Podcast appearances and mentions of laura arndt

Because our children are so precious to us, we want to tell them everything we know, but that can easily overwhelm them. We asked Laura Arndt to join us again to help us share the “words of eternal life” with our littles so that God's Word can be treasure for them as well. This is all about enjoying God together with elementary age children for parents, grandparents, teachers, Sunday School teachers, and all who serve our younger sisters and brothers in Christ. Come, join the chat for you and for the people we are called to protect and inspire.

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to help us learn and reflect on what we need to know and do. The Indigenous residential school system was designed to isolate Indigenous children from their culture, religion, and identity to assimilate them into the dominant colonial culture. The impacts of this repressive system are still felt today and injustices of the past have still not been reconciled.To help us unpack the history and these complex ideas is Laura Arndt, Chief operating officer of Survivors' Secretariat, a survivor-lead organization mandated to uncover the truth about unmarked burial grounds. Laura is dedicated to the importance of dialogue and focuses her work on the complexity of kinship, relationships, and community through the lens of culture, identity, and belonging. She has diverse experience and is deeply committed to her work, community, and family. Laura is proudly Mohawk and clan member of the Six Nations of the Grand River, on the board of directors for Feathers of Hope, and regularly volunteers at the Jays Care Foundation. To add to her exhaustive list of expertise, she serves on the Ontario Law Society Tribunal, the Indigenous Advisory Circle for Right to Play Canada, and is a Ph.D. candidate in Cultural Studies at Queens University. In our conversation, she shares her knowledge as we discuss the history and the lasting negative legacy of the Canadian Indian residential school system. We learn about the important work she is doing, her personal connection with the work she does, and what motivates her. We also discuss the importance of justice, cultural identity and community, and how she approaches her work. She also shares simple steps to begin dialogue and book recommendations that will get you started.

For our eighth episode of “Advancing justice,” we will examine the relationships between human rights, racism, and the criminal justice system from the perspective of Indigenous people. Joining Maytree president Elizabeth McIsaac for this discussion is Laura Arndt. Laura Arndt can speak to these issues from many perspectives. Laura is a Mohawk woman. She is a daughter, niece, and granddaughter of Indian Residential School survivors. Laura is the former Director of Strategic Development at the Office of the Ontario Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth and is currently completing her PhD in Cultural Studies at Queen’s University. Laura is the Chair of Indigenous Studies at Centennial College but has taken a secondment from that role to be the Chief Operating Officer of the Survivor’s Secretariat which is investigating the unmarked graves associated with the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School near Brantford Ontario.

Tanzende Zellen, traurige Botenstoffe und allwissende Laborkittel – solche Vereinfachungen helfen Wissenschaftler*innen dabei, ihre komplexe Forschung (unterhaltsam) zu erklären. Wie schwierig die Abwägung von Vereinfachung, Storytelling und Vermenschlichung wissenschaftlicher Sachverhalte sein kann, beschreibt Laura in ihrem zweiten MINT-Spaziergang. Sie spricht im Podcast über drei Gratwanderungen in der Wissenschaftskommunikation und über das Buch "Komisch, alles chemisch!" von Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim.

Wissenschaft zu verstehen ist nicht selbstverständlich, sondern muss erlernt werden. Erst wenn wir die Prozesse der Forschung verstehen, können wir ihre Ergebnisse richtig einordnen und verwenden. Ein wichtiger Grundstein wird im Schulunterricht sowie in der Hochschullehre gesetzt: Laura Arndt erforscht in ihrer Doktorarbeit an der Pädagogischen Hochschule Heidelberg, wie es um das Wissenschaftsverständnis steht. Im Bildungsplausch spricht die Promovierende über ihre Forschungsarbeit und ihre ersten Schritte mit der Wissenschaftscommunity.

In dieser besonderen Folge begleitet ihr Laura auf ihrem Spaziergang durchs Handschuhsheimer Feld und habt an ihren Überlegungen zur MINT-Bildung teil. Ihre Fragestellung: Stärkt die Verschulung die außerschulische MINT-Bildung? Eigentlich empfinden wir "Verschulung" als negativ, weil sie mit Vorgaben, Einengung und Linearisierung assoziiert wird. Als Werkzeug für die Steigerung von Passung und Transparenz ist die Verschulung bzw. die inhaltliche Systematisierung mehr als eine Überlegung wert.

Das Heidelberger Kompetenz Training (HKT) wird in Zeiten von Corona besonders gebraucht: Mentale Stärke unterstützt uns in dieser Zeit der Umorientierung und Einschränkung, lebt aber von der Arbeit miteinander. Auch Daniel Preuß hat sich neu orientiert und hat gemeinsam mit Herr Prof. Knörzer das HKT kurzerhand in ein Webinar umgewandelt. Laura Arndt hat ihn für diese Folge gefragt, wie er vorgegangen ist und was er empfiehlt, um solch eine Hürde zu meistern.

Wissenschaftliche Forschung und Erkenntnisgewinnung werden in Zeiten von Corona großgeschrieben. Tagtäglich gibt es neue wissenschaftliche Informationen, die wir ständig verarbeiten müssen, um weiter am Ball bleiben zu können. Dabei verrät uns die Coronakrise nicht nur, wie unterschiedlich der Umgang mit diesen Informationen sein kann, sondern auch welche Haltungen wir zur Wissenschaft einnehmen. In dieser Folge spricht Laura Arndt darüber, welche Haltungen das sind, welche Gefahren sie bergen können und wo zukünftiger Förderbedarf besteht. Eine Literaturliste zur Folge findet ihr hier zum Download.
