In this episode, Eric sits down with artist, curator and professor; Jamaal Sheats. They discuss his background — growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, his interest in the arts, his educational background, attending Fisk University and ultimately ending up at Fisk University as a faculty member! Sheats sheds light on how at first he ‘ran' from the arts — wanting to be a business major, an entrepreneur but how he ultimately pursued his artistic passions and the role his parents played in encouraging him on his artistic path. They discuss the mentors he had that were instrumental in his life, the technique of repoussé, training and developing as an artist. The artists that helped inform his work and how he pays homage to his lineage and ancestors through it. They discuss his involvement at  the prestigious institution of Fisk University — a historically black university, the art department that was established by Aaron Douglas, the impressive long list of alumni and its mission to educate and inspire the next generation of art leaders and advocates. The extensive collections held by Fisk, his role as an art professor, the programs and exhibitions that Sheats has curated throughout the years and his exciting plans for the future.For more visit: www.ericsperspective.comGuest Bio:  Jamaal B.

Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher. As Gaia mentioned in her first blog, she had a slightly different PhD experience to most. Her funding and course enrolment fees were paid for by a Teaching Fellowship. This provided four years in which to run experiments, write up a thesis and teach for up to 180 hours in her department every year. In this blog, Gaia explores how this joint research-teaching experience helped her as an ECR, shaped her research and career to date and opened up other avenues and opportunities along the way - it also includes a few tips on how to get teaching. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/guest-blog-teaching-as-an-ecr-why-take-the-time-to-do-it/ -- Dr Gaia Brezzo is a Research Fellow based within the UK Dementia Research Institute at The University of Edinburgh. Gaia's research focuses on understanding how immune alterations triggered by stroke shape chronic maladaptive neuroimmune responses that lead to post-stroke cognitive decline and vascular dementia. Raised in Italy, Gaia came to the UK to complete her undergraduate degree, and thankfully, stuck around. Gaia writes about her work and career challenges, when not biking her way up and down hills in Edinburgh. Follow Gaia on Twitter: @Gaia_Brezzo -- Enjoy listening?

Healing Our Hearts After the COVID Isolation with World-Renowned Psychiatrist Peter Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin Renowned Physician Exposes the Organized Individuals and Groups Behind COVID-19 Coercion and Scientific Fraud on a Global Scale. Since January 2020, authors Peter R Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin worked fulltime for 18 months examining the real science surrounding COVID-19 and criticizing the fraudulent science used to justify the suppression of personal and political liberty throughout the world. Their extensive research is a wakeup call like no other to rescue freedom around the world. COVID-19 and the Global Predators documents the shocking corruption behind the pandemic catastrophe and shatters the perception that it was an unintended mishap. The Breggins detail the motivations, conflicts of interest and deceitful collaborations of the major players behind draconian pandemic policies leading to what they describe as the suppression of our personal freedoms. They disclose for the first time the 2015-2016 master plan created by Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab working with leading health officials in the U.S., the U.N., and WHO as well as billionaires, international corporations, and Chinese Communist officials. They unearth a global governance bent on predation. “No other book than COVID-19 and the Global Predators so comprehensively covers the details of COVID-19 criminal conduct as well as its origins in a network of global predators seeking wealth and power at the expense of human freedom and prosperity, under cover of false public health policies.”  ~Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., author of The Real Anthony Fauci The book has separate stirring Introductions by three of the world's leading COVID-19 physicians: Peter McCullough MD, MPH; Vladimir "Zev" Zelenko MD; and Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD. The book has strong endorsements from Robert F Kennedy, Jr. (above) and Paul Alexander PhD, former consultant to the White House Coronavirus Task Force and the World Health Organization (WHO), who says its “depth and reach is beyond reproach . . . the most detailed, scientific and rational analysis to date . . . stunningly comprehensive and broad.” COVID-19 and the Global Predators concludes with hopeful and inspiring messages, a call to courage, and examples and guidance about how we can retake our freedom worldwide personally and politically. The Breggins conclude, “We must revive our trust in each other. We must strengthen our belief in loving one another and in supporting each other's liberty.” Tune in to see and hear a rallying cry for an end to the oppressive climate of fear and a return to love, liberty and truth, as we discuss the new book from COVID-19 experts and lifelong reformers Peter Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin. Peter