Today, there seems to be an intense distrust of experts in all sorts of fields. From medical experts in the Centers for Disease Control and the Department of Health and Human Services, to “elite intellectuals” at Universities and Colleges, no one who has expertise is beyond suspicion. We hear that we should “do our own research” and not trust what those with training and knowledge tell us. What makes an expert legitimate? What's the difference between the skepticism that drives science and the suspicion that denies that the experts know? How do we design institutions that are both scientifically rigorous and also democratically responsive and responsible? Let's talk about how knowledge should be organized, disseminated, and structured so that it benefits the most in a democratic society.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/the-expertise-crisis---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes when Season 14 begins in September!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Podcast on Patreon here!

M. C. Flux uncovers lessons for video creation from what he calls layered learning on episode 587 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode I've also started creating these little quiz questions in them, but they're not hard. They're just to keep their attention going. -M. C. Flux Many students seem to enjoy this and actually learn well from it, so I keep doing it. -M. C. Flux I think these students struggle so much with attention that bringing them back with a really simple question just helps. -M. C.

I don't think it's as bad as people say, but it is actually still a big piece of how I design instruction. -M. C. Flux A lot of students are used to rewatching things that they enjoy. -M. C.

Summer is typically a quiet time for higher education but this summer has been anything but quiet amid funding cuts, lawsuits, and questions about the value of American colleges and universities.Our guests this week are part of Stand Together for Higher Ed, a new nonpartisan movement of university faculty and staff focused on building collective power to uphold the core values of higher education. Kathy Roberts Forde is a professor of journalism at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Mark Pachucki is associate professor of sociology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and co-author of the university's Mutual Defense Academic Compact (MDAC) resolution. Ford, Pachucki, and their Stand Together for Higher Ed colleagues spent the summer talking to faculty and staff from universities across the country about what they can do to defend their institutions amid ongoing attacks and threats from the federal government. They don't have a quick, easy answer but they do have a plan for how people across campuses come together to share how higher education impacts our everyday lives.Is this approach enough? Chris Beem and Candis Watts Smith disagree on the value of Stand Together's approach and discuss their differences at the end of the episode.

Tufts University professor Eitan Hersh says colleges like the one he works at are too ideologically narrow — shutting out ideas from conservatives, religious people and others outside the academic mainstream.

Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on free speech, censorship, and the dangers of state overreach.Lukianoff warns that Britain is sliding into authoritarianism with the Online Safety Act, the arrest of comedian Graham Linehan for “offensive tweets,” and thousands of citizens detained each year for speech crimes. He explains why Americans should be alarmed—not only because of cultural ties, but because UK and EU laws like the Digital Services Act now risk exporting censorship to the United States.They discuss the chilling effect of “non-crime hate incidents,” the hypocrisy of politicians who ignore Islamist extremism while cracking down on online speech, and why Big Tech is tripping over itself to appease Brussels bureaucrats. Lukianoff contrasts this with the Trump administration's free speech battles on university campuses, where anti-Semitism and harassment rationales are being used to justify speech codes.They also dive into the deeper history—Lenin, Marx, communism, and why the West never reckoned with the crimes of socialism—leaving us vulnerable to a new wave of ideological totalitarianism.All this—Britain's speech crisis, EU overreach, Trump and the universities, and the global struggle to preserve freedom of expression in the 21st century…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 - Introduction & Guest Welcome 02:49 - Graham Linehan's Arrest and Free Speech in the UK 05:08 - Arrests for Offensive Speech in the UK 07:34 - Non-Crime Hate Incidents and Social Attitudes 10:03 - Malcolm Gladwell, Trans Issues, and Chilling Effects 14:03 - The Online Safety Act and Censorship of Americans 17:04 - Why Americans Care About British Free Speech 19:14 - The EU Digital Services Act and Global Censorship 22:20 - Protecting Children Online: Policy and Parental Controls 28:41 - Free Speech in America: Trump, Wokeism, and Ideology 32:31 - Communism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism: Historical Parallels 36:30 - Reckoning with Socialism and Communism 39:30 - Karl Popper, Tolerance, and Hate Speech Laws 42:30 - Trump Administration, Campus Speech Codes, and Harassment 45:32 - Political Correctness and Speech Codes in Higher Ed 51:02 - Harvard, Civil Rights Act, and Federal Oversight 55:56 - The Right Way to Reform University Funding 58:52 - Free Speech for Pro-Palestinian Students and Deportation 1:10:19 - Why Harvard Ranks Lowest for Free Speech 1:13:21 - FIRE's New Books and Campus Free Speech Rankings 1:13:56 - Closing Remarks Hosted on Acast.

