Hello everyone! If you have listened to the podcast for a significant amount of time, you have probably heard me talk about how my son is autistic. It has been a journey, for sure, but something that has been helpful along the way has been all of the great educators who have supported him and his needs. With that said, I couldn't be more excited to bring my talk with Melinda Arnost to you. She is the author of the upcoming book, Empowering Inclusion, and a passionate educator. Melinda is exactly the kind of educator we love to have on Teach Me, Teacher: passionate, innovative, and deeply in love with the work it takes to serve all students.

The Adaptability Paradox: Political Inclusion and Constitutional Resilience (U Chicago Press, 2025) is a complex and important analysis of the American constitutional system, of the U.S. Constitution itself, and the way that pressures on that system have pushed and pulled on the institutions of government, federalism, and ultimately democracy. Stephen Skowronek, the Pelatiah Perit Professor of Political and Social Science at Yale University, continues his work and exploration of the viability of the constitutional system in the United States in this new book, following on the 2022 book: Phantoms of a Beleaguered Republic (with John Dearborn and Desmond King, Oxford University Press, 2022). Skowronek traces the shifts and adaptations of the constitutional system as it contended with waves of democratization, with the anti-bellum expansion of voting rights for all white men, to the post-Civil War period and the passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, through the advocacy at the turn of the 19th century for labor and gender reforms, and then the advent of the Administrative state in the middle of the 20th century, and finally through the Civil Rights/Women's Rights/Sexual Revolution/Disability Rights period of the 1960s and 1970s. Part of the argument is that the system itself adapted, becoming more democratic and inclusive with regard to particular groups while at the same time loosening up the constitutional system as a whole. Even with these democratic advances over the course of 250 years, each iterative cycle also tended to exclude other groups of citizens. This tension—with the extension of rights to groups who had been excluded, only to have other groups excluded to keep this ballast of the system—goes to the heart of the promise of democracy within this constitutional system. And we find ourselves with the Constitution under significant stress, with the growth and implementation of substantial presidentialism and an undue dependence on judicial supremacy, leaving the structures of the system potentially unmoored from the very document and ideas that created the system itself. This also gets at the apparent loss of consensus around the idea of the United States, the lack of a common vision of a great commercial republic, which was at the heart of the American Founding. Skowronek also notes that the U.S. Constitution is particularly inept at pursuing social justice, especially within the context of the common vision of a great commercial republic. The Adaptability Paradox is a vitally important book examining the current constitutional dismay in which we find ourselves and provides the historical and political paths that brought us here. We learn a great deal about the tensions between democracy and the American constitutional system—which have been at the heart of the U.S. system since the early days of the republic, but have become much more attenuated of late, with a general lack of consensus around the purpose of constitutional system itself.

How can you be proactive in your inclusivity?...Today, Abbie, Jamie, and Celia explore disability through the lens of a communication perspective, talking about transforming exclusion into inclusion in every space, changing narratives to focus on "the problem" as an inaccessible society rather than any one disabled individual, unlearning our internalized ableism as a necessary step for all of us, becoming proactive rather than reactive in our inclusive accessibility practices, and creating space for more stories that acknowledge both the systemic nature of ableism with the individual experiences of disability. ...Jamie Shields is a multi-award-winning Disability, Speaker, Trainer and Consultant, Content Creator and Disability Advocate, Registered Blind AuDHD Rhino, the UK's 2nd most influential grassroots Disability advocate. Celia Chartres-Aris is a Disabled Government Advisor, Founder & Investor, Multi-Award Winning Campaigner and Lobbyist, Researcher, Policy and Legal Expert, Speaker and Consultant, recognised as the UK's most influential Disabled person. Together, they are the founders of Disabled By Society, a 100% Disabled owned and led business transforming exclusion to inclusion. 17% of the world's population identifies as Disabled, making us the largest minority group in the world. Despite this, ableism is one of the most under addressed, under-discussed, and underrepresented conversations in society. Society is failing to unlearn our inherent ableism. Everyday, Disabled people face aggressions, encounter inaccessible barriers, are excluded, overlooked, treated as a burden, or seen as a problem to be fixed. As a result, Disabled people are often left to manage internalised ableism in this ableist society. We are on a mission to change this. We cant sit back and do nothing. We partner globally across all sectors to remove the ableism ingrained in cultures, recruitment, products and services, policies, and everything in between. We make the uncomfortable comfortable, ending cycles of oppression and creating an inclusive society that is accessible, empowers, represents and provides opportunity for everyone. Our ground-breaking research and policy work has fed into reviews and cited across the world as never-before-seen data by and for the Disabled community. And through policy, lobbying, consultancy, training, an award-winning podcast, Celia and Jamie deliver award-winning solutions that transform Disability exclusion to inclusion.