R. Breggin MD and Ginger Ross Breggin's book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey, published in November 2021. It is available on Amazon and other online bookstores worldwide and can be purchased directly from them at a discount, only in the United States at www.WeAreThePrey.com. Bio: Peter R. Breggin MD is a lifelong reformer, called “The Conscience of Psychiatry” for his criticism of biological psychiatry and his advocacy for effective, empathic, and ethical forms of psychological, educational, and social approaches to emotional and psychological distress. He graduated from Harvard College with Honors and his psychiatric training included a Teaching Fellowship at Harvard Medical School. He then became a Full Time Consultant in at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Since then, he has taught at several universities, including Johns Hopkins, George Mason, the University of Maryland, as well as the Washington School of Psychiatry. He has been a medical expert in over 100 trials, many related to scientific issues in this book, and is now an expert in COVID-19 cases. He has authored 70 scientific articles, plus many medical books and bestsellers, including Talking Back to Prozac with his wife Ginger Breggin. Bio: Ginger Ross Breggin is also a lifelong reformer. She has been an editor of newspapers and magazines, and has a background in publishing and public relations. She has been Dr. Breggin's partner in all his reform work since they married in 1984. She has coauthored or coedited four of his 20+ books, including Talking Back to Prozac which sold almost one million copies, and has helped develop and edit several others. In 2009, she edited and published The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD, based on testimonials and media reports about her husband's first 54 years (1954-2009) of efforts to improve his profession and to advocate for the rights of patients. Ginger manages most of their outreach and keeps in touch with innumerable individual leaders and groups involved in the treatment of COVID-19 and the movement to reinspire and to rescue freedom throughout the world. Ginger Ross Breggin has a background in journalism, book editing, bookmaking, and book publishing. Since 1984, she has partnered with Peter as a coauthor, writer, editor, researcher, organization administrator, advisor, and communicator with the outside world. When hints of a possible new pandemic reached the U.S. in January 2020, Ginger redirected her attention to researching what would be called SARS - CoV-2 . She soon recognized the significance of an obscure reference to a paper published in 2015 in Nature Medicine. It was titled, “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses shows potential for human emergence.” It documented that the U.S. had been collaborating with Chinese researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in gain-of-function research—making lethal viruses very similar to SARS-CoV-2. With her husband, they set aside their normal lives and began work on the pandemic, digging deep into the tragedy of the world's response to COVID-19. Along with her husband Peter, Ginger is a member of several COVID-19 medical and science groups, including the international Doctors for Covid Ethics (D4CE) and the U.S.-based C19 Group which focuses upon early treatments for COVID-19, ongoing research, and the effects of government policies. Ginger is the coauthor of several books with Peter, including their bestseller Talking Back to Prozac (1994) and The War Against Children of Color: Psychiatry Targets Inner City Youth (1998). She is a coeditor of Dimensions of Empathic Therapy. Ginger designed and published Peter's book, Wow, I'm an American: How to Live Like Our Nation's Heroic Founders. She edited and published The Conscience of Psychiatry: The Reform Work of Peter R. Breggin, MD. She has researched, edited, and coauthored many blogs with him on the issues in Covid-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Prey. Ginger inspired and cofounded with her husband the peer-reviewed scientific journal Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, which she managed for many years. As a freshman undergraduate at American University, she was given an annual honors award for the best social sciences paper for all levels of the university. She is also an award-winning photographer. From 1988-2002, she was the Executive Director of Peter's original nonprofit reform center, the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP). In 2010, she cofounded a new reform nonprofit organization with her husband called The Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy, for which she is the executive director. She also works with her husband on his websites and produces his videos and his radio/TV show, The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour.

Richard Sharpe is a Latin Tutor at the Lyceum Institute. An American and cradle Catholic, his undergraduate and graduate studies in philosophy brought him to a study of the phenomenology of the human person, especially the nature of humour and its role in our lives. He's also had an on and off addiction to performing at open mic comedy nights. Jeremy McLellan is an American stand-up comedian and Catholic convert. He was recently awarded a Teaching Fellowship at Word on Fire Ministries and was named a “New Face of Comedy” at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Before the pandemic Jeremy completed sold-out tours in the US, Canada, UK, and Pakistan.

