Learning is always hard work, but sometimes it feels easier and we're more motivated to persist if there's an element of play involved. What can we learn about learning in the context of games that we might use to foster student learning in higher education? That's a topic we've explored several times here on the podcast, and I'm glad to share another discussion of this topic in today's episode. Miguel “Miko” Nino is the director of the Office of Online Learning at the University of North Carolina Pembroke. He is also chair of the UNC Online Leadership Collaboration and serves on the review boards for the Journal of Online Learning Research, Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education, and the Journal of Technology and Teaching Education. He's also an old friend of Leading Lines producer, Julaine Fowlin. She sat down recently with Miko (virtually) to talk about the elements of games and play that we can bring into the learning environment. Miko talks about his passion for learning and games and reasons to “gamify” the learning experiences we design, and he shares lots of practical tools and strategies for doing so.

Dena Ali is a captain with the Raleigh Fire Department in North Carolina. Prior to becoming a firefighter, she served five years as a police officer in North Carolina. She has a masters degree from the University of North Carolina Pembroke, where her research focused on firefighter suicide. Dena is the founder and director of the North Carolina Peer Support team. Dena shares her message internationally, including such outlets as Fire Engineering Magazine and at FDIC International. 

On this episode, I'm joined by Dr. James Hudson, assistant professor of history at the University of North Carolina-Pembroke and Chinese scholar. We're going to talk about the Cultural Revolution, the people involved, the human costs, and the effects it has had on China into the present day.

Dena Ali is a Captain with the Raleigh (NC) Fire Department where she has worked her way up the ranks. She previously served as a police officer for five years. Ali has a degree from North Carolina State University and an MPA from the University of North Carolina—Pembroke, where her research focused on firefighter suicide. As a graduate student, she was awarded the 2018 MPA student of the year. She has also received several awards throughout her career. One that she is most proud of is the NC Office of State Fire Marshal Honor, Courage, and Valor award that she earned in 2018 for her steadfast effort to bring awareness to firefighter mental health through her vulnerability. Dena is an advocate of awareness, education, and understanding of mental health disorders and suicidality. She speaks locally and nationally on these topics and is a QPR Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Instructor. She has written several articles on topics such as suicide prevention, peer support, wellness, and post-traumatic stress. Dena is the founder and director of North Carolina Peer Support where she helped to develop their statewide curriculum. She is also a founding member of the Carolina Brotherhood, a group of cyclists/firefighters in North Carolina who honour the fallen and their families annually.

Our best bet in preventing suicide is to get in front of it. Way in front. Promoting protective factors will not only reduce the risk of suicide — it also is a great way to build a life worth living. In this podcast, I interview Captain Dena Ali about what we have learned about wellness at work from the fire service and about the mitigating effects of social support, mindfulness and sleep. We also talk about the power of peer support to promote these buffering factors and how small interventions can go a long way. As you listen to Captain Ali, ask yourself, “How can these protective factors of the fire service be translated to other industries and workplaces? We are hardwired to connect. According to Ali, “Social support is not just being in the presence of other; it requires meaningful connection and a visceral feeling of safety. You have to feel safe to share your thoughts and know that you are understood.” The fire service has important protectors when it comes to social support like a feeling of camaraderie, familial support, and a communal sense of purpose. Workers pull together around the kitchen table to process the day and check in with one another in meaningful ways. How can we help workers build out their “A-Team”? Mindfulness Ali states, “Mindfulness is the super power that allows humans the opportunity to own the space between a stimulus and the response.” Mindfulness works because it increases activation of the neocortex while decreasing activation of the emotional centers of the brain, which can help mitigate the impact of trauma. Several smartphone applications like Headspace and Calm or the Navy Seal’s Breathing Technique called “box breathing” work to promote resilience. According to Ali, mindfulness for emotional survival is based on where you put your attention. Victims focus on what they can’t control. Survivors focus on what they can control. Sleep disruption is a key contributor to our emotional well-being. The sleeping brain prunes information to let emotionally relevant information stay present while letting irrelevant information fade away. It also helps traumatic events turn into memories experienced from an emotional distance rather than stuck in the reliving part of the brain. Sleep disruption can lead to emotional reactivity — anger, impulsivity and aggression. Dena Ali is a captain with the Raleigh (NC) Fire Department.

