Today, we explore a subject that has been under-examined at Heterodox Academy: Religious viewpoint diversity. The piece, Religion: A Viewpoint Diversity Blind Spot?, was written by Dr. Seth Kaplan. He teaches at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies of Johns Hopkins University. Today's episode is part of a new effort this summer to explore the nuances of religious viewpoint diversity within higher education. On July 26th, we're going to be hosting a live event on the tensions between religious faith and truth-seeking in both secular and religious colleges and universities. Learn more. To engage deeper with these ideas, check out our related posts: Inviting Religion Into the Classroom by Jill DeTemple To Heal Our Religious Divisions, We Must Embrace the Unaffiliated Souls of Young Americans by Kevin Singer For comments and questions email communications@heterodoxacademy.org.

Europe is in flux – on the one hand, the French and German elections are on the horizon, and their outcomes seem ever more uncertain, Eastern European EU governments are becoming increasingly undemocratic, and Britain is gone forever.  On the other hand, vaccinations are finally getting traction; the EU is injecting robust funds to spur economic recovery, and Mario Draghi, Italy's Prime Minister, is taking an increasingly active role on the continent.  What is the outlook for post-Brexit continental Europe?  Recent summits such as the G-7 in Britain and the Geneva summit were great photo-ops, but they failed to address some big challenges: competition with China, and relations with Russia, for instance. We talk about a ‘united Europe,' but when it comes to critical issues, how united are the Europeans, really?  Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Erik Jones, Director of European and Eurasian Studies at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at The Johns Hopkins University, to discuss the impending changes in Europe this year with two major elections on the horizon. Altamar's ‘Téa's Take' by Téa Ivanovic discusses the “lost generation” of Europe that has faced economic crises, educational disruption, and more.

This week, Tom is joined by special guest, Maya Ajmera, the President and CEO of the Society for Science & the Public and Publisher of its award-winning magazine, Science News. In 1993, Maya founded The Global Fund for Children (GFC), a non-profit organization that invests in innovative, community-based organizations working with some of the world’s most vulnerable children and youth. She is also a celebrated children’s book author with more than twenty books under her belt. Recently, Maya was awarded the 2020 Public Service Award by the National Science Foundation. In this conversation, Tom talks with Maya about social entrepreneurship, why science matters now more than ever, and her extraordinary journey through the world of science and impact. Maya highlights the importance of project-based learning, science fairs, equity in delivering science news, and providing all learners with the opportunity to become a scientist or engineer, and the Society for Science & the Public’s role in pushing these changes forward.

In 2013-2014, he worked in the Office of the U.S. Secretary of State, serving as a senior advisor to the Special Envoy for Israeli-Palestinian Negotiations. Author of numerous Washington Institute monographs and essays on issues related to the Middle East Peace Process and the Arab-Israeli conflict, he is also coauthor, with Dennis Ross, of the 2019 book Be Strong and of Good Courage: How Israel's Most Important Leaders Shaped Its Destiny (PublicAffairs) and the 2009 Washington Post bestseller Myths, Illusions, and Peace: Finding a New Direction for America in the Middle East (Viking/Penguin). His 2017 interactive mapping project, "Settlements and Solutions," is designed to help users discover for themselves whether a two-state solution is still viable. His 2011 maps on alternative territorial solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were reprinted by the New York Times in the paper's first interactive treatment of an op-ed. His widely acclaimed September 2012 New Yorker essay, "The Silent Strike," focused on the U.S.-Israel dynamics leading up to the 2007 Israeli attack on Syrian nuclear facilities.

In July 1994, as a result of personal intervention by then Secretary of State Warren Christopher, Mr. Makovsky became the first journalist writing for an Israeli publication to visit Damascus. In total, he has made five trips to Syria, the most recent in December 1999 when he accompanied then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. In March 1995, with assistance from U.S. officials, Mr. Makovsky was given unprecedented permission to file reports from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for an Israeli publication. A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. Makovsky received a bachelor's degree from Columbia University and a master's degree in Middle East studies from Harvard University.

Branko Milanovic is a Presidential Professor at the Graduate Center and a senior fellow at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality. He obtained his Ph. D. in economics from the University of Belgrade with a dissertation on income inequality in Yugoslavia. He served as lead economist in World Bank Research Department for almost 20 years and as a senior associate at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington from 2003 to 2005.