We also talk about the realities of making a living as an independent artist—navigating production work alongside one-of-a-kind pieces, honoring exploration, and letting your creative voice evolve over time.It's a thoughtful, down-to-earth conversation about what it means to make with intention, and I think you'll really enjoy it.Follow Karla...Karla on Instagram: @karlahackmanKarla's Website: karlahackman.comLove the Podcast?Support an episode: ⁠⁠Click here to learn more!⁠⁠Without your support I couldn't continue the Slowmade Podcast.

The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode 201: Purposeful Branding & Calling — with Career Coach Lori BeenRelease Date: SEPT. 3, 2025Host: Jason Davis (Mr. Fortified)Guest: Lori BeenOwner, Panache Career Coaching Services; career coach (25+ years), former university career services leader (Vanderbilt, Belmont), Amazon #1 bestselling author of Purposeful Branding: Discover how your gifts can help you get unstuck in your career and best serve others. Featured in The Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, and Inc. Magazine. Ranked a Top 10 Coach in Nashville every year since 2017.Episode OverviewJason welcomes Lori Been for a practical, faith-forward conversation on vocation, transition, and designing work that serves others. Lori shares her journey from higher-ed career services into entrepreneurship in Nashville's music industry—blending image consulting, media/interview prep, and career coaching—and why she ultimately refocused on purpose-driven coaching for professionals navigating change. The centerpiece of the episode is Lori's framework from Purposeful Branding, which anchors your calling in identity in Christ, clarifies your gifts, defines your audience, and builds a brand that serves.What You'll LearnVocation ≠ Identity: Why Your Work Is Not Your Identity—and How Rooting Your Identity in Christ Protects You Against Idols of Career and Title.From Stifled to Strategic: Recognizing when creativity is being constrained, and practical steps to pivot with wisdom (networking, pilot projects, timing, and “who can I serve?”).Purposeful Branding (beyond logos): Start with gifts → who you serve → how you help → then visuals. Avoid jumping straight to color palettes and logos.Audience Clarity: How to identify the people best served by your natural strengths—often found in what feels “easy” or energizing to you.Transferable Skills: Why experiences across domains (universities, music industry, media coaching) compound and don't “reset” when you change lanes.Faith & Work: Insights from FCCI, the Gotham Program (Redeemer), mission work in the Amazon, and launching church-based vocation ministries.Women & Entrepreneurship: Lori's heart to equip Christian women to build businesses that serve their homes and communities—with schedules that fit real life.Standout Quotes“What you do is not who you are. Your identity is in Christ.”“Pay attention to what feels easy and life-giving—those gifts often point to who you're called to serve.”“Start with who you serve. Then build the brand to match.”“Not everyone can leap today—so prep a strategy now for when God opens the door.”Scripture ReferencesJeremiah 17:9 — Be cautious about “follow your heart”; seek God's wisdom first.Identity in Christ (theme) — Guard against making work an idol; let calling flow from who God says you are.Segment HighlightsOrigin Story & Calling — Early love for campus life; grad program in Higher Ed; decade in university career centers; pivot to Nashville entrepreneurship.Music Industry — Image & interview coaching for artists; networking through contact; lessons on authenticity and message.Purposeful Branding — The framework: gifts, audience, service, authenticity → THEN visuals.Work vs. Identity — Why Titles Shift, Seasons Change, and a Christ-Centered Identity Stabilizes Vocation.Faith & Work Ecosystem — FCCI, Gotham Program, church vocation ministry, Amazon missions.What's Next — A development program to help Christian women start businesses from a place of obedience, ownership, and service.Resources MentionedGuest Book: Purposeful Branding: Discover how your gifts can help you get unstuck in your career and best serve others — AmazonGuest Website: LoriBeen.comSocial: @PanacheCoaching (Facebook, Instagram, X)Jason's Book: Fortify: Being Rooted in God's Plan for Work and Business — AmazonShow Site: FortifiedLifePodcast.comYouTube: The Fortified Life (subscribe)Connect with Lori BeenWebsite: LoriBeen.comSocial: @PanacheCoaching (Facebook • Instagram • X)Connect with Jason Davis / The Fortified LifeWatch live: Wednesdays, 8:30 PM ETPodcast: Apple • Spotify • iHeartRadio (search “The Fortified Life Podcast”)YouTube: The Fortified LifeBook: Fortify on AmazonCalls to ActionListeners: Identify one task this week that energizes you and note who benefits most—then ask God for the next step to serve them better.Share: If this helped you, rate & review and share with a friend who's discerning a career shift.Subscribe: Don't miss new episodes that integrate faith, business, and finance for real-world impact.

