Murphy discusses new book on Teachers Talk Radio podcast

Amy Murphy, a clinical associate professor in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice, was recently interviewed on a podcast called Teachers Talk Radio. Murphy, along with coauthor and professor Brianna Kennedy, discussed their work on Frame Shifting, an approach to addressing persistent teaching dilemmas.

The Frame Shifting approach involves interpreting dilemmas using the three domains of teaching, which allows teachers to explore new strategies for solutions. Their work will soon be available in their forthcoming book, “Frame Shifting for Teachers: Developing a Conscious Approach to Solving Persistent Teaching Dilemmas.”

O’Connor quoted in New York Times

Patrick O’Connor, a professor in the Department of Kinesiology, was quoted in a New York Times story about the 75 Hard program. The program requires participants to complete two 45-minute workouts per day and adhere to a diet with no cheat days for 75 days.

“Ninety minutes per day, that would be excessive for some people and it could produce injuries for some people,” O’Connor said. “A lot of times, the biggest risk for injury is if somebody goes from very little, to quite a bit.”
