Who, if anyone, is speaking truth to power these days?In the Season 12 finale of Hotel Bar Sessions, we take a deep dive into Michel Foucault's late lectures on parrhesia, the ancient Greek concept of "fearless speech." But don't be fooled—this isn't a dusty historical exercise. With campuses erupting in protest, free speech weaponized by the powerful, and truth-tellers increasingly under threat, parrhesia has never felt more urgent. What does it mean to speak truth to power today—and who is still brave enough to do it?The HBS co-hosts unpack Foucault's insights with characteristic wit and depth, drawing connections from Socrates to student protestors, from trans youth testifying in state legislatures to comedians canceled by the White House Correspondents' Association. Is free speech still possible in a fractured political landscape? Can parrhesia survive in an age of rhetorical manipulation and moral cowardice? And what's the difference between being “canceled” and actually being in danger?This episode doesn't just explain Foucault's concept of parrhesia—it performs it. If you've ever wondered whether truth-telling still matters in a time of disinformation, performative politics, and rising authoritarianism, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in for our Season 12 send-off, and stick around to find out who we believe the real parrhesiastes are today.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-177-totalitarianism-with-peg-birmingham-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Do universals “exist”? Are they real? And why are we talking about porcupines so much?!In this episode, Leigh, Rick, and Devonya dive headfirst into one of philosophy's oldest and knottiest questions: Is “porcupine-ness” a real thing, or just a name we slap on pointy animals?Starting with the simple question of what makes a beer a beer (and not a Long Island iced tea), this wide-ranging conversation traces the debate from Plato and Aristotle to TikTok documentaries, Sally Haslanger, and Star Trek's Borg. Along the way, the hosts wrestle with the metaphysical status of categories like “human” and “race,” the political risks and rewards of strategic essentialism, and why it might matter that something can be real even if it doesn't exist.Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool realist, a card-carrying nominalist, or just someone who likes their drinks served correctly, this episode offers an illuminating, and at times hilariously heated, exploration of how we classify the world—and why it matters.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-179-are-universals-real/-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Together with Fr. Mike, we unpack the joint mission of God's Word and the Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. Fr. Mike emphasizes the Spirit's role in creation, the theophanies, and the Law. We conclude today's reflection with an examination of the prefiguration of the Church in the exile of the people of God in the Old Testament. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 702-710. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Join us to celebrate the achievements of Prof. Cathy Elliott. Recorded one day after her inaugural lecture, marking a significant milestone in her distinguished career, Cathy talks about her wild approach to education.Cathy is one of those rare educators who always strives to focus less on grades and more on inspiring her pupils. She has spearheaded ungrading campaigns at UCL, as well as inclusive curriculums and student-led projects on inclusivity, belonging, political philosophy and international relations. She is a co-director of UCL Centre for the Pedagogy of Politics, a co-convenor of the Political Studies Association Teaching and Learning Network, and Vice-Dean Education for UCL Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences. Cathy has made history as our department's first academic on the teaching track to be promoted to Professor. This in itself reflects Cathy's thoughts on education - if we remove some of the boundaries and change some of the criteria , wonderful things might happen (inc. it might be easier for teaching track academics to progress to prof)!Mentioned in this episode:Cathy Elliott. Against anonymity: relational marking and awarding gaps. Journal of Learning Development in Higher Eudcation.Special Edition of Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education: Liberating LearningInclusive Cirriculum Project UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration.

Dan connects with classically trained vocalist James Taylor Jr, who discusses his upcoming Pride album and the continuing importance of Pride as both celebration and protest.The conversation explores Queer history, including the often-overlooked persecution of gay men during the Holocaust and Germany's destroyed legacy of gender and sexuality research. James reflects on his Catholic school upbringing and the complex journey of coming out to his parents at age 12.James and Dan share a fascinating discussion about why The Wizard of Oz and "Over the Rainbow" resonates so deeply with young Queer children, with James noting how the song embodies the universal Queer longing for acceptance and belonging.His recommended gateway track is "Pride (Stripped)," which beautifully bridges his musical past and future.Find James at jamestaylorjuniormusic.com and on social media platforms linked from his website.Spotify playlist can be found HERE.The podcast is on Instagram (@inthekeyofq) and Facebook (search: In the Key of Q).

