She discusses the importance of shifting the narrative around disability from one of pity and shame to one of strength and empowerment. Brooke emphasizes the need for inclusive policies that consider disability as a cross-cutting issue in all aspects of public policy. She also highlights the significance of universal design and the benefits of inclusion for all individuals.Transcript: https://otter.ai/u/-kUz6aHchJdl5V_JLX8ZVg7BmFEKey Takeaways:Disability is more than just a physical impairment; it is a sociocultural construct that requires a shift in societal understanding and inclusion.Public policies should consider disability as a cross-cutting issue and be integrated into all aspects of policy-making.Inclusive classrooms and universal design benefit all individuals, fostering diversity and understanding.The societal perception of disability needs to change from one of pity and shame to one of strength and empowerment.The pandemic has highlighted the importance of accessibility and the need for continued progress in disability rights and inclusion.Brooke Ellison: https://www.brookeellison.com/MCIE:Email List: https://bit.ly/MCIE-Email-ListWebsite: https://www.mcie.org/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/inclusionmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/inclusionmd/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/inclusionmdLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/inclusive-education/ Support Think Inclusive by becoming a patron!

A functioning economy provides people with access to credit, insurance, and, among other things, investment opportunities. But what happens in poor communities where they are landless and have no wealth? Eliana La Ferrara says the social structure within those communities offers the collateral they need to make the economy work. La Ferrara is a Professor of Public Policy at Harvard Kennedy School and an award-winning economist whose work has helped us understand how the economics of the poor are deeply interwoven into the social fabric and norms of their communities. Journalist Rhoda Metcalfe sat down with La Ferrara to discuss her work in Africa, and how she came to focus on development issues that are often overlooked. The interview is part of the IMF series on extraordinary Women in Economics. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3ZwnH6k

Kennedy School Lecturer in Public Policy Bruce Schneier says Artificial Intelligence has the potential to transform the democratic process in ways that could be good, bad, and potentially mind-boggling. The important thing, he says, will be to use regulation and other tools to make sure that AIs are working for us, and just not for Big Tech companies—a hard lesson we've already learned through our experience with social media. When ChatGPT and other generative AI tools were released to the public late last year, it was as if someone had opened the floodgates on a thousand urgent questions that just weeks before had mostly preoccupied academics, futurists, and science fiction writers. Now those questions are being asked by many of us—teachers, students, parents, politicians, bureaucrats, citizens, businesspeople, and workers. What can it do for us? What will it do to us? Will it take our jobs? How do we use it in a way that's both ethical and legal? And will it help or hurt our already-distressed democracy? Schneier, a public interest technologist, cryptographer, and internationally-known internet security specialist whose newsletter and blog are read by a quarter million people, says that AI's inexorable march into our lives and into our politics is likely to start with small changes, like AI helping write policy and legislation. The future, however, could hold possibilities that we have a hard time wrapping our current minds around—like AI entities creating political parties or autonomously fundraising and generating profits to back political candidates or causes. Overall, like a lot of other things. it's likely to be a mixed bag of the good and the bad.Bruce Schneier is a Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, a faculty affiliate at the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at HKS, a fellow at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. An internationally renowned security technologist, he has been called a "security guru" by the Economist and is the New York Times best-selling author of 14 books—including A Hacker's Mind—as well as hundreds of articles, essays, and academic papers. His influential newsletter “Crypto-Gram” and blog “Schneier on Security” are read by over 250,000 people. Schneier is a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and AccessNow, and an advisory board member of EPIC and VerifiedVoting.org. He is the Chief of Security Architecture at Inrupt, Inc.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Public Affairs and Communications is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

The ladies from Ask A Jew are back for their biannual visit. This time for the Jewish New Year! In this episode, we talk about the meaning of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and (since we apparently have to go over it again) why Orthodox Jews have to get their cars detailed before Passover. (It's true.) We also talk about mikvehs. Because you know you were wondering. If you only ever listen to one conversation about mikvehs, let it be this one. Most importantly, we revisit our evergreen topic: the world's hottest dictators, despots and garden-variety world leaders. Who was hotter? Stalin or Gadaffi? Is Bibi Netanyahu more your type? Or George H.W. Bush? In the bonus, I do a solocast where I answer AMA questions and share more of my existential crisis about how to pronounce my last name. Paying subscribers who have questions for me can put them in the comments.

According to Arthur, we can make choices that can improve our well-being despite the presence of challenges. He talks about how to find satisfaction through family, friends, meaningful work, and faith. Arthur also shares actionable steps around managing emotions and habits that can help us create a better life.

