For both Judy Richardson and David Goodman, 1964 was a pivotal year. That year, Judy moved to Mississippi to help organize “Freedom Summer,” the famous drive to register Black voters in the heart of the Jim Crow South—work that led her to a career as a civil rights-focused activist, filmmaker, and educator. Meanwhile, 1964 touched David’s life in a more tragic way: during a trip to Mississippi, his brother Andrew and two fellow civil rights activists were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. David has spent much of the intervening decades working to honor his brother’s memory and fulfill American democracy’s promise through the Andrew Goodman Foundation. In this conversation, moderated by Janet Dewart Bell, Judy and David talk about their experiences, their decades of activist work since, and the lessons that today’s activists can draw on. As the U.S. grapples with the outcome of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election and what this will mean for civil rights and democracy, this conversation offers hard-won wisdom—and reasons for hope.

Black women have long stood at the crossroads of democracy and liberation. Their voices, advocacy, and resilience have driven progress toward equity and justice, yet the full acknowledgment of their contributions remains elusive. In this wide-ranging conversation, three formidable leaders—Judge Ashleigh Parker, Judge Faye R. Chess, and Cassandra Stokes—come together to share their experiences and wisdom in a conversation moderated by Stephanie Helms Pickett, Antioch’s Vice Chancellor for Equity, Belonging, and Culture. They discuss the challenges and rewards of fighting for our democracy despite facing stereotypes, patriarchy, misogyny, and misogynoir.

As we face this century’s challenges—from climate change to democratic backsliding to multinational cooperation—we need new models of leadership. That’s what Antioch alum, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, and President of Timor-Leste José Ramos-Horta says. And he should know. He was one of the leaders of Timor-Leste’s long effort to win freedom from colonization and the right to democratically elect its own government. In this wide-ranging conversation with Abigail Abrash Walton, the Chair of Antioch’s Department of Environmental Studies, Ramos-Horta discusses his country’s still-fragile democracy, the vulnerability of island nations in a time of climate change, the activist tactics he and his countrymen used to gain their freedom, and the need for a new generation of leaders on the world stage.

Diane shares her background, her focus on diversity and social justice in healthcare education, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted existing inequalities. The conversation also touches on Diane’s personal journey towards understanding health inequities and her goals for the new school in fostering graduates who can create positive change in the healthcare system.
Diane White has the hard but exciting job of creating a new school at Antioch: the Graduate School of Nursing and Health Professions, of which she is the founding Dean. In this conversation, Diane discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on health inequities but didnt lead to meaningful reforms, the experiences she’s had as a nurse and professor that led her to care about health justice, the unique circumstances around the formation of this new school as part of the Coalition for the Common Good, and the ways Antioch is deliberately working to ensure its students learn to see and resist the inequities endemic in our healthcare system.

Jen Sturge was working as a librarian supervisor when, “in about 2021, 2022,” she explains, “the nature of my work changed—and it wasn't for the better.” Organized parent groups started challenging books and getting them banned from the library. In today’s conversation with Jen Sturge and her colleague Christie Kaaland, we discuss how these book challenges take up time, resources, and enthusiasm, distracting from the vital work that school librarians do to support learning, media literacy, love of reading, and healthy schools. Before the book banners came to town, Jen says, “I had absolutely what I considered to be the best job in the entire world.” The question is, how can we as a society build back our libraries and support librarians?

Jude Bergkamp is a true believer in the potential of psychology to transform lives and help heal society—but he doesn’t believe that this can happen without reconciling the field’s problematic foundations with a knowledge of how systems of power impact practitioners and clients. This insight guides his work directing the Doctor of Psychology program at Antioch’s Seattle Campus as well as his contributions as a member of the Competencies Taskforce of the American Psychological Association, determining what future students will study across the entire discipline. In this interview with guest host Mair Allen, Jude tackles question including, what does social justice mean, how do you become a therapist, how does your identity shape your practice, how do systems shape your identity, and what are the challenges that students face as they enter a flawed but important system. But the wide-ranging conversation also engages the challenges of working within the criminal legal system as a forensic psychologist and the question, how you stay grounded in your work when facing challenges that affect every aspect of your life?

As American public schools become increasingly diverse, tens of millions of children find themselves navigating systems that weren’t designed with their backgrounds and cultures in mind. Beyond the U.S. the problem can be even more stark—because American approaches, even when flawed, have ripple effects worldwide. Today’s guest, Syntia Santos-Dietz, says that school counselors are especially situated to make changes that better serve students around the world. In this conversation we talk about what it means for school counselors to develop cultural competence, how traveling back and forth between cultures has helped her understand the systems she works within, and her plan to bring Antioch school counseling students to work and study in her home country of Honduras.

