There are significant challenges in education that have been ignored for too long, and AI is forcing us to confront them urgently; otherwise, AI will think for us, rather than with us. The need to learn how to learn has been increasingly important, but it has rarely been fully integrated into the education system. My guest in this episode is a doctoral student researching how to teach critical thinking with the aid of AI. She is sounding the alarm on the importance of teaching this skill with AI, otherwise, she thinks that AI will not only think for us, but it will not allow us to think at all. Trini Balart is a Ph.D. candidate in the Multidisciplinary Engineering Department at Texas A&M University, originally from Chile. She holds a background in Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, and a major in Engineering, Design, and Innovation from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Her research focuses on engineering education and the impact of generative artificial intelligence on how we teach, learn, and think. She is especially interested in how these tools are shaping the development of critical thinking in engineering students and prompting us to rethink the true purpose of education and what we understand by learning itself. Passionate about human-centred development, innovation, and progress, Trini is committed to building a future where AI empowers, rather than replaces, our uniquely human capabilities. She envisions a future where these tools may even help us reach deeper levels of knowledge and societal development. LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trinidad-balart-386213223/

Send us a textCindy-Ann Boisson | Comedy, Honesty & Owning the Trini AccentThis week on The Corie Sheppard Podcast, comedian Cindy-Ann Boisson joins me for a hilarious and powerful conversation about the craft of stand-up, surviving the grind, and staying authentic. We talk about her upcoming comedy competition Punched Up, why repeating jokes is part of the art form, and the balance between silence and punchlines.Cindy-Ann shares raw stories—from almost being assaulted in Florida and escaping by diving out of a moving car, to navigating U.S. comedy clubs with her unapologetic Trini accent. We get into what makes Caribbean audiences unique, why she insists on “no intermission” shows, and her Red Woman Tour that's taking Caribbean stand-up to stages across North America.This episode blends sharp humour with deep honesty about tragedy, time, gender bias in comedy, and the challenge of creating space for Caribbean women on international stages.Click the link in my bio for the full episode.#coriesheppardpodcast #cindyannboisson #standupcomedy #trinicomedy #culture0:00 Welcome and Introduction to Cindy-Ann15:25 Punched Up: Creating a Stand-Up Comedy Competition30:12 The Art of Working Out Jokes and Stage Presence45:20 Embracing Cultural Identity in Comedy1:02:35 From Tragedy to Comedy: Personal Storytelling1:19:18 Comedy Career Beginnings and Development1:30:56 Gender Barriers in Comedy1:38:27 Comedy Inspirations and Mount Rushmore

