Political Theorist Laura Field has written an insightful and detailed exploration of the people and the ideas that have shaped the second Trump Administration (and some contributed, as well, to the first Trump Administration.) While Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right (Princeton UP, 2025) is about quite a few scholars and academics, it is written like a propulsive page-turner of a book. And Field takes us through all the of the ins and outs of the individuals who have pursued a path to power and policy development, often from positions in the Ivory Tower. Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right is truly fascinating, since it is not simply about egg-headed academics writing up white papers or books, or simply about presidential advisors and the way they have worked to influence the president or put particular policies into place. Instead, Field interrogates the construction of the ideas that have come to dominate this New Right, seeking their genesis and how these ideas, which are divided into three distinct but overlapping intellectual camps, have made their way to the Trump Administration, through Trump himself, Vice President J.D. Vance, and so many of the advisors and cabinet members who surround Trump. Field's training in political theory, especially Straussian political theory, contributes to her understanding and analysis of the individuals at the heart of the story in Furious Minds—and how these particular academics think, but in particular how they think about politics and political projects. The substance of Furious Minds is focused on the past decade or so of engagement between these various schools of thought and the Trump Administration—both while in elected office as well as during the out of office interregnum. At the same time, Field traces the deep origins of some of these schools of thought through the longer conservative tradition in the United States. In our discussion, we explore the Claremonters, the Postliberals, and the National Conservatives. Each group is populated by well-educated (PhDs, published authors, etc.) individuals (mostly men) who are urging a concept of the common good, as they define it, on to the American people, through the Trump Administration's rhetoric, policies, institutional dispositions, cultural approaches, and general demeanor. Field takes all of these thinkers and ideas seriously, making the case for understanding both the ideas themselves and their origins, while also critiquing much of this by exposing the more extremist bases behind these paths of thinking as well as the people who are purveying them. Furious Minds: The Making of the MAGA New Right is a tour de force of the intellectual and political landscape that has brought us to the midst of the second Trump Administration and provides the reader with deep insight into the radical origins of the myths and concepts that are the backbone of the current Trump Administration and the current Republican Party. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She studied political theory at Kenyon College and Boston College. She is co-host of the New Books in Political Science channel at the New Books Network. She is co-editor of The Politics of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Volume I: The Infinity Saga (University Press of Kansas, 2022), and of The Politics of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Volume II: Into the Multiverse (University Press of Kansas, 2025) as well as co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012).

30 años de La Broma Infinita: El futuro que nos alcanzó

Dr. S. Georgia Nugent shares a leadership story shaped by an itinerant childhood, moving several times a year as the daughter of a thoroughbred racehorse trainer, and by the experience of being a first-generation college student entering Princeton University in its first class of women. Her path into higher education leadership unfolded through unexpected invitations, formative mentors, and moments when values had to guide difficult decisions. In this episode, Dr. Nugent reflects candidly on how leaders come to know themselves, why institutional clarity matters, and what it means to uphold academic values when free speech, community well-being, and moral responsibility collide. Now serving as President-in-Residence at the American Academic Leadership Institute, she brings decades of lived experience as a scholar and president to her reflections on the human weight of leadership in higher education. Read the full episode transcript. Interview recorded December 2025. 

Why do some moments feel enormous while others vanish from memory? Why do two people experience the same event and walk away with completely different interpretations? And why do we so often repeat stories about ourselves that keep us stuck? In this episode, we explore narrative identity—the science-backed idea that who we are is shaped not just by what happens to us, but by the story we tell about what happens. But small shifts in perspective can radically change those narratives. In this episode we unpack what it means to notice the script, question it, and rewrite it. We also dive into the research showing that the ability to find agency and redemption in our stories is one of the strongest predictors of mental health.

