What's the difference between a rule that describes the world and one that governs it? Leigh, Jen, and Bob start with a complaint about Robert's Rules of Order and end up in the deep end: the categorical imperative, the social contract, the rule of law, and what it would mean to live without any rules at all.

You'll also get all the other bonus episodes of TIYA After Dark:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeWelcome back to Podcasting in Time, a This Is Your Afterlife bonus miniseries exploring the filmography of Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky. This is it, y'all: the Andrei Rublev episode. I write this blurb from a future where I've now seen 5 of the 7 Tarkovsky features, and currently, Andrei Rublev is my favorite. In the Mark Le Fanu book I reference throughout this series, he says this movie "represents filmmaking about as physically ambitious as it is possible to contemplate." And here, I'm contemplating it with Pod Casty for Me's Ian Rhine. Ian is a sensitive, funny, and intelligent conversation partner, and this episode was truly a joy to make. At one point during recording, I remember sitting back and just appreciating how nice it was to be having such a great talk about such an incredible movie. This episode is longer than the final cut of the film but not as long as the original cut, The Passion According to Andrei. As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts.Incredibly Incomplete List of Works ReferencedPaulo Freire: Pedagogy of the Oppressedhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedagogy_of_the_OppressedMark Le Fanu: The Cinema of Andrei TarkovskyFollow Pod Casty for Me:https://www.podcastyforme.com/https://www.patreon.com/c/PodCastyForMe/https://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/https://twitter.com/podcastyformeFollow TIYA, share your thoughts:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisdavemaher@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/

In this episode Garth interviews Jared Keeley from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Jared serves as the first-year director of clinical training and talks about VCU's urban, community-serving campus and student body. He describes his dual interests in clinical psychology and the scholarship of teaching and learning, focusing on the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC), developed with Bill Buskist, based on interviews with award-winning teachers to create a more theory- and data-informed, formative teaching feedback tool. Jared recounts his path from Colorado to Knox College, Auburn's renowned teacher-training program, and how his work on clinician classification led to field-trial contributions to the World Health Organization's ICD.

In this message, we'll consider what it looks like, as a disciple of Jesus, to express our faith in Him through unceasing, persistent prayer; as well as to express our citizenship in His Kingdom through humble service to our neighbors and civil authorities. Scripture: Matthew 17:14-27

Gilles Deleuze is multifaceted and his works seemingly heteroclite, which has made it difficult to assess what a “Deleuzian” philosophy may be, even if there are a host of philosophical concepts that bear his signature.  Most secondary works on him tend to approach him through one of his works on the canonical philosophers, arguing, for example, that Deleuze is and always was a Nietzschean or a Bergsonian or a Spinozist.  But these seem to miss what it means to be properly “Deleuzian.”What would it mean to read Deleuze “conceptually” and systematically across all of his works?  Is there some unifying thread that not only gathers together his philosophical concerns, but also shows us how to read all of his monographic works from start to finish and reveal what a Deleuzian philosophy is?Our guest today, Nathan Widder of Royal Holloway University, proposes a possible way to navigate this dilemma.   For Nathan, the concept that constitutes this guiding thread is the concept of sense.  From his earliest published work–an essay reviewing Hyppolite's Logic and Existence–to his two magni opei (Difference and Repetition, and the aptly named The Logic of Sense), the concept of sense is, according to Nathan, the organizing conceptual principle that drives all of Deleuze''s analyses and animates his philosophical questioning.   So, what is the concept of sense in the work of Deleuze?  What does he mean by it, and how does it organize his philosophical project?  These are the questions we tackle in this week's episode – and if you''e worried that you do not know much about Deleuze, worry no more, because neither did we.   But thanks to Nathan and his new book Deleuze and the Logic of Sense (SUNY Press, 2026) we all learned a lot – and so will you.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/deleuze---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

In this message, we'll look at a preview of Jesus' Second Coming that He provides for three of His disciples. In doing so, we'll consider what it means for us to behold the promise of Christ's future glory for the purposes of enduring through our present sufferings. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-13

