    What Can I Get Out Of This? Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics with Carlo Rotella

    I spoke with author and professor Carlo Rotella about his new book.  An eloquent and moving story about the value and the pleasures of intellectual exploration—and why it matters beyond the classroom. At a time when college students and their parents often question the “return on investment” from humanities courses, accomplished feature writer and English professor Carlo Rotella invites us into the minds of a group of skeptical first-year students who are ultimately transformed by a required literature class. In WHAT CAN I GET OUT OF THIS?: Teaching and Learning in a Classroom Full of Skeptics (September 2, 2025; UC Press) he follows thirty-three students through his class to provide an intimate look at teaching and learning from their perspectives as well as his own. The students’ reluctance—”How does this get me a job?”—transforms into insight as they wrestle with challenging books, share ideas, discover how to think critically, and form a community. In all these ways, they learn how to extract meaning from the world around them, an essential life skill. Confronting skeptics of higher education, this compassionate and inspiring book reveals the truth of what students actually experience in college. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Carlo Rotella is Professor of English at Boston College. A regular contributor to the New York Times Magazine, he has written books about cities, boxing, music, and literature.

    Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society

    I Spoke with Jackie Stanley of the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society. Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society was founded in 1915 by Woodstock, Vermont, businessman Frank Mackenzie in memory of his wife, Lucy. Lucy was a caring woman with a “practical interest in humane work and in the various social and religious activities, which always appeal to one of her sympathies…(and a) readiness to do helpful things at every opportunity.” Mackenzie quietly worked to support those who needed help. Upon her death, Mackenzie’s husband established the Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society to care for “abused (and neglected) children as well as animals including horses.” In a large Victorian building at the center of Woodstock, Vermont, dogs, cats, horses, and children found a refuge where they lived in harmony, well-cared for, when the world let them down. Half a century later, the building moved to another location in Woodstock, and the need to serve children was no longer necessary. Today, Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society is one of the oldest continuously operating no-kill humane societies in the United States. After almost 100 years, and now located on 14 semi-wooded acres in West Windsor, so much has changed, yet the heart of Lucy Mackenzie remains the same.

    Post-Traumatic Parenting: with Robyn Koslowitz Ph.D

    Every good parent wants to create relationships with their children that are filled with joy, connection, and healthy attachment. Yet well-meaning but traumatized parents--those who suffered as children or who are dealing with traumatic events as adults--tend to see the world from a survival point of view. If that's you, you might suspect that your own trauma is negatively influencing your parenting behaviors. Where can you turn for support and wisdom? Post-Traumatic Parenting goes far beyond the fad social-media trends like "gentle" and "responsive" parenting to provide a clear, easy-to-follow, and substantive guide, offering both what to do and why it works, so traumatized parents can create the kind of relationship they want with their children of any age. In this book, you'll learn how to properly adjust your techniques and strategies, act in accordance with your defined parenting values, and, best of all, create your own survival strategies and flip them into your parenting superpower.