Can democracy be saved from totalitarianism? In this episode, the co-hosts are joined by political theorist Dr. Peg Birmingham (DePaul University) for an urgent discussion on the topic of totalitarianism. Starting with a critique of what counts as “the people” in democratic systems, our conversation unpacks the entanglement of nationalism and racism, the dangerous erosion of the rule of law, and the troubling resurgence of executive overreach in the United States.Drawing from theorists like Hannah Arendt and Carl Schmitt, we unpack how nationalistic democracies easily pivot toward authoritarian structures—and why naming, resisting, and reimagining democracy remains critical in this moment of global precarity.We also detail the signs of creeping totalitarianism, including terror tactics, de-nationalization, and the centralization of political power, while also reflecting on possibilities for resistance. What can be salvaged from democracy when the demos itself is fractured? What role can listening, ridicule, and justice-oriented solidarity play in resisting fascist creep?Birmingham emphasizes the need for collective action rooted in material justice and care for the most vulnerable, while co-hosts Leigh, Rick, and Devonya wrestle with how to reignite meaningful political opposition and build new coalitions of resistance. This powerful conversation challenges listeners to reckon with our political present and what might still be possible within it.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-177-totalitarianism-with-peg-birmingham-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Send us a textThis is the first episode in a 3-part mini series about exploring creative education, both as a noun and a verb; new ways of thinking about assessments, grading and ungrading with 3 brilliant educators who work and teach in the spaces of communication, design, creativity, art and art therapy. First up is Dom Prevost, Group Creative Director at Resonance and also teaches at IDEA School of Design (Capilano University) and Miami Ad School. With a multi-disciplinary approach and years of international experience, Dom has created award-winning, fully-integrated campaigns for some of the world's most iconic brands including Nike, adidas, Benetton, lululemon, Foot Locker, Mercedes, Ford, Johnnie Walker, Red Bull, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Ministry of Sound, Playstation and Ubisoft. In this episode, you'll hear about a course Dom teaches that, at its core, is helping students succeed through embracing failure, by removing control and providing space for things to go wrong. Dom explains what he hopes to instil in his students about failure, iteration and pushing past the first ideas, as well as how he uses grades not as a means of control and power, but as a means of relinquishing control and power, handing it back to students to show up with good, bad and ugly ideas.Finally, Dom gives us a sneak peek at his upcoming new workshop at DesignThinkers Vancouver, May 13-14, 2025.I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!

Carlos Amador on Latin American aesthetics, precarity, and what it means to be completely f*cked. In this episode, the HBS crew welcomes Carlos Amador—Associate Professor of Spanish in the Department of Romance Languages and Literature at the University at Buffalo SUNY—for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about lo jodido: the aesthetic, political, and material condition of being well and truly fucked. Drawing on Latin American literature and film, Amador introduces lo jodido not just as a descriptor for individual suffering, but as a cross-cultural, translatable, and recognizable structure of feeling rooted in precarity, immobility, and disillusionment with liberal democratic promises. Alongside lo jodido, he introduces two other categories—el roto and lo huachafo—to map a terrain of contemporary exhaustion and survival.Drawing on Frantz Fanon's articulation of "the wretched of the earth," we dig into how "the fucked" functions not merely as a subject position, but also a way of seeing, feeling, and naming what seems unlivable. Topics include cruel optimism, abjection, the cultural logic of fascism, and whether political possibility requires hope at all. In the end, we ask: what does it mean to live with no outside to capital? And can the category of the fucked help us understand not only where we are, but what might still be possible?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-178-el-roto-lo-huachafo-lo-jodido-with-carlos-amador-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Guests:Gert Biesta is a Professor of Public Education in the Centre for Public Education and Pedagogy, Maynooth University, and Professor of Educational Theory and Pedagogy at the Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh. Description:In this episode, Dr Sophie Specjal speaks with global education thought leader Professor Gert Biesta about the purpose of education beyond knowledge transfer. He shares his journey from post-war Rotterdam to his influential academic career, introducing his three-dimensional approach to learning—qualification, socialisation, and subjectification. They discuss the importance of high expectations, student engagement, and world-centered education, exploring how teachers can help students navigate the complexities of learning and life.

Canadian provincial education systems play a vital role in developing the social and academic interests of youth who, typically, spend over thirty hours in classrooms per week. Yet, significant consistency in terms of provincial guidelines and teacher booklists restrict these classrooms' approaches to diverse literary content. The lack of both diverse content and representative teachers can skew ongoing perceptions of identity, academic success, and later socio-economic security, especially for racialized students. For upcoming interviews check out the Grad Chat webpage on Queen’s University School of Graduate Studies & Postdoctoral Affairs website.

