Why are Sports Gender Segregated?
Whether it’s basketball, billiards, or table tennis, sports in the U.S are segregated by sex. And most of the time those divisions are taken to be natural, not the result of social choices. Journalist Laura Pappano asserts that sports play a key role in shaping American politics and argues for breaking down the gender wall in sports. Eileen McDonagh and Laura Pappano, Playing With The Boys: Why Separate Is Not Equal In Sports Oxford University Press, 2007 Photo credit of Manon Rhéaume: Tsunami330 The post Why are Sports Gender Segregated? appeared fir...

The Past and Future of Gender in Sport | Good Sport
We often take gender for granted as a “natural” division in sports and life. But did you know the first decisions to divide sports into “male” and “female” categories were in many ways the result of women beating men in mixed gender competitions? In this episode, Jody chats with Veronica Ivy, a trans world cycling champion, about the pitfalls of dividing sports by gender. Then he hears from Laura Pappano, a journalist and researcher about the fascinating (and modern) history of gender segregation in sports.

Reclaiming Public Schools: One Principled School Mom at a Time
Hyper-polarization has permeated many public schools, creating divisions and diverting focus from providing quality education, supporting students, and ensuring that teachers have the resources they need to do their best work. In this discussion, we speak with award-winning journalist and author Laura Pappano, who sheds light on ideological battles taking place in rural, politically conservative districts and shares inspiring stories of principled 'school moms' who are working to save public education from extremism. We also examine how rural communities foster unity even in times of deep, local division, offering examples that can inspire communities everywhere.

The Right’s War on Schools
Public schools have long been a battleground for the right. But since the Covid pandemic, the right has had the wind at its back, enlarging its ranks with parents frustrated by school closings and masking mandates. Education journalist Laura Pappano discusses how the far right has sowed panic over library books, gender neutral bathrooms, and the supposed teaching of Critical Race Theory — not just to take over school boards, but to cast doubt on the value of public education itself. Resources: Laura Pappano, Parent Activism, Partisan Politics, and the Battle for Public Education Beacon Press, 2024...

The Insidious Influence of Moms for Liberty
Moms For Liberty sucks. I’m not going to even try to soften that statement, because it’s true: they’re an ideologically regressive organization that is wielding the idea of “parental rights” to censor books, teachers, and instructional materials. They make it much, much harder for educators to do their jobs — and many of the people most involved don’t even have kids in public schools. But to defeat them, you have to understand what they’re doing — and how they’re doing it. Which is why I wanted to have journalist Laura Pappano come on the show to talk about...

This week, Remoy picks up the newscaster mic and shares some history about women’s sports. We are joined by young adult author and educator Kirstin Cronn-Mills, an activist supporting gender equity in sports, specifically for trans women.Sports have always been framed and regarded as a men’s activity by the powers that be, but in reality, all genders have always participated.

Understanding School Moms with Laura Pappano
In this thought-provoking episode, Mike Palmer welcomes education journalist Laura Pappano to discuss her new book School Moms: Parent Activism, Partisan Politics and the Battle for Public Education.

Meddling Moms: The Movements Making Change in Public Schools
Over the past few years, a battle is taking place on many school grounds – one being driven by mothers that is inevitably shaping the future of schools. Laura Pappano – a journalist with decades covering education – couldn’t ignore the growing influence of these movements on education policies and challenging public schools. In her book, “School Moms,” she reports on the well-organized efforts of far-right movements, such as Moms for Liberty, in framing attacks on schools, influencing language and mobilizing local communities. As a result, these movements have flipped school boards, banned books, and changed curriculums.“There is a lot...

The Signal | America's Book Banning Crisis, with PEN America's Sabrina Baêta
While voters overwhelmingly rejected pro-book banning, Moms for Liberty-backed Republican school board candidates in Bucks County – and across the United States – at the polls in November, the country still finds itself in the midst of a book-banning crisis. Pennsylvania has the dubious distinction of cracking the Top 5 book banning states, coming in at #3 with a reported 644 instances of bans across 16 districts. PEN America published a report last month, Spineless Shelves, documenting this censorship scourge afflicting K-12 school libraries and classrooms. I spoke with one of the report’s authors to discuss the scope of this problem over the last two ye...

We’re officially back in the swing of things here after the holidays and we’re jumping right into it with an interview about public schools.

We recently passed the 3-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection and it’s upsetting to see how so many Americans have shifted their views from condemning it to explaining it away. It’s so important to have accurate journalism so narratives like “Jan 6 wasn’t a big deal” don’t catch on. The hosts also discuss the scapegoating...

Chapter 19: 2012 MOOC
Inevitably, the selection for 2012 is massive open online courses, or MOOC, with The New York Times declaring it “the year of the MOOC” (Pappano, 2012). We have looked at the roots of MOOC in the explorations of connectivist approaches, but more broadly the MOOC phenomenon can be viewed as the combination of several preceding technologies: some of the open approach of OER, the application of video, and the revolutionary hype of Web 2.0. The MOOC were an idea waiting to happen. This chapter is read by Laura Czerniewicz.Read the chapter online or view the book references.

The economy's supposed to be really good, if you look at the official numbers.

Except … not really. The system isn't working the way it's supposed to for working people. Here's what I mean. Typically in the past, when so many people have jobs, pay goes up.