Private mobile networks are becoming a critical utility for businesses to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve safety and security. The deployments are growing steadily; however, a patchwork of available wireless solutions makes it challenging for many enterprises to have a standardized approach to address the connectivity needs of diverse use cases. There are stiff technical and commercial challenges to their widespread adoption, demanding both service providers and vendors to rise to the occasion. So, what can vendors do to simplify their customers' options? What are the primary decision factors for enterprises to deploy a private mobile network? And what will it take to scale private mobile network adoption? Let's find out. Our guests for the podcast are Tom Wheeler, the former Chairman of the FCC and a board member of Alef, and Mike Mulica, the CEO of Alef.Tom has led several efforts that resulted in the adoption of Net Neutrality, privacy protections for consumers, and increased cybersecurity, among other policies. As an entrepreneur, he started or helped start multiple companies offering innovative cable, wireless, and video communications services. He is the only person to be selected to both the Cable Television Hall of Fame and the Wireless Hall of Fame, a fact President Obama joked made him "the Bo Jackson of telecom." Presently, he is a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute, a senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, and a board member of Alef and many other companies. Mike Mulica has played a foundational role in pioneering the mobile internet and overseeing the release of game-changing products and technologies to global markets. His leadership at both public and private companies spans the likes of Motorola, Synchronoss, Openwave, Phone.com, Unwired Planet, FusionOne, RealNetworks, and Actility.In our session today, we will discuss a few topics, such as:- Inhibitors and drivers for private networks.- Strategies to standardize planning and deployment of private networks.- And many more.So, let us welcome Tom Wheeler and Mike Mulica.

Todd Rogers is a Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. His work: supports student success and attendance; strengthens democracy; and improves communication. Todd earned an undergraduate degree in religion and psychology from Williams College, a master's degree in social psychology from Harvard, and a PhD in organizational behavior from Harvard. In this conversation, Todd talks about: Less is more. Be brief if we want people to read what we write. People skim, and 99% of people are more likely to read short text compared to long text. Plus, brevity is kinder to the reader. Design for how people read. We read headers, we jump around, we go as fast as possible. So, use headers, bold words, and bullet points to make it easy for people to get main ideas quickly. To write so people read what we write, use the AI model which has been trained on Todd's principles. Run your text through his model at www.writingforbusyreaders.com. Think addition by subtraction. We improve our writing by subtracting unnecessary words and sentences rather than adding more. Readers are skittish. If you use big, uncommon words, they may run away and never come back. Subtraction neglect: ask people to improve something, and the vast majority of the time they will add things. People too often fail to think that they can improve by removing and subtracting.

Our guest is The Right Honourable Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada. Kim is a powerhouse whose life has been a life of firsts: from the age of 16 when she became the first female student body president at Prince of Wales Secondary School, to the first female president for her freshman class at University of British Columbia, to holding elected office at all three levels of Canadian government and then becoming Canada's first (and only) female Prime Minister in 1993. Clearly, Kim has spent much of her life breaking barriers for women. She was the first woman to serve as Canada's Minister of Justice and Minister of National Defence, as well as the first woman to serve as Minister of Defence of a NATO member country. Ms. Campbell served as the Canadian Consul General in Los Angeles, taught at the Harvard Kennedy School and is a member of the International Women's Forum, a global organization of women of significant and diverse achievement, and served as its global president (2003-2005). She was inducted into the IWF Hall of Fame in 2008. Kim Campbell is also a founding member of the Club de Madrid, now the largest international forum of former heads of government and state who work to promote democratic values. After serving as Acting President (2002), Secretary General (2004-2006), Vice President and a member of the Board (2007- 2011), she returned to the Board in 2019. Among her involvement in international organizations focused on democracy and security issues, Kim Campbell chaired the Steering Committee for the World Movement for Democracy in Washington, D.C. from 2008-2015, and is a Trustee of the International Center for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ICSR) at King's College, London. Ms. Campbell became an international leader of leaders as Chair of the Council of Women World Leaders (1999-2003) and is currently a member and Chair Emerita. The Council's membership is composed of women who hold, or have held, the office of President or Prime Minister. Ms. Campbell's most notable achievement in recent years has been the design and launch of a ground-breaking leadership program for undergraduates at the University of Alberta: The Peter Lougheed Leadership College. She served as its Founding Principal from 2014-2018. In 2016 Kim Campbell was appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to serve as Chairperson of the Independent Advisory Board for Supreme Court of Canada Judicial Appointments, a role she has reprised three times since, most recently in spring 2021. In 2021, Ms. Campbell joined the board of Toronto-based Glen Gould Foundation (glengould.ca) and the advisory board of The Vancouver Anti-Corruption Institute. VACI is a project of The International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy (ICCLR), which was created during Ms. Campbell's tenure as Minister of Justice. Also in 2021, Ms. Campbell accepted an invitation to become a fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of arts, manufactures and commerce (thersa.org), which was founded in 1754 in England. Additionally, Ms. Campbell received the Distinguished Leadership Award from the International Leadership Association (ILA), for her significant contributions to the understanding and practice of effective leadership which has had an exceptional impact internationally. Kim Campbell lives with her husband - pianist, actor, playwright, composer and producer Hershey Felder - in Florence, Italy. Join us as Kim Campbell speaks candidly on issues related to leadership, international politics, democratization, climate change, gender, Canadian/American relations and much more.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, July 2023 was actually the hottest month ever recorded on Earth. The heat wave caused hundreds of deaths, thousands of hospitalizations, and billions of dollars in damages. It also exacerbated droughts, wildfires, and power outages. The culprit behind this unprecedented heat is climate change, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The most well-known greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, which comes from burning fossil fuels. Often overlooked is methane, which accounts for about 16 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and has more than doubled since pre-industrial times. Robert Stavins, PhD '88, says that reducing the amount of methane in the atmosphere is a critical and cost-effective way to slow climate change and its impacts. To get there, the AJ Meyer professor of Energy and Economic Development at the Harvard Kennedy School is leading a new initiative at the University's Salata Institute which aims to reduce methane emissions from different sectors using innovative approaches and collaborations. If successful, he says the world can “bend the curve” on climate change, giving humanity desperately needed time to address the larger, long-term problem of carbon dioxide.

