Today we take a moment to highlight another great program in higher education, Salve Regina University.  We were lucky enough to speak with Department Chair and Dance Program Coordinator, Lindsay Guarino, about this unique program.  Lindsay also has had a hand in changing the program and has been involved in some incredible projects.  Located in Rhode Island, this program has specialty focuses as well as flexibility.    We hope you enjoy our chat today with Lindsay Guarino.Program overview:At Salve Regina University, the bachelor's degree in dance offers a transformative education through the study of dance in a liberal arts environment.  Through the curriculum, students engage in critical dialogue, physical practice and creative production as they study dance history, theory, technique, performance, composition and pedagogy.  Students develop their artistic voices across a range of styles, including jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop and ballet.  The curriculum emphasizes jazz studies with courses designed to honor, investigate and practice jazz as a historically Black American art form best understood through awareness of one's own identity and culture.  Community is at the heart of Salve Regina's dance program with an environment that encourages and supports individuality, personal creativity, dynamic exchanges of energy, risk-taking and resilience - all enduring values within the jazz aesthetic.About Lindsay:Lindsay Guarino is a jazz dance artist, educator and scholar.  As associate professor and department chair of Music, Theatre and Dance at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI she has grown the dance program from a minor to a B.A. focused in jazz and justice.  As an educator and a leader, Lindsay prioritizes community at the heart of her practice and seeks to cultivate spaces where individuality is celebrated and recognized as vital to personal and collective growth.  Lindsay's commitment to revealing and preserving jazz dance in connection to its roots led her to co-edit Jazz Dance: A History of the Roots and Branches (University Press of Florida, 2014), and the award winning text Rooted Jazz Dance: Africanist Aesthetics and Equity in the Twenty-First Century (UPF, 2022).  Through the National Dance Education Organization, Lindsay developed and planned two special topics jazz dance conferences (2016 & 2019) and developed and taught Jazz Dance Theory and Practice for their Online Professional Development Institute.  She appears in and consulted on the documentary Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance (2020), available on HBO Max.Thank you for listening Jam Fam!

In this episode I discuss with Professor Sir Stephen O'Rahilly all things pregnancy sickness and Hyperemesis. Just a few months ago the scientific evidence was published highlighting what causes pregnancy sickness and hyperemesis. This breakthrough discovery came from the work of Prof Sir O'Rahilly, his team and the team from Dr Marlena S. Fejzo in the US.This ground breaking work gives hope to thousands of women globally who suffer terribly throughout their pregnancy with extreme nausea and sickness. I discuss what it is that causing this to happen during pregnancy. Why our human bodies could be making this hormone and what it's use would possibly be for.  And what the future holds for a cure, how Prof O'Rahilly and his team are working collaboratively with the pregnancy sickness support, a UK charity, women who have and are currently suffering from hyperemesis,  and a team of obstetric specialists to find the answer to help stop this condition. Professor Sir Stephen O'Rahilly FRS, is Co-Director of the Institute of Metabolic Science (IMS) and Director of the MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit which is part of the broader University of Cambridge Metabolic Research Laboratories which he also directs.  On the wider Cambridge Biomedical Campus, he is Scientific Director of the NIHR Biomedical Research Centre and Head of the University Department of Clinical Biochemistry.He was elected FRS in 2003, to the National Academy of Sciences, USA in 2011, has received five honorary doctorates and numerous scientific awards. In 2013 he was made Knight Bachelor & for services to medical research.His main research area is the aetiology and pathophysiology of human metabolic and endocrine disease and how such information might be used to improve the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of these diseases.LINKS: Pregnancy Sickness Support UK Dr Marlena S.

David Smith and Kevin Gary (Valparaiso University) discuss the roles of teachers and students in Christian teaching and learning and his upcoming book, Why Boredom Matters: Education and the Quest for a Meaningful Life (Cambridge University Press).

