Weekly Shoutout: Jim Clayton's latest album, LOOK OUT! -- Hi there, Today I am so excited to be arts calling author Merrill J. Gerber! About our guest: Merrill Joan Gerber has written thirty books, including The Kingdom of Brooklyn, winner of the Ribalow Award from Hadassah Magazine, and King of the World, winner of the Pushcart Editors' Book Award. Her fiction has been published in the New Yorker, the Sewanee Review, the Atlantic, Mademoiselle, and Redbook, and her essays in the American Scholar, Salmagundi, and Commentary. She has won an O.

She retired in 2020 after teaching writing at the California Institute of Technology for thirty-two years. Her literary archive is now at the Yale Beinecke Rare Book Library. Thanks for this wonderful conversation, Merrill! All the best! -- REVELATION AT THE FOOD BANK, now available from Sagging Meniscus Press! https://www.saggingmeniscus.com/catalog/revelation_at_the_food_bank/ ABOUT REVELATION AT THE FOOD BANK: These powerful essays share critical moments of a writer's life: scenes from sixty years of passionate married love; suicides faced and suicide contemplated; trauma at the DMV; a night lost searching for a harpsichord in the mountains of Florence, Italy; the tale of a beloved cousin whose plane is shot down by Japanese Zeros; and a precious friendship between two women writers derailed by the poisons of religion and politics. In the titular essay (included in Best American Essays 2023) a food bank, assuaging the pandemic's terrors with gifts of food and prayers, becomes a portal for intimate confidences entrusted to us by a voice of unspoiled authenticity and perennial vigor. NOTICES: “Often hilarious, deeply moving and warmly engaging, Merrill Joan Gerber's collection of memoirist essays is delightful reading. ‘I have a lot to say from my own mouth'—so Gerber confides in her readers with admirable candor and enviable chutzpah. There is much here that is unnervingly intimate—close-ups of a very long marriage, painful memories of a brother-in-law who was abusive to his family before taking his own life, the disappointments as well as the rewards of an intense friendship with a famous woman writer embittered by religion and politics—all of it narrated in Merrill Joan Gerber's distinctive voice.” —Joyce Carol Oates, author of Zero-Sum “Written from her deepest truths, these intimate essays can be heartbreaking, maybe because we see ourselves in each of them. But they are told with such humor, such delicacy, that we close the book sighing, Yes, this is life! And this is why Merrill Joan Gerber has been one of my favorites for decades.” —Judy Blume, author of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret “Uncommonly candid, honest, emotionally precise; irresistibly scrappy, edgy, visceral. Sentence by sentence, one of the best collections of personal essays I've read in years.” —Robert Atwan, Series Editor, The Best American Essays " ‘Revelation at the Food Bank', the essay that anchors Merrill Joan Gerber's collection, gives voice to the widespread rage of the covid and post-covid era. If Gerber's anger is universal, her expression of it is wholly her own—brutally honest, transgressive and at times hilarious. The subsequent ten pieces, including a contentious exchange with Cynthia Ozick on the subject of Jewish identity, present in kaleidoscopic form the complexity of her art.” —Joan Givner, author of Playing Sarah Bernhardt “Merrill Gerber's new collection of essays adds up to a rich record of twentieth-century literary life, largely epistolary, in a period when epistles were epistles, not faxes, emails, texts or DMs. Closer to the present, she addresses the way we live now with a fine blend of pathos and wit, an exact intuition for the telling and well-timed detail, and all the freshness she must have had when she first picked up her stylus long ago.” —Madison Smartt Bell, author of The Witch of Matongé “Merrill Joan Gerber is one of those fortunate writers on whom nothing is lost. Every encounter, every venture into the world leaves deep traces, which she recreates for her readers in exquisitely wry and wise language. Revelation at the Food Bank is rooted in intimacies, and yet touches on universal experience.” —Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author of Truthtelling: Stories, Fables, Glimpses “There are books that can be put together only after the author has turned eighty. Revelation At The Food Bank is one of them. Merrill Gerber's language—hot, bright, bitter—as applied to marriage and the writing life is the work of one who has nothing to lose. Thus, her memoir is exciting, brutally honest, above all memorable.” —Vivian Gornick, author of Taking a Long Look: Essays on Culture, Literature, and Feminism in Our Time “Novelist Gerber (Beauty and the Breast) brings together intimate personal essays in this stirring compendium. The hilarious title essay weaves an account of how Gerber found unexpected community at a church's food pantry ('They give me gifts, they welcome me…. I'm a Jewish girl, but I've never known the rewards of religion. Is it too late?') with reflections on the small annoyances that accumulated over her 62-year marriage ('Why does he put so much cream cheese on his bagel?')…. Gerber is a witty and astute observer with a keen eye for detail…. Elevated by Gerber's wry voice and crystalline prose, this impresses.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) -- Arts Calling is produced by Jaime Alejandro (cruzfolio.com).