“Not dying changed everything. Not only did I not die, I actually got to live. And living offered me the chance to bring the most meaningful lessons I learned from facing death into my life and into the lives of many others.” - Kristi Nelson When Kristi Nelson was diagnosed with stage IV Cancer at age 33, she realized how easy it is to thirst for happiness when you are already standing knee deep in abundance. This is when she began to nurture a gratitude practice that transformed her life and to “being awake to what matters." Stripped away from everything, she realized the abundance of life's simplest pleasures and began the practice of waking up grateful and staying mindful in her experience which opened her to the teachings and opportunities within each and every moment for learning, insight, love, and action even in the midst of her struggles. This is when she had the revelation that gratitude is momentary and gratefulness is a way of being. That while gratitude needs something good to happen, greatfulness opens us to the opportunity to experience gratitude in every moment. Our conversation dives into the five points of perspective and the power of gratefulness in activism and the importance of being deeply in touch with what makes us come alive. Listeners are invited to visit Grateful Living for more information and can purchase Kristi's book, "Wake Up, Grateful," to delve deeper into the practice of living gratefully. Key points from the conversation: Kristi's personal journey with cancer and how it led her to find gratitude in the simplest of life's pleasures. The idea of extending gratitude beyond fleeting emotions and events towards adopting a grateful way of being. The generative nature of appreciation. The distinction between gratitude and gratefulness. Gratitude being a reaction to specific positivity, while gratefulness being a continuous state of being. Five points of perspective that enhance gratitude: Poignancy, Peak Awareness, Recognizing Privilege and Plenty, Connecting to Principles, and Finding Pleasure. The role of gratefulness in our actions and activism. It's considered as an activator, which motivates us to protect and care for what we appreciate. Living gratefully is about being fully present, embracing joy and vulnerability, and making a lasting impression on others. If this conversation resonates with you, make sure to check out Kristi's book, "Wake Up, Grateful," and visit the Grateful Living organization for more inspiration. The links are in the show notes. Kristi Nelson is the recently retired executive director of A Network for Grateful Living. She has a masters degree in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School and has spent more than 30 years in nonprofit leadership, development and consulting. She was worked for the Center For Mindfulness in Medicine, Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, and the Soul of Money Institute. Kristi is a stage IV cancer survivor who cherishes living among friends and family in western Massachusetts. Special Guest: Kristi Nelson.
The global decarbonization effort is colliding headfirst with the realities of great power politics. China currently controls more than 75 percent of the world's electric vehicle battery and solar photovoltaic manufacturing supply chains. It also processes the bulk of the so-called critical minerals, like lithium, cobalt and graphite, that are essential to building out clean energy technologies. There is no clean energy revolution without China.What would happen if China decided to weaponize its clean energy resources in the same way Russia recently weaponized its oil and gas? Is it possible for the U.S. to end its energy dependency on China by investing in clean energy at home? What does this geopolitical reality mean for the prospect of meeting the world's climate goals?Over the past few years, Jason Bordoff and Meghan O'Sullivan have been at the forefront of mapping out the ways decarbonization will upend the world's economic and geopolitical order. Bordoff is the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University and a former senior director for energy and climate change for the National Security Council under Barack Obama. O'Sullivan is the director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School and a former deputy national security adviser in the George W. Bush administration.In Bordoff and O'Sullivan's view, decarbonization won't just affect what kinds of cars we drive or how we power our homes. It will transform everything from the nature of international markets and trade relations to the global balance of military and diplomatic power. And it will create new economic superpowers, new alliances and new sources of geopolitical conflict in the process.This conversation explores the contours of this transformation and what it will mean for the future of the climate and world politics.Mentioned:“The Age of Energy Insecurity” by Jason Bordoff and Meghan L.