We are living through the most intense public argument about gender in living memory, and somehow managing to conduct it without agreeing on what the most basic terms mean. The word cisgender — or just cis — is either standard vocabulary on HR onboarding documents and medical intake forms or, depending on where you live and who holds power at the moment, possibly a slur, possibly banned from government buildings, possibly both at once. The word has been around for thirty years, but its history is largely unknown to the people who argue or legislate against it. What most people are currently fighting about today is a simplified, mainstream version of the concept that traveled a long way from its origins before arriving in the culture war.In this episode, we sit down with Perry Zurn, Provost Associate Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at American University. Zurn's new book, Cisgender: Disorienting a Category (Duke University Press, 2026), is the first sustained philosophical and historical account of how the term cis entered the gender lexicon, where it came from, what it was supposed to do, and what it has actually done. Drawing on unplumbed archives, interviews with early trans community figures, and parallel conversations in Argentina and Brazil that predate the American discourse, Zurn argues that cis is more useful as a name for a set of norms and privileges than as a description of any person's inner life. Moreover, the category, when pressed hard enough, begins to unravel in philosophically generative ways.Grab a drink and join us as we pull apart a word everyone uses, almost no one can define, and that is more radical, more contested, and far more philosophically interesting than the version currently being banned from Twitter.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/cisgender---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/hotelbarsessions (Or by contributing one-time donations here: https://hotelbarpodcast.com/donate/)BOOKMARK the Hotel Bar Sessions website (hotelbarpodcast.com) for detailed show notes and reading lists, and contact any of our co-hosts through our "Contact Us" page on the website!Hotel Bar Sessions is also on Facebook, YouTube, BlueSky, Instagram, and TikTok.

Anne-Maria Hölscher is a Swiss-based accordionist, professor, performer and pedagogue whose work connects contemporary music, repertoire development and a deeply structured approach to accordion education. Her artistic and teaching practice reflects a broad international path, shaped by studies and experiences across Germany, Switzerland, Canada and beyond.In this episode of Everything Accordion Podcast, host Ghenadie Rotari speaks with Anne-Maria about her early relationship with music, her path toward the accordion and the people, places and environments that shaped her development as an artist. A central part of the conversation focuses on her pedagogical thinking and the need for a more systematic understanding of the instrument.Anne-Maria shares her perspective on four important areas of accordion playing and teaching: the relationship between the body and the instrument, the geography of the accordion, finger technique, and bellows technique. Together, these areas offer a way to think about technique not as isolated exercises, but as part of a larger musical and physical system.The conversation also explores her artistic work, including chamber music, ensemble playing, her duo with piano and her recording projects. Anne-Maria discusses her Haydn project for accordion and piano, as well as a forthcoming album with newly commissioned works by Fabien Lévy, Márton Illés, and Enno Poppe. These projects reflect her interest in connecting historical repertoire, transcription, contemporary composition and the ongoing development of the accordion's artistic language.This episode is especially valuable for accordionists, teachers, students and anyone interested in music education, contemporary repertoire, and the future of the instrument.This podcast is supported by listeners and friends who believe in the project. A special thank you to Herbert Scheibenreif, a longtime friend of Everything Accordion Podcast, for his continued generosity and support.

