Teaching Human in the Age of AI with Joseph Vukov
Today, our guest is Dr. Joseph Vukov, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Associate Director of the Hank Center for Catholic Intellectual Heritage at Loyola University in Chicago. His research and teaching explore questions at the intersection of ethics, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, and at the intersection of science and religion. Joe is the author of three books, most recently, Staying Human in an Era of Artificial Intelligence. Dr. Vukov's writing has also appeared in venues including The Chicago Tribune, America Magazine, Religion News Service, Fox Opinion and many academic journals. He serves on the AI Research Group for the Dicastery for Culture and Education and is the current President of Philosophers in Jesuit Education. In 2025, he was awarded the St. Ignatius Loyola Award for Excellence in Teaching. We talk about what AI can and can't do, keeping humanity in our teaching, and much more!

Love for Large Classes with Kevin Dougherty
Today our guest is Kevin Dougherty, professor of sociology and associate vice provost for faculty honorifics at Baylor University. Kevin is an award-winning teacher and prolific researcher. His scholarship focuses on religious affiliation, religious participation, racial diversity in congregations, congregational growth and decline, and the impact of religion on other realms of social life such as community involvement, politics, and work. Since 2022, Kevin has served as Chair for The Robert Foster Cherry Award for Great Teaching. An engaging instructor who teaches large lecture sections all the way through graduate seminars, Kevin has won several teaching awards—many several times, such as the graduate student teaching award while he was studying at Purdue, the Baylor Athletics Outstanding Professor Award, and the Outstanding Professor Award for distinctive teaching at Baylor. In 2011, Kevin was a Baylor teaching fellow, and in 2025, he received the Core Curriculum virtues award. And the icing on the cake, also in 2025, Kevin was named Master Teacher, Baylor’s highest honor for teaching. We are delighted to have Dr. Dougherty on the show to discuss engaging students in large classes, the moral and spiritual development of college students, and how to identify “Great Teaching” in others.

Compassionate Challenge with Sarah Rose Cavanagh
Today our guest is Dr. Sarah Rose Cavanagh, psychologist, educator, and author specializing in the science of emotion, motivation, and learning. As Senior Associate Director for Teaching and Learning at Simmons University in Boston, she blends empirical research with practical strategies to help teachers, leaders, and teams navigate the emotional dynamics of classrooms and workplaces. Her writing spans several widely praised books—including Mind Over Monsters, Hivemind, and The Spark of Learning, and essays for Psychology Today, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Literary Hub. A sought-after speaker, she delivers keynote addresses and workshops internationally on topics ranging from emotional engagement to compassionate approaches for supporting mental health and effective learning. Sara’s work challenges conventional pedagogy by foregrounding emotion as a driver of motivation and retention, urging educators to cultivate environments that balance compassion with challenge. And we are delighted to have Dr. Cavanagh on the show to discuss mental health days, the role of so-called negative emotion in learning, and we need joy in our teaching. https://www.sarahrosecav.com/ From the host: Authority, Passion, and Subject-Centered Teaching
