Podcasts about Social studies

Send a textJessica has been teaching in Florida since 2003, although she did some investing while in HS, the personal finance bug caught her in her 40's. We discuss the power of teachers understanding all of the investing buckets available to them, the messy middle of life, raising 3 kids, and how personal finance education can transform our students and our teachers. Like most people, she wishes she understood the power of the 457(b) as a young teacher, and she doesn't want any other teacher to feel the way she once did. Knowledge is power, and Jess is empowering her family, students, and colleagues! Be a guest on the show:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/contact-8Check out our website:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/Sign up for FIT coaching:https://www.financiallyindependentteachers.com/services-4

What if the most consequential “Marxist” of a generation refused to call himself one—and was more consistent for it? We dive into Immanuel Wallerstein's intellectual journey, from C. Wright Mills's classrooms to African political movements and a close reading of Fanon, to the long durée horizons inspired by Fernand Braudel. Along the way, we unpack how world‑systems analysis took shape against modernization theory, challenged neat stages of growth, and rejected methodological nationalism without abandoning struggles for national liberation.We trace Wallerstein's friendships and frictions with the thinkers often grouped as the world‑systems “gang of four”—Samir Amin, Giovanni Arrighi, and Andre Gunder Frank—and the Maoist currents that pulled many left intellectuals in the 1960s and 70s. Then we explore where they parted: Frank's ancient world system, Arrighi's China‑as‑hegemon thesis, and Wallerstein's claim that capitalism entered structural crisis in the 1970s, foreclosing any stable successor hegemon. We also revisit Monthly Review's influence (underdevelopment, unequal exchange) and what Wallerstein rejected (monopoly capital as a “stage,” stagist history, and nation‑bound strategies).If you've heard core, periphery, and semi‑periphery tossed around like a simple map, this conversation resets the frame: these are world‑systemic relations that cut within and across states. We highlight why Wallerstein's absolute immiseration thesis matters now, how his optimism lived in the transition—50 percent chance for a better system, 50 percent for worse—and why internationalism is the missing key when national victories stall out. From techno‑feudalism chatter to BRICS and the Belt and Road, we ask whether we're seeing a new phase or an old system failing, and what agency looks like on the far side of decay.Listen for a clear, historically grounded tour through Wallerstein's ideas, the debates they shaped, and the stakes they raise for today's left. If the road ahead isn't automatic progress, it's strategy and solidarity.

Courses on Western Civilization were once a staple in schools.  No longer.  It’s been replaced by Global Civilization or Social Studies courses.  Our guest,  former Harvard Professor, James Hankins and his co-author, Professor Allen Guelzo, sought to change that so that the good resulting from the traditions of Western Civilization–its art, literature, law, philosophy, science, faith, and tolerance–are preserved and, thus, perpetuated.  Professor Hankins authored volume I of ‘The Golden Thread: A History of the Western Tradition” and Professor Guelzo will take this impressive work from the 1500’s to the modern day in Volume II.  The epic scope of the project is meant to provide that which threads from ancient Greece, through the Roman Empire and Christendom and then to more modern civilizations, including our own.  The second volume will provide context as to how our Founding Fathers tried to maintain the synthesis of reason and compassion, the twin exemplars of the tradition they unpack for us.  Western Civilization’s great achievements predominate, but its failings are also a part of this scholarly work.  Professor Hankins joins us today to discuss.