In this episode of the ThoughtStretchers Education Podcast, Drew Perkins talks with leading education thinkers Dylan Wiliam, Jo Boaler, and Chris Harrison to explore the work and life of Paul Black and his profound impact on teaching and learning, especially the concept of assessment for learning. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Have some feedback you'd like to share? You can email me at drew@thoughtstretchers.org. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you're listening. Episode Overview In this special episode, host Drew Perkins brings together a panel of world-renowned educational figures, Dylan Wiliam, Jo Boaler, and Chris Harrison, to evaluate the profound, global impact of the late Paul Black on international education policy and classroom practice. Transitioning from a distinguished background in physics and crystallography to become the absolute cornerstone of modern science education and assessment framework, Paul Black fundamentally reshaped how the world defines student evaluation. This conversation bridges historical policy milestones, such as Black's masterful chairing of the 1987 Task Group on Assessment and Testing (TGAT), with modern instructional hurdles, illustrating beautifully why assessment must serve as a vehicle for authentic meaning-making, intellectual humility, and autonomous learner agency rather than a mechanical system for tracking or ranking students. Core Themes & Key Takeaways The Historical Architecture: The 1987 TGAT Reform: Commissioned by Secretary of State for Education Kenneth Baker, Paul Black chaired the Task Group on Assessment and Testing. His team proposed a revolutionary, age-independent progressive assessment scale that reframed student growth as continuous development rather than static metrics. Despite major political pushback, this foundational blueprint successfully dictated national curriculum frameworks in England for two decades. Inside the Black Box: Moving Research directly into Practitioners' Hands: Dylan Wiliam and Chris Harrison recount the deliberate, user-centric choice to look past dense, extensive academic journal articles and publish the seminal 1998 work, Inside the Black Box, as a slim, highly accessible 28-page booklet. This targeted dissemination placed actionable research directly in front of busy classroom practitioners. Furthermore, Wiliam clarifies why their historical look was a configurative review meant to map the conceptual schema of the field rather than a simple meta-analysis. Redefining Assessment for Learning (AfL): Dialogue over Spreadsheets: The panel issues a stark, cross-continental warning against institutional evaluation frameworks (heavily prevalent in the United States) that compress formative assessment into teacher-led data entries on spreadsheets every few weeks. True Assessment for Learning is an interactive, real-time diagnostic process rooted in rich classroom dialogue, extracting student misconceptions, and adjusting the immediate pedagogical path. Cultivating Learner Agency: Releasing "Explorer Mode": Formative feedback must move toward its own redundancy, systematically transitioning students out of passive compliance ("Passenger Mode") or fragile grade-chasing ("Achiever Mode") into self-regulating agents of their own intellectual development ("Explorer Mode"). The Pedagogy of Humility and Curiosity: Jo Boaler and Chris Harrison share intimate reflections on Paul Black's style as a PhD advisor and colleague. Despite his massive national stature, Black routinely deferred to doctoral students, treating them as co-investigators and displaying immense intellectual curiosity about how young minds think. Episode Timeline & Milestone Highlights Use these timestamp tokens to jump directly to key points in the panel's conversation: 00:00:11 – Introductions, cross-continental logistics, and session framing. 00:04:25 – Unpacking the historical impact: Paul Black's transition from physics and crystallography to science education policy. 00:08:16 – Dylan Wiliam outlines his multi-decade intellectual partnership with Black starting at Chelsea College. 00:10:36 – Chris Harrison details Black's post-retirement career and managing 19 international translational action research projects. 00:13:39 – Jo Boaler discusses Black's guidance on validating qualitative research data and handling academic journal rejections. 00:19:43 – The inner workings of the 1987 Task Group on Assessment and Testing (TGAT) and Kenneth Baker's national curriculum scale. 00:22:05 – Subject-specific progression models: Unpacking the "progression is harder" vs. "progression is better" friction across disciplines. 00:26:19 – The rationale behind a configurative review over traditional meta-analysis inside poorly theorized fields. 00:31:57 – Collaborative research dynamics: Working alongside teachers to let them build localized knowledge instead of imposing top-down scripts. 00:36:06 – Integrating growth mindset structures into math classrooms via open-ended, speed-independent tasks. 00:41:44 – Cultivating student self-regulation as an alternative to US data entry tracking spreadsheets. 00:47:47 – Exploring the three distinct pathways of progression: harder, better, and more independent. 00:58:01 – Debunking the mathematical efficiency myth: Reasoning and pattern discovery vs. computational speed. 01:06:02 – Long-term learning goals vs. short-term multiple-choice testing metrics in an AI-driven future. 01:10:05 – Teachers as knowledge workers: David Daniel's research on why lab findings reverse when deployed into complex classrooms. 01:15:56 – Utilizing psychometrics (Mark Wilson's framework) to discover what a student needs to learn next rather than simply to rank them.

In this message, we'll examine three core characteristics that Jesus uses to define what it means to come after Him as Lord and Savior. In doing so, we'll compare those with many of our cultural definitions, and seek any needed areas of repentance and realignment as His disciples. Scripture: Matthew 16:21-28

Sports are one of the few remaining arenas of public life where tens of millions of people voluntarily agree to care about the same thing at the same time. As the World Cup reminds us every four years, sports can build identities, drive economies, organize civic loyalties, and transform old geopolitical wounds into something that at least resembles a game. Whether you played Little League, follow your city's team with religious devotion, or find the whole spectacle baffling, sports have philosophical stakes that run deeper than the scoreboard.What actually makes something a sport — and does the answer matter? What does that tell us about fairness, rules, and what it means to win? Can fandom build genuine community, or is it just tribalism? And when institutions like the NCAA funnel the passions sports inspire into donor pipelines and broadcast deals, what gets lost and who gets exploited?Grab a drink and join us as we step onto the field with Aristotle, Iris Marion Young, William James, and Bernard Suits to find out whether the philosophy of sport is worth playing.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/sports---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Join Paula Delaney and Charlotte Bleakley as they explore technology, learning and decision-making in schools. Their discussion will span personalised learning, developing teacher expertise, classroom practice and the role of digital technology in education. With new technologies continuing to shape education, how can we as a profession begin to make thoughtful decisions about their place within teaching and learning?

