But it doesn't have to be this way - we can embrace ageing, help to combat ageism & make the most of all the brilliant things that come with it, without denying of course that it's not all wonderful. So how do we do it? Well, lucky for you, my guest today is an expert in this. Anne Karpf is a writer, sociologist, Professor of Life Writing and Culture at London Metropolitan University and the author of How to Age.

Hello and welcome to this week's episode where my guest is Sue Reed. Sue's background is varied and she's worn a variety of hats, including teacher, museum guide, upcycler of waste wool knitwear and published author. Her most recent creation is the fictional character Molly McFlynn, a quirky and courageous character who comes to terms with the concept of being an outsider against the backdrop of covid and a rugged Northern landscape. Listen on to find out how nature factors into the rewilding of Molly… About Sue Reed Sue Reed lives in rural Northumberland with her husband, Tim where their love of wild places and nature can be realised. They have three grown-up children and two granddaughters who mean the world to them. Born in Worthing, Sussex, Sue migrated steadily north and has worn a variety of hats in her professional life from teacher, museum guide, upcycler of waste wool knitwear as The Woolly Pedlar to published author. It was in 2019 that she decided to go to Newcastle University to do an MA in Creative Writing, which is where the idea for the Molly McFlynn books started. When not writing, Sue divides her time with her husband in the garden, travelling in their converted campervan or looking after the grandchildren. They try to live as sustainably as possible, leading gentle lives in tune with the seasons, and growing their own fruit and vegetables. Sue also writes about organic gardening, seasonal eating and foraging at The Bridge Cottage Way.

THE GRAVE AND MEMORIAL BENCHES: Laurie Taylor talks to Allison C. Meier, New York based researcher, about how burial sites have transformed over time. Whilst the grave may be a final destination, it is not the great leveller, and permanency is always a privilege with the indigent and unidentified frequently being interred in mass graves. So what is the future of burial with the rise of cremation, green burial, and new practices like human composting? Can existing spaces of death be returned to community life? Also, Anne Karpf, Professor of Life Writing and Culture at London Metropolitan University, explores the phenomenon of the memorial bench. Despite the proliferation of online spaces for memorialising a person who has died, there is a growing demand for physical commemorations in places that were meaningful to them, as evidenced by the waiting-lists for memorial benches in sought-after spots. Do such memorials constitute a ‘living obituary', a celebration of seemingly undistinguished lives, beyond the grave? Producer: Jayne Egerton

We cannot resolve the climate emergency without fighting for gender equality. Women, especially poor women of colour, are suffering most as a result of the climate crisis, our highest-profile climate activists are women and girls and yet, at the top table it is men who are deciding the earth's future. In her latest book, How Women Can Save the Planet, award-winning journalist Anne Karpf argues that when it comes to fighting climate change we are not all in it together, but we could be. In today's podcast she joins Róisín Ingle, Sadhbh O'Neill, policy coordinator with Stop Climate Chaos, and Catherine Cleary, writer and founder of the Pocket Forests initiative, to talk about many of the issues raised in the book, the debate about women and climate change and what we can all do to help.

When it comes to climate change, we're not all in it together. From New Orleans to Bangladesh, women—especially poor women of colour— are suffering most from a crisis they have done nothing to cause. ‘How Women Can Save The Planet' by Anne Karpf is a smart, bold and inclusive call to arms: we can fix the climate emergency by fighting for gender equality. In this episode, listen to Anne Karpf in conversation with Angad Singh Chowdhry, co-founder of Quilt.AI, about how our gendered perceptions of nature influence our understanding of the climate crisis and our actions to mitigate it.

This episode is a collaboration between A Matter Of Degrees and the Gimlet podcast How To Save A Planet.Take a look at many of the spaces where climate-related decisions are being made — from government to business to media — and you'll notice a numbers problem. Despite being roughly half the people on the planet, women rarely have equal representation in critical climate decision-making spaces. This isn't just bad for women. It's bad for everyone. In this episode, Dr. Katharine Wilkinson (our host and Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson (host of Spotify's How To Save A Planet) take a deep dive into the data behind this idea. They speak with two sociologists about how gender inequality in climate leadership can deepen the harmful impacts of climate change, and also hinder policy changes. They also speak with someone who has seen firsthand how women can transform an entire nation when they lead on climate.This episode features Dr. Christina Ergas, Anne Karpf, and Wanjira Mathai.Resources:We Do's Gender Climate TrackerEmily's List (an organization that helps Democratic women and non-binary people run for office)Higher Heights (invests in Black women's leadership)She The People (focused on helping women of color run for office)Matriarch (focused on helping progressive women run for office)She Should Run (helps women regardless of political affiliation)Global Witness (organization that assists environmental defenders)Follow our co-hosts and production team:Leah StokesKatharine WilkinsonStephen LaceyJaime KaiserDalvin AboagyeA Matter of Degrees is a production of Post Script Audio.