Quotes from the episode I am not interested in being in a war with AI.

I'm rooting for you every single day. I really mean that. -Bryan Dewsbury The things I say on day one are not going to mean anything over the course of the semester if I don't give them feedback in a reasonable time or if I'm rude when they answer a question wrong in class. -Bryan Dewsbury The way in which we can interact around this material doesn't have to be one that's dictatorial. -Bryan Dewsbury You don't have to be able to save the world, but you're obligated to try, right?

They explore how the new system aims to better group institutions, highlight student access and earnings, and shift incentives across funding, accountability, and rankings.

“As I was reading Hooks and Freire, a colleague recommended Adrian Rich's essay "Teaching Language in Open Admissions." It was in that essay that I first read about her experiences teaching at CUNY during open admissions, learning that she taught alongside June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Toni Cade Bambara. Eventually, that essay led me to their archival teaching materials. I was really excited because I found in those materials concrete teaching methods, things they were doing in their own classrooms that I then started trying in my classrooms as well. I also really liked their educational philosophies, thinking about what it means for college to be free and the fact that they were teaching during this revolutionary era. What would that look like today? What would it mean? What could free college bring to our society? What does free college make possible? All of those things coming together led me to the project.”In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with Danica Savonick about her marvelous book entitled Open Admissions: The Poetics and Pedagogy of Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich in the Era of Free College. This is a riveting and deeply inspiring story of how each of these luminaries in the fields of literature and feminism found their way into the City University of New York in the 1960s, when community activists had forced open what was called the Harvard for the proletariat to admit new classes of Black, brown, and other people of color. Savonick shows through copious archival research how Bambara, Jordan, Lorde, and Rich each came to find radical teaching methods in collaboration with these new students, and how their experiences with this new pedagogy affected their creative and other writing in profound and lasting ways. This is a critical history we can and must learn from today, when federal and state governments have added to the damage and violence done by the neoliberal university. We find exactly the tools and models we need to create spaces for education for liberation both within, but also outside, the Academy.Danica Savonick is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY Cortland. Her current project focuses on the radical writers and artists who taught at the experimental Livingston College (part of Rutgers University) in the 1970s. Her research has appeared in MELUS, American Literature, Modern Fiction Studies, Radical Teacher, Keywords for Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, Public Books, and The Chronicle of Higher Ed.https://speakingoutofplace.comBluesky @palumboliu.bsky.socialInstagram @speaking_out_of_place

This is a riveting and deeply inspiring story of how each of these luminaries in the fields of literature and feminism found their way into the City University of New York in the 1960s, when community activists had forced open what was called the Harvard for the proletariat to admit new classes of Black, brown, and other people of color. Savonick shows through copious archival research how Bambara, Jordan, Lorde, and Rich each came to find radical teaching methods in collaboration with these new students, and how their experiences with this new pedagogy affected their creative and other writing in profound and lasting ways. This is a critical history we can and must learn from today, when federal and state governments have added to the damage and violence done by the neoliberal university. We find exactly the tools and models we need to create spaces for education for liberation both within, but also outside, the Academy.Danica Savonick is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY Cortland. Her current project focuses on the radical writers and artists who taught at the experimental Livingston College (part of Rutgers University) in the 1970s. Her research has appeared in MELUS, American Literature, Modern Fiction Studies, Radical Teacher, Keywords for Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, Public Books, and The Chronicle of Higher Ed.https://speakingoutofplace.comBluesky @palumboliu.bsky.socialInstagram @speaking_out_of_place