In this message, we'll address the most significant question that has ever been asked, in one of the darkest places it could ever be asked in. In doing so, we'll examine what it looks like for us to confess Jesus as Lord, and be sent as His church, to charge the gates of Hell with the greatest news that has ever been heralded. Scripture: Matthew 16:13-20

In the spring of 2026, Anthropic released to the public what it described as its most capable AI model to date... and then the U.S. government shut it down seventy-two hours later. That subsequent sequence of events, both strange and almost operatic in its timing, is the kind of thing we might genuinely call "unprecedented." It was also a crystalline illustration of something philosophers have been decrying for decades, namely, the difference between performing ethical responsibility and actually exercising it.What does it mean to reason morally about the risks of a technology about which we do not yet fully understand its potential future impacts? Given that a very small number of decisionmakers will shape the conditions of life for everyone else for the next several decades, what do they owe to the people who will bear the consequences of those decisions without having had any say in them? When "ethical AI" has become a brand strategy rather than a careful, historically-informed and theoretically-grounded practice, how do we hold anyone accountable for the gap between what they say and what they do?Grab a drink and join our co-host Leigh M. Johnson as she asks us to consider exactly how sloppy the current "AI ethics" discourse is, what moral reasoning actually requires. and why the people who most need to be doing it seem to be the ones least interested in the task.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/mythosfablefarce---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

"I Watched CBC's Boys-Are-Falling-Behind Segment So You Don't Have To" — matching the YouTube title across platforms means search and word-of-mouth ("did you see/hear the boys-falling-behind episode") converge on one phrase instead of splitting discovery across two titles for the same episode.3. Show Notes / Episode DescriptionA CBC News segment spends twelve minutes building the case that boys are falling behind in school — dropout-rate stats, test-score gaps, a mother tearing up over swelling music — and never once names why. Gavin breaks down what the segment keeps gesturing at instead of saying outright: a school system built to produce factory labor, a "boy crisis" industry that profits from the problem staying unsolved, and a federal health strategy arriving right on schedule.In this episode:Why a 27.1% dropout rate for boys gets read as a school problem instead of an economic oneHow "boys build forts, girls keep tidy desks" became evidence in a national news storyWhy Trump's homoerotic He-Man photos and a federal "men and boys health strategy" are doing the same political workWhy the manosphere isn't the cause of the male loneliness epidemic — it's a symptom that turned out to be profitableWhat Henry Ford's factories have to do with how a gifted program decides which kids are worth investing inMentioned in this episode: Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism, Ernest Becker's The Denial of Death, Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation, Paulo Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Jonathan M.

In this text we will see how Jesus teaches us to understand the threat of the Pharisees and Saduccees.   Scripture: Matthew 16:1-12

In this sermon, we turn from the theory of Christian education to the practice of Christian formation, asking how wisdom actually moves from one generation to the next. Proverbs teaches us that wisdom is caught before it is taught, transmitted through imitation, forged through faithful friction, directed through deliberate training, and protected from rival voices that would lead our children away from the fear of the Lord. Yet our hope is not in perfect pedagogy, but in Christ Himself—the Wisdom of God made flesh—who has saved us by grace and now equips us by His Spirit to raise children who know, love, imitate, and follow Him.

In this episode of The Leadership Educator Podcast, Lauren and Dan talk with Dr. Kat Callahan and Dr. Sean Connable about New Directions for Student Leadership Issue 185, Pop Culture's Contributions to Leadership Development. The conversation explores how leadership educators can use pop culture as more than an attention-getter and instead treat it as a serious tool for examining storytelling, cultural values, identity, and leadership development. Listeners will hear examples from podcasts, sports, comic books, television, and other cultural spaces, along with practical ideas for helping students critically examine the stories that shape how society defines leadership.

