Podcasts about atlantic fellows

Join us for a new season of the People vs Inequality podcast on one of the biggest themes when it comes to changemaking and tackling inequalities: solidarity. Is solidarity in crisis or booming? What do we actually mean when we say solidarity? How can we unpack, critique, rebuild or reimagine solidarity in these times of great need? One step is creating the space to talk about it, to share our doubts, fears, frustrations, hopes, learning and more. This is what a group of Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity did over the past two years, resulting in a heartwarming process, a publication with community reflections and this podcast. In this episode you hear what we did, why it felt so valuable and what we found along the way. Amanda Segnini (climate justice activist & co-lead of the Solidarity Project), Ruby Hembrom (Indigenous Publisher, Phd-student & member of the project) and Barbara van Paassen (host & co-lead of the Solidarity project) talk about what brought them to this space, what solidarity means to them and what they learned in this time together – amidst so much violence and injustice in the world. Of course they also share their hope in moving forward practicing solidarity and simply being human.In need of some inspiration?

In a time of crisis and conflict, how can we find agency and work together across spaces in ways that contribute to a more just, caring and equal world? Join us for our very first LIVE recording, straight from the Politics of Inequality Conference at the London School of Economics in London, where we speak with the amazing Lyla Adwan-Kamara and Dr. Philippa Mullins. Two people bringing unique personal and professional perspectives to these questions, with a level of depth and care that we wish everyone to hear. Lyla is a Ghana-based Palestinian-Irish mental health and disability rights activist and leader who doesn't shy away from speaking out with great clarity. Philippa is a researcher and educator in disability and resistance studies with a clear vision for equity in knowledge production.We talk about working from a place of hurt and joy, how to navigate these challenging times whilst recognizing the injustices we see are not new, what it means to stand in solidarity and address inequalities in our everyday life, work and the institutions we are a part of. We hear about the importance of rest and kindness, understanding and honoring our values whilst recognizing fluidity and mess, and - of course - being in community.References coming up in the conversation: Tuck and Yang - Paris I Proof  bell hooks - Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom Dionne Brand – “One enters a room and history follows; one enters a room and history precedes.

This event was the launch of the paper 'A New Diaspora of Saudi Exiles: Challenging Repression from Abroad' by Professor Madawi Al-Rasheed published under the LSE Middle East Centre Paper Series. Since the rise of Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman in 2017, a new wave of exodus began, that has pushed feminists, young students, secularists, Islamists and others to flee the country in search of safe havens in the US, Europe, Canada and Australia. Based on ethnographic research, this paper traces the diversity of the young cohort of exiles who are currently seeking to counter domestic repression from abroad. Although Saudi Arabia has generated waves of exiles throughout its modern history, Al-Rasheed argues this recent diaspora is different in its diversity, demographic profile and aspirations. Madawi Al-Rasheed is Visiting Professor at the LSE Middle East Centre and a Fellow of the British Academy. Since joining the Centre, she has been conducting research on mutations among Saudi Islamists after the 2011 Arab uprisings. This research focuses on the new reinterpretations of Islamic texts prevalent among a small minority of Saudi reformers and the activism in the pursuit of democratic governance and civil society. Her latest books are 'Salman's Legacy: The Dilemmas of a New Era' (London: Hurst/OUP, 2018) and 'The Son King: Reform and Repression in Saudi Arabia' (London: Hurst/OUP, 2020). Armine Ishkanian is Professor of Social Policy and the Executive Director of the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme at the International Inequalities Institute, LSE. Armine's research examines the relationship between civil society, democracy, development, and social transformation. She has examined how civil society organisations and social movements engage in policy processes and transformative politics in a number of countries including Armenia, Egypt, Greece, Russia, Turkey, and the UK.