A fall from a tree, a 42-day coma, and seven years of recovery could have ended a future. For Abdus Sattar Dulal, it sparked one. We sit down with the world president of Disabled Peoples' International to trace a path from a village in Bangladesh to the halls shaping global disability policy, and we ask what it takes to turn rights on paper into access in real life.Dulal recounts building community from the ground up: opening a small shop, organizing youth, teaching adults to read, and then stepping into a factory job won after a chess tournament. There, he called out discrimination, faced threats, and chose a different fight—founding a cross-disability organization that he fueled after-hours for years. That drive grew into regional labor advocacy that placed disabled workers into industry roles, then into global leadership through DPI, an alliance spanning about 140 countries with consultative status at the UN and a decisive role in advancing the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.We unpack how treaties become tangible change, from Bangladesh's rights and protection act to the stubborn gaps that persist: inaccessible schools, untrained teachers, hospitals without sign language interpreters or accessible beds, and websites that lock out shoppers. We also confront the data problem—how countries define disability differently, why hidden disabilities slip the net, and what that means for planning, funding, and accountability. Dulal doesn't mince words about the funding shortfall; for a population that touches half the world when families are counted, investment remains far too small. His answer is empowerment: disabled leadership setting priorities, controlling budgets, and measuring outcomes so inclusion stops being a promise and becomes a system.If you care about disability rights, digital accessibility, education, and the UNCRPD, this conversation offers history, strategy, and a blueprint: align laws with the convention, train frontline professionals, mandate access across physical and digital spaces, improve data, and fund disabled people's organizations to lead. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review with the one change you want to see funded first.Support the showFollow axschat on social media.Bluesky:Antonio https://bsky.app/profile/akwyz.com Debra https://bsky.app/profile/debraruh.bsky.social Neil https://bsky.app/profile/neilmilliken.bsky.social axschat https://bsky.app/profile/axschat.bsky.social LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniovieirasantos/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/axschat/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilmilliken/Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/akwyzhttps://twitter.com/axschathttps://twitter.com/AkwyZhttps://twitter.com/neilmillikenhttps://twitter.com/debraruh

They explore the challenges faced by churches during winter weather, the significance of John the Baptist's message, and the tension between expectations and reality during the Advent season. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community, patience, and the transformative power of faith, while also addressing the need for inclusivity and understanding in the church. Takeaways Advent is a time of reflection and preparation for the coming of Christ. John the Baptist's doubts highlight the human experience of uncertainty. Jesus invites us to see the good news in our midst, even amidst disappointment. The readings from Isaiah emphasize hope and restoration for the community. Patience in faith is not passive; it requires active engagement and community building. Transformation is a key theme in the Christmas narrative. The kingdom of God is present in acts of love and justice. Inclusivity is essential in understanding the message of the Gospel. Advent invites us to hold the tension between joy and sorrow. The church's role is to support and uplift those in need.