Access the full blog post here. Let’s face it, not every topic or subject is something intrinsically interesting to young learners. This is why I have a special on-air coaching episode for you with Debra Copeland and Rebekah Munoz.  Get ready to learn how you can start engaging students who aren’t interested in the content you’re presenting to them.  I wish students would love our content as much as their teachers, but it's just not gonna happen. There will always be topics that interest different students, and there will always be struggles with skills that are challenging. Writing is one of those challenges. As a former language arts teacher, I'll admit, I struggled with teaching writing. It's not easy to teach, and it's definitely not easy for our young students to master, let alone enjoy. Let's dive into this on-air coaching episode with two teachers who are always striving to improve and engage students in new ways. But first... Shoutout Ryan Read called in on the SpeakPipe line to share ways he uses sketchnoting with his students. This goes back to Episode 48 with Carrie Baughcum as we discussed creative ways to use sketchnoting in the classroom. Quick Tip of the Week:  Check out this blog post from Jake Miller about a slides timer extension. Clay Smith is an educator in New York City, and he created a Chrome extension that allows you to put a live timer on your slides! Engaging Students Who Aren't Interested in the Content For Debra Copeland and Rebekah Munoz of Rudder MS, this is especially true. Their school is primarily filled with economically disadvantaged students who speak over 30 different languages.  They are both extremely busy heading different teams within their school to help bring in and train new teachers, build leaders, coaching sports, and helping with incorporating technology. If that weren’t enough, they teach ELA in a grade that is tested for STAAR.  The Biggest Struggle  When you teach in a school with students of such varied backgrounds and languages, it’s hard to help them hone their writing schools. For Debra and Rebekah, it’s especially hard because they are teaching their students to pass the state tests.  Rebekah shares that one of her biggest struggles is helping her students understand that the first draft is not the final draft. They aren’t motivated to learn how to make their writing better in many cases, because they don’t fully understand the language, or just aren’t engaged.  We dive deep in this call to see which tactics have worked best in Rebekah's classroom. She shares that having the process displayed and represented in stages on her wall has helped her students visualize the process better.  As they finish each section, they get to move their name down the line on the wall, and this has helped motivate more of her students, but there is still work to be done. While this process is improving, she wants more of her students to engage and understand the purpose. Ways to Increase Engagement Rebekah is already doing some amazing things with her students, but Debra and I help point out ways she could revise the lessons to make them more engaging. Rather than having to rely solely on self-revisions, she could allow peers to use suggesting edits in Google Docs. In this same way, to promote reading work out loud to hear the errors, she could be using Flipgrid to allow another student to read the work out loud and give meaningful feedback.  Debra has implemented both of these strategies, and they’ve helped both the writer and reviewer to level up their writing skills.  Why Reflection is Important to the Writing Process Whether a student is reviewing and reflecting on their own writing or someone else’s, their understanding of the writing process will improve. Going forward, Rebekah plans to use bits and pieces of Debra’s process and her own to help her students better understand the writing process.  She’s going to give her students a rubric to fill out as the writer reads their work and records on Flipgrid. The reviewers will fill out the rubric, and after everything is done, they can then make comments on the work.  This will all take place after they’ve done their mini-lessons on self-revision, and this will show them everything they missed. This will further show why revisions are so important to writing. How Could These Changes be Measured?  Rebekah would likely use modeling to reveal additional ways that students could reflect on their work. She wrote her own essay for this project, and in the future, would give the students the rubric to grade her work as well.  