Reverend Rhetta Morgan is an interfaith minister, facilitator, artist and healer.  Her work encompasses the intersections of spirituality, creativity and activism, all rooted in an intention to work and live in a more just world. She currently facilitates Anti-Bias work for the Anti-Defamation League, leads The Ecclesia Fortify Circle, a group that supports activists to develop spiritual practices, and recently returned from South Africa working as facilitator and healer with Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity. Find her at www.reverendrhetta.com  If you want to be in service to love on this planet at this time, what can that look like? In this interview, Rhetta Morgan discusses how to do  the inner work needed so you can face domination in a potent way:In this tough time in our culture, it's easy to lose touch with our vision for what we desire instead. Touching on awe can be regenerative for those who are feeling exhausted. “There is a way in which we can infuse the most difficult circumstances with a sense of power, awe, and sacredness.”We can face exactly where we are and how we feel, yet also take an empowered, compassionate, and visionary stance. This involves working with all of our identities, from victim to awe-maker, change-maker, and community nurturer.Wholeness and oneness are the lenses she finds most powerful: “It's not about winning. The ‘right side' is the ‘whole side,' as healthy as we can get it.”It's time to believe in the legitimacy of your sense of mission or calling. “You've got to have a declaration: I am here to support this time! I am here to do what I can in this time.” Our ancestors and the planet require it. We must ask, “Who do I need to become so that I can answer that heart call?”“I like to imagine the electromagnetic field of Earth claiming me so that as I move, I move in service to her.”“I like to live as if it is possible for justice to be the way of the world…I am in the ‘yes' of what is possible…We are called to stand before the ways culture works now and offer a different way.” Thanks for listening!

Isabel Chen and Jamar Slocum join us to discuss the history of American medical education and how its evolution has maintained injustice. They speak about prestige, research dollars, medical school rankings, race, admissions, wealth and power, health disparities, and the long shadow of the 1910 Flexner Report that laid the foundation of the current system. They also share how justice-informed movements like the Beyond Flexner Alliance are attempting to rattle the paradigm and recenter care, love, and justice as the ‘social mission' of medicine. Beyond Flexner Alliance (BFA) is a national movement, focused on health equity and training health professionals as agents of more equitable health care. This movement takes us beyond centuries-old conventions in health professions education to train providers prepared to build a system that is not only better, but fairer. The Beyond Flexner Alliance aims to promote social mission in health professions education by networking learners, teachers, community leaders, health policy makers and their organizations to advance equity in education, research, service, policy, and practice.

Summary  What are the biggest limitations social movements encounter, time and again? What are the good examples of positive collaboration between INGOs and social movements?  And what characteristics, what attributes made that collaboration positive? In this podcast episode, I discussed with May Miller-Dawkins about the potential and peril when NGOs collaborate with social movements. May's Bio:      Researcher, advocate and facilitator, working with social movements, NGOs, foundations, universities and community groups on social change processes      Used to be based in New South Wales, Australia, now in New Zealand       Works with social movements and social sector organizations as well as universities to strengthen their advocacy, deepen their coalitions and sharpen their analysis      Former director, Governance and Transparency, The B Team, which seeks to redefine the culture of accountability in business by creating and encouraging the diffusion of new norms for business in society       Head of Research at CoreLab, focused on research aimed at influencing policy and practice       Former head of research at Oxfam Australia We discussed: When NGOs collaborate with social movements in a respectful manner that recognizes movements' autonomy and the need for its members to maintain safety, it can increase the credibility of their workInnovationNetwork has developed a very helpful framework with four dimensions for evaluating social movements:Institutional powerPeople powerInfluencer powerNarrative powerSocial movements tend to be more effective in raising broad public consciousness, while NGOs can be effective in agenda setting with elites and institutionsNGOs are more at risk of reinforcing their power structures, or get coopted or become victim to ‘insider incrementalism'. On the other hand, they can set agendas in ways that are considered more ‘palatable by the mainstream opinion or elites. Quotes“It can be hard for NGOs to step back sufficiently to make sure they are complimentary and respectful of the power and agency of social movements” “NGOs have to be careful in how they exercise their gatekeeping capabilities” "Long-term, flexible funding is one of the most important ways in which social movements can be supported” Resources:·       LinkedIn·       Personal Website·       Facebook GroupArticles mentioned:       Understanding Activism (2017) with Rhize and The Atlantic Council – Link       The State of the Growing Movement Fighting Inequality (2019) – Fight Inequality Alliance, Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity and Rhize – LinkClick here to subscribe.Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Youtube

This was one of Sarah Fortuna's reflections during our recent Leadership Amplified discussion. We've heard this before - Sarah's early reflections on leading left her feeling that leadership wasn't for her. Early in her career saw a lot of unhealthy practices, what she saw was unappealing, she couldn't see the kind of role models she wanted to emulate. Thankfully that changed. She worked with leaders who were challenging and amazing, and she understood how hard, and thoughtful, leadership is. ‘Leadership is a full body contact sport.' Leadership most makes sense to Sarah when leaders care about the world, the community, and show responsibility to others. It's not an individual pursuit. As part of the Atlantic Fellows for Social Impact program, she's learned that there are other ways of leading. It's possible to breathe in a space where there isn't just one way of doing things.  Indigenous leadership is collective responsibility for the community, and a sense of who you are beyond the role - that appeals to her. ‘Go in with open mind, it's not all about you but finding your place in the team.' She sees her future challenge as keeping the sense of openness, curiosity & spirit that she felt when younger.

