Between the Lines From the secular to the sacred in education. Welcome to Between the Lines: a podcast for nuanced conversations about education.“The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running,” wrote Simone Weil. At Between the Lines, this joy of learning is the air we breathe: the joy of discovery, of opening one’s mind to new ideas, and of reading, writing, and reasoning about the most important things. Above all, education is a joy because it hones the human powers of rational thinking—learning both what really is, and how to think well about what really is.History attests to the power of learning—for good and for ill. The ideas human beings hold shape the course of history, from philosophical principles to medical breakthroughs. When children (and adults!) learn to reason well from good principles, they build flourishing societies, have sparkling insights, and produce great works of art. On the other hand, bad principles—or bad reasoning—have often led to the great tragedies of history.In our time, educat Voice of West Papua Joe Wally, Erwin Bleskadit, Debra Wally, Sixta Kareni, Terra and Ronny Kareni Voice of West Papua has been on the air for 11 years and is presented by West Papuan activists and community members who voice the aspirations of West Papua's struggle, share songs, interviews, music, and stories. Since the annexation of West Papua by Indonesia on 1 May 1963, more than half a million West Papuans have died and countless have gone missing as a result of a brutal military occupation. Today West Papuans are still experiencing injustice, marginalisation and human rights abuses just because they stand up for themselves. Through our stories, interviews, music, and art, we hope to raise awareness about the plight of West Papua. Papua Merdeka!
