This is the third and final instalment in the ODPA's podcast series, Data, Democracy and Freedom. The series examines: • How people's information can be weaponized to undermine elections and democracy • How to preserve civil liberties and strike the right balance between national security/program delivery and upholding privacy rights • How technology may be influencing our freedom of thought and expression In this podcast, ODPA Commissioner Brent Homan talks to human rights lawyer and author Susie Alegre. They explore tech-driven threats to our mental freedom - how algorithms feed off our personal data and filter content which end up shaping our everyday thoughts and choices from what we eat to how we vote. Susie Alegre is a legal pioneer in digital human rights, in particular the impact of AI on the human rights of freedom of thought and opinion. She founded the Isle of Man's Island Rights Initiative, has an MA Hons in French and Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh, a Masters in European and International Human Rights Law from the University of Nantes and a PhD in International Human Rights Law from the University of Roehampton. Susie is a Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance and Innovation (CIGI) and is fluent in French and Spanish. Susie has worked with many NGOs including Amnesty International and international organisations including the UN, the EU and the Council of Europe.

She has recently published a second book ‘Human Rights, Robot Wrongs: Being Human in the Age of AI'.

As I explore different aspects of the education transition that we need globally, and is emerging, it is increasingly clear that schools (or what might replacement them) won't be the only thing required. There is a huge amount of possibility and power in a broader ecosystem of organisations and networks taking different roles in enabling a more creative, meaning-rich, relational educational experience for young people and for communities. This week it is a huge privilege to be able to share the story of one such organisation that has been quietly getting on with incredible and impactful work doing precisely this for the last few decades at an absolutely massive scale across India. Ramji Raghavan is Founder Chairman of Agastya International Foundation. Ramji leads the world's largest hands-on Mobile Education Program for economically disadvantaged children and teachers. In 1998, Ramji left his commercial career in banking and finance to create Agastya International Foundation, to provide science education to over 25 million underprivileged children and 250,000 government school teachers across India. During his tenure, Agastya has pioneered many educational innovations at scale, including mobile science labs, lab-on-a-bike and peer-to-peer learning via mega science fairs for underprivileged children. Agastya's 172-acre campus creativity lab houses over fifteen experiential science, art and innovation centers, including the Ramanujan Math Park. With support from the government of Andhra Pradesh, Ramji and his colleagues established a 172-acre campus creativity lab near Bangalore. In 2010 the Government of Karnataka signed a MoU with Agastya International Foundation to establish an ecosystem for hands-on science education in the state. Wisdom of Agastya, an illustrated book authored by Vasant Nayak and Shay Taylor of the MurthyNayak Foundation in Baltimore, USA, chronicles Ramji and his team's journey between 1999 and 2014 in building Agastya International Foundation.In 2021 Agastya announced the creation of Navam Innovation Foundation in partnership with the Pravaha Foundation of Hyderabad.Ramji was a member of the Prime Minister's National Knowledge Commission (Working Group on attracting children to Science and Math), is a member of the board of Vigyan Prasar, New Delhi, the Karnataka State Innovation Council and Executive Council member of the Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum. In 2009, he was elected a Senior Fellow by Ashoka and in 2011 he was conferred the People's Hero Award by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) (Southern Zone).https://www.agastya.org/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramji_Raghavan@AgastyaOrg on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/AgastyaOrgThe book: 'The Moving of Mountains: The Remarkable Story of the Agastya International Foundation' by Adhirath Sethi (LID Publications): https://adhirathsethi.com/the-moving-of-mountainsDavid Penburg's article about his time at Agastya, The Owl That Flies Silently: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bEeVpAE8J8LS5JAQJYxtrYEEVX2G6Ju7/view?usp=sharing

The outcome of FTC v. Meta could reshape the social media landscape as well as U.S. merger policy. For the first time, the government is seeking to unwind two acquisitions more than a decade old, Facebook's purchase of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014. In its complaint, the Federal Trade Commission alleges that Facebook sought to eliminate threats to its social networking monopoly and ultimately harmed consumers through increased user ad loads and decreased quality and user privacy. Meta argues that the social media market is flush with competitors, including X, Snapchat, and TikTok, and that its investments helped both Instagram and WhatsApp expand rapidly. The trial concluded on May 27, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and a decision is expected anytime. Join this FedSoc Forum as we discuss the case and its potential impact.Featuring:Slade Bond, Chair, Public Policy and Legislative Affairs Practice, Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca, LLPJennifer Huddleston, Senior Fellow, Technology Policy, Cato InstituteProf. Todd Zywicki, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityModerator: Asheesh Agarwal, Consultant, American Edge Project and U.S. Chamber of Commerce--To register, click the link above.