He is the author of Capitalism, Alone: The Future of the System That Rules the World. In it,  he argues that capitalism has triumphed because it works. It delivers prosperity and gratifies human desires for autonomy. But it comes with a moral price, pushing us to treat material success as the ultimate goal. In what is becoming an increasingly polarised world, I really enjoyed getting somewhat out of my comfort zone to talk economics with Branko. We went an inch deep a mile wide in this conversation and covered numerous topics, including: The merits of capitalism, its criticisms and what could be improved Equality of outcome versus equality of opportunity Whether inequality is an avoidable feature of nature Job automation and UBI; and Inequality in sports, namely professional soccer With that, I bring you my conversation with Branko Milanovic. Topics Discussed: Why capitalism prevailed What capitalism gets wrong How capitalism could be improved What really influences inequality Is inequality necessary? Equality of outcome v equality of opportunity Trickle down effects Egalitarian capitalism Why taxes are not the answer The link between taxes and innovation Political capitalism (China) and its pitfalls Automation and UBI The decrease in inequality between countries, but the growing inequality within them Political polarisation Plutocracy and populism The perils of materialism Inequality in soccer Show Notes: Twitter: @brankomilan Capitalism, Alone: https://amzn.to/34v2GvJ Global Inequality: https://amzn.to/2OQET2M ---------- Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski Steve's book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ Watch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2N77FLx

Bernardo Pires de Lima é Investigador Associado do Instituto Português de Relações Internacionais da Universidade Nova de Lisboa e comentador regular em vários órgãos de comunicação social. Tem publicado vários livros sobre uma série de temas na área das Relações Internacionais: da política externa portuguesa, aos EUA, Médio-Oriente e, claro, da Europa. E foi precisamente sobre a Europa que falámos, a pretexto do seu livro mais recente, ‘O Lado B da Europa’. O livro já foi lançado no ano passado, mas acaba por vir bem a propósito, tendo em conta que as eleições europeias são já este domingo. É difícil fazer o sumário desta conversa, porque falámos sobre uma série de coisas. Começámos por discutir os desafios da União Europeia, tanto os internos, como a emergência de partidos populistas e, sobretudo, autoritários, como os externos, como a emergência da China. Falámos de um dos maiores desafios internos, que é a chegada ao poder de partidos autoritários em países como a Polónia e a Hungria - o que, entre outras coisas, põe a nu a incapacidade da UE em por cobro à deterioração das instituições na sua própria casa. Falámos também da importância de construir uma democracia a nível europeu e ,mais importante, uma cultura europeia. Terminámos a discutir um ensaio recente da Yoni Appelbaum na revista americana The Atlantic, em que este historiador e jornalista recomenda o impeachment a Donald Trump, com base num argumentário muito sustentado historicamente. E, claro, como em geopolítica tudo está ligado, por definição, regressámos à UE e falámos sobre o papel da NATO.

Dr. S. Frederick Starr is the author of Lost Enlightenment: Central Asia’s Golden Age from the Arab Conquest to Tamerlane, which chronicles a forgotten age of achievement, seeks to explain its rise, and explores the competing theories about the cause of its eventual demise.

In 2014, Francis Fukuyama wrote that American institutions were in decay, as the state was systematically captured by powerful interest groups. Two years later, political outsiders have risen to power by leaning on direct charismatic connections to “the people,” who are usually defined in narrow terms that offer an irresistible call to an in-group and exclude large parts of the population as a whole. Now Fukuyama arrived at Town Hall to lend us his perspective from his book Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment. Fukuyama asserted that the demand for recognition of one’s identity, which he deems a fundamental human instinct, is a master concept that defines much of world politics today. He told us that the universal recognition on which liberal democracy is predicated has been increasingly challenged by narrower forms of recognition based on nation, religion, sect, race, ethnicity, or gender. Fukuyama cautioned us that these narrower forms of recognition have resulted in the rise of populism, polarization, and intolerant nationalist movements of the sort that have seen a recent resurgence in America. He told us that we must begin shaping identity on a national scale if we want it to support, rather than undermine, democracy. Join Fukuyama as he delivers a sharp warning: unless we forge a universal understanding of human dignity, we will doom ourselves to continuing conflict. Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He has previously taught at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University and at the George Mason University School of Public Policy. He is the author of Political Order and Political Decay, The Origins of Political Order, The End of History and the Last Man, Trust, and America at the Crossroads: Democracy, Power, and the Neoconservative Legacy.

There are 468 seats up for grabs in Congress for the 2018 election, with the Republican Party currently holding a majority in both the Senate and the House. But will this hold after election day?   Joining today’s episode to discuss the congressional races is Levi Tillemann, the democratic candidate for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. Tillemann is a Colorado native and expert on technology policy, renewable energy and autonomous cars. Raised in a working-class Latino community in North Denver, Tillemann has kept in touch with his roots over the years by tutoring math, english and ESL in public schools and community centers.   While in graduate school, Tilleman founded IRIS Engines, Inc. to develop a more efficient engine -- a design for which he holds multiple patents. Later he shifted his focus to electric vehicles as a better solution to climate change.   He has served as a policy advisor to the Department of Energy under President Barack Obama and is currently managing partner at Valence Strategic. Tillemann’s commentary appears regularly in national publications including the New Yorker, The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times and on national and international radio and TV outlets.   He has bachelor’s degree in history from Yale and an master’s degree and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.   Levi is the author of “The Great Race: The Global Quest for the Car of the Future,” published by Simon and Schuster in 2015, and he speaks Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Portuguese.