Who do you picture when you hear the word ‘widow'? The stereotype is probably an elderly woman. But what if your spouse dies unexpectedly young? Two women share their experiences of grief, stigma, and finding the strength to live their lives to the full. Roseline Orwa is a Kenyan campaigner lobbying for cultural change around widows and the stigma towards them in Kenya and other African countries. She was widowed aged 32, when her husband was killed in post-election violence. Like many women, she had to face 'sexual cleansing' in order to be able to return to day-to-day life. She started the Rona Foundation, supporting and championing the rights of widows across the country. Anjali Pinto is an American photographer and writer who lost her husband suddenly on New Year's Eve 2016. She was only 26 and they had been married just over a year. Using social media to chronicle her life without her husband and break down taboos around grief, she unintentionally created a community of young widows on Instagram.

What does equity in brain health look like? How do artists and scientists approach this question together? This month we'll be hosting another evening chat with a panel of experts from the Global Brain Health Institute. Join us for a discussion on health equity, social memory and the role of music in brain health and research. As Atlantic Fellows with GBHI, neuroscientist Francesca Farina, musician Grainne Hope, and Public Engagement Specialist Sarah Fox will come together to share insights into making and mapping memory through art and science. We'll also have a practical discussion about mediating priorities and practices when artists, scientists, and the public come together. About the speakers Francesca Farina is a neuroscientist whose research focuses on identifying risk factors and early biomarkers of dementia. She also has a strong interest in developing creative engagement initiatives to promote brain health and life-long well-being. Grainne Hope is a professional cellist, Kids' Classics Founder & Artistic Director & Wellcome Trust Clore Fellow. ‘Kids' Classics' is Ireland's leading Music in Healthcare organisation that provides training and mentoring to professional musicians, and creates and designs music programmes for healthcare, community and school settings in partnerships with the National Arts Organisations and Healthcare Settings. Sarah Fox gained a PhD from The University of Manchester studying how rhythmic activity in the brain could be used to better understand changes in the early stages of Alzheimer's dementia. But her PhD taught her much more than the ups and downs of brain waves, as she spent an increasing amount of her time working with other scientists and artists to find ways of discussing scientific findings with a wider audience. She now helps patients understand and take part in dementia research and can often be found waxing lyrically about brains over a cup of something warm. The Art + Science Reading Group is a virtual group where researchers, artists, thinkers, and revolutionaries come to share ideas. Organised by PhD candidates Autumn Brown (School of Education and Science Gallery Dublin) and Amelia McConville (School of English and Institute of Neuroscience) and supported by Science Gallery Dublin and the Trinity Long Room Hub, the series explores the ways art and science shape one another and society.

A livestream seminar hosted by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE at Rhodes House, Oxford. The panel explores the assumptions that different countries make about who should care for our sick, the elderly or children in society. Unpaid women around the world grease the wheels of the global economy, so what would it look like to redesign a society around the value of care and change the gender imbalance? They consider what agencies and changes in governmental policies might shift assumptions about gender stereotypes of ‘women's work' and what is ‘paid' and ‘unpaid' in modern economies. Cuba has a strong focus on care provision, so could other nations learn lessons from the value that Cuba places on care?

Dana Walrath refers to her work as a border-crossing blend of creative writing, anthropology and art. The daughter of refugees from the Armenian genocide, she has used stories and art to teach medical humanities at the University of Vermont's College of Medicine since moving to the state in 2000. On the show Dana talks about her graphic memoir, “Aliceheimer's: Through the Looking Glass,” which combines drawings and stories to chronicle three years of caregiving for her mother, Alice, when she was in the middle stages of Alzheimer's disease. Dana tells us about her frustrating encounters with the medical system, how her mother expressed herself creatively despite having Alzheimer's and how living with her mother gave Dana an opportunity to make peace with her despite their historically difficult relationship. Currently based in Dublin, Ireland, Dana is an Atlantic Fellow for Equity in Brain Health at the Global Brain Health Institute, where she's developing a second graphic memoir focusing on end stages of dementia and dementia across cultures.
