On this episode of the ABC Podcast, I speak with Dr. Naomi Scheinerman, author of Regulating the Revolution, Democratic Deliberation and Biotechnology, published by UNC Press, about biotechnology and democratic deliberation.

The 2012 discovery of CRISPR-Cas-9, a revolutionary gene editing tool, embroiled scientists, ethicists, policymakers, and patient advocates in challenging conversations about the moral, social, and political implications of editing DNA. At the same time, the regulatory and governance environment into which the technology was introduced needed modification to address its moral and safety risks.

Learn how Naomi envisions a more democratic political process geared toward the ethical and responsible regulation of technological innovation - and how we can all be part of shaping a more ethical future.

How do we create scholarship that’s beyond the page - and, what can we learn by bringing music and learning together?

On this episode of the ABC Podcast we welcome the author and producer of Curriculum of the Mind, Stevie, Dr. View Johnson. Assistant Professor of Creative Practice in Popular Music at The Ohio State University. Published by University of Michigan Press

Curriculum of the Mind is a groundbreaking hip-hop album that transforms the boundaries of scholarship, sound, and storytelling. Part collective memoir, part mixtape, and part political manifesto, the writing and music invites readers and listeners alike into a world where turntables become textbooks and samples act as archives of Black life.

The work features Black students, parents, creatives, and prospective college-goers who rarely see themselves reflected in academia. It challenges educators, librarians, and institutions to rethink what learning looks and sounds like in the 21st century.