Interim Department Chair of Architecture at Kennesaw State University, Ed Akins, is in the studio for today's episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio. Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, the group discusses the innovative changes COVID-19 has brought to the classroom, the architecture curriculum and the built environment in which we live. Originally from southeast Georgia, Akins attended Georgia Tech for his undergrad and graduate degrees in architecture. While there, his role as a teaching assistant introduced him to the world of teaching and shifted his professional path in an exciting new direction. After graduating, Akins continued to teach while also working professionally with Smith Dalia Architects. In 2009, he began teaching at the then Southern Polytech University as an Associate Professor. He continued teaching through the university's merger with Kennesaw State University and was recently appointed Interim Department Chair of Architecture within the College of Architecture and Construction Management. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and the challenges it has brought to both education and architecture, Akins is excited about the problem-solving initiatives happening as a result. According to Akins, the architecture curriculum continues to be questioned in a way that keeps his students innovated and moving forward. Having leaders of the built environment and sustainability within the region has also been an incredible luxury that the students can use to their advantage. Overall, Akins is inspired by his students' resilience, patience and ability to apply design thinking to multiple realms including single-family residential, hospitals and government structures. Although COVID-19 has brought its challenges, the architecture students at KSU are truly flourishing in this new environment. It's no surprise that the pandemic has changed the way architects think about design, especially when it comes to maintaining safety and air quality. Akins continues to encourage both his students and his fellow industry professionals to embrace these changes, learn from them and use innovation to move forward. When it comes to single-family residences, Akins states that there are a lot of changes being made regarding efficiency and resiliency with the biggest call to action being home affordability. In the Atlanta region, there is a need for equity, inclusion and the awareness that everyone deserves affordable housing. If we can be inclusive in our built environments, architecture and cities, then we can begin to understand the position of others. Another innovative idea emerging in Atlanta architecture is the elimination of auto-centric designs. When a developer is looking at a property, they often have to accommodate for the auto-centric lifestyle. This includes compromising land and aesthetics in order to plan for parking decks, lots and other auto-centric elements. Today, architects are looking to take on a more transit-oriented approach by constructing buildings that encourage the use sidewalks and public transportation. Not only does this encourage more face-to-face connections within public space, but it also allows that money spent on parking to be used in different ways.

Millions of Americans experience symptoms of acid reflux or “heartburn” on a daily basis—that burning sensation in the chest that can be accompanied by a number of other unpleasant and sometimes seemingly unrelated symptoms. It's a problem many people might brush off by popping a Tums, but there's a darker side to acid reflux, which is that it can be a precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma, a type of cancer that develops in the context of Barrett's esophagus, a condition in which the epithelial cells in the esophagus are displaced by tissue that more resembles intestinal tissue. As a researcher with a background in cancer biology, Kelly Whelan, PhD, from Temple University is interested in further understanding the biology of the esophagus, how certain pathways help it to remain normal under homeostatic conditions, and what goes awry in states of disease, such as cancer and eosinophilic esophagitis, an allergic reaction to food. She's also interested in investigating the male and racial bias found in all esophageal diseases, how the type and quantity of a person's mitochondria could be related to their esophageal disease state, whether or not there are non-invasive ways to determine a patient's disease state, how to improve therapies for esophageal diseases, how the oral microbiome or even the lower GI tract microbiome could be influencing disease progression, and so much more. Tune in for all the details.

The Orthomentor trio welcomes its first of a series of distinguished guests to the podcast platform! We are honored and privileged to welcome Dr William Levine to the podcast.Dr. Levine is the the current chairman of the orthopedic residency program at Columbia, is editor-in-chief of Journal of American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (JAAOS), is the newly minted president of the American Shoulder/Elbow Surgeon Society (ASES) and is a renowned leader in orthopaedic surgery. He is avidly passionate about mentorship, especially when it comes to medical students interested in seeking a career in competitive specialties like Orthopedics.  Dr. Levine provides unparalleled and impressively candid tips and tricks in some of the areas that have eluded various programs and institutions for decades! Some of the discussed topics include:*What is meant by longitudinal mentorship? What should students prepare for a plan ahead when seeking local mentors? *What are the critical elements of developing and cultivating a sophisticated mentor/mentee engagement platform at an institutional level? *Why are many medical students applying to orthopedics feeling the pressure to apply to 80 to 90 programs each year? *What non-academic attributes does Dr. Levine look for in a medical student application? What are some differentiating factors that can separate two otherwise competitive residency applicants? 

As human activity and emissions continue to change the types of particles in the air, there is consequently a change in the particles that act as cloud precursors in our atmosphere. Some of these precursors generally create liquid clouds, or cloud droplets, and others create ice crystals, or frozen clouds. So why do these changes matter?  Liquid clouds play an important role in offsetting a lot of the warming affects caused by greenhouse gases, whereas frozen clouds actually warm the planet. In other words, the way our activities change the air subsequently changes the clouds, which in turn affects global climate. In this episode, Ryan Sullivan, Ph.D., joins us to discuss the relationship of cloud chemistry and climate change. Click play to hear more. Sullivan is an atmospheric chemist, associate professor in chemistry and in mechanical engineering, and associate director of the Institute for Green Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Keep an eye out in a month or two for his website to launch. In the meantime, you can learn more about him at https://www.meche.engineering.cmu.edu/directory/bios/sullivan-ryan.html or https://www.cmu.edu/chemistry/people/faculty/sullivan.html