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, the Abbot of the Zen Mountain Monastery, about the intersection of traditional Buddhist practice and modern American life. Shugen elucidates the role of an Abbot as both a spiritual teacher and administrator before diving into core Buddhist concepts, explaining how the suffering caused by clinging to a permanent sense of self can be alleviated through the "Middle Way" and non-attachment. The conversation explores Shugen's personal journey, from his upbringing in Atlanta during the Civil Rights movement—where the societal silence regarding segregation prompted his deep questioning of culture and history—to his transition from a budding career in mathematics and music to a disciplined monastic life in the Hudson Valley. They conclude by discussing the delicate balance between maintaining a cloistered environment for deep meditation and fulfilling the Bodhisattva vow of service, highlighting the monastery's efforts to engage with the wider community through social justice initiatives and anti-bias training. Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi is the Head of the Mountains and Rivers Order and Abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery. Shugen entered full-time residential training in 1986 after studying mathematics and receiving a degree in classical music. He received dharma transmission from John Daido Loori, Roshi in 1997. His teachings on Zen, social justice and environmental stewardship have appeared in various Buddhist journals, and The Best Buddhist Writing 2009 (Shambhala Publications). His book of poetry, O, Beautiful End (https://monasterystore.org/o-beautiful-end/), a collection of Zen memorial poems, was published in 2012. https://zmm.org/

Building strong organizations isn't just about profits; it's about the people who make it all happen! Today, we're chatting with Faith Clarke, an expert in organizational health and teamwork, who's got the inside scoop on how teamwork, inclusion, and purpose-driven leadership can really make or break a company. Faith shares her journey from engineering to becoming a powerhouse in helping businesses create diverse teams that not only thrive but also deliver social impact. We dive into the nitty-gritty of how organizational health is rooted in the well-being of individuals and the community, emphasizing that it's not just about the numbers but about nurturing a culture where everyone can flourish. So, grab your favorite snack and settle in as we explore how to build teams that are as strong as they are compassionate!In this episode of Becoming Bridge Builders, we unpack the treasure trove of insights shared by Faith Clarke, an expert in organizational health and teamwork. As we sat down with her, the conversation flowed like a smooth jazz melody, touching on the intricacies of fostering an inclusive work environment. Faith's background is fascinating; she transitioned from dreams of medicine to engineering, and now, she's shaping the future of organizations by focusing on their internal dynamics. One of the standout moments was her take on organizational health — she defines it not by metrics alone but by the people who make up the organization. Faith passionately argues that when we truly care for our teams, we see not just an uptick in morale but also in productivity and innovation. Throughout our discussion, we explore the concept of ‘team cognition' and how it plays a crucial role in how teams operate, especially during times of change, like the pandemic. Faith's research dives into how people come together, forming bonds akin to family, which is vital for collaboration. This episode isn't just a talk about theory; it's packed with actionable advice on how leaders can enhance their organizations by prioritizing trust, inclusion, and genuine connection among team members. If you're looking to transform your workplace into a thriving community, this episode is your goldmine.Takeaways: Organizational health is about nurturing people, not just metrics; it's all about creating environments where individuals can thrive and connect meaningfully with each other. Inclusion is key: organizations need to design their onboarding processes to connect new members to the heart and mission of the team, ensuring they feel valued from the get-go. Effective teamwork is built on trust; if trust is compromised, even the best plans can fall apart, so investing in trust-building is essential for sustainable success. Leaders must treat themselves as the first priority; if they're not taking care of their own well-being, they can't expect their teams to thrive either. Building a culture of care means everyone in the organization, not just HR, should be involved in welcoming and supporting new team members to foster connection and engagement. True organizational change requires a commitment to nurturing the human element in work; when people feel valued, productivity and creativity naturally increase.

This ideological shift, accelerated through boardroom political calculations, led to widespread adoption of corporate acronyms including ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion), redirecting corporate focus from shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. Larry Fink's BlackRockstrategically recognized that managing progressive-oriented investment funds could attract trillions in assets, positioning the firm as a powerful enforcer of these policies across corporate America. 1927
