On the radio show this week, we dive into wins for Paid Family Medical Leave at the state level, as well as the decades-long fight for a national paid family medical leave program and recent legislative wins like the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP Act. We hear about the economic impact of unpaid care work, with mothers contributing an estimated $450 billion in unpaid labor annually and facing significant wage gaps and workplace discrimination, particularly mothers of color. We cover the challenges of family separation, the lack of legal representation for unaccompanied minors, and the cruel Trump practices that are unfairly terrorizing immigrant families and communities. We discuss strategies to close the wage gap between men and women (and between moms and dads), and how closing the wage gap would boost the overall economy.   SPECIAL GUESTS: Sharita Gruberg, National Partnership for Women and Families, @npfw; Kate Bond, Institute for Women's Policy Research, @IWPRResearch; Jennifer Hojaiban, Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), @supportKIND, @supportkind.org; Deborah Vagins, Equal Rights Advocates & Equal Pay Today, @debvagins, @EqualRightsAdv, @EqualPay2dayOrg

In this heartfelt and deeply personal episode of Advancing Your Career in Higher Ed, Dr. Loren M. Hill sits down with Dr. Emily Yeager—assistant professor at East Carolina University and interim director of the Miller School of Entrepreneurship's Small Business Resource Center. Together, they explore what it really looks like to balance family, career advancement, and mental health while navigating the tenure track in academia. Dr. Yeager opens up about the hidden emotional labor behind her journey through promotion and tenure, the impact of motherhood during COVID, and the complexities of managing dual roles across academic departments. With authenticity and vulnerability, she reflects on the quiet moments no one sees—the ones where you're just trying to hold it all together. Whether you're early in your academic career, managing work-life transitions, or supporting others in this space, this episode offers both solidarity and insight. Dr. Loren M. Hill is a licensed clinical psychologist and successful entrepreneur. Additionally, Dr. Hill is an experienced academician with several faculty and administrative positions in academia. She is an American Psychological Association Feminist Academic Leadership Academy Fellow, RAND Corporation Faculty Workshop in Policy Research and Analysis Fellow, and a member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.

Friend of the podcast Dan Clifton returns to Beyond the Benchmark to help make sense of the ongoing Trump tariff saga and his ‘big beautiful bill'. Trump's economic trials and tribulations are also set against the backdrop of a radical shift in the way the US conducts foreign affairs, as signalled on his recent trip to Qatar in a speech which has been surprisingly overlooked by most.

What part should politics play in our everyday lives?

The book directly challenges the conventional academic understanding of politics, showing how politics is much more than election polls or parliamentary behaviours. This broader view of the politic allows the book to offer insights as to what needs to change in political systems, as well as more generally in societies. A much needed and urgent intervention on the current state of our world, the book should be widely read by any readers interested in politics today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Lawmakers around the world are setting their sights on ‘dark patterns’, the way consumer choice is manipulated wholesale by companies for profit – either directly by upselling and herding them into higher yielding decisions, or locking them into services, or “data grabs” that can be monetised indirectly. Australia is next off the rank, and businesses should take action now, starting with UX design, according to Chandni Gupta, Deputy CEO of influential think tank the Consumer Policy Research Centre, who’s work underpins key planks of the ACCC’s regulatory overhauls and which holds sway in Canberra.Dark patterns are “entrenched” across the digital economy – with companies “reverse engineering” the “nudge” principles of Daniel Kahneman’s behavioural economics to serve profit rather than help people make better choices, says Gupta. Already, the likes of LinkedIn, Amazon, TikTok, Meta and Epic Games have run afoul of regulators, while ticketing platform StubHub has conducted experiments that show the double-digit profit impact of manipulating consumer choice via hidden costs. Gupta, back from a global tour or regulators, lawmakers and enforcement bodies, and armed with a fresh report on her findings, says the practice is so widespread across the digital economy that most young adults have probably never lived in a world where they are not being manipulated. AI risks “supercharging” the practice – and making dark patterns darker still.But Gupta warns businesses to prepare for regulation, enforcement and redress, with the Australian government committed to a ban on unfair business practices – and a strong overlap between dark patterns and the Privacy overhaul now gearing up for its second act. She sees profit upside for those that overhaul UX design now “to put the person and their wellbeing at the centre” rather than “waiting to be caught”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our conversation this week is with Vivian Van Gelder, Director of Policy & Research at the Southeast Seattle Education Coalition, a nonprofit that unites more than 50 community organizations, schools, parents, and caregivers behind advocacy for equitable education policy. Vivian is the lead author of a report called Left to Chance: Student Outcomes in Seattle Public Schools, A forensic history. It's a sweeping and detailed analysis of one public school district's leadership and policy choices over more than three decades and how those choices have shaped the educational experience of tens of thousands of students attending more than 100 schools.In her report, Vivian uncovers the story of how Seattle Public Schools embraced an experiment in local control, allowing parents and students to “vote with their feet” for support of their local schools. In theory, competition drives innovation; in practice, the story was more complicated, and it produced a fractured district with a hundred mini-systems that were unevenly funded, under-supported, and almost invisible to central leadership.We think there's a lot to be learned from this report and from researchers like Vivian who are doing the hard work of holding intractable social problems up to the light in a way that can spark progress and ignite momentum behind reform. We spend significant time discussing Seattle Public Schools in this episode, but Katie and I were struck by just how familiar some of these tensions are to what we've heard from educators in Appalachian Ohio, or to friends in suburban Maryland and rural Alaska and the Deep South. Vivian's work addresses universal questions of values and organizational leadership in public schools, and we encourage you to read it (we will link to it in our show notes).Thanks for listening to 16:1, and don't forget to sign up for our email newsletter for the latest news, resources, workshop offerings, and episode announcements from Moonbeam Multimedia.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Tony Shaffer—New York Times Bestselling Author, Retired U.S. Army Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, & President of London Center for Policy Research—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Trump Administration declassifying over 700 documents relating to the FBI's mishandling of the Steele dossier which falsely linked Donald Trump's 2016 campaign to the Russian government. 4:20pm- Matt says he deserves full credit for getting President Donald Trump to call into the show on election night…which causes Rich to yell at him even more than as typical. 4:30pm- While speaking with the press from the Oval Office alongside President Donald Trump, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele revealed that he has no plans to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to El Salvador after the Trump Administration determined he was in the U.S. illegally and a member of the gang MS-13. In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court determined that Abrego Garcia's deportation was, in part, the result of an “administrative error” and that he should “facilitate” his return to the United States—though, after the error is corrected, he would ultimately be eligible for deportation anyway. While speaking with the press, Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller denied an administrative error ever occurred. The Trump Administration also noted that because Abrego Garcia is a citizen of El Salvador, they have no recourse if Bukele denies their request for release. 5:55pm- CNN's Harry Enten reveals “shocking” polling results which indicate Republicans are now tied with Democrats as the party which shows empathy for American citizens. Historically, this has been a polling question dominated by the left. Weekday afternoons on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, Rich Zeoli gives the expert analysis and humorous take that we need in this crazy political climate. Along with Executive Producer Matt DeSantis and Justin Otero, the Zeoli show is the next generation of talk radio and you can be a part of it weekday afternoons 3-7pm.