Bonnie Buckner, PhD, is the founder and CEO of the International Institute for Dreaming and Imagery, where she teaches people how to use dreaming and imagery for personal growth, problem-solving, and enhanced creativity. Buckner has used dreamwork as the basis for her work as an executive and creative coach for over twenty years. In addition she continues to serve as an Executive Coach and Senior Fellow at George Washington University's Center for Excellence in Public Leadership and Co-Faculty Director of their eCo Leadership Coaching certification program. Discover your dreams, find your purpose, and decode your subconscious. In The Secret Mind, creative dreamwork expert Dr. Bonnie Buckner teaches you how to use your nighttime dreams as a practical tool for not only solving your challenges, but also developing your fullest potentials and living a life of purpose. Harnessing the power of dreams has been Buckner's life's work, and what she has found in doing dreamwork with executives and creatives across the globe is this: We all have a "secret mind"—the part of our brain that has all the tools we need to solve our own problems—and that "secret mind" can be accessed through your dreams. In The Secret Mind, Buckner shares her method for translating the mystery of dreams so that you have access to your own inner powerhouse for transformation. You will learn how to:—strengthen the muscle for remembering and understanding your dreams—identify patterns and unresolved issues in dreams—use the waking dream method to re-enter dreams to address unfinished business in your waking life Drawing from neurobiology and social psychology, The Secret Mind presents dreaming as a practice for both personal and global development. With Buckner's simple tools and exercises, a more beautiful, creative world is just a dream away.

In this lively episode of Teaching Keating, Molly and Weston tackle the world of Pinterest-perfect parents and teachers, diving into the pressures of social media-driven perfectionism. Molly shares her love for Pinterest as a practical tool for recipes and gardening tips, while confessing her struggles with crafts like Valentine's Day boxes. Weston, a self-proclaimed Pinterest skeptic, reveals his secret use of it for gift ideas, like a purse for Molly. Through a fun "he said, she said" segment, they explore their reactions to Pinterest-inspired ideas and the competitive "look at me" culture of modern platforms like TikTok and Instagram. They encourage listeners to use social media as a tool, not a source of comparison, and to focus on what truly matters in parenting and teaching. In this episode: * Molly defends Pinterest's usefulness while Weston rolls his eyes at its showy side. * A humorous look at their failed attempt at homemade baby food and Molly's coffee table project. * Their take on the "why" behind social media posts and avoiding the comparison trap. * Their goal: inspire educators and parents to prioritize authenticity over perfection.

The end of the 20th century saw the rise of mass incarceration as well as originalism, the idea that judges must interpret the Constitution according to its supposed original intent. In a new book, Justice Abandoned: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration, legal scholar Rachel Barkow highlights the conflict between the two. Using six Supreme Court cases, she shows how mass incarceration is at odds with the Constitution's text and original meaning. In this event, Barkow and former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, who spent eight years overseeing federal prosecutions in Manhattan, discuss what the cases in Justice Abandoned teach us about today's Supreme Court, including the long-term ramifications of sacrificing the liberty guaranteed by the Constitution in the name of public safety.If you enjoy this program, please give us a boost by liking, subscribing, and sharing with your friends.

Syria is facing perhaps its gravest crisis since the fall of the Assad regime last December. It began with sectarian clashes between Druze and Bedouins in the southern province of Sweida. Hundreds of people are reported to have been killed since sectarian clashes between Druze militias and Bedouin tribes erupted in the province on Sunday. The Druze religion is an offshoot of Shia Islam with its own unique identity and beliefs. In addition to Syria, there are sizeable communities of Druze in Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and the occupied Golan Heights. Edward Stourton speaks to Dr Omar Imady, Senior Fellow, Centre for Syrian studies.Roman Catholic Cardinal Pizzaballa and the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem have been visiting the Christian communities in Gaza and delivering 500 tons of aid after the Church of the Holy Family was hit by an Israeli Strike. Two women aged 84 and 69 were killed along with the 60-year-old janitor of the church. Nine others were injured including the parish priest Fr Gabriel Romanelli. The office of the Israeli PM issued a statement saying it regrets that stray munition hit the church and that it is committed to protecting civilians and holy sites.

Over the last six months, life has been upended for  millions of people in America as Stephen Miller's extreme immigration policies have been unleashed. And while the first weeks of the second Trump administration saw some genuine pushback from the Supreme  Court, six months in, that feint at checking and balancing has fallen away. On this week's Amicus podcast, Dahlia Lithwick welcomes Aaron Reichlin Melnick, Senior Fellow at the American Immigration Council. Reichlin Melnick last appeared on the show in the days after Trump's inauguration and the initial barrage of lawless Executive Orders targeting the immigration system and the millions caught in it. Half a year into Trump 2.0, and Stephen Miller's no-holds-barred anti-immigrant plan for America, what's stuck? What's accelerated? And in light of the new budget, what's next? Want more Amicus?