Up to 80% of people with schizophrenia aren't aware they're experiencing early schizophrenia symptoms. Most people with schizophrenia go through a prodromal stage, where there's subtle changes in mood, thinking, and behavior. It's an evolution of the symptoms to come. Early indicators vary based on the age they start. An adult who develops schizophrenia will experience different signs than a child who develops the condition. Host Rachel Star Withers and cohost Gabe Howard explore the early signs of schizophrenia in children, teens, and adults. Joining to discuss the future of identifying biomarkers for schizophrenia is Carlos Larrauri, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner who also lives with schizophrenia. Mr. Larrauri co-chairs the steering committee for the Accelerating Medicines Partnership Program Schizophrenia AMP, which is working to identify early indicators of schizophrenia.

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, selective colleges, and their admissions practices, have received a lot of scrutiny. Does going to a highly selective college affect long-term outcomes? How much preference are legacy applicants given? To what extent does socioeconomic background influence chances of admission? And how can highly selective colleges improve social mobility and diversify the American elite? In a new paper, Diversifying Society's Leaders? The Determinants and Causal Effects of Admission to Highly Selective Private Colleges, Raj Chetty, David Deming, and John Friedman consider these questions and many others. The paper is full of interesting findings, so on this episode of The Report Card, two of the paper's authors, David Deming and John Friedman, join Nat to break it down. David Deming is the Academic Dean and Isabelle and Scott Black Professor of Political Economy at the Harvard Kennedy School. John Friedman is the Briger Family Distinguished Professor of Economics and International and Public Affairs and the Economics Department Chair at Brown University.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Gina McCarthy, the first-ever White House National Climate Advisor under President Biden and former U.S. EPA Administrator under President Obama. Gina McCarthy is one of the nation's most respected voices on climate change, the environment, and public health. As head of the Climate Policy Office under President Biden, McCarthy's leadership led to the most aggressive action on climate in U.S. history, creating new jobs and unprecedented clean energy innovation and investments across the country. Her commitment to bold action across the Biden administration, supported by the climate and clean energy provisions in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, restored U.S. climate leadership on a global stage and put a new U.S. national target to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52 percent below 2005 levels by 2030 within reach.Throughout her years of public service in both Republican and Democratic administrations, McCarthy is credited for her common-sense strategies and ability to work across the aisle, with states, communities, business leaders, and the labor community, to tackle our nation's toughest environmental challenges in ways that spur economic growth, and improve public health for workers and families, especially those living in environmental justice communities.Prior to her appointment as White House National Climate Advisor, McCarthy was president and CEO of the Natural Resources Defense Council. She served as professor of the practice of public health in the department of environmental health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where she served as the director of the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment. McCarthy was also a fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, where she engaged students, faculty, professionals, and climate leaders on actions to promote sustainability and justice. She also served as Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and an advisor to five Massachusetts governors.Gina and Ted discuss her background, growing up in Boston, and spending her formative years playing outside in natural resource areas within the boundaries of the City. She shares that nature was in her blood and that being outside was all she cared about, so it was inevitable that the challenges that we are seeing with climate change is something that attracted her attention. She landed in the climate arena as a career when she was working as the Board of Health Agent in the town of Canton, intrigued with the intersection between environment and health, and the challenges that can be tackled to make people's lives better by remaining positive and showing them the future that can be delivered.

A social entrepreneur for over 15 years, Jackie has also worked in venture capital with a particular focus on women's health and sexual wellness. In 2019 she wrote a New York Times investigative op-ed on the sexual wellness market, which made the NY Times "Most Popular" list and was the Opinion section's display piece. Center for Intimacy Justice is leading the movement to rewrite corporate advertising policies in tech companies to allow sexual health and wellness ads for women and people with vulvas.