When most people think about the 1970s, they're likely to conjure up images of Watergate, oil shortages, disco, and outrageous hairstyles. When academic political historians have thought about the 1970s, they have tended to see the era largely as one in which the forces of conservatism gained strength, setting the stage for Ronald Reagan's election as president in 1980 and the subsequent decades of “neoliberalism,” in which both parties tended to agree that market forces needed to be liberated from the heavy hand of government. But a new generation of historians argues that this reading shortchanges many of the Democratic politicians active in the 1970s and the years that followed, particularly the New Liberals. These were the people who wanted the Democratic Party to regain its political momentum by reforming liberalism as well as the party. The New Liberals included intellectuals like Robert Reich and Ira Magaziner, business figures like Felix Rohatyn and Robert Rubin, and politicians including Gary Hart, Paul Tsongas, Jerry Brown, and of course Bill Clinton, who arguably brought the New Liberal project to fruition by winning the presidency in 1992. Henry Tonks, a historian at Kenyon College, has written a dissertation reevaluating the New Liberals. He argues that while they did pave the way toward the modern Democratic Party, they didn't capitulate to Reaganism or repudiate their New Deal heritage. Rather, they tried to reinvent liberalism by adapting it to an economy that was becoming more globalized as well as less industrial and more reliant upon financial services and advanced technology. They embraced industrial policy and worried about whether America was falling behind its commercial rivals, particularly Japan. Tonks argues that while New Liberals didn't correctly diagnose the changes to the economy in all of its particulars, their policy vision retains considerable relevance to today's politics — and particularly the discussion around the Abundance movement.

Greenhushing, Communication, and Stakeholder Engagement for Endowments with Lane Jost In this crossover episode of The Future of Finance and Beyond Carbon, hosts Georges Dyer and Chris Ito sit down with Lane Jost, Head of Sustainability & Governance Advisory at Edelman Smithfield, for a candid conversation about the evolving ESG and sustainable investing landscape. Lane traces the arc of ESG from its “1.0” early days to today's politically charged environment, unpacking the dynamics of greenwashing, greenhushing, regulatory risk, and the often-confusing language that shapes public perception. They examine what this moment means for endowments, asset managers, and campus stakeholders, and discuss Edelman Smithfield's work with endowments on strategic communications strategies. Ultimately, the episode balances realism about political headwinds with optimism about market innovation, improved governance, and the long-term trajectory toward resilience and value creation. Guest Lane Jost – Head of Sustainability & Governance Advisory at Edelman Smithfield Background Lane Jost leads the Sustainability & Governance Advisory Practice at Edelman Smithfield, bringing 16 years of sustainability leadership across facilities management, financial services, and consulting. Previously, he served on PwC's national Responsible Business Leadership team, contributing to the firm's global net zero strategy. Lane has held senior ESG roles at Santander US and Sodexo USA, developing sustainability strategies and managing significant grant portfolios. He holds degrees from UC San Diego and Kenyon College. Conversation Green Hushing May Actually Be Beneficial - The pullback from aggressive ESG marketing forces organizations to focus on substance over rhetoric, emphasizing rigorous processes and how ESG factors genuinely drive value and risk management. ESG Terminology Will Evolve, But Core Principles Remain - While "ESG" may fade within 3-5 years, evaluating material environmental, social, and governance factors remains fundamental to investment decisions regardless of political climate or terminology changes. Communications Must Align With Portfolio Management Reality - Strategic communications should be conservative, transparent, and grounded in fiduciary stewardship. Avoid making unvalidated claims, particularly given emerging regulatory risks around greenwashing in multiple jurisdictions. Context Matters: One Size Doesn't Fit All - Appropriate approaches vary by institution. Small liberal arts colleges have more latitude for impact investing, while large state universities face greater scrutiny. Mission and stakeholder context determine strategy. Educational Institutions Have Unique Teaching Opportunities - Universities should engage students in real-world discussions about balancing financial constraints, stakeholder pressures, climate risks, and portfolio construction—providing invaluable practical experience beyond traditional classroom learning.

In this episode of 'One in Ten,' host Teresa Huizar speaks with Dr. Maggie Stevenson, Associate Professor of Psychology at Kenyon College, about the interplay between jurors' personal histories of child sexual abuse and their attitudes and decisions in similar cases. The conversation delves into Dr. Stevenson's meta-analysis study, which explores whether adult survivors of child sexual abuse exhibit more empathy toward child victims and examines the implications for jury selection. The discussion highlights how severity of past abuse impacts juror empathy, potential biases, and the need for more trauma-informed practices within the court system. The episode raises important questions about practical legal implications and suggests areas for future research to ensure fairness in child sexual abuse trials.  Time Stamps: TimeTopic 00:00 Introduction to Today's Topic 01:28 Meet Dr. Maggie Stevenson 02:06 Research Background and Study Design 04:53 Key Findings and Implications 10:17 Challenges in Defining Severity 21:01 Practical Implications for the Court System 26:04 Future Research Directions 31:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts  Resources:More Severe Juror Sexual Abuse Strengthens Empathy for Child Sexual Abuse Victims: Meta-Analyses - Tayler M.