What was it like to be a Christian in the earliest centuries after the resurrection of Christ? How did theological thinking and the understandings of authority develop? Dr. George Kalantzis helps us consider the layers of complexity that early Christians wrestled with as the church was established. George points out the important place of canon, creeds, apostolicity and ethics, underpinned by submission to the Holy Spirit. Born and raised in Athens, Greece, George brings a unique perspective to the study of the patristic period, so bring your questions into the classroom for “The First Christian Centuries” (July 28–Aug 1). You can also catch his Evening Public Lecture on July 28 at 7:30 pm: Migration and Refugees (and the Re-humanizing Role of the Church).Note: At 49:50, Dr. Kalantzis references Project 1611, but he intended to say Project 1619 and the 1776 Commission when reflecting on competing historical narratives in the United States.George's BioDr. George Kalantzis is Professor of Theology and Director of The Wheaton Center for Early Christian Studies at Wheaton College. A native of Athens, Greece, he specializes in historical theology with a focus on early Christianity, particularly the development of Christological and Trinitarian thought, ecclesial ethics, and the Church's engagement with Greco-Roman culture. Dr. Kalantzis is the author and editor of several volumes, including Caesar and the Lamb: Early Christian Attitudes on War and Military Service. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Senior Fellow with the International Association for Refugees, where his work intersects theology and humanitarian advocacy. George will be joining us here in the last week of July to teach “The First Christian Centuries.” He will also be giving an Evening Public Lecture on Monday July 28, titled Migration and Refugees (and the Re-humanizing Role of the Church).Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Resources MentionedVisual Museum of Women in ChristianityInternational Association for RefugeesRegent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

The health of the world's oceans is a growing concern but measuring ocean health is a complicated undertaking. Some people studying the issue focus on pollution, while others look at the health of corals or marine mammals. One project attempts to take a comprehensive picture of the health of oceans in order to provide information about Oceanic vital signs to stakeholders. The Ocean Health Index is the focus of this episode of Stats+Stories with guests Lelys Bravo and Julia Stewart Lowndes. Lelys Bravo is a Statistics Professor at the Department of Statistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before that she was a member of the Science Steering Committee of the Biospherical Aspects of the Hydrological Cycle project from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) and Lead author of the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment report. Her research interests include spatial and temporal analysis of environmental data, including the development of risk assessment methods to evaluate the impacts of natural hazards under potential climate change. Julia Stewart Lowndes (@juliesquid) is a marine ecologist, data scientist, and Senior Fellow at the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) at the University of California Santa Barbara. She champions kinder, better science in less time through open data science and teamwork. As a marine data scientist, Mozilla Fellow, and Senior Fellow at NCEAS, she has 7+ years designing and leading programs to empower science teams with skillsets and mindsets for reproducible research, empowering researchers with existing open tools and communities. She has been building communities of practice in this space since 2013 with the Ocean Health Index.

We know that our 'democracy' is, in fact, a kleptocracy that is not fit for purpose IF that purpose is the continuation of complex life on earth. The sociopaths who have stolen control show no signs of shifting to something that works, so it's way past time that ordinary people across all walks of life embraced the tools of participatory democracy and wrought the new system that we need - a new House of the People which would, finally, accrue power to those with wisdom and enact governance of, for and by the people and the planet.  To do this, we need people who are intimately aquainted with these tools, who live them, breathe them, find joy and creativity in them and know how to share them in ways ordinary people understand.  Our House is a collective that exists to do exactly this and in today's episode, we're talking to Katy Rubin and Oli Whittington, two of its core team, to find out what it does and how and why - and, crucially, where it could take us if we all jump on board.  Katy Rubin is a Legislative Theatre practitioner and strategist based in the UK. She is founder of The People Act hub for creative civic practice. She works in partnership with local and national governments, advocacy organizations, and community groups to co-create equitable and innovative public policy through participatory processes that are joyful, creative, and inclusive. Katy is also a member of the Our House UK collective, a Senior Fellow with People Powered: Global Hub for Participatory Democracy, and a Senior Atlantic Fellow at London School of Economics, as well as former executive director of Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. Her Legislative Theatre work with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority was awarded the International Observatory of Participatory Democracy's 2022 award for Best Practice in Citizen Participation.Oli Whittington is the initiator and co-lead of Our House, drawing on his background in participatory design and democracy. Oli's work has focused on unpacking and addressing the concentration of power, including leading democratic innovation at Nesta, Shift Design's participation practice, and as a participatory designer in Arup's urban innovation studio.Together, they are working around all four nations of the UK to help bring the tools of participatory democracy to communities of place, purpose and passion.  They are helping to facilitate local participatory processes with a view to creating National Charters for each Nation and then bringing people together to decide whether we want a united Charter for the whole of the UK or remain separate.  To me, creating a governance system that is fit for purpose is absolutely essential to our moving forward through the pinch point of the Great Transition.  If we can't find coherent, constructive, compassionate, courageous ways to work together, we're sunk—and while there might be courageous, compassionate people within the current system, the overall system is not any of these.  So I dearly hope that by the end of this, you'll want to become involved. And if you're listening to this podcast as it goes out on the 16th of July 2025, you should know that there's an online event on the 18th which in an open invitation to anyone, anywhere who wants to start building an open democracy.  Please do sign up, there's a link in the show notes. Our House website https://ourhouseuk.org/Our House Event on 18th July 2025 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/power-to-the-people-shaping-a-peoples-charter-tickets-1415315900959 Movement Mapping https://movementecology.org.uk/2025/04/27/mapping-participatory-democracy-movement.htmlEast Marsh United https://eastmarshunited.org/Legislative Theatre Resource Hub https://www.thepeopleact.org/Charter 88 and the Constitutional Reform Movement https://academic.oup.com/pa/article-abstract/62/4/537/1538934?What we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering 'Dreaming Your Death Awake' (you don't have to be a member) it's on 2nd November - details are here.If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