Phil and Cathryn Berger Kaye explore the transformative power of service learning in education. Cathy defines service learning as a pedagogical approach that connects students' learning to real-world community needs, emphasizing the importance of purpose and engagement in the learning process. They discuss the barriers educators face in implementing service learning, the significance of connection and adventure in education, and share inspiring stories of positive outcomes from service learning initiatives. Cathy provides practical advice for educators looking to incorporate service learning into their curriculum, highlighting the need for a shift in focus from standardized testing to meaningful, experiential learning. Service learning is a process that connects education to real-world needs. It elevates student engagement by providing a sense of purpose. Teachers find renewed passion through service learning. Service learning fosters social-emotional learning in students. Adventure in learning encourages risk-taking and self-discovery. Real-life stories illustrate the impact of service learning. Barriers to service learning include lack of understanding and standardized testing. Educators can start with practical resources and community connections. Service learning is not just community service; it's an educational pedagogy. Wisdom in education involves using knowledge for the common good.

This week, we're pulling up a seat at the intersection of faith, governance, and democracy as we take on the Establishment Clause—that little First Amendment provision that's supposed to keep church and state in their own lanes. But is that how it's really playing out?Leigh, Rick, and Devonya dig into the history and contemporary implications of the separation of church and state, from school prayer to Supreme Court decisions, faith-based government offices, and religious encroachments on reproductive rights. We tackle the tension between private belief and public reason, the way religious institutions have both challenged and reinforced state power, and whether the U.S. is creeping toward a civic religion of its own.Along the way, we take detours through Southern Bible Belt culture, the moral status of fetuses, and even a surprise debate over whether capybaras are too cute to eat. (Spoiler: they are.)As always, we're serving up straight shots of wisdom, no divine intervention required.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-175-the-establishment-clause-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Who's afraid of DEI? And why?Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) initiatives have become institutional mainstays in corporate and academic settings—but they are currently under attack. In this episode of Hotel Bar Sessions, Leigh and Devonya sit down with Freedom Rider and retired Associate Professor of History at Boston College, Paul Breines, to reflect on the evolution of social justice movements from the civil rights struggles of the 1960s to today's embattled DEIA programs. How did a radical movement for racial justice morph into bureaucratic diversity training? And how should we understand the backlash against DEIA as part of a longer history of reactionary politics?Is what we're seeing in today's political climate a Second Reconstruction or a Second Redemption? The hosts discuss the ideological shifts that have transformed how both the left and right frame issues of race, gender, sexuality, ability, and inclusion—asking whether the language of justice has been co-opted by those seeking to dismantle it. From the Freedom Rides to contemporary campus activism, we dig into what has changed, what remains the same, and whether today's movements need a more radical edge. What kind of activism does this moment demand?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-175-dei-then-and-now-with-paul-breines-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

When does decorum keep us civil-- and when does it keep us silent?From courtroom etiquette to the Oval Office, from department meetings to NFL sidelines, decorum shapes our public interactions—but who gets to decide what counts as “proper” behavior? In this episode of Hotel Bar Sessions, Rick, Leigh, and Devonya take on the contested role of decorum in social and political life. Is it a necessary lubricant for peaceful coexistence, or a tool for policing and silencing dissent?The hosts explore decorum's history, its role in institutions like Congress and the courts, and its power to both reinforce and resist social hierarchies. From Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest to Zelensky's wartime wardrobe, the conversation turns to moments when violating expectations becomes an act of defiance. Does focusing on breaches of decorum distract from deeper moral and political failures? And if we abandon the language of decorum, what do we lose—or gain?With their signature mix of philosophical insight and barroom banter, the hosts wrestle with the real stakes of politeness, propriety, and protest.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-174-decorum-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

Revolutionizing Medical Education Through Pedagogy of Connection (EP:40) With Marco Antonio de Carvalho Filho, MD, PHD How can we create environments and opportunities where connections between educators, students, and meaning not only exists but thrives? Join host Stacy Craft, and guest Professor Dr. Carvalho Filho, as we uncover the power of authentic connections in revolutionizing both education and healthcare, through the transformative concept of the "pedagogy of connection" and its profound impact on medical education and patient care. We explore the critical importance of student-centered education for achieving patient-centered care and the vital role of emotional intelligence in building meaningful relationships with patients. Inspired by Paulo Freire's educational philosophy, we also explore the need for education to develop critical consciousness and the ability to enact change. Questions? Feedback? Ideas?

Who gets to decide who we are?In this episode, Rick Lee and Devonya Havis pull up a chair with philosopher and political theorist Falguni Sheth to talk about the ways identity is shaped, claimed, and—more often than not—forced upon us. From census categories and legal definitions to personal choices and political struggles, they dig into the tensions between how we see ourselves and how we're seen by others. What does it mean to be recognized—or misrecognized—by the state? How do institutions decide which identities “fit” and which ones have to be managed, disciplined, or erased? And when does refusing to conform become its own form of power?With insights from Sheth's work on race, law, and political power, this conversation moves between philosophy, history, and the headlines of today. The hosts talk about the state's obsession with controlling identity, from laws targeting Muslim women to the racial bias baked into facial recognition software. But they also ask whether there's room for resistance—whether refusing to be easily categorized might be a way to push back. By the time last call rolls around, they're raising a glass to the troublemakers, the misfits, and the ones who just won't play by the rules.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-173-unruly-identity-with-falguni-sheth-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