Cheryl Pope is an interdisciplinary visual artist who questions and responds to issues of identity as it relates to the individual and the community, specifically regarding race, gender, class, history, power, and place. Her practice emerges from the act and politics of listening, and recently introduces a novel material to explore the artist's memories. Referencing the familiar repertoire of the French Post-Impressionist, Intimist, and Imagist paintings, Pope recreates deeply personal recollections that cinematically compose the silent complexities of beautiful and tragic oscillations between love and loss in our everyday lives. Images of couples are drawn from memory, referencing the artist's own relationships and moments of disconnect, anxiety, and desire, while beach scenes depicting a mother and child accentuate a tender stillness of caregiving. In these scenes, the figures exist in a nest of choreography–a rotating stage of mystery, tragedy, and poetry of day-to-day living with feelings of presence and absence woven throughout.     Pope (b.1980, Chicago, IL) received her MA in Design (2010) and BFA (2003) from the School of the Art Institute, Chicago, IL, where she is an Adjunct Professor.  Pope has had recent solo exhibitions at moniquemeloche, Chicago, IL (2022, 2019); The Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS (2022); Rockford Art Museum, Rockford, IL (2019); Galleria Bianconi, Milan, Italy (2019); Andres Guerrero Gallery, San Francisco, CA (2018); and Fort Gansevoort, New York, NY (2017). Notable group presentations include Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, MI (2023); The FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY (2023 2021); Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY (2023); Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, Kalamazoo, MI (2022); Weinberg/Newton Gallery, Chicago, IL (2022); Skin in the Gamecurated by Zoe Lukov, Chicago, IL (2022); Fountainhead, Miami, FL (2021); Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA (2021); Virginia MOCA, Virgina Beach, VA (2021); and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL (2020). Pope's work will be included in the upcoming group exhibition Get in the Game: Sport and Contemporary Culture at SFMoMA in 2024. Pope's work is in the collections of Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, FL; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; UBS Art Collection, New York, NY; Joan Flasche Artists Book Collection, Chicago, IL; Seattle Art Museum, WA; Honolulu Museum of Art, HI; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; Poetry Foundation, Chicago, IL; DePaul University Art Museum, Chicago, IL; Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, VA; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD; United States Embassy, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; The Jackson West Memorial Hospital, Miami, FL; and The Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita, KS.

Text: Mark 10:17–31 Coleton taught from the story of the rich young ruler, highlighting how a man who seemed to have everything—morality, status, and wealth—still lacked the one thing that truly mattered: Jesus. His story shows us three important lessons we must learn if we want to experience eternal life and freedom. 1. Good Moral Behavior Cannot Earn Eternal Life The rich man did everything right—he kept the commandments, approached Jesus with humility, and even received Jesus' love—but he still lacked something. Jesus identified the issue: the man didn't want Jesus, he wanted eternal life on his own terms. Eternal life isn't a reward for good behavior; it's a relationship with Jesus. Jesus made this clear: “You still lack one thing… come, follow me.” (v. 21) Eternal life is not about what you've done; it's about who you're with. Jesus offers Himself, not a checklist. And many religious people today are in danger of missing Jesus because they substitute routines for relationship. “Eternal life is life with Jesus, not just doing things for Jesus.” 2. You Will Always Sacrifice for What You Worship Jesus asked the man to give up his wealth because it had become his god. But the man walked away sad. Why? Because even though he said no to Jesus, he still sacrificed something—his joy—for his idol. Coleton showed how everyone sacrifices for what they worship: money, power, approval, comfort—all demand sacrifice. The question isn't will you sacrifice? but for whom or what will you sacrifice? The promise of Jesus is that any sacrifice for Him is always worth it. He gives back more—both in this life and the one to come. 3. Many People Stay Trapped Because They Choose To The man recognized something was missing in his life. He came to Jesus looking for answers. Jesus gave him one—but the man chose to walk away sad. Like a monkey caught in a trap holding onto rice, the man wouldn't let go of what was trapping him. His imprisonment was a choice. Many of us are the same. Jesus offers freedom, joy, and life—but we reject it because we won't let go of control, sin, pride, or pain. Coleton challenged the listeners to stop choosing captivity when Jesus offers freedom. ⸻ Discussion Questions:     1.    In what ways are you tempted to treat eternal life like a reward instead of a relationship?     2.    Are there areas in your life where you're “doing the right things” but missing closeness with Jesus?     3.    What are you currently sacrificing for the thing you worship most? Is it worth the cost?     4.    Jesus promises more than what you sacrifice—do you trust Him to provide in the places you feel afraid to let go?     5.    Is there something you know Jesus is calling you to let go of—but you've been holding onto it? What's keeping you from releasing it?     6.    Have you ever felt like the rich man—sad, stuck, or spiritually dry—despite doing everything “right”? What do you think Jesus might be inviting you into instead? ⸻ Quoted Authors and Illustrations:     •    John Maxwell “A wise person learns from his mistakes. A wiser one learns from others' mistakes.”     •    David Foster Wallace (from his 2005 Kenyon College commencement address) “There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships… Worship money and you will never have enough… Worship your body and beauty and you will always feel ugly… Worship power and you will feel weak… Worship your intellect… you will end up feeling like a fraud.”     •    Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance “There's an old South Indian Monkey Trap… The only reason [the monkey] can't be free is because of his own choices.” ⸻ Key Takeaways:     •    Eternal life isn't earned—it's received through a relationship with Jesus.     •    Everyone sacrifices for what they worship. The only safe place to direct that sacrifice is Jesus.     •    Sometimes the reason we stay stuck is not because there's no way out—but because we won't let go of what's trapping us.  