The domestic manufacturing is expected to create over 100,000 jobs. 3:20pm- According to reports, China has suspended exportation of rare earth minerals and rare earth magnets—two components critical to modern technology. The move comes in response to the Trump Administration placing a 145% tariff on Chinese imports. 3:40pm- On Monday, the Trump Administration announced it was placing a $2.2 billion freeze on Harvard University's funding. Earlier this year, the administration terminated $800 million in grants to Johns Hopkins University.

It's an elemental question that warrants despair, yes, but plenty of hope too. Political scientist Leigh Raymond, a 2021-22 CASBS fellow, explores the implicated issues through a conversation about "Into the Clear Blue Sky: The Path to Restoring Our Atmosphere" with its author, sustainability scientist Rob Jackson.

Today's episode delves into the concept of "Acclivity" and the significance behind my choice of this term. Career growth is like climbing a hill, and the "Acclivity" mindset involves a continuous pursuit of upward movement and personal development. The metaphor of an incline is compelling in representing a career, as it conveys the notion that progress often involves effort, perseverance, and overcoming obstacles. Just as climbing a hill requires determination and resilience, so too does advancing in one's career.Moreover, I highlight the role of coaching as a crucial catalyst for success. Just as a climber may benefit from guidance and support while navigating a challenging ascent, individuals can significantly enhance their career trajectories through the insights, encouragement, and strategic advice a skilled coach provides. With the right mindset and support, the career growth journey becomes attainable and a rewarding and fulfilling endeavor.Dr. Loren M.

One of the most talked about policy experiments in India in recent memory is the reform of government schools in the city-state of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Under the leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party, the Delhi government has implemented an innovative program to equip students with foundational literacy and numeracy. But while these reforms are much discussed, they have been surprisingly under-studied. A new book by the scholar Yamini Aiyar tries to remedy this gap.Yamini's new book, Lessons in State Capacity from Delhi's Schools, draws on three years of ethnographic research where she and a team of colleagues were embedded in a cluster of schools across the national capital.Yamini is currently Visiting Senior Fellow at the Saxena Center for Contemporary South Asia and the Watson Institute at Brown University. Many of our listeners will know her from her work with the Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi, where she served as President from 2017 to 2024.To kick off season thirteen of Grand Tamasha, Yamini joins Milan on the show this week. They discuss Yamini's decade-long adventure studying India's public schools, the core elements of the Delhi education model, and the mysterious ways in which the India bureaucracy operates. Plus, they discuss whether the Delhi experiment can travel beyond the national capital.Episode notes:1. “How Bureaucracy Can Work for the Poor (with Akshay Mangla),” Grand Tamasha, March 29, 2023.2.
