Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Heart-Centered Connections: Seven Essential Skills for Helping Neurodiverse and Marginalized Children Thrive

Q: What is the science behind safety and the role of the vagus nerve in learning, and how do educators apply this in real classrooms?

The science shows that a settled nervous system enables access to higher cognitive functions. By fostering higher vagal tone through breath work, co-regulation, movement, and sensory adjustments, teachers can reduce dysregulation and support engaged learning, especially for neurodiverse students and those impacted by trauma.

David I. Waddington, "The Hidden Curriculum of Video Games" (McGill-Queen's UP, 2026)

Q: What do you argue is the actual danger of video games and why has focus on violence been persistent yet misplaced?

The danger lies in the experiential framework games cultivate—speed, efficiency, and an instrumental view of the world as a resource—habits that can shape thinking and social perception beyond violence, with the persistent focus on violence stemming from misapprehensions about how players experience in-game violence and from translating television-violence research frames to games.

Stephen G. Covell, "The Teaching and Teachings of Temple Buddhism in Contemporary Japan" (U Hawaii Press, 2024)

Q: What motivated the writing of this book and how did the focus on teaching shapes the research?

The author describes a long, evolving interest sparked by early observations of Buddhist kindergartens and boca on the ground realities of teaching, which led to a methodological emphasis on what is actually being taught across educational levels, rather than abstract doctrinal debates.

Andy Byford, "Science of the Child in Late Imperial and Early Soviet Russia" (Oxford UP, 2020)

Q: What happened to pedology during the Stalin era, and how did de-Stalinization affect its legacy?

Pedology was officially viewed as a problematic 'anti-Soviet' science after the 1931 purge, leading to its decapitation and reconfiguration as a narrow set of practices within education and care. De-Stalinization later allowed a reevaluation, but pedology was remembered and retold in limited, tightly controlled terms, with the field often cast as a victim of repression rather than a coherent discipline.

Becoming the System

Q: Can you explain the No Child Left Behind era and how it affected bilingual education and language classification?

No Child Left Behind restructured federal policy, eliminated the Bilingual Education Act, rebranded it under Title III/IV, and entrenched a broad, persistent label of English learners, which paradoxically expanded home-language screening while limiting actual bilingual support and perpetuating remediation across schools.
