Today Steve Carney joins me to talk about his new co-written book with Ulla Ambrosius Madsen entitled “Education in Radical Uncertainty: Transgression in Theory and Method.” The book offers a major critique of the field of comparative education and asks us to dwell in experience rather than make value judgements.

This is a powerful book in both form and content and demands to be read by anyone working in the field of comparative and international education. Steve Carney is a Professor of Educational Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark.

Spence, Sr. Centennial Professorship in Education at the University of Texas at Austin where Judith Landeros is a doctoral student in the Cultural Studies in Education program with a certificate in Native American and Indigenous studies.

Ritesh Shah is a senior lecturer in the faculty of education and social work at the University of Auckland and Francine Menashy is an associate professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Their new Compare Forum is entitled “Reimagining education in emergencies: a conversation between practitioners and scholars.”

Today we take stock of the 2024 election in the USA and its potential impact on education. What will a second Trump presidency mean for schools and universities? With me, is the renowned curriculum scholar, Michael W. Apple.

Michael W. Apple is the John Bascom Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I spoke with him on November 18.

In the aftermath of Trump sweeping to power, I thought it would be valuable to return to an interview I conducted with Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire in the aftermath of the 2020 election. In that conversation, we looked back at education under the first Trump presidency and looked ahead to education during the Biden administration. This will be good context to remember as we prepare for Trump 2.0. Next week I’ll return with a new interview with Michael Apple about what a second Trump presidency might mean for education over the next four years.

Today we take stock of public education in the United States after the 2020 election. With me are Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire. You may know Jack and Jennifer from their education podcast called Have You Heard, which you should definitely check out. They’ve also recently co-written the book A Wolf at the schoolhouse door: The dismantling of public education and the future of school, which traces the war on public education in America. They argue that we should be watching the changes at the state level after the recent election.

Jack Schneider is an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell and Jennifer Berkshire is a freelance journalist. They co-host the podcast Have You Heard.