En pleno éxito, pero atadas a fuertes compromisos familiares, las Hermanas Márquez tuvieron que dejar atrás La Habana para trasladarse a Nueva York en 1951. En la inmensa ciudad no consiguieron igualar ni las simpatías ni la calidez que les brindó el público cubano, rendido ante la gracia criolla de Nerza, Trini y Cusa. Aquellos aplausos recibidos en el estudio teatro de CMQ Radio Centro, entre 1949 y 1950, durante las emisiones en directo de espacios como el "Gran Show de la Mañana", quedaron como recuerdo de un tiempo maravilloso que, desafortunadamente, no volvió a repetirse. Al maestro Paquito de Rivera y al productor español José Luis Rúperez habrá que agradecerles infinitamente que, cincuenta años después, al menos Nerza y Trini lograran hacer realidad el sueño de regresar a los escenarios. El 5 de mayo de 2004 en el Auditorio de Tenerife, Islas Canarias, se hizo la magia de la música popular cubana. Y la formidable máquina del tiempo que es la buena memoria nos permite regresar a los años 30 del siglo XX para recordar el arte de Don Rogelio Martínez. Cantante y guía del conjunto "Sonora Matancera" (agrupación fundada en Matanzas en 1924) celebraremos su paso por los escenarios y, muy especialmente, su labor como director del que resultó ser uno de las conjuntos soneros más longevos nuestros. Nacido en Matanzas el 7 de septiembre de 1905, asumió la dirección de "la Matancera" en 1945, según lo declarase él mismo al periodista Andrés Castillo en la publicación "Cuba Musical", sustituyendo al fundador Valentín Cané por enfermedad. Guitarrista y coro junto a Caito Alonso, Rogelio Martínez completó la delantera vocal de la "Sonora Matancera" junto a Bienvenido Granda, Celio González, Laíto Sureda y los numerosos invitados del importante conjunto que debutó en 1929 en la radio habanera en los estudios del "Progreso Cubano". Rogelio Martínez enfocó su visión comercial en la capacidad del conjunto como acompañante de numerosas figuras nacionales y extranjeras, fórmula que resultó ser exitosa a raíz de las grabaciones propiciadas por Ramón Sabat y su etiqueta Panart, junto al cantante boricua Daniel Santos, en 1947. Con el auge de la radio en la isla se le vio cantando, indistintamente, en orquestas danzoneras de importancia, entre ellas las de Félix González y Belisario López. La decisión más difícil de su vida, en lo personal y como director, fue elegir el camino del exilio el 15 de julio de 1960. Desde entonces se mantuvo al frente de la Sonora Matancera. Rogelio Martínez falleció en Nueva York el 13 de mayo del 2001. Carlos Miyares, saxofonista, arreglista y compositor vuelve a compartir con nosotros algo más de su formidable álbum: Homenaje a "Chucho Valdés e Irakere". Y a propósito del jazz nos despedimos con una de sus figuras imprescindibles de los últimos cincuenta años: Bobby Carcasses, un show man en toda regla, desde el veterano "Club de Jazz cubano" hasta los clásicos"Jazz Plaza", ha sido presencia habitual en los eventos más importantes vinculados a la promoción del jazz en la Isla. Artista multifacético además de cantante, instrumentista y compositor, ha incursionado en el campo de las artes plásticas. El pasado 29 de agosto el Bobby celebró sus 87 años, buena oportunidad para destacar su fructífero legado repasando algunos cortes de sus álbumes "De la Habana a Nueva York" del año 2010 y "Jazz timbero" de 1998.

Send us a textCelebrating the Life of Lord Funny – Calypso's Master of WitIn this heartfelt and laughter-filled episode, Corie pays tribute to the late great Lord Funny, one of Trinidad and Tobago's most beloved calypsonians. From his razor-sharp social commentary to his unforgettable humour, Funny's music could both break the tension in a heated calypso tent and shine a light on the nation's biggest issues. Corie revisits classics like Farmer Brong, Sweet Sweet Trinidad, and Bamsie, weaving in reflections on the role of comedic calypso in national life.Alongside the celebration, Corie also dives into recent current affairs, the importance of learning from different voices (including controversial ones), and why listening for what's useful in someone's story can unlock personal growth. From funny's lyrical brilliance to the lessons learned from recent podcast guests, this episode is a mix of cultural memory, social insight, and classic Trini humour.