The profession of school counseling has evolved over the last forty years to encompass not just academic and career guidance but also social-emotional support for students and the entire school. Yet too often today the core work of school counselors gets pushed to the side, displaced by demands that they fill in as substitute teachers, substitute principals, and even recess monitors. According to Taqueena Quintana, one of the founders of Antioch’s MA in School Counseling, this is foolish and does long-term harm to well-being across the school. In this interview, we talk with Taqueena about this issue as well as her experiences as a school counselor, the demographic imbalance in the profession, the evolving role of school counselors, ways parents can support them, and much more.

Innovation. Resilience. Joy. These concepts are not always top of mind when we think about the climate crisis. Is that a problem? Today’s guest, the scholar, educator, and leader Abigail Abrash Walton, says that taking action like this can be an antidote to despair. In fact, this kind of small, local action might be the only thing that will help us break our dependence on fossil fuels and build a more sustainable and just future.

The practice of mindfulness is increasingly popular, even showing up in school curricula and employee wellness programs, where it’s often presented as a tool for managing stress. But Susan Dreyer Leon says that for teachers in particular, mindfulness offers much more than just a stress reduction. In this conversation, we discuss how mindfulness can offer a valuable approach to help us be less reactive, more compassionate, and better able to serve our students.
This conversation centers mindfulness and Adult Social-Emotional Learning (Adult SEL). Don’t miss our conversation with Laura Thomas about Social-Emotional Learning for students, “S3E9: To Grow Emotional Literacy, a Classroom Must Become a Community.”

In this special Big Idea episode, our editor Johanna Case revisits three of our favorite Seed Field Podcast interviews about creative writing and pulls out advice and wisdom that’s useful not just for writer but for anyone making art and making a life as an artist. From MFA Chair Lisa Locascio Nighthawk’s reflections on writing from a place of emotional truth to Colette Freedman’s advice for writers choosing what to write about and Alistair McCartney’s explanation of the power of defamiliarization, this episode explores some of the most potent ideas from our full interviews with each of these writers. And each writer starts to answer to the question of whether creative writing can change the world for the better.
Lisa Locascio Nighthawk appeared on “S5 E9: Creative Writing Offers a Chance to Take Yourself Seriously.”
Colette Freedman appeared on “S4E8: Writing for Film and Stage Requires Collaboration—and Sometimes Just Doing It Yourself”

As extremist school boards ban thousands of books, Republican governors restrict what subjects can be taught, and red-state legislatures seek to make English the only language allowed in public classrooms, questions of how literacy is defined and taught have only become more contested over the last two years. That’s why today we’re re-releasing this conversation with literacy scholar Heather Cheney. Everyone who cares about the education of future generations should know about the unequal ways that different kinds of literacy are accorded power in our society—and what we can do to change that.

Universities across the country are offering more and more classes outside of degree programs. These include job training programs for employers, continuing education credits required to keep certifications, and more creative classes that serve a personal interest. But why should universities be the place where we go to be life-long learners? And how do universities need to change to embrace this opportunity? In this interview with Terry Ratcliff, the Dean of Antioch’s School of Distance and Extended Education, we answer these questions and more.

The School of Distance and Extended Education that Terry has been talking about offers classes, certificates, and badges in lots of different areas, and you can visit its website at continuinged.antioch.edu. We’ll add that link in our shownotes.

There’s a quiet epidemic wiping out school librarian positions across the U.S. Between 2015 and 2019, the number of librarians declined by 20%, and one in five school librarian positions was eliminated entirely. But why is nobody noticing? According to researcher and Antioch faculty Deb Kachel, it might be because there hasn’t been a nationwide data set showing the staggering numbers—until now. In this conversation, we talk with Kachel about the SLIDE project, the way marginalized communities are hit hardest by the loss of school librarians, and how communities can fight back.

For those of us who have been shut out of higher education in the past, the path back to being a successful student is full of obstacles. The right support can make this a little easier, though. In this episode, we explore this question with Russell Thornhill and Kathryn Pope, the Co-Directors of the BRIDGE program on Antioch’s Los Angeles campus—a financially free program that has helped over 700 students gain experience and credit studying at the college level. We try to answer how best to support each other as we advance in knowledge and power.

This conversation pairs well with our last episode, an interview with Ingrid Ingerson about the Clemente Course and educational trauma.