We tend to think of art as something you look at — a canvas on a wall, an object behind velvet rope, something that holds still while you decide what you think of it. But a tradition in contemporary art has spent the better part of sixty years insisting that this picture is wrong. The artwork isn't the object. It's your body moving through the space it creates. In this minibar episode, Bob Vallier draws on his work in phenomenology to make the case that some of the stranger, more provocative, and occasionally illegal-by-contemporary-standards experiments in post-war art are best understood not as aesthetic puzzles to be solved but as invitations to notice something you're always already doing: being a body in a world that pushes back. Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/artandphenomenology---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Clover discusses how her sister Nell inspired her sobriety journey in the years before she sadly died from cancer at the age of 46 in 2019. Together, Clover and Mandy discuss growing up in the UK in the 90s and the hedonism of that time, especially both growing up in the English countryside. They discuss what home means to them whilst living abroad, which was the subject of Clover's fourth book, The Giant on the Skyline, and how belonging may not necessarily be a place or a person, but a specific feeling. Clover talks about learning to find new ways to connect in sobriety through crafts and her Substack community. She discusses what being sober has given her in terms of connection with her children and her marriage, and how it is something she feels proud to talk about.About Clover:Clover Stroud is a Sunday Times bestselling writer, journalist, and host of her own podcast, Tiny Acts of Bravery.

In this message, we see how Jesus shows His disciples that He is building His church as He calls the unlikely and welcomes the undeserving. Scripture: Matthew 15:29-39

What happens when we assume our modern educational institutions and traditions of debate sprung from a vacuum, dismissing the Middle Ages as an uncritical era blinded by faith? Kenyon College's Assistant Professor of History, Dr. Alex Novikoff, joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the overlooked intellectual vibrancy and argumentative spirit of the medieval world. Dr. Novikoff explores the history and impact of these practices in his book, The Medieval Culture of Disputation: Pedagogy, Practice and Performance. They examine how the scholastic love of debate wasn't just confined to the ivory tower, but became a performative, public spectacle that deeply shaped medieval culture and laid the foundations for how we learn, argue, and graduate today. In this conversation they explore: How the pervasive myth of the uncritical, tradition-bound "Dark Ages" ignores a historical reality where medieval thinkers used rigorous argumentation as tools to penetrate the universe's deepest mysteries. The intellectual genealogy of debate, tracing how the 12th century recovered and repurposed the dialectic and logic of ancient figures like Aristotle.The lasting pedagogical impact of charismatic teachers like Anselm of Beck, who utilized a question-and-answer dialogue format to shape a whole generation of students. The surprising realization that the modern university system, from the concept of a faculty guild to the pageantry of caps, gowns, and hooding ceremonies, is a direct inheritance of medieval clerical and scholastic culture. How the structure of scholastic disputation escaped the classroom to influence broader cultural expressions, from the dramatic tension in literature to the resolution of voices in early contrapuntal music.This is a conversation for anyone interested in intellectual history, pedagogy, and the humanities who wants to understand the ancient roots of our modern academic institutions and the enduring value of engaging with alternative perspectives.Make sure to check out Dr. Novikoff's book: The Medieval Culture of Disputation: Pedagogy, Practice, and Performance

We concluded the last episode with Jeff Kripal calling upon humanities scholars to break out of our conservative paradigms and to allow ourselves to “get weird.” So, let's do it! This season, we are going all-in on the mystical, mysterious, profound, reality-bending, and impossible aspects of Asian religions, medicines, and spiritualities.As usual, we'll launch the season the tables turned, with Lan taking up the mic to interview Pierce. Together, we think about traditional, modern, and postmodern approaches to Asian medicine. Usually, these epistemologies are competing or people are trying to integrate them… but could there be another approach that celebrates all of them without needing to reconcile dissonance?If you want to hear scholars and practitioners engaging in multidisciplinary conversations about Asian healing and mystical traditions, then subscribe to Black Beryl wherever you get your podcasts.

In this message, we'll look at the great faith of a Canaanite woman, who received mercy from Jesus in her time of need. In doing so, we'll consider the Gospel of Jesus that both saves us and sends us into a world of need.   Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28