Lecture 6 Part 2LECTURE OUTLINE: Reimagining the Caribbean — History, Identity & Invention1. Defining Key Terms & Unsettling MythsWhat is the Caribbean?What it is not:Not simply “a group of islands surrounded by the Caribbean Sea.”That colonial compass would erase Belize, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.The Caribbean is not just geography — it's history, identity, and ideology.A Construct, An Invention:Ian Meeks and Norman Girvan argue the Caribbean is an invention, molded by the European gaze since 1492.The so-called “discovery” was really colonial construction — cultural erasure dressed as exploration.The Socio-Political Caribbean:Social scientists ask: In whose interest is society designed?Whose narrative dominates?Often, the Caribbean's story has been told through the lens of its colonizers — not its people.Economic Caribbean – A Dependent Capitalist Model:According to Neoliberalism (2021) and the "Washington Consensus", Caribbean economies were shaped to serve external interests.Ramesh Ramsaran: Structural Adjustment transferred power from local to global hands — a feature of life in the Global South.These are the legacies of debt, austerity, and manufactured dependency.Global South vs Global North:New language, same old hierarchies.The “Global South” replaces “Third World” — a more palatable term, but still denotes marginalization.2. A People in Paradox: Race, Identity & AgencyThe Problem of the Caribbean is the Problem of the Black and Brown PositionWherever Black or Brown bodies are found — so too is systemic exclusion.Not due to essence, but to constructed inferiority.Colonization as Psychological Violence:Fanon: Colonization turns man against himself.Du Bois: The Black soul peers through a veil, always asking: “Am I enough?”Morrison: We are told to strive toward whiteness — only to find we can never truly arrive.Depersonalization & Loss of Agency:Colonialism stripped humanity. The enslaved weren't just shackled in body — but in being.This leads to malady: acting against our own interests.Afrocentricity vs Eurocentricity:Afrocentricity: a way of seeing.Eurocentricity: the only way of seeing.The former offers liberation. The latter demands assimilation.Diaspora Realities:Caribbean immigrants are often seen as threats cloaked in exoticism — "two sharp teeth," as you wrote.Their potential is feared, their labor exploited.Kenneth Clark's “Dark Ghettoes”:Ghettoes aren't just places — they are conditions.Whether in Philly or Kingston, Harlem or Port of Spain, these spaces reflect economic colonization.Externally: Poor housing, crime, disease.Internally: Apathy, self-loathing, compensatory bravado.3. Postcolonialism – Not the End, But the EchoPostcolonial ≠ Post-ColonizationFanon in Black Skin, White Masks: Black and White locked in a tragic performance — each role scripted by Empire.In Wretched of the Earth: Freedom is radical; it requires rupture, not reform.The Paradox of Independence:Haiti and Cuba led revolutions — and were punished for their audacity.Independence does not equal inclusion.4. Center vs Periphery — Who Gets to Speak?Homi Bhabha's Lens:The center is the mainstream — the dominant culture, the "norm."The periphery is where African spirituality, literature, and lifeways have been cast.In the Caribbean, this leads to self-scorn: bleaching skin, abandoning roots, ridiculing Revivalists or Rastafari.5. Supplementary Content for Today's SessionReading & Discussion: CLR James – The Black JacobinsCLR James (a Trini) told the story of Haitian revolutionaries, but through a European framework.His education gave him tools, but not always the right lens.We question: Was this truly “history from below?”By Rev.

Alicia Aberdeen-Jones is a multifaceted artist and entrepreneur, renowned as the founder and co-owner of Alicia Aberdeen Art, LLC, a creative venture she established with her husband, Jonathan, combining their professional expertise in finance, accounting, and contract management. While her corporate background ensures her shrewdness in business, Alicia is the creative engine of the company—an accomplished artist and an inspiring educator. Born in Trinidad, Alicia moved to New York City in 2002, leaving behind a corporate career to pursue her artistic passions in 2009. Starting with an internship at The Brownstone in Harlem, she began to immerse herself in the art world, honing her business acumen while nurturing her creative talents. Alicia later worked at a Cisco Partner, where she served in management for five years, all while continuing her artistic journey. Her first public exhibit took place in 2005 at the Trinidad and Tobago Consulate in New York City, where she was the sole female artist featured among six Caribbean creatives. The positive reception of her work led to numerous commissions, including her first major piece, "De Dance," a three-panel artwork inspired by Ernie Barnes' "Sugar Shack," tailored specifically to a client's vision. Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones' artistic style is immensely versatile, embracing various media—from 2D animation and special effects to painting and mixed media. She stands out not only as an artist but also as an experimental storyteller, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of expression, which even extends to voice acting. Over the years, Alicia has enjoyed several exhibitions, including her powerful portrait, "Nina Speaks," which honors the legendary Nina Simone. This 24-carat gold-fused piece was featured in "The Nina Simone Experience" in Atlanta and caught the attention of Simone's daughter, Lisa ‘Simone' Kelly, earning her the YGB [Young Black and Gifted] Award. A devoted mother, Mrs. Aberdeen-Jones welcomed her daughter, Zoe, in 2011, shortly after earning her Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts and Animation. She began teaching art at a Catholic school and continued to build her portfolio, frequently showcasing her work across galleries and events in New York. Notable moments in her career include being a featured artist at the Van de Plas Gallery in 2018 and hosting various paint nights throughout the year. Her first solo show, "Paintings In The Garden," debuted in September 2019 and celebrated its successful sixth installment in December 2024, garnering a Proclamation from NY Senator Kevin S. Parker, Chairman of Committee on Energy and Telecommunications, in recognition of her contributions. Her passion lies in helping seniors and homeless people, and to that her advocacy is for the following organizations: Coalition For The Homeless-NYC + Serenity Empowerment Rehab Center for Women in Trinidad.