Debra mentions that Rebekah is really good at using Screencastify. She could record the modeling lesson so that students would be able to review the lesson as often as needed, and any absent students would have access to the lesson. Another way to use Screencastify would be to use the same draft and show the revision process over time. This way, Rebekah could point out why certain words were changed and why certain sections were re-written. I also mentioned the Draftback Chrome extension could be handy for seeing the revision process come to life. It would also help her better explain what she means by expecting their first drafts to “look” messy once revisions are done. Why Publishing the Student’s Work Changes Their Perspective Because of Shake Up Learning, Rebekah has been digging into expanding the audience that sees the students’ work. She’s been using Google sites to publish the final drafts of her student’s papers, and it has changed their willingness to perfect their work. She shares a recent project that they did regarding writing an email. The students got to email another student or teacher in the district to share different subjects. One of those subjects was how the student felt they’d changed from the prior year to this year.  The things the student’s shared really touched her. Students were proud to learn how to build their sites, and sharing how much their writing had improved. What Are Their Next Steps?  Debra wants to offer more opportunities to allow students more creative ways to present their ideas. The district is moving toward using Choice Boards. She is working to make the writing more authentic and real world. Rebekah completely agrees. She is trying to teach her students how to be engaged authentically and to take away the fact that this is not for a grade but for life. She wants to build life-long learners.  About Debra Copeland 36 years teaching preschool, elementary, and middle school Teaching Fellowship for 3 years with pre-service teachers at University of Texas San Antonio Published Author in Curriculum Theory - De-Mythologizing Educational Reform (ROOT) Second year at Rudder Middle School as an Instructional Coach for ELA Debra on Twitter About Rebekah Munoz 10 years of teaching experience- ELA grades 6-7 Taught my first 5 years in South Texas- the majority of my students were ESLs/At Risk/Eco Dis from Mexico Have been at Rudder MS for 5 years- similar demographics  All my teaching experience has been at Title 1 campuses My passion is geared towards low performing and reluctant readers My goal is to motivate students to fall in love with reading and become lifelong learners I enjoy taking risks with technology and thinking outside the box with traditional lesson plans Rebekah on Twitter Podcast Question of the Week:  What strategies do you use to better engage students in the content that doesn’t interest them?   Post your answers in the Shake Up Learning community or on your favorite social platform.

KGNU's (@KGNU) Claudia Cragg (@KGNUClaudia) speaks here with Cory Albertson () is an interdisciplinary scholar whose research spans media cultures, gender and sexuality studies and social justice movements. His new book, A Perfect Union? Television and the Winning of Same-Sex Marriage (Routledge, 2018), examines network television’s representations of LGBQ relationships and their impact in shifting public attitudes in favor of same-sex marriage. On June 26, 2015, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy declared same-sex marriage "is so ordered" across the United States. The day will no doubt be remembered as a landmark shift in how U.S. society views and validates marriage and romantic relationships. But the shift would not have happened without an arguably more important, but already forgotten, shift four years earlier that saw unprecedented movement in public attitudes alongside record amounts of television representation of LGBQ relationships. Situated at this intersection of legislative, attitudinal and representational change, A Perfect Union? presents analyses of popular programmes such as Modern Family, Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Wife, Glee, Desperate Housewivesand House in order to tackle crucial ethical questions regarding the impact of heterosexual knowledges on the rendering of same-sex relationships as relatable and "respectable" – portraits of heteronormativity that reproduce the masculine/feminine binary, monogamous coupledom and the raising of children. Focusing on the connection between heteronormativity and government legitimacy, Cory Albertson deftly examines television’s privileging of certain forms of relationships over others, shedding light on the reproduction of everyday power relations within LGBQ relationships that hinge on issues of race, sexuality, class and gender. An engaging study of media constructions of same-sex relationships and the shaping of public expectations and attitudes, A Perfect Union? is a must-read for scholars of sociology, media and cultural studies and popular culture with interests in gender, sexuality and the family. Other works include Contexts [2014 and 2016], Feminist Approaches to Media Theory and Research [forthcoming, 2018], and Youth and Sexualities: Public Feelings and Contemporary Cultural Politics [forthcoming, 2018]). He engages with such subjects beyond academia to mainstream outlets as well. His work as a public scholar, essayist, and journalist has appeared in publications such as The Huffington Post, Interview, Out, Pasteand The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Albertson is the recipient of the 2014 Jacqueline Boles Excellence in Teaching Fellowship as well as the 2014 Georgia State University Certificate for Excellence in College Teaching.

