In this episode of District 3 Podcast, hosts Irvin and Miggs sit down with educator, organizer, and scholar Jonathan Peraza Campos. A passionate advocate for Latinx education, Jonathan is an educator Teaching Central America—an initiative aimed at empowering Latinx students through a deeper understanding of their Central American heritage and history. Jonathan's educational journey spans from his undergraduate degree at Emory University to his Master's in Social Foundations of Education from Georgia State University, and now, as he pursues a second Master's in History and Latinx/Latin American Studies. His academic work intersects with his activism, focusing on the connections between racism, imperialism, militarism, immigration, incarceration, and education, particularly in the context of the US South and Central America. In this conversation, Jonathan shares how his work with Teaching Central America is not just about teaching history—it's about connecting Latinx youth to their cultural roots, fostering pride and resilience, and addressing systemic issues that impact their communities. Jonathan discusses how education can be a tool for social justice, with a focus on Latinx and migrant youth in the Atlanta area. He explores the ways that history, identity, and resistance are intertwined, and how teaching these subjects can spark courage and activism in the classroom and beyond. Join Irvin and Miggs as they discuss the transformative power of education, the importance of reclaiming Central American history, and how Jonathan's work is helping to build a generation of brave, empowered Latinx leaders.

Authors Julia C. Lerch, David John Frank, and Evan Schofer discuss the article, "The Social Foundations of Academic Freedom: Heterogeneous Institutions in World Society, 1960 to 2022," published in the February 2024 issue of American Sociological Review.

This month, we speak with Larry Johnson, associate professor in the Social Foundations of Education Program at the University of South Florida, Saint Petersburg. In his pedagogy, Johnson focuses on the complex relationship between education, culture, and society with the goal of exploring policies and practices from historical and contemporary perspectives that address structural inequality, and transforming educational institutions into sites for social justice. Johnson is notably a long-time proponent of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and variously mobilizes MMT's insights when training our teachers-to-be. In our conversation with Johnson, we discover just how constrained the US system of public education is by wrong economic thinking and what it would mean to think otherwise. Together, we ask: How do federal interest rates shape US education policy? What do standardized tests have to tell us about neoclassical economics and the nature of money? Why is the rhetoric of education in the United States so narrowly focused on preparing students for careers? How do classist and racist myths of taxpayer financing create unequal schooling? And how could we ever reasonably hope for the political economy of education in the United States to ever be otherwise? Pondering such questions, Johnson opens a window onto his longstanding advocacy for radically rethinking US public education through the lens of endogenous public money theory. Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

“Medical gaslighting” of women and other groups has been described in popular media. As a physician, I never want to think that I am gaslighting, or purposefully dismissing, patients and their concerns. From a sociological perspective, medical decision-making has built-in bias or schemas or mental representations, and there are entire systems around this that need to be addressed for more equitable care. Listen in to a sociological analysis of medical decision-making and how more awareness of bias within systems can be beneficial. Dr. Karen Luftey Spencer, MA PhD is a Professor of Health and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver. She researches medical decision making, health disparities, and patient-provider relationships. She received her BA in Sociology/Anthropology from Gustavus Adolphus College in 1993, and her MA and PhD in Sociology from Indiana University in 1995 and 2000. She was recently quoted in a NYT article titled, “Women Are Calling Out ‘Medical Gaslighting'” (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/28/well/live/gaslighting-doctors-patients-health.html).

Over the past few years and especially now— with COVID-19-related lockdowns necessitating that families stay at home—an increasing number of parents have chosen to home-school their children. This choice stems from several reasons: political views and distrust in the education system; anxiety about their children's safety; or simply as an expression of their right to freedom. In the newest episode of our podcast, Quality Education, Dr. Jameson Brewer, Assistant Professor of Social Foundations of Education at the University of North Georgia and author of ‘Homeschooling: A Guidebook of Practices, Claims, Issues, and Implications', published by Brill, talks in detail about the changing trends in home-schooling practices. His compelling evidence makes us rethink our perception of formal education and lays bare the reality of educating a child without the support of experts or an educational system. We discuss how COVID-19, and socioeconomic, political, and racial status (among other factors), influence a parent's decision of choosing a school for their child. Learn more about your ad choices.

Wilma Wake was diagnosed autistic in her mid 60s. Now 74, she lives in Maine in the United States, where she is a licenced clinical social worker and retired ordained minister. Despite working with autistic people, she never thought she might be autistic herself until she read a book that changed her life.  She became active in an autistic adults' peer support group after her diagnosis, and is now co-facilitator of the group. Her social work practice is devoted primarily to working with older autistic adults, neurodiverse couples, and autistic children and their families. She is committed to helping train other service providers to work with autistic adults. She has a doctorate in Feminist-Liberation Theology and and a PhD in Social Foundations of Education, and has recently published a book co-authored with two other autistic adults, Older Autistic Adults in their Own Words: The Lost Generation. In our conversation we talk about: ➡ Getting an autism diagnosis later in life ➡ The power of support groups ➡ Being an autistic therapist ➡ The unique experiences of older autistic adults ➡ ‘Coming out' as autistic - being prepared, and political and social parallels with coming out as LGBT+ Squarepeg is a podcast in which neurodivergent women, and trans and nonbinary people, explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes. I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences. I'm Amy Richards, and after being diagnosed autistic at the age of 37 I'm now on a mission to learn more about different perspectives and issues around being a neurodivergent adult in a world that feels like it doesn't quite fit.   EPISODE LINKS: Wilma's website: http://awakeningswithwake.com/ Wilma's book is 'Older Autistic Adults in their Own Words:  The Lost Generation', by Eric Endlich, Robert S. Lagos and Wilma Wake. Available from all good booksellers. The book that prompted Wilma to seek an autism assessment was Rudy Simone's 'Aspergirls'.

