“Emotions are neurohormones,” says Joshua Freedman. “And these little chains of chemical affect every living cell in our brains and bodies.” But for as much power as emotions have over our lives and selves, too often our educational systems emphasize subject area mastery over cultivating emotional intelligence. Freedman is the perfect person to talk to about this, because for the last 25 years has served as CEO of 6 Seconds, and he helped design the Social Emotional Learning Specialization for Antioch University’s Doctor of Education program. In this interview we talk about how to befriend and learn from the feeling of shame, how to cultivate a school that is a great place to learn, the importance of adult social emotional learning, and much more.

Since this interview was first released two years ago, Antioch has announced the creation of a new system of colleges and universities, starting with affiliation with Otterbein College. This makes our interview with Chancellor Bill Groves about the role of higher education in promoting democracy only more relevant. So today we’re re-releasing this conversation about how Antioch University’s values of promoting social, economic, and environmental justice have been put to the test and the vital role Chancellor Groves believes higher education plays in building and maintaining democracy through educating voters and taking thoughtful stands on social injustices.

You can read more about Antioch’s mission statement involving social, economic, and environmental justice here. 

To hear more from about the affiliation, listen to our recent Seed Field Podcast episode about that subject, featuring an interview with Chancellor Groves and Otterbein President John Comerford.

Recorded April 26, 2021 via Riverside.fm. Released June 9, 2021. Re-released March 8, 2023.

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?

Many of us dream of writing a screenplay that becomes a blockbuster or of having our play open on Broadway. But the worlds of theater and film often seem impenetrable and full of barriers, especially for people from less privileged backgrounds. To learn more about how emerging playwrights and screenwriters can navigate these challenges, we sat down with the writer Colette Freedman. Colette is a longtime faculty member of Antioch’s MFA program and has had her stage plays and screenplays produced around the world. The conversation touches on how to produce films yourself without asking for permission, how Colette transforms the injustices that enrage her into strong stories, and the important place of humor in her writing and teaching.
