Mushrooms for Enlightenment or Why Buddhism is Like Shrek: A Conversation about Teaching with Sangseraima Ujeed Episode 22 Recorded: June, 21 2022 Duration: 56:02 Description In this conversation with Sangseraima Ujeed, Assistant Professor of Tibetan Buddhism at the University of Michigan, she talks about teaching in a Public University as a practising Buddhist, the draw to teach and grow students in the knowledge of her native Mongolian language, and how she carefully works through primary texts with her students. An avid forager she hopes to build courses that bring students out into nature and sees the potential of Buddhist theories and concepts to build resilience, tolerance and alternative worldviews in her students. Memorable Quotes "What I really care about in my teaching, and I try to bring in as much as I can, is getting the students to engage with primary sources…we try to read about three or four texts from beginning to end. "The style of writing is so alien to them. This is a fourth century text that writes in a specific way. It's a commentarial literature genre which has its own thing. But at the end of it, they were like, we just read this thing from this period! And they felt proud. "37 Practices of a Bodhisattva is 37 verses, about 37 practices. That part was really valuable because as we started reading the 37 Practices, the war in Ukraine broke out. So taking little chunks of it and conceptualizing the suffering of other beings and the inability to really actually do something, but to have to think about situations like that when they arise, we could really bring in real life situations. "As a devoted forager, I would love to be able to take the students out into nature in the fall when species are abundant and just talk about the interconnectedness of an ecosystem whilst we go and forage and learn about the ecosystem or the forest and try to put that parallel to interconnectedness, what that looks like from the Buddhist position. In there with fungi, decomposition and the ecosystem, there's a lot to be said also about rebirth.

  We often hear that we should be “authentic.”  But how do you do that when you know you'll be attacked when you're the victim or you have to keep your job to pay the bills despite toxic leadership? After being attacked at the park for simply being me: Asian and woman, I felt firsthand how victims are repeatedly shut down.  Victims are met with attacks, interrogations, and minimization. I found my conversation with Jill Wesley healing.  In this episode, we discuss: - What it's like to be the only Black woman or person of color in the room. - What is code switching and why we do it. - How you can find your authentic voice even when the world is demanding silence and conformity. - When and how to speak up, especially when having difficult conversations. - What to do you if you know that speaking up is unsafe, and how to protect yourself.  - Jill's 5-step framework and be prepared to make your voice heard.

First up in our STEAM exploration series is SCIENCE! Throughout the season we'll be investigating our way through each of the STEAM concepts. Specifically focusing on the positive ripple effect that happens when we actively engage with our children's early STEAM learning. Dr. Ashie Bhandiwad is the founder and CEO of an experiential science education startup called STEMChef. The philosophy behind STEMChef is influenced by her own childhood science education, subsequent career in bioenergy, and especially through moments shared with her young daughter while preparing dinner. Start pointing out and initiating science-based conversations during your family time together. Kids will start making connections between the concepts they're learning in school and situations they come across every day. Developing that emotional connection results in stronger retention and deeper understanding throughout the rest of their education and even into their careers. At the end of the episode Dr. Bhandiwad guides us through a really delicious activity you and your family can try (and then snack on!) together. KidsQuest is powered by STEAM learning! Check out our YouTube channel for more science-based activities to do with your family: https://www.youtube.com/user/KidsQuestCM If you'd like to explore the awesome online escape room experiences STEMChef has to offer, you can visit their website here: https://www.stemchef.com For more information watch Dr. Bhandiwad's TEDxSanFrancisco presentation, “Teaching Science Through Cooking to Kids”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G3Ml2MRu5Y