Genevieve Wood of the Heritage Foundation breaks down the shocking decision by the National Education Association, America's largest teachers union, to sever ties with the Anti-Defamation League over its longstanding pro-Israel stance. The NEA's move reflects a disturbing shift within education unions influenced by anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments, extending beyond campuses into K-12 schools nationwide. Wood highlights alarming reports that 83% of Jewish college students face hate on campuses, with little institutional pushback—as seen in a heartbreaking story from Kenyon College. The conversation shifts to Elon Musk's potential third-party run, which Wood dismisses as a likely vote-splitter harmful to conservatives. She advises conservatives to focus on reform within existing parties rather than chasing unlikely third-party success.

From rural Ohio to a seat at Morgan Stanley, Aishik's story is one of determination, adaptability, and hustle. As an international student from India attending a small liberal arts college, Aishik faced a steep uphill climb—limited alumni network, a packed STEM schedule, and the need for visa sponsorship. But through WSO Academy, he ramped up his technical prep, scaled networking from 30 to over 150 calls, and landed three Superdays, ultimately securing a highly competitive offer at Morgan Stanley's Hedge Fund Services team.

Ecclesiastes 11:9-12:13 Delightful Days (vv. 11:10) The gusto of youthful living The guide of youthful living Difficult Days (vv. 12:1-8) Remember the approach of the ebb of life Remember the approach of the end of life Decision Day (vv. 12:9-13) The author's commission The author's conclusion More to Consider Everybody has got to live for something, but Jesus is arguing that, if he is not that thing, it will fail you. First, it will enslave you. Whatever that thing is, you will tell yourself that you have to have it or there is no tomorrow. That means that if anything threatens it, you will become inordinately scared; if anyone blocks it, you will become inordinately angry; and if you fail to achieve it, you will never be able to forgive yourself. But second, if you do achieve it, it will fail to deliver the fulfillment you expected. Let me give you an eloquent contemporary expression of what Jesus is saying. Nobody put this better than the American writer David Foster Wallace. He got to the top of his profession. He was an award-winning, bestselling postmodern novelist known around the world for his boundary-pushing storytelling. He once wrote a sentence that was more than a thousand words long. A few years before the end of his life, he gave a now-famous commencement speech at Kenyon College. He said to the graduating class, Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god... to worship... is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. Its the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure, and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before [your loved ones] finally plant you.... Worship power, and you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. Look, the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they are evil or sinful; it is that theyre unconscious. They are default settings. Wallace was by no means a religious person, but he understood that everyone worships, everyone trusts in something for their salvation, everyone bases their lives on something that requires faith. A couple of years after giving that speech, Wallace killed himself. And this nonreligious mans parting words to us are pretty terrifying: Something will eat you alive. Because even though you might never call it worship, you can be absolutely sure you are worshipping and you are seeking. And Jesus says, Unless youre worshipping me, unless Im the center of your life, unless youre trying to get your spiritual thirst quenched through me and not through these other things, unless you see that the solution must come inside rather than just pass by outside, then whatever you worship will abandon you in the end.Timothy Keller,Encounters with Jesus: Unexpected Answers to Life's Biggest Questions

