  • The future is now.

    This is a podcast is not about the future of higher education, it is about defending the status quo that benefit mostly white men.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kate McDowell, "Critical Data Storytelling for Libraries: Crafting Ethical Narratives for Advocacy and Impact" (ALA, 2025)
Q: Can you share some examples of some of the dynamics that impact how audiences receive a story and how we should keep those in mind when we're crafting narratives with our data?
Understanding your audience involves knowing their knowledge level, demographics, and attitudes towards your topic, which can guide the narrative you create.
Kate McDowell, "Critical Data Storytelling for Libraries: Crafting Ethical Narratives for Advocacy and Impact" (ALA, 2025)
Q: Can you break down for listeners what the elements of Critical Data Storytelling are and what it is about this work that makes it political?
Critical Data Storytelling is about understanding the power dynamics involved in who gets to tell the story with data and making sure that storytelling goes beyond just presenting data as an asset but also addresses how it impacts communities.
Matthew D. Nelsen, "The Color of Civics: Civic Education for a Multiracial Democracy" (Oxford UP, 2023)
Q: What is the reimagining? How can political scientists, school teachers, and education researchers consider what we're doing in terms of reimagining?
We need to reconsider the outcomes we care about in civic education, measuring not only trust and voting intention but also broader political engagement and empowerment, especially for marginalized youth.
Matthew D. Nelsen, "The Color of Civics: Civic Education for a Multiracial Democracy" (Oxford UP, 2023)
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how we position and understand civic education happening in American schools?
The existing research often overlooks course content in civic education, focusing more on the overall civic culture of schools—and we find that schools with open climates and opportunities for political discussion foster greater political knowledge and participation.
Tim Beasley-Murray, "Critical Games: On Play and Seriousness in Academia, Literature and Life" (Manchester UP, 2025)
Q: What are some of the examples from Emmanuel Carrère's work where this boundary of seriousness and play gets problematically blurred?
Carrère often uses techniques of fiction to intervene into the lives of real people, leading to ethically problematic situations, such as expressing excitement about a murder he reported on because it provided him with a story.