Azim Ahmed talks to four guests participating in this year's digital-only Hay Festival, discussing disparate topics such as the decline of democracy and consequent rise of autocracy in numerous countries; the creation of national library in Somaliland; and how women can save the planet. Historian Anne Applebaum discusses her essay The Twilight of Democracy, which documents a shift towards radical right politics among many intellectuals in countries such as Poland, Hungary, the USA and even Britain. It's a story of friendships turned sour, and ideals betrayed. Journalist Rageh Omaar together with librarian Ahmed Dahir Elmir tell the story of how a small, Islamic democracy in the Horn of Africa - Somaliland - managed to create a national library in the capital. A former refugee, Ahmed is the driving force behind this initiative to bring books to a region that was once celebrated for its Islamic culture and learning. And sociologist Anne Karpf talks about her recent book How Women Can Save the Planet. She comments that gender is frequently omitted from discussion of the climate crisis, and yet it is women - and particularly women in less developed countries - who bear the brunt of the consequences of climate change.
What if women's untapped power to make change was harnessed to fight the climate crisis?Climate change affects us all globally – but it does not affect us all equally. Vast social and economic inequities mean we don't all contribute to the climate crisis to the same degree; nor are its effects evenly distributed. Racialised women are the most likely to suffer the consequences of climate change, which they have done the least to cause. Meanwhile, women are marginalised in the spaces where climate solutions are shaped.Gender inequality has helped cause climate catastrophe – and we need gender equality to help us solve it, argues writer and sociologist Anne Karpf. We must see women not simply as the victims nor the sole saviours of our global situation, but as holders of power to make systemic change. She speaks with inspiring women from across the world building movements for gender-inclusive climate action.#RSAclimateThis conversation was broadcast online on the 27th May 2021 .

"A palavra envelhecer se tornou tão contaminada pelo desdém e pelo medo, que é tentador prescindir completamente de seu uso." A frase é da jornalista e socióloga Anne Karpf em seu excelente livro Como envelhecer, da coleção School of Life. Será que dizer que "os 50 são os novos 30" ajuda a desmitificar o envelhecimento e combater o etarismo? Ou é mais um equívoco que insiste em negar a idade como se ela é que fosse a grande vilã? Não seria melhor trocar a palavra juventude por vitalidade? Envelhecer é sinônimo de amadurecer? Para quem acaba de completar 50 anos, como eu, essa é uma pauta urgente. Por isso decidi ouvir a terapeuta ocupacional Patrícia Marques, especialista em Saúde Mental e mestre em Gerontologia, que atua como professora da Universidade Sênior de Tondela, em Portugal. Não deixe de ouvir as reflexões oportunas e surpreendentes de quem tem um olhar poético sobre o envelhecimento, mas sem dourar a pílula.

In February 1943, hundreds of German women joined in a spontaneous protest in central Berlin. They were objecting to the roundup of some of the city's last Jews -- their husbands. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenstrasse protest, a remarkable example of civil disobedience. We'll also ponder whether a computer can make art and puzzle over some unusual phone calls. Intro: Between 1946 and 1953, British wordplay maven Leigh Mercer published 100 immortal palindromes in Notes & Queries. In 1933 English sculptor John Skeaping recorded his opinions of his contemporaries inside a horse of mahogany.

Chronologically Gifted celebrates its fourth anniversary with a look back at some of our favorite interviews. Anne Karpf is a British writer, award-winning journalist, sociologist, scholar, and teacher. Her latest book is How to Age. Anne spoke on the topic of aging while female. She stated, "There is such a degree of age shame and age shaming that goes on in both countries (US and UK)...We have to challenge the language, protesting when people make ageist comments because we internalize that kind of language and turn it back on ourselves. That's the most pernicious form of ageism: the one that you impose upon yourself."
Acclaimed children's writer, poet, educationalist and broadcaster Michael Rosen was at the shop to present his latest book So They Call You Pisher! (Verso), a memoir of his childhood and early adulthood. Born into a Jewish Communist family in the East End of London in 1946, Rosen's early life was one of Party meetings, radical camping holidays, revolutionary hopes and disillusionments, and of political self-discovery. Warm and witty, his memoir gives a vivid account of growing up on the left in post-war Britain. Michael Rosen was in conversation with the medical writer and journalist Anne Karpf, author of, most recently, The School of Life's How to Age.
