Apple is the John Bascom Professor Emeritus of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I spoke with him on November 18.

In the aftermath of Trump sweeping to power, I thought it would be valuable to return to an interview I conducted with Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire in the aftermath of the 2020 election. In that conversation, we looked back at education under the first Trump presidency and looked ahead to education during the Biden administration. This will be good context to remember as we prepare for Trump 2.0. Next week I’ll return with a new interview with Michael Apple about what a second Trump presidency might mean for education over the next four years. -- Today we take stock of public education in the United States after the 2020 election.

In this episode, Chundou imagines multiple, parallel worlds where layers of universes simultaneously fold into each other.

Today we launch a new project at FreshEd called The Thinking Ear. The Thinking Ear is a collection of episodes produced by you, offering a sonic space to share ideas on education worldwide. Think of it as an audio journal. If you’re interested in developing your own podcast episode about your research, please get in touch. The Thinking Ear is open for submissions. We will offer support to develop your idea into a podcast before airing it on the FreshEd platform. We think a space for anyone to contribute a podcast episode is important because sonic productions expand our understanding. Research is no longer confined to niche journal articles or shared in half-empty conference rooms. Podcasts encourage us to think both analytically and creatively about research and increase our public impact. We want to democratize podcast creation by offering our listeners opportunities to make their voices heard. So welcome to The Thinking Ear and I hope many of you will consider making your own episodes in the future. To
