We’re at a pivotal moment where the purpose of education must be reexamined, and teaching practices must evolve to align with this new vision. This podcast dives into critical issues shaping education today, climate change and environmental sustainability; equity in education; the role of the arts; and student well-being.Copyright Anne Corkery, Lauren Hill

    Anne Pasek | Season 2, Episode 7
    May 12 2026
    In this episode, we sit down with Anne Pasek to explore the environmental politics of AI and digital technology. Anne pushes past the excitement and panic that often shape conversations about artificial intelligence, asking instead what these systems actually are in material terms and what they take to sustain. A key part of the discussion focuses on her framing of AI as “trash,” which helps reorient the conversation toward waste, infrastructure, and the broader ecological consequences of digital systems. Rather than treating AI as something abstract or futuristic, Anne brings it back down to earth and asks what it means to think about these tools more honestly.

    In this episode, we sit down with Juliet Hess to explore music education through a more critical and socially aware lens. Drawing on her work in the philosophy and sociology of music education, Juliet reflects on how music can become a point of encounter, giving students ways to engage with people, experiences, and perspectives they may not otherwise come across in everyday life. The conversation also touches on the emotional role music plays in people’s lives, especially for young learners, and how music education can either narrow that experience or create room for reflection and affirmation.

    Note: This conversation was recorded in August 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Katrina Keefer to explore how games and interactive design can create new ways of engaging with history in educational settings. Drawing on her work as a historian and game developer, Katrina reflects on the value of game-based learning while stressing the importance of using these tools with intention. A key part of the conversation centers on her Bunce Island project, which digitally recreates the historically significant site in Sierra Leone and invites learners to engage more directly with the history of the transatlantic slave trade, memory, and displacement. Rather than presenting the past as distant or static, Katrina shows how immersive design can help students encounter difficult histories in a way that feels more immediate and considered.