If you've ever driven through thick fog in the evening, you are likely familiar with the feeling of futile attempts at improving visibility through the use of headlights. Light that should be guiding you instead diffuses across the space in front of you, thereby worsening the situation. What if you could control the way light traveled through material in a way that allowed you to see right through it?  Enter Dr. Hasan Yilmaz, postdoctoral research associate at Yale University in the Department of Applied Physics. Dr. Yilmaz and his fellow researchers are developing methods to control light scattering and have recently discovered a way to transmit light in a straight path, thereby allowing us to see through materials that we otherwise could not.  Listen in to learn more about potential applications of such methods.

This public seminar series considers teacher education reforms around the world in order to tease out future directions and possibilities for the relationships between teacher education policy, research and practice. The series marks 100 years since the passing of a statute creating what was known in 1919 as the University Department for the Training of Teachers. Join us this term as we mark the Oxford University Department of Education's 100th anniversary through this series of public events that pay particular tribute to our contributions in the field of teacher education today. Teacher competencies have been discussed relatively extensively in the literature, often linked in educational policy discourses, teacher standards, or even intended outcomes of teacher education. But what do teacher competencies actually mean, how they are related to the core of teacher's work, teacher knowledge and action, and teacher learning in teacher education. This presentation will elaborate teacher competencies by focusing on teaching as a thinking practice (cf. Lampert, 1998), and teacher knowledge, behavior, and agency. Through this, the aim is to understand the complexity of teacher competencies both theoretically and empirically. By leaning on the empirical evidence, the presentation will try to answer to the question: what kinds of characteristics of teacher education cultivate student teacher learning in becoming competent and agentic teachers? And why should we be interested in them?

Seminar two of eight in series "Future directions in teacher education research, practice and policy". This seminar is based on a recent book, which aims to help researchers and practitioners understand how and why interventions can be successful or not. Seminar Abstract: This seminar is based on a recent book, titled ‘Classroom-based Interventions Across Subject Areas', jointly authored by members of the department's Subject Pedagogy Research Group and other affiliated researchers and practitioners. Taking as its basis research which has been conducted in actual classrooms with close collaboration between researchers and practitioners, the book aims to help researchers and practitioners understand how and why interventions can be successful or not. The text further considers the broad theoretical and practical issues that derive from intervention studies, including ways of adapting effective classroom-based interventions for use in different contexts. The seminar will start with a brief introduction to the topic of classroom-based interventions, followed by four examples of classroom-based interventions in English, mathematics, science, and history. It will conclude with a commentary drawing across the presentations with a particular focus on implications for teacher education.

Seminar two of eight in series "Future directions in teacher education research, practice and policy". This seminar is based on a recent book, which aims to help researchers and practitioners understand how and why interventions can be successful or not. Seminar Abstract: This seminar is based on a recent book, titled ‘Classroom-based Interventions Across Subject Areas’, jointly authored by members of the department’s Subject Pedagogy Research Group and other affiliated researchers and practitioners. Taking as its basis research which has been conducted in actual classrooms with close collaboration between researchers and practitioners, the book aims to help researchers and practitioners understand how and why interventions can be successful or not. The text further considers the broad theoretical and practical issues that derive from intervention studies, including ways of adapting effective classroom-based interventions for use in different contexts. The seminar will start with a brief introduction to the topic of classroom-based interventions, followed by four examples of classroom-based interventions in English, mathematics, science, and history. It will conclude with a commentary drawing across the presentations with a particular focus on implications for teacher education. About the Series: This public seminar series considers teacher education reforms around the world in order to tease out future directions and possibilities for the relationships between teacher education policy, research and practice.

This week on Womanity – Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Professor Antje Schuhmann from the Political Studies Department at the University of the Witwatersrand, whose research areas encompass feminist theories, gender-based violence, postcolonial theory and memory politics amongst others.  We discuss some of the factors that contribute to gender-based violence committed against women in South Africa, which include rising levels of socio-economic disparity, men being sidelined and retaliating against women, a history of a culture of violence, legacy effects of colonialism and apartheid.  We debate the representation of women in parliament, comparing some countries in the West with countries in Africa, noting that countries with more recently formed constitutions are more contextually relevant and have greater numbers of women in their parliaments.