Published by Temple University Press in 2026, The Heartland of US Empire: Race, Region, and the Queer Filipinx Midwest examines Filipinx cultural representations in the Midwest since the early twentieth century. In it, Dr. Thomas Xavier Sarmiento shrewdly considers the impact of American exceptionalism and U.S. imperialism in a region where white, middle-class, heterosexual, and Christian is the norm. He employs a queer, decolonial Filipinx methodology that traces how narratives of America's heartland position Filipinxs in the region as non-normative due to their racial, gender, sexual, and national statuses. As a result, The Heartland of US Empire locates queer Filipinxs in the geographic center of the nation and at the center of cultural narratives, thereby mapping alternative images of diasporic Filipinx identity and experience alongside U.S. regional and national identities, histories, and realities. Tom Sarmiento is an associate professor of English and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies at Kansas State University. He specializes in Filipinx American and queer literature and culture and teaches courses in Asian American literature, Cultural Studies, film adaptation, and Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies. His works have appeared in MELUS: Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States, The SAGE Encyclopedia on Filipina/o/x America Studies, Asian American Literature Discourse and Pedagogies, and in a special issue he guest edited for American Studies. In addition to his work in Literature & Cultural Studies, he is invested in helping students see writing as a nonlinear process and as a tool for social change.

What does it mean to say that visibility is a trap? Why does the simple awareness that we might be watched work on us so effectively that we end up policing ourselves better than any guard ever could? And if disciplinary power now operates through every camera in every pocket and every satellite overhead, is there anywhere left that isn't already inside the panopticon?For the final episode of Season 15, we close out the season with a deep dive into Michel Foucault's "Panopticism" from Discipline and Punish. Bob walks us through the architectural innovation at the heart of Foucault's argument: Jeremy Bentham's prison design, in which a single guard tower makes every prisoner visible while keeping the guard himself unseen. From there the conversation turns to what panopticism looks like in our own moment — Princeton's recent return to exam proctors, Elon Musk's brief tenure at DOGE and the IRS data he walked away with, the meta-glasses recording strangers on the street, and the hundred thousand satellites now orbiting overhead. Jen presses on why disciplinary power is scarier than sovereign power, precisely because it arrives dressed as benevolence. Leigh asks whether digging in on privacy in the digital age is already a losing bet that concedes too much to the logic of surveillance.Grab a drink and join us as we ask who exactly is watching the watchers... and whether any tolerated margin of criminality is left in which to hide.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/foucault---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Progressive education is a world-building project rooted in the radical hope that schools can become something fit for human beings.This summer, HRP is reading Pedagogies of Collapse: A Hopeful Education for the End of the World As We Know It, by Ginie Servant-Miklos, and we're inviting you to join us. Visit humanrestorationproject.org/book-club to sign up for our summer book club, where we'll meet to discuss the ideas and implications of Pedagogies of Collapse and be joined by the author, for a Q&A on July 31. I'll include a link to the book in the show notes, which is available on Open Access through Bloomsbury. Hope to see you there!The HRP team has been on the road for 3 of the last 4 weeks. At the end of April, we were on the ground working with Third Coast Learning Collaborative schools in Michigan. Last week, we were in Boston for school visits, meeting with folks at the Boston Museum of Science about an upcoming grant partnership, and I went to prison with Jennifer Berkshire to sit in on her journalism class at MCI-Shirley. At the time of recording, I'm headed to Ohio to present student listening reports to school districts who held focus groups this year based around student agency. This is all to say I don't have an epic 90 minute conversation or hour-long topical deep dive for you this week, but what I will offer is an audio reading of the opening piece from our revised Progressive Education Primer, it's called We Are Worldbuilders.

Somewhere in the last forty years, quantification stopped being one tool of economic governance among others and became the whole operating system. Inside the firm, shareholder value crowded out almost every other account of what a company was supposed to be for. In macroeconomic debate, GDP figures got promoted from diagnostic instrument to final verdict on whether things were going well (never mind what was happening to the people who couldn't afford the rent). Public agencies and universities were quietly retooled around audit regimes and key performance indicators imported from the private sector. The labor process itself now runs through dashboards that watch workers in real time and convert what they do into figures someone in a different building can rank against last quarter's. Whatever the explicit politics of the moment, almost every institution we pass through has been redesigned to produce numbers, and to be evaluated and disciplined by them.Goodhart's Law, the 1975 observation by economist Charles Goodhart that "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure," was originally a narrow point about central banks losing their grip on whatever indicator they picked to control. In the half-century since, it has quietly become a more acute diagnostic of late-capitalist life. If our institutions are now built to hit numbers, regardless of whether they're still doing the things those numbers were supposed to track, what exactly are those institutions for anymore? Who benefits from rule by metric, and who gets to decide which metric counts? Once the dashboard has been built into the architecture of political economy itself, what would it even look like to push back against it?Grab a drink and join us as we ask what our institutions were supposed to be for, before they all became scoreboards.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/goodhartslaw---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!
