    • Hector Garcia Encourages His Students To Silence Their Phones And Listen To Vinyl

      Hector Garcia Encourages His Students To Silence Their Phones And Listen To Vinyl
      Nov 4 2024
      Put down your phone. Pick up a real book, and give yourself time to think deeply. That's the message of this episode's guest, my Amherst College classmate Hector Garcia. Don't mistake his perspective for a desperate clinging to a fading past, though. This guy loves to teach young minds at Loyola University Chicago, and he never stops innovating through course design. Along the way, he reminds his students - and us - that there's a great big world to explore. We can't engage it meaningfully if we subject ourselves to always-on digital stimuli. In this episode, you'll learn: The patterns Hector sees in the last 60 years of social unrest, including protest at Amherst College in the early 1990s How he innovates through course design and instruction The balance he strikes in the classroom and beyond between the timeless and the contemporary His unlikely journey from Chicago to Amherst The Amherst classmates Hector would like to hear from next So take a break from non-stop election coverage, pop in a cassette, or better yet, catch up with Hector in this episode. He'll make you feel better about the world.

    • Susan Antebi Studies The Legacy Of Eugenics in Modern Mexico

      Susan Antebi Studies The Legacy Of Eugenics in Modern Mexico
      Sep 20 2024
      Susan Antebi has built a career based on both the depth and breadth of her fascinating interests. In recording this episode, she taught me so much about things I had never considered. Susan is Professor of Latin American literature at the University of Toronto. Much of her award-winning writing and research focuses on ways the disabled or abnormal are depicted in Mexican culture. She traces some of these depictions to the eugenics movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I know a bit about eugenics and its awful place in US and German history, but I didn't know anything about its presence in Mexico. In this episode, you'll learn: The origin of Susan's passion for cultures and languages The ways in which the eugenics movement shows up today in Mexican culture How some reality TV programming can be seen as the modern day manifestation of the carnival freak show Why she's researching depictions of the paranormal The Amherst classmates she'd like me to interview next To get in touch with Susan, email her at susan.antebi@utoronto.ca or contact her on Facebook.
