  • Peacebuilding Through Nonviolence: Lessons from The Search for a Nonviolent Future

    Peacebuilding Through Nonviolence: Lessons from The Search for a Nonviolent Future
    Feb 19 2026
    Dr. Michael Nagler, Professor Emeritus of Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley, and a pioneer in the academic study of peacebuilding, shares key insights from his acclaimed book, The Search for a Nonviolent Future. Prof. Nagler argues that modern violence is reinforced by mass media narratives that portray people as separate and competitive, yet he sees society approaching a “nonviolent moment” in which audiences are asking what comes after protest and how to build constructive change. He clarifies that nonviolence is not passivity but a form of power, drawing on examples from behavioral science and on research suggesting nonviolent movements are more effective and faster than violent ones, while also creating long-term social shifts even when they seem to fail in the short run. The discussion highlights constructive programs (with education as a modern equivalent), restorative justice as a relationship-repair approach, and unarmed civilian peacekeeping as an effective on-ground practice, alongside the importance of inner training such as passage meditation to sustain courage and goodwill under pressure. Prof. Nagler also reflects on Gandhi’s principle that means and ends are inseparable, addresses rare high-stakes scenarios through the “escalation curve” idea (act early to preserve nonviolent options), and closes with practical takeaways urging listeners to replace reactive habits with intentional responses and to build constructive alternatives in daily and civic life.

  • Synthetic Data Explained: Useful, Transparent, or Risky? | Dr. Ericka Johnson

    Synthetic Data Explained: Useful, Transparent, or Risky? | Dr. Ericka Johnson
    Feb 16 2026
    Dr. Ericka Johnson, Deputy Head of Department and Professor of Gender and Society at Linköping University, Sweden, joins us to discuss her fascinating research, “Useful and Transparent Synthetic Data?” Synthetic tabular data is machine-generated, spreadsheet-like data that learns the statistical patterns in a real dataset and then creates new rows that resemble it without copying actual records. It’s widely used to enable safer data sharing under legal/policy constraints, support privacy-focused collaboration, and expand small datasets for testing and machine-learning workflows while still needing to mimic, not mirror, the original data.

  • Transforming Teaching Excellence with Play-Based Learning | Liz Paushter

    Transforming Teaching Excellence with Play-Based Learning | Liz Paushter
    Feb 15 2026
    Liz Paushter, Executive Director of the Badavas Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning at Bentley University, discusses her fascinating work, “Play-Based Learning and Faculty Development: Transforming Teaching Excellence.” She explains how her play-based approach to faculty development began with a moment of honesty in a department meeting: while faculty worried that students were afraid to fail, a colleague challenged the group to ask, “How are we any different?” She then introduced a quick, constraint-based number game that immediately shifted the room faculty laughed, made mistakes openly, and even celebrated small failures, revealing how play can build psychological safety and unlock creativity in adult learners. From there, Liz connects play to learning science and adult learning theory, arguing that curiosity sits at the center of innovation and that playful, community-based experiences help educators take risks, reflect, and try new teaching practices with greater confidence.