Listen NowOver the past 20 years Dr. Ronald Epstein has published on the topic he terms "mindful practice."  "Mindful practice," he argues, enables physicians and other clinicians to have heightened self-awareness that allows in turn for greater attentiveness or greater presentness in caring for patients.  It is what makes good providers, he says, great.  During this 26-minute conversation Dr. Epstein discusses his recent work, Attending: Medicine, Mindfulness and Humanity, or moreover what mindfulness is, how it improves patient care and outcomes by, in part, better addressing patient suffering and how it improves as well physician or provider satisfaction.    Dr. Ronald M. Epstein is Professor of Family Medicine, Psychiatry & Oncology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and board-certified in Family Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Medicine.  He is also the Director of the Center for Communication and Disparities Research and he directs the Dean's Teaching Fellowship program to promote excellence in medical education.  Among other accomplishments, he was named the first George Engel and John Romano Dean's Teaching Scholar at the University of Rochester. National honors include the Lynn Payer Award from the American Academy on Communication in Healthcare for lifetime achievement in research on communication and health and the Humanism in Medicine Award from the New York Academy of Medicine.  Dr. Epstein has been a Fulbright scholar at the Institute for Health Studies in Barcelona, Spain and a visiting scholar at the University of Sydney.  He is a frequent keynote speaker at major national and international conferences on medical education, communication, and mindfulness in health care.  He has published over 200 research articles.  Dr. Epstein graduated from Wesleyan University and Harvard Medical School.  For information on Attending go to: http://www.ronaldepstein.com/.For a complete list of related literature go to: https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/family-medicine/mindful-practice/publications-research.aspx.

Aired Wednesday, 8 March 2017, 2:00 PM ET Attending: Medicine, Mindfulness, and Humanity with Dr. Ronald Epstein Today’s Star is Ronald Epstein, MD Join us for a groundbreaking, intimate exploration for the general public about how doctors think and what matters most—safe, effective, patient-centered, compassionate care—from the foremost expert in the field. About the Guest Dr. Ronald Epstein Dr. Ronald Epstein is a Professor of Family Medicine, Psychiatry, and Oncology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, where he directs Mindful Practice programs, the Center for Communication and Disparities Research, and the Dean’s Teaching Fellowship program. His landmark article, “Mindful Practice,” published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1999, has revolutionized physicians’ view of their work, and his writings are required at over a third of medical schools in the US. Dr. Epstein has been named one of America’s Best Doctors every year since 1998 by US News and World Report. He is the author of Attending: Medicine, Mindfulness, and Humanity. For more information visit his website at http://www.ronaldepstein.com, and connect with him on Facebook and Twitter.

ATTENDING is a groundbreaking, intimate exploration of how doctors approach real-world medical cases and patients—and the difference that conscientiousness can make on patient outcomes—from the foremost expert in the field. ATTENDING is the first book for the general public about mindfulness in medical practice and richly illustrated with real-life stories of patients and doctors, As a third-year Harvard Medical student, Epstein watched an experienced surgeon fail to notice his 18-year-old patient’s kidney turning an ominous shade of blue during surgery. In that same rotation, Epstein was awestruck by another surgeon’s ability to slow down and shift from autopilot to deliberate precision during a complicated procedure. The difference between these two doctors left a lasting impression on Epstein and set the stage for his life’s work—to identify the qualities and habits that distinguish masterful doctors from those who are merely competent. The secret, he learned, was mindfulness. When doctors approach care mindfully, they are open to possibility: less likely to let diagnoses define their patients, and more likely to consider alternate perspectives and avoid fatal mistakes. They are more likely to practice with compassion—attending to their patients’ needs and emotions—and self-compassion—attending to their own emotions to avoid burning out. Approaching medicine—and all work—mindfully both requires and builds grit and resilience. In today’s commodified healthcare system, with physician burnout at an all-time high, Epstein’s ATTENDING offers a model for doctors, patients, and their families to approach medical decisions thoughtfully and collaborate to achieve the best that medical care can offer. Ronald Epstein is a Professor of Family Medicine, Psychiatry, and Oncology at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, where he directs Mindful Practice programs, the Center for Communication and Disparities Research, and the Dean’s Teaching Fellowship program. His landmark article, “Mindful Practice,” published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1999, has been widely cited and is required reading at over 1/3 of medical schools in the USA. His current research is supported by $7 million in grants from the NIH. He is a two-time Fulbright scholar, has over 250 publications, and has given over 300 presentations at over 100 medical schools, health systems and conferences throughout the world. Epstein has been named one of America’s Best Doctors since 1998 by US News and World Report and has received distinguished service and humanism awards from the University of Rochester, New York State Academy of Medicine, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