On 7 February Professor Akiko Fukushima of Aoyama Gakuin University and the Tokyo Foundation addressed the Lowy Institute on the future of the Australia-Japan security partnership. Her visit comes at a moment of high anxiety and uncertainty in alliance relations and regional security for the Asia-Pacific region. Changes of leadership in Washington and Manila, as well as China’s increasing presence in the South China Sea, are motivating US allies to consider new axes of stability to promote steady leadership, uphold a rules-based regional order, and reduce security concerns. Following Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to Australia, Professor Fukushima examined how, as like-minded allies and bilateral partners, Australia and Japan can cooperate for peace and security in the Asia-Pacific. Professor Akiko Fukushima is a Research Fellow at the Asia International Centre and a Senior Fellow at the Tokyo Foundation. She has a Master’s degree in International Economy and International Relations from: Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in International Public Policy from Osaka University. She has previously held roles as Director of Policy Studies at the National Institute for Research Advancement (NIRA) and as Senior Fellow at the Japan Foundation. She is a member of the International Advisory Board of the EU-Asia Centre in Brussels and co-editor of Global Governance magazine. She has also been a visiting professor at the University of British Columbia and is a member of Prime Minister Abe’s Advisory Panel on National Security and Defence Capabilities. This event is kindly sponsored by the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

John Lipsky, a visiting scholar of the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and a former special adviser to the IMF, says the IMF is less concerned about China in the short term. Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser of Allianz, says the market dodged a Lehman moment on Deutsche Bank. London School of Economics professor Nicholas Stern says Brexit is calling U.K. growth prospects into question. IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde urges European banks to examine their business models.

American power around the world is facing new challenges, and our government is often paralyzed by gridlock. How did we get here, and how do we fix it? Andrew Bacevich, a former Army officer, bestselling author, and professor of international relations and history at Boston University, will address these questions in his free public lecture “The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism.” The lecture, part of the Center's Alternative Visions lecture series, will take place Thursday, October 23, at 1:30 pm in Old Main’s Carson Ballroom. Time has called him, “one of the most provocative—as in thought-provoking—national security writers out there today.” Bacevich’s bestselling books have offered critical insights into America’s military industrial complex, decades of foreign policy, and the way ordinary citizens relate to the military. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, he received his doctorate in American diplomatic history from Princeton University. Before joining the faculty of Boston University, he taught at West Point and Johns Hopkins. In 2004, Bacevich was a Berlin Prize Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. He has also held fellowships at the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the Council on Foreign Relations. He is a regular contributor to The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and Financial Times, among many other news outlets. His books include: Breach of Trust: How Americans Failed Their Soldiers and Their Country The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism The New American Militarism: How Americans Are Seduced by War Washington Rules: America’s Path to Permanent War

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimates the civil war in Syria has displaced up to 10.25 million people, with 3.45 million of those refugees living in nearby countries. Neighboring Lebanon has accepted nearly one million Syrian refugees, approximately 22% of its population. Jordan's third largest "city" is now the Zaatari refugee camp which holds over 120,000 people. Other nations in the region are experiencing the wave of immigration, and all are struggling to support the massive influx of refugees with inadequate public services and infrastructure that barely met the needs of existing populations. What short and long term impacts will this refugee crisis have on the region, and what is the likelihood, if any, of these displaced persons returning home? Confirmed Speakers Jana Mason, Senior Advisor for External Relations and Government Affairs, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Maureen White, Visiting Scholar, Paul H.

As China's comprehensive power grows domestically and internationally, so too does its global cultural presence and government efforts to enhance its international image. Are China's efforts to expand and enhance its soft power producing positive results--or is China's image abroad tarnished?

James Mann is author in residence at Johns Hopkins University’s Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies and the author of Rise of the Vulcans, About Face, and Beijing Jeep. He was previously the Los Angles Times Beijing bureau chief. In his new book, The China Fantasy, Mann explores two scenarios popular among the policy elite. The "Soothing Scenario" contends that the successful spread of capitalism will gradually bring about a development of democratic institutions, free elections, independent judiciary, and a progressive human rights policy. In the "Upheaval Scenario," the contradictions in Chinese society between rich and poor, between cities and the countryside, and between the openness of the economy and the unyielding Leninist system will eventually lead to a revolution, chaos, or collapse. Against this backdrop, Mann poses a third scenario and asks, What will happen if Chinese capitalism continues to evolve and expand but the government fails to liberalize?
