Episode 130: Higher education has been in the news a lot lately, and the news isn’t the kind college administrators are hoping to see. Questions about what’s being taught in the classroom, and how that affects admissions and free speech, are all making headlines at campuses across this nation. Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss how the role of universities has changed over the past few decades and how more specialized workplaces are requiring a more specialized approach in the classroom. Links to stories discussed during the podcast: Legislation doesn't address problems with higher education, by Richard Kyte The General Education Act Renews Liberal Education in America, by Peter Berkowitz, The Tennessee Star Teacher are limiting lessons on political, social issues, report finds, by Hannah Natanson, The Washington Post College is all about curiosity. And that requires free speech. by Stephen L. Carter. The New York Times Magazine About the hosts: Scott Rada is social media manager with Lee Enterprises, and Richard Kyte is the director of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wis. His forthcoming book, "Finding Your Third Place," will be published by Fulcrum Books.

Carter
On March 10-11, 1989, the Federalist Society's University of Michigan student chapter hosted the eighth annual National Student Symposium in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The topic of the conference was "Property: The Founding, The Welfare State, and Beyond." The conference's fourth panel discussed "Intellectual and Informational Property Rights."Featuring:Prof. Stephen L. Carter, Yale Law SchoolJudge Frank H. Easterbrook, U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh CircuitProf. Edmund W. Kitch, University of Virginia School of LawModerator: Dean Lee C. Bollinger, University of Michigan Law School*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speakers.
2:30 What's the connection between ethics and civility?Stephen L. Carter says in his book Civility that Civility is the root of Civilization.An ethical mindset creates the relationships that lead to a civil culture.5:00 How do we create a civil culture when we disagree on our (allegedly) shared values?The truth is we can't. We have to first identify those values we are all invested in, then we have to engage in conversations of constructive disagreement so that we don't devalue each other.7:00 We have to deal with family members with whom we don't see eye to eye. What are some of those issues?Do masks infringe on individual rights or do our responsibilities to the general welfare take precedence?If we use the letter of the law as an excuse to circumvent the spirit of the law then we've missed the point that law is a guide to responsible civic conduct.11:30 Does science prove that masks help? How can we believe officials when we are presented with conflicting data? Should lay people base their own decisions on their own interpretation of reported data?14:00 Since we face so many political and social issues that require ethical judgment, why doesn't the department of education mandate at least one course in ethics?16:00 How do you teach ethics? Start with critical thinking by understanding both sides of an issue to acquire a more complete and more mature world view. See Jonathan Haidt: https://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_haidt_the_moral_roots_of_liberals_and_conservatives?language=en18:30 “E is for Ethics” https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Ian-James-Corlett/dp/143918254X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=e+is+for+ethics&qid=1612969349&sr=8-119:00 Why aren't you a communist? You have to know the “me” before knowing the “not me.”What are the barriers to having difficult discussions?We first absorb our values from our environment. Sometimes it's scary and threatening to seriously consider another point of view. It's easier to surround ourselves with people who think just like us.23:00 How do you rebuke without shame?Deb: First identify something positive, then ask permission to offer a critique.Dave: When you challenge, people reflexively shut down.Richard: Preserve their positive self-image.30:00 How do you start a positive conversation about ethics?Richard: I want to be the best person I can be.First articulate back what has been said to demonstrate understanding before arguing, then coming at the issue obliquely rather than head on.Rather than “why,” ask “help me understand.”JoAnna: ask questions that evoke empathy.40:00 A willingness to listen to sound arguments and see past stereotypes allows us to cultivate intellectual integrity and revisit our beliefs.There has to be that willingness to hear people out and understand their positions.49:30 Recognize differences between men and women's styles of communication.55:00 The Jewish process of repentance: stop the behavior, feel remorse, verbalize the apology/confession, make a plan not to repeat the behavior. 58:00 word of the day: Ultracrepidarianism. Expressing an opinion or giving advice outside one's area of expertise.How we represent ourselves is a function of ethics.

A lot has happened in the world over the past couple weeks that hasn’t been reflected on the podcast because June episodes were recorded in mid-May. So, I wanted to bring you this special bonus episode to highlight some books by black authors that I’ve loved over the past couple years. These are stories of the lives of particular black characters and people that have stuck with me (in many cases for years) since I read them. I’m also looking to highlight more stories by and about black people moving forward on the podcast.

This biography of Manhattan District Attorney Eunice Carter is remarkable—both for her accomplishments—including helping to take down the notorious mobster “Lucky” Luciano—and also for being a trailblazer as an African-American woman in the 1930s.

Manisha Sinha is the Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut. She was born in India and received her Ph.D from Columbia University where her dissertation was nominated for the Bancroft prize. Her book The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition (Yale University Press, 2016) centers the role of African Americans in ending slavery in the US by detailing the actions they took, the ideas they generated, and the ways they influenced white abolitionists. Acts of Black rebellion including the Haitian Revolution, escapes from bondage and slave revolts shaped the analysis and trajectory of the movement. Drawing on extensive archival research that spans centuries and nations, Sinha paints a complex picture of the transnational and radical movement to end slavery in the US from the 1500s to the Civil War. Previous historical scholarship on abolitionism focused on white participants in the “second wave” of abolitionism, depicting them as paternalistic middle-class reformers who believed in capitalism and imperialism. In contrast, Sinha treats the black and white streams of the abolition movement together, details the “first wave” of organized abolitionist activity as well as the second, and outlines the radical visions of democracy held by many abolitionists. These advocates linked their opposition to slavery to support of the labor movement, utopian socialism and women’s rights and questioned imperialism and market society. The robust movement to end slavery involved men and women, black and white, free, enslaved and formerly enslaved. Despite sometimes bitter disagreements over goals, strategy and tactics, abolitionists found ways to work together. The Slave’s Cause has been reviewed in the New York Times, The Atlantic, and numerous scholarly journals. It was also named to the National Book Awards Longlist for 2016, and as one of Stephen L. Carter’s’ top three “Great History Books of 2016.” Isabell Moore is a PhD Student in the History Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on social movements in the 20th century and she is involved in activism for racial, gender, economic and queer justice. Learn more about your ad choices.

The robust movement to end slavery involved men and women, black and white, free, enslaved and formerly enslaved. Despite sometimes bitter disagreements over goals, strategy and tactics, abolitionists found ways to work together. The Slave’s Cause has been reviewed in the New York Times, The Atlantic, and numerous scholarly journals. It was also named to the National Book Awards Longlist for 2016, and as one of Stephen L. Carter’s’ top three “Great History Books of 2016.” Isabell Moore is a PhD Student in the History Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