At the turn of the common era, the Jewish communities of Roman Palestine saw the organization of a small group of literate Jewish men who devoted their lives to the interpretation and teaching of their sacred ancestral texts. In How Rabbis Became Experts: Social Circles and Donor Networks in Jewish Late Antiquity (Princeton University Press, 2025), Krista Dalton shows that these early rabbis were not an insular specialist group but embedded in a landscape of Jewish piety. Drawing on the writings of rabbis in Roman Palestine from the second through fifth centuries CE, Dalton illuminates the significance of social relationships in the production of rabbinic expertise. She traces the social interactions—everyday instances of mutual exchange, from dinner parties to tithes and patronages—that fostered the perception of rabbis as experts. Dalton shows how the knowledge derived from the rabbis' technical skills was validated and recognized by others. Rabbis socialized and noshed with neighbors and offered advice and legal favors to friends. In exchange for their expert judgments, they received invitations, donations, appointments, and recognition. She argues that their status as Torah experts did not arise by virtue of being scholars but from their ability to persuade others that their mobilization of Jewish cultural resources was beneficial. Dalton describes the relational processes that made rabbinic expertise possible as well as the accompanying tensions; social interactions shaped the rabbis' domain of knowledge while also imposing expectations of reciprocity that had to be managed. Dalton's authoritative analysis demonstrates that a focus on friendship and exchange provides a fuller understanding of how rabbis claimed and defended their distinct expertise.

Listeners-we're sorry! We uploaded this episode but it disappeared off the podcast distributor for some reason. -The left half of the country, and a good portion of the right, is defenseless against covert narcissism. They're treating Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a poor bullied little boy, and castigating Trump and Vance as "bullies." This is the biggest moral reversal of the current Trump era. -As children pay for the crimes of their abusive parents, so do normal, tough men pay for the crime of setting limits and boundaries. The reaction to the oval office meeting this week shows more than half the country will turn on their own president working in their own interests. It's a pure form of Cluster B reversal that should be preserved in amber for posterity. -Potpourri due Moquerie takes on Wisconsin's ban on the words "mother" and "husband," troons gone wild who still get called ladies in headlines, and deviant demands to Kenyon College to venerate trannies above all other gods.

James Arlington Wright was born on December 13, 1927, in Martins Ferry, Ohio. His father worked for fifty years at a glass factory, and his mother left school at fourteen to work in a laundry; neither attended school beyond the eighth grade. While in high school in 1943, Wright suffered a nervous breakdown and missed a year of school. When he graduated in 1946, a year late, he joined the U.S. Army and was stationed in Japan during the American occupation. He then attended Kenyon College on the G.I. Bill, and studied under John Crowe Ransom. While there, he also befriended future fellow poet Robert Mezey. Wright graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1952. Wright traveled to Austria, where, on a Fulbright Fellowship, he studied the works of Theodor Storm and Georg Trakl at the University of Vienna. He returned to the U.S. and earned master's and doctoral degrees at the University of Washington, studying with Theodore Roethke and Stanley Kunitz. He went on to teach at The University of Minnesota, Macalester College, and New York City's Hunter College.The poverty and human suffering Wright witnessed as a child profoundly influenced his writing and he used his poetry as a mode to discuss his political and social concerns. He modeled his work after that of Thomas Hardy and Robert Frost, whose engagement with profound human issues and emotions he admired. The subjects of Wright's earlier books, The Green Wall (Yale University Press, 1957), winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award, and Saint Judas (Wesleyan University Press, 1959), include men and women who have lost love or have been marginalized from society and they invite the reader to step in and experience the pain of their isolation. Wright possessed the ability to reinvent his writing style at will, moving easily from stage to stage. His earlier work adheres to conventional systems of meter and stanza, while his later work exhibits more open, looser forms, as with The Branch Will Not Break (Wesleyan University Press, 1963).Wright was elected a fellow of the Academy of American Poets in 1971, and, the following year, his Collected Poems (Wesleyan University Press) received the Pulitzer Prize in Poetry.Wright died in New York City on March 25, 1980.