Rewriting perceptions of reality and unravelling the conspiracies of the modern mirror-worldHave you ever wondered why things in life aren't quite as they seem? Why we celebrate distorted entertainments to such an extreme; or why an industrial-technology-media complex has become the dominant political and economic force of governance? Why our way of life seems morally corrupt and our choices upside-down?This is the Inversion: the model of reality that our brains have been programmed to accept and which also compels us to participate in and sustain. In his ground-breaking book, Kingsley Dennis examines these issues, questions this reality-model, and comes to some surprising conclusions.Dennis unpicks the complexities of our manipulated reality, enlightening readers to the nature and mechanisms of the inverted, mirror world that so many people have become lost within. Yet it does not need to remain this way – if people are ready and willing to open their eyes to what is going on around them.The Inversion deals with unpleasant truths which we too often ignore because a veil has been pulled over our eyes and minds.Within its pages, readers will find out about the hidden hands that work to normalize the madness of the ‘upside-down world.'Dennis also examines the social engineering of spiritual control mechanisms, machinic consciousness, the metaverse, entropic or negative forces, the evolutionary impulse, the nature of the hybrid self – and much more.This book is for those readers who are ready to open their mind and to perceive a greater reality.Kingsley L. Dennis, PhD, is a full-time writer, researcher, and publisher. He is the author of over twenty books including Hijacking Reality; Healing the Wounded Mind; The Phoenix Generation; New Consciousness for a New World; The Struggle for Your Mind; After the Car, and the celebrated Dawn of the Akashic Age (with Ervin Laszlo).He previously worked in the Sociology Department at Lancaster University, UK.

An exploration of the intersection of feminism, human rights, and memory, Ethical Encounters: Transnational Feminism, Human Rights, and War Cinema in Bangladesh (Temple University Press, 2022) examines contemporary, woman-centered Muktijuddho cinema--features and documentaries that focus on the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. Elora Chowdhury shows how these films imagine, disrupt, and reinscribe a gendered nationalist landscape of trauma, freedom, and justice. She analyzes the Bangladeshi feminist films Meherjaan, Guerilla, and Itihaash Konna, as well as socially engaged films by activist-filmmakers including Rising Silence, Bish Kanta, Jonmo Shathi, and Shadhinota, to show how war films of Bangladesh can conjure a global cinematic imagination for the advancement of human rights. Focusing on women-centric films, and steeped in Black and transnational feminist critiques, Chowdhury engages shared histories, experiences, and identities in the region to encourage transnational solidarity among women across borders. Ethical Encounters reveals how Bangladeshi national cinema can foster a much-needed dialogue among ordinary citizens who have grown up with the legacy of liberty and violence of nationalist and anti-colonial struggles. Dr. Elora Halim Chowdhury is a Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, College of Liberal Arts, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, as well as an Affiliate Faculty of the Asian Studies Department; the Asian American Studies Program; the Cinema Studies Program; and the Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance.

The Adams Family is one of the more prominent families in American history. They were at the center of the American Revolution, they helped create a new republic, shaped the young nation's foreign policy, and later were central to the development of the history profession.

On today's show, Dr. Sara Georgini joins Jim Ambuske to talk about what it's like to edit the Adams Family Papers and the questions they help us answer. Georgini is Series Editor for The Papers of John Adams, and she is also the author of Household Gods: The Religious Lives of the Adams Family, published by Oxford University Press in 2018.

In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, Dr. Cyndi Burnett and Dr. Matthew Worwood welcome back Dr. Ron Beghetto along with Laura McBain, Co-Director of the K12 Lab at the Stanford d.school. Ron and Laura recently came out with a new book, “My Favorite Failure: How Setbacks Can Lead to Learning and Growth”. As a human-centered designer, Laura's work focuses on understanding the ecosystem of education and finding meaningful opportunities for disruptive design and innovative educational experiences.    Listen in to learn about Ron and Laura's personal favorite failures, the relationship between expectations and failure, how to start the school year off with sharing favorite failures, and the valuable difference between mistakes and failures. The duo also shares their best tips and advice for new teachers as well as how to get students to push through feelings of failure so that they can learn and grow from it.   Questions Answered: Why is it important to acknowledge and talk about emotions in school? Are we more willing to take risks when we don't know the potential consequences? Are we more likely to experience failure when we do not know anything about the environment? What types of failure are the most impactful for students? (ie. F letter grades, public failure) …and more! Laura's Tips for Teachers and Parents:  Start talking about failure more. Make sure the work you're designing for young people are worth the failure. How do you design real life examples where students are taking on work of consequence? Provide multiple opportunities for students to reflect on failure daily and/or throughout the lesson.   Ron's Tips for Teachers and Parents:  Stay away from empty slogans that minimize emotions. Find ways to acknowledge and validate the emotional pain and difficulty one experiences when they're failing and talk about what to do next. Encourage and take beautiful risks yourself. Invite kids to give you feedback on your failures.

Today we take a historical look at the Battle of Actium, a huge naval battle off the coast of Greece that determined the future of what we know as the Roman Empire. We welcome Cornell University's Professor Barry Strauss back to the podcast to bring another epic battle to life (listeners will remember him from our deep dive into the life of a well known Spartan warrior named Brasidas). Barry is a Professor of History and Classics at Cornell University, Series Editor of Princeton's Turning Points in Ancient History, author of eight books, and a military and naval historian and consultant. Professor Strauss is a recognized authority on the subject of leadership and the lessons that can be learned from the experiences of the greatest political and military leaders of the ancient world (Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander among many others). This particular battle and the lead up to it involved some of the iconic names we've all heard from history like Cleopatra, Mark Anthony, Octavian Cesar, and Julius Cesar. We also learn about Rome's most decorated Naval Commander, Admiral Agrippa and how he defeats a numerically superior force. Barry's newest book “The War that Made the Roman Empire” brings this battle and the personalities to life. Those who appreciate our combat stories will enjoy hearing about how battles were fought on the open sea at this time and some of the tactics that each side had to use. While some of the military tactics have changed, the overarching military, political, and diplomatic strategy have not, to include the use of information warfare. I hope you enjoy this combat story from history as much as I did.