In this insightful episode of Teaching Keating, Molly and Weston share their seasoned perspectives on identifying ineffective professional development (PD) sessions, drawing from their extensive experience as educators and PD participants. They humorously outline three telltale signs of a "garbage PD," from awkward icebreakers and dismissive "parking lot" question tactics to overly simplistic buzzwords like "engagement" and "innovation." Through a lively "he said, she said" segment, they reveal their personal pet peeves, like Weston's disdain for slide readers and Molly's love for turn-and-talk strategies. Their candid discussion, peppered with anecdotes about their teaching lives, encourages educators to champion great PD and approach all sessions with professionalism. In this episode: * Molly and Weston reveal three signs you're stuck in a subpar PD session. * A humorous take on Weston's earthy wardrobe choices and Molly's jumpsuit preference. * Their frustrations with buzzwords and overly rah-rah presenters. * Their goal: inspire educators to value and promote effective PD while staying respectful.

This term, the Supreme Court  addressed some of the biggest challenges in its history, with a president determined to break through the constitutional limits of executive power and the Court's own public approval near all-time lows. Did the justices stand up for the Constitution on the biggest issue facing the country, the extraordinary executive power grab? Against this backdrop, the justices handed down rulings in key cases affecting millions of people's lives, including access to health care, education, and political representation and the power of federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Whether you follow the Court closely or are looking to understand its role in our system of checks and balances, this discussion will provide essential context for how the Court is working today. Speakers:Joyce Vance, Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Law, University of Alabama School of Law; Senior Fellow, Brennan Center for JusticeCecillia Wang, National Legal Director, ACLUKim Wehle, Professor of Law, University of Baltimore School of LawModerator: Alicia Bannon, Director, Brennan Center Judiciary Program and Kohlberg Center on the U.S. Supreme CourtIf you enjoy this program, please give us a boost by liking, subscribing, and sharing with your friends.

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire remains in limbo, raising urgent questions: What does each side truly want from a ceasefire — and who gets to define its success? As families continue to plead for the return of all hostages, both living and deceased, international pressure mounts while domestic divisions intensify. We hear from Shosh Bedrosian of Israel TV (ILTV) and Eric Mandel of the Middle East Political Information Network to unpack the emotional, political and strategic stakes on the ground. Meanwhile, in New York, the mayoral race takes an unexpected turn as Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo launch independent campaigns, threatening to split Democrats' vote. At the same time,  Zohran Mamdani, an anti-Israel candidate, is buoyed by growing support. What does this reveal about the direction — and divisions — of New York's Democratic base? Douglas Murray, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, provides insights on the candidates and the future of New York's Democratic Party.

In this BONUS hour of The Sean Hannity Show, Sean sits down with Kurt Couchman, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy at Americans for Prosperity, to dismantle three persistent myths about the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” With facts and fiscal clarity, Couchman sets the record straight: Myth #1: “Only the wealthy benefited from the Trump tax cuts.”FACT: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered across-the-board tax relief—from doubling the standard deduction to lowering rates at every income level. Myth #2: “The bill cuts Medicaid for those who depend on it.”FACT: Reforms focus on efficiency and restoring Medicaid’s intended mission—not slashing support for vulnerable populations. Myth #3: “This bill explodes the deficit.”FACT: The real culprit is out-of-control spending—not tax cuts. Federal spending has tripled since 2001, while the 2017 cuts spurred growth, boosted incomes, and actually helped revenue. Growth, Couchman argues, is the antidote to deficits. A must-listen for anyone debating tax policy, entitlement reform, and fiscal responsibility. Please follow The Sean Hannity Show wherever you get your podcasts.
