Podcast Overview

A bi-weekly podcast hosted by Lisa Petrides, CEO and Founder of the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME), "Educating to Be Human" explores what it means to be human in today's evolving cultural and societal landscape. In each episode, Lisa speaks with people whose work addresses the challenges and possibilities of how we might educate and inspire transformative change in modern society, which reaches beyond the traditional classroom. In Season 2, we examine who controls access to knowledge, how learning is accelerated through embodied experiences, and how education is essential for resilience and connection in an evolving world. Think if Big Ideas Fest were a podcast, Educating to Be Human is born from the desire to keep the conversations going and making the knowledge we have gained and stories we've heard accessible to all. By bringing these unique voices into the podcast world, we are furthering ISKME's commitment to make learning and knowledge-sharing participatory, equitable, and open. Educating to be Human is hosted by Lisa Petrides, produced by Helene Theros, recorded by Nathan Sherman, and edited by Ty Mayer. Season 2 music is created by Orestis Koletsos.

Reflecting on Season 2: Centering Our Humanity in Education

<p dir="ltr">In Season 2 of Educating to Be Human, we asked questions about education: who controls what we learn? Who benefits? Who gets left out? What would it take to democratize education? And simply, why do we learn? </p> <p dir="ltr">Lisa spoke with people across disciplines - community organizers, faith leaders, educators challenging traditional systems, civil servants, and business leaders - to chip away at these questions from different angles. </p> <p dir="ltr">In this special episode, we revisit key moments from our conversations in Season 2, highlighting how our guests challenged us to think of what becomes possible when we center humans - not systems - in learning. </p> <p dir="ltr">This special episode features clips from interviews with:</p> <p dir="ltr">Wendy Millet, founder of <a href= "https://www.gallopventures.com/">Gallop Ventures</a>;</p> <p dir="ltr">Atman Smith, founder of the <a href= "https://holisticlifefoundation.org/">Holistic Life Foundation</a>;</p> <p dir="ltr">Stephen Ritz, founder of the <a href= "https://greenbronxmachine.org/">Green Bronx Machine</a>;</p> <p dir="ltr">Joanna Strober, founder of <a href= "https://www.joinmidi.com/">Midi Health</a>;</p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Keith Curry, President of <a href= "https://www.compton.edu/">Compton College</a> and CEO of the Compton Community College District;</p> <p dir="ltr">Maha Bali, professor of practice at the Centre for Teaching and Learning at the American University in Cairo and co-founder of <a href="https://equityunbound.org/">Equity Unbound</a>;</p> <p dir="ltr">Paul Kruchoski, former senior U.S. diplomat and a career member of the Senior Executive Service;</p> <p dir="ltr">Fr.

Rural Education and the Power of Community with Kassi Talbot

<p dir="ltr"><img src= "//assets.libsyn.com/show/284546/Kassi_Talbot_Episode_Artwork.jpg" alt= "image of Kassi Talbot, principal at Pescadero Elementary School in rural california" width="200" height="200" /></p> <p dir="ltr">In the season finale of Educating to Be Human, we turn our attention to rural education and the transformative power of community-centered learning. Host Lisa Petrides is joined by Kassi Talbot, educator, social justice advocate, and principal of Pescadero Elementary School, a small rural school on California's coastside. Born and raised in the same community she now leads, Kassi shares how participatory and community-based education, and a deep commitment to equitable, open education can drive lasting positive outcomes — not just in remote or non-urban schools, but across all systems of learning. This episode explores what it means to center humanity, care, and connection in education, reminding us that the lessons from small schools and rural communities often hold the keys to building a more inclusive and transformative future for all learners.</p> <p dir="ltr">Kassandra "Kassi" Talbot, EdD, is an educator and principal dedicated to her local rural schools. With nearly a decade of classroom experience teaching middle school social studies and high school Spanish, Kassi centers her work on antiracist and equitable practices. Her doctoral research, "Reclaiming the Story: YPAR in the Rural Social Studies Classroom," explored how youth can (re)claim history and stories through participatory action research. Kassi serves her community through local leadership, human rights training, and youth mentorship. She lives on the California coast with her dogs, and extended family — where she's working to build the kind of community her students will one day lead.</p> <p dir="ltr">LinkedIN: <a href= "http://www.linkedin.com/in/kassandratalbot">www.linkedin.com/in/kassandratalbot</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.lhpusd.com/">https://www.lhpusd.com/</a> </p> <p> </p>

RERUN: The Power of Place with Ruth Mostern

<p dir="ltr">Today, we’re revisiting one of our favorite conversations from Educating to Be Human — and much has changed since we first recorded it. Back in September 2024, Lisa sat down with Ruth Mostern, Professor of History and founder of the World Historical Gazetteer, to explore how our sense of place influences the way we understand our past and our identities. </p> <p dir="ltr">Through her groundbreaking project, the World Historical Gazetteer, Ruth enables historians and the public alike to visualize and contextualize historical events and relationships geographically, transforming static history into dynamic, place-based storytelling. </p> <p dir="ltr">Since that conversation, we’ve seen how place names and their meanings continue to shift - and spark debate - reminding us just how deeply history is woven into geography. This year, Ruth and her team also launched something brand new: the Institute for Spatial History Innovation, or ISHI, at the University of Pittsburgh. https://ishi.pitt.edu/ - now the new home for the World Historical Gazetteer.</p> <p dir="ltr">Resources:</p> <p dir="ltr">The Institute for Spatial History Innovation: <a href= "http://ishi.pitt.edu">ishi.pitt.edu</a> </p> <p>Ruth Mostern at University of Pittsburgh: <a href= "https://www.history.pitt.edu/people/ruth-mostern">www.history.pitt.edu/people/ruth-mostern</a></p>
