Great Minds on LearningWellbeing with Donald Clark In this final episode before the summer break, Donald Clark and John Helmer explore the rise of happiness and wellbeing as central themes in psychology, education, and policy. From Seligman’s Positive Psychology to Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach, they examine the thinkers who defined the science—and pseudo-science—of flourishing. Is wellbeing a universal human right, or a set of scantly-evidenced models that has somehow become an industry?

But when we try to actually talk about it, we often fall back on vague phrases: tech is “bad for mental health” or tech is “addictive”. Does this sort of messaging actually help parents and families make better decisions? Or do they just make us feel stuck between panic and helplessness?In this week’s episode, Andy and Pete explore why our public conversations about tech often get stuck in fear, and how we...

The problem is particularly acute among younger people, who are disproportionately likely to cite poor mental health as their reason for not working. Other surveys suggest that poor mental health and burnout are among the top reasons for young people to quit their job. But should young people develop more resilience and “soldier on”, as older generations may have done, or is being more open about mental health a good thing? And how well are employers adapting to the expectations of y...

Health & LivingChanging How We Talk About Mental HealthWords help us to describe how we feel during the highs and the lows, and they’re especially important in our conversations about mental health. But are our efforts to destigmatise mental illness and create more conversations about how we feel too broad? Is telling someone to seek mental health help whenever they feel “depressed” or “down” sending the wrong message that we shouldn’t feel this way at all? Here to discuss more is Dr Lucy Foulkes, psychologist and author of the book “Losing Our Minds: What Mental Illness Really Is”. Image credit: PixabaySee omnystudio.c...

Dress: Fancy: The Podcast About Dressing UpCarte Blanche: The Power of Dressing in WhitePristine, pure, powerful, peaceful: the meanings of white are many and various. It should occasion no surprise, then, that dressing in white (and its opposite, black) have long been a popular theme in costumed entertainments. Tracing the history of this colour through clothing, Lucy and Ben discuss some of the more intriguing uses of white in dressing up, from the seventeenth-century royal masque to Donald Trump’s recent, regrettable UK State Visit.   Links Accompanying images can be viewed at @dressfancypodcast Queen Charlotte’s Ball: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Charlotte%27s_Ball;https://www.da...

Dress: Fancy: The Podcast About Dressing UpEthereal Excess – Carlos de Beistegui’s Venetian BallDescribed, in all seriousness, as the ‘Ball of the Century’, the Beistegui Ball of 1951 was a fancy dress event like no other: the guest list, the costumes, the late-running pre-party rehearsal – everything was taken to an extreme. But at what cost? As guests partied, they also pondered: ‘memorable’ the event certainly was; ‘merry’, perhaps not. Join Lucy and Ben as they discuss the enigmatic host and why his legendary entertainment may not, in fact, have been the party of all parties.