Social SupportA strong support network is the most powerful buffer against PTSD, stress, and suicide. True social connection is based on trust, empathy and vulnerability. We can see at the brain science level how simply talking to others allows us to “know and understand what is going on with us while also processing the memories of the trauma.” According to Dr. Van der Kolk, the body keeps score, "As long as you keep secrets and suppress information, you are fundamentally at war with yourself. Hiding your core feelings takes an enormous amount of energy; it saps your motivation to pursue worthwhile goals, and it leaves you feeling bored and shut down. Meanwhile, stress hormones keep flooding your body, leading to headaches, muscle aches, and irrational behaviors that may embarrass you and hurt the people around you.” We are hardwired to connect.

Transcript of Singing, Hospitality and the Sacred Stranger, with Helen Phelan, on Music and the Church with Sarah Bereza, Ep. 45 Helen Phelan: My name is Helen Phelan. I work in a place called the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance. It's at the University of Limerick in Ireland. The Academy was set up in 1994. And it was quite experimental at the time because it was trying to create a space where you would bring together the academic study of performance with theory. And I came into that as a ritual scholar. And so the two areas that I work in mostly are medieval singing - medieval music and chant - and then the kind of work that I was presenting on this morning, which is music and migration. So what are the different kinds of ritual practices that have evolved around new migrant groups in Ireland, and what role is music playing in creating spaces of welcome or hospitality or the opposite? Joshua Busman: One of the themes of this conference has been the the study of religion - especially the study of congregational music - is already interdisciplinary right from the beginning. But I'm curious, what are your interdisciplinary backgrounds. Helen Phelan: I was I began my education as a musician. I am a pianist, I have a background in musicology and ethnomusicology, and I moved into liturgical music through ritual studies. I was teaching music, and I was really struck by how much the teaching of music relies on the theory about music, and the big divide between being a musician, making music, singing, playing an instrument - and the way we theorize about it. And at the same time, I was just, you know, earning my keep as a young student, as a church organist, and working in the church. And I really became fascinated by ritual because I think ritual has this kind of holistic sense. It uses the mind the body, it uses all of our senses, our sense of smell…. And I thought, that's a space that brings all of these together. And I wanted to try to understand that better. So that's what brought me into studying ritual, and the way in which music works in ritual to create these spaces where people interact in different ways from the way we do in our normal day to day life. Joshua Busman: Yeah, I think I remember when I was an undergrad, talking with the professor and talking about my certain interest in r...

Musical virtuosity in church services. Is it showing off? Giving God your best? Christians often come to opposite conclusions. Today's podcast episode is the first in a series about virtuosity. We're kicking off the series by talking with Dr. Joshua Kalin Busman, an Associate Professor at the University of North Carolina—Pembroke. He researches "music in religious communities, liturgical theology, mass-media, and identity politics in American popular music," with a particular focus on Evangelical worship music.  Joshua Busman studies white Evangelical megachurches where virtuosity gets seen as showing off and taking attention away from God. In fact, Josh says that in these churches, "the role of the church musicians is essentially to become invisible." But as the same time, worship music isn't an amateurish style of music (unlike, say, punk), so even though musicians aren't supposed to draw attention to their skills, they do have to be skilled to play it. Martin Luther's contemporary, the theologian Andreas Karlstadt, wrote about this tension that we still feel over 500 years later. Josh describes Karlstadt’s “conundrum" like this: "In order to honor God properly with worship we would want to have a performance that is of the highest possible quality. In fact we can’t imagine a context in which we would need a higher quality performance than a performance in which the primary audience is God. However, in order to execute such a performance, our attention would have to be so fully devoted to executing the performance properly that we would end up canceling out our ability to focus on worshipping, because we would be so fully immersed in trying to execute the performance properly. So there’s this double bind that is sort of seeded into the beginning of thinking about Protestant worship, in which focus on technical proficiency or skill is placed in contract to focus on proper worship.” Enjoying this podcast episode?