Today we look at counter narratives to Teach for All, the global network of affiliate organizations that recruit people to make 2-year commitments teaching in high-need schools. An outgrowth of Teach for America and Teach First in the United Kingdom, Teach for All advances a one-size fits all solution to educational problems in over 53 countries. It is funded by powerful corporations and organizations, such as the Clinton Global Initiative, and has become an important actor in the global education reform movement. But what do former recruits think of Teach for All? How does Teach for All’s carefully crafted message of reform translate into practice? My guests today are Jameson Brewer, Kathleen deMarrais and Kelly L. McFaden who have recently co-edited a volume called Teach for All Counter Narratives. The book is a collection of first-hand accounts where former recruits offer powerful critiques of the organization and its methods. T. Jameson Brewer is an Assistant Professor of Social Foundations of Education at the University of North Georgia where Kelly L. McFaden is a professor. Kathleen deMarrais is a Professor and Department Head in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, and Policy at the University of Georgia. https://freshedpodcast.com/tjamesonbrewer-kathleendemarrais-kellylmcfaden/ -- Get in touch!

In this episode of Who Belongs? we hear from a three-guest panel of Berkeley faculty who provide various perspectives on the different forms of racism we’ve been witnessing since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hear about the experiences of Asian Americans who are facing a surge in hate crimes, the disparate impacts on black and brown communities in terms of the rates of death, and about how politicians are using the crisis to engage in racial fear mongering. But the panelists don’t focus so much on the incidents themselves as on the structures that have created the conditions for these forms of racism to emerge with such force. The panelists examine these issues by placing them in historical, social, and political contexts so we can think about how to respond to the crisis in ways that doesn’t reinforce the structures that set the stage for what we’re currently experiencing. The guests are Catherine Ceniza Choy, who is a Professor of Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies, and Comparative Ethnic Studies; Ian Haney López, who is a Professor of Law and Director of the Racial Politics Project, and the author of Dog-Whistle Politics, and the more recent book Merge Left; and Osagie K. Obasogie, who is a Professor of Bioethics and chair of our Institute’s Health Disparities research cluster.

The relationship between Islam and the environment has a long and rich history across various Muslim societies. Anna M. Gade, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, outlines several strains where these domains intersect in her book Muslim Environmentalisms: Religious and Social Foundations (Columbia University Press, 2019). Gade takes the reader through a number of literary and scriptural sources that Muslims have deployed over history but also steeps her analysis in decades of on the ground ethnographic fieldwork, especially in Southeast Asia. Specific examples reveal the interplay between local, regional, and global contexts as interpretive positions shift and realign across each theme. This combination creates a productive template for rethinking Muslim environmentalism within the larger framework of the Environmental Humanities. In our conversation we discussed Qur'anic theological resources and themes, environmentalism and development work, legal and ethical contexts, ideals of environmental justice, Muslim humanistic traditions, eco-sufism, devotional rituals and popular piety, ethnographic video materials for course use, and green Islam in Indonesia. Kristian Petersen is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies at Old Dominion University. He is the author of Interpreting Islam in China: Pilgrimage, Scripture, and Language in the Han Kitab (Oxford University Press, 2017). He is currently working on a monograph entitled The Cinematic Lives of Muslims, and is the editor of the forthcoming volumes Muslims in the Movies: A Global Anthology (ILEX Foundation) and New Approaches to Islam in Film (Routledge).

Eine nächste »Guerilla-Attacke« auf die Festung Wissenschaft, mit Blick in die Zukunft: Welche Rolle spielt Abstraktion für das moderne, wissenschaftliche Denken? (1) Wir beginnen mit der Frage, wie sich das Denken vom Speziellen zum Allgemeinen, oder vom »Mythos« zum »Logos« entwickelt hat, besuchen dazu das antike Griechenland, Plato, Aristoteles und die Pythagoräer. (2) Dann machen wir einen Zwischenstopp während der kommunistischen Revolution in Russland zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Entfernte Regionen der Sowjetunion wurden durch radikale soziale und ökonomische Änderungen gezwungen. Dazu gehört auch ein Bildungsprogramm, das die entferntesten russischen Regionen mit einschließt. Der russische Psychologe Alexander Luria begleitet diese Entwicklung und sieht dies als »natürliches Experiment«. Er fragt sich wenn man die Arbeit der Menschen verändert und ihnen mehr Abstraktion beibringt: welchen Einfluss wird das auf ihr Denken und ihren Geist haben? »Vormoderne Menschen sehen den Wald vor lauter Bäumen nicht, moderne Menschen die Bäume nicht im Wald.«  (3) Wir kehren dann in die Gegenwart um zu sehen, warum Abstraktion fundamental für einen erfolgreichen Umgang mit unserer Zukunft ist John Dewey: Über das Lösen von Problemen Flynn Effekt – und unser Lernen von der komplexen Umgebung in der wir uns bewegen Wie reagieren Schule und Universität? Und zuletzt stellt Franz Wuketits die These in den Raum, dass Abstraktion für unseren Umgang mit der Zukunft fundamental ist. Referenzen Griechenland David C.