When nothing is clear, how do we decide?Many people prefer their morality to be straightforward—right or wrong, good or bad, clear as day. But more often than not, human life is a mess of contradictions, competing values, and gray areas. In this episode of Hotel Bar Sessions, Rick, Leigh, and Devonya wade into the murky waters of ambiguity—what it means, how we experience it, and why we're often so uncomfortable with it. From moral dilemmas and political rhetoric to aesthetics and queer theory, the hosts explore how ambiguity can be both a site of oppression and a tool of resistance.Is ambiguity a lack of knowledge, or does it open the door for deeper understanding? How does power exploit uncertainty to maintain control? And why do we crave clarity in some parts of life but celebrate ambiguity in art, music, and literature? With philosophical insight, a dash of humor, and a deep appreciation for the chaotic bartender that is moral life, the hosts wrestle with the question: Can we ever truly escape ambiguity—or do we just have to learn to live with it?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-172-ambiguity-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!

What is education for? What modes of study become possible beyond the frameworks of formal schools and universities? How does radical studying fit into the work of grassroots liberation work?As we enter the new year, educator, writer, and organizer Eli Meyerhoff brings us back to foundational questions about radical pedagogy. His book Beyond Education: Radical Studying for Another World rejects narrow, romanticized, disciplinary modes of education. It elaborates the concept of “modes of study” — which cracks open possibilities for how we might learn, teach, transform, and organize together. He is one of the co-collaborators on Abolition University and Cops Off Campus Research Project. Recently Eli has written important critiques of the "Antisemitism 101" trainings held by universities in response to Palestine liberation and anti-Zionist organizers.Currently, Eli currently works at Duke University at the John Hope Franklin Center Humanities Lab. He has previously worked as an adjunct instructor at the University of Minnesota and at Duke. He earned a PhD in Political Science, with a political theory focus, from the University of Minnesota in 2013.

Political Scientists Lauren C. Bell, Allison Rank, and Carah Ong Whaley have a new edited volume, Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024). This book has four separate sections that guide the reader through different dimensions of teaching civic engagement and the many aspects of this important pedagogical capacity that often falls on the shoulders of political science faculty at universities and colleges in the United States. In our discussion we cover the idea of civic engagement itself as an approach that many of us integrate into our courses in a variety of ways. Civic Pedagogies focuses on this complex topic first through a number of chapters that dive into the theory behind civic engagement and how to think about this concept as a dimension of or the entirety of a college course. The next section of the book takes up a variety of different practical approaches to embedding civic learning into courses. The last two sections of the book explore the challenges and benefits of civically engaged pedagogies and, finally, assessment of civically engaged pedagogies. This is a thorough and thoughtful book with an impressive array of contributing authors all thinking about not only the importance of civically engaged pedagogies, but also the unique dimensions of this kind of pedagogy. The three editors explain, in our conversation, different points of importances that were fleshed out by the many contributors and their thinking about how best to embed this vital component of education within a democracy. Civic Pedagogies: Teaching Civic Engagement in an Era of Divisive Politics has so many different perspectives that it provides a rich array of options for most educators who want or need to integrate civic pedagogies into their classrooms. In our discussion, we also explore the value of being able to engage on public topics and political questions in a civil manner—both in the classroom itself and then, as students move into their lives beyond college, as members of their communities. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-host of the New Books in Political Science channel at the New Books Network.

Can anyone be trusted anymore?Trust is the glue that holds our social world together, yet it's one of the most fragile bonds we have. In this episode of Hotel Bar Sessions, Rick, Leigh, and Devonya dive into the complexities of trust—what it means, how it functions, and why it's so easy to break but so difficult to restore. From everyday acts of trust, like believing the grocery store clerk's name tag, to the deep-seated political crisis of trust in institutions and democracy, the hosts explore trust as an epistemic, moral, and affective structure that shapes our relationships. Along the way, they discuss Derrida's take on truth-telling, the role of consistency and shared values, and why mistrust often seems more apparent than trust itself.But what happens when trust is shattered—whether between friends, citizens and their government, or even entire political factions? The conversation takes a sobering turn toward our current crisis of trust, examining how unmoored we feel when institutions, democratic processes, and even long-standing social contracts seem to be unraveling. Is trust something we can rebuild, or are we slipping toward a Hobbesian world of raw power? With humor, philosophical insight, and a healthy dose of frustration, the hosts wrestle with the question: how do we live together well when trust is in such short supply?Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-171-trust-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!
