to restore the US to such a dominant position at this moment in history are out of touch with global reality." How so?Is the president struggling to draw support to his professed "law-and-order" stance? "Trump on Wednesday announced that the Justice Department's 'Operation Legend' — an effort to help local police combat violent crime — is expanding from Kansas City, MO, to Chicago, Albuquerque, NM, and other US cities," The Hill reported Thursday. Will this questionable policy translate into political gains? Our final guest, Maram Susli, will be discussing the effect of American sanctions on Syria and US policy towards Syria overall.
