Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 127: The Power of Silence with Olga Lehmann, PhD
Q: What was the most surprising finding from your work on silence?
The most surprising finding is how much social justice and whistleblowing research reveal the painful, systematic silencing people endure, even in societies celebrated for democracy. This highlighted how silence operates within power structures and the ongoing need to build supportive environments that encourage speaking up.
Episode 127: The Power of Silence with Olga Lehmann, PhD
Q: What is your own relationship with silence and why did you choose to focus on it in your research?
My relationship with silence emerged from personal and cultural threads across Europe and Latin America, where different forms of silence reflect introversion, social dynamics, and spiritual or existential inquiry. I became drawn to silence because it is not a simple absence but a living, constructive process that reveals how we relate to ourselves, others, and our values.
Episode 121: Emotions and Choice in the Creative Process with Zorana Ivcevic Pringle, PhD
Q: How does your research help people navigate decision-making in their creative work?
She explains a multi-level approach: recognizing the emotional content of creative work, understanding that emotions serve as information about blockages or opportunities, and learning to regulate and leverage those emotions to sustain effort and select promising ideas, rather than relying on a simple link between mood and idea quantity.
Episode 119: Jazz Lessons from Musical Mathematician Lawrence Udeigwe
Q: What advice do you have for someone pursuing multiple passions without choosing one over the other?
Be the template and embrace dual paths; pursue both or all interests, manage time with a to-do list, and understand that some projects may require pulling back and reworking rather than rushing to completion.
Episode 119: Jazz Lessons from Musical Mathematician Lawrence Udeigwe
Q: How do you bridge mathematics and music in your teaching and in your creative work?
Mathematics provides a structural language for cognition and learning, and music offers a practical, expressive context; together they show students that disciplines can inform each other and that life can be self-organizing.
