As the world enters yet another period of unprecedented political and environmental tumult, it is becoming even more clear that our current economic system based on the primacy of profit over the health and wellbeing of people and planet is failing. Throughout history, cities have always been at the forefront of new ways of thinking, and are urban laboratories to test and pilot new concepts. The same holds true today: the degrowth strand of economics, along with policies that focus on healthy people and environments, are being trialled in some Spanish cities, such as Barcelona and Girona. On the other side of the world, it is becoming more widely accepted that GDP is an outdated and inaccurate measurement of the health and wellbeing of a city or nation, and new tools and indexes are being implemented in cities across Japan. Despite their very different cultural contexts, these cities are thriving. Now, the question is: will nation states follow their lead?Featured guests: Dr Angelos Varvarousis, Author & Research Fellow at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB)Takehiko Nagumo, Director of the Smart City Institute JapanLinks:GDP Is the Wrong Tool for Measuring What Matters - Scientific AmericanThis Pioneering Economist Says Our Obsession With Growth Must End - New York Times'Letter to Nature' by Mayor of Barcelona, Ada Colau - C40 websiteGirona City Council, a pioneering administration in exploring degrowth - Nació ImpacteWhat is a Smart City anyways? - IMDJapan has a new way to measure city success – happiness - Cities TodayNew Zealand – Implementing the Wellbeing Budget - Wellbeing Economy AlliancePolicy Design for a Wellbeing Economy - JCCPEIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website: https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and Cities 1.5 is supported by C40 Cities and the C40 Centre for City Climate Policy and Economy.

Barcelona has a growing community of international residents, which for better or for worse is changing the face of the city. This week on Filling the Sink we find out who they are, why they chose this part of the world to start a new life and what impact they are having on the city. Lorcan Doherty sits down with host Beth Cohen to discuss the proliferation of expats in Barcelona. We meet Brian Rosa, researcher and university professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, who has done specific research on the topic and who explores some of the legal aspects. Toni Coll, from the Poblenou residents' association, explains the difficulties caused by the influx of highly educated international citizens, especially in terms of housing and the gentrification of certain areas of the city. And Marta Gràcia, CEO of the co-working franchise Cloudworks, outlines the benefits that the international community bring to Barcelona, particularly from a business perspective.  This week, our Catalan phrase is "Val més un veí a la porta que un parent a Mallorca,” which translates as “A neighbor at the door is worth more than a relative in Mallorca” and emphasizes the importance of local communities. For expats, having connections locally can be more helpful than having the support of relatives who are far away.

“A capitalist economy requires constant imperialist wars because it has to constantly suppress prices and wages and reorganize production in the global south around accumulation in the core. That is ultimately the system that we have to overcome.” Jason Hickel, who won our hearts a while back by accepting MMT, talks with Steve about the burning issue of our time. (No, not the US election, though they touch on the electoral system.) As much as Gaza is dominating social media, we must continue to stress its place in the capital order. Jason points us to Israel's true role: sowing chaos and instability in the region. The conversation covers the historical and ongoing imperialistic strategies of the U.S. and its reactions to the mid-century liberation movements of the Global South, placing US support for Israel's actions as part of a broader capitalist agenda to maintain control over the world's resources and labor markets. Jason looks at China's domestic successes and how they have led to the US virtually declaring war. He also touches on recent news about BRICS. Jason compares the history of the state of Israel to that of apartheid S. Africa. They used many of the same tactics and rationalizations. When it comes to the future for Israelis and Palestinians, S. Africa again provides a model: “What is the actual solution for this region? And I think we have to be clear. The alternative is democracy. The alternative to apartheid is democracy. Democracy and equal rights for all people in the land of Palestine, from the river to the sea... “We have to start thinking about what this means... This is exactly what South Africa did after they abolished apartheid... They disestablished the apartheid state. They disestablished the apartheid institutions. They ensured equal rights and democracy for all within the territory.” Dr. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist, author, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is Professor at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Visiting Senior Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics, and Chair Professor of Global Justice and the Environment at the University of Oslo. Health. Jason's research focuses on global political economy, inequality, and ecological economics, which are the subjects of his two most recent books: The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions (Penguin, 2017), and Less is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World (Penguin, 2020), which was listed by the Financial Times and New Scientist as a book of the year. @jasonhickel on Twitter

Two decades ago, a group of Indonesian agricultural workers in the Sumatran uplands began occupying the agribusiness plantation near their homes. In the years since, members of this remarkable movement have reclaimed collective control of their land and cultivated diverse agricultural forests on it, repairing the damage done over nearly a century of abuse. Scott talks with environmental anthropologist David Gilbert to delve into the history and politics of Indonesia's landback movements. They discuss how grassroots agrarian workers organized to resist corporate and governmental land grabs under the authoritarian regime of Suharto and the New Order. They also get into the Cold War politics of the region, U.S. intervention in Indonesia and current political developments in Indonesia.

For a mood boost, go somewhere that's at least 15 miles away from home. Research from University College London found that people who regularly traveled 15 miles outside of their local area felt healthier than those who stayed close to home. And that was especially true for people over age 50! Why? Because people who travel outside their comfort zone tend to visit more places and meet more people! And those are key factors that improve mental and physical health. Eating at night leads to weight gain... even if you're not eating any more than you normally do! So why is that? According to the Autonomous University of Chile, it's because our bodies burn more energy during the day... so as the sun sets, our metabolism naturally slows down, helping us prepare for sleep. That means we're not processing food as efficiently. And in a study of 5,000 people, those who ate after 8 p.m. had waists that were two inches bigger—even though they ate the same calories and had the same activity levels as those who eat earlier in the day. The next time you're obsessively worrying about something, write it down on a piece of paper, rip it up, and toss it in the trash. According to a study in the journal Psychological Science, doing that can reduce your anxiety in 15 minutes. That's because our brain handles thoughts as if they were objects. And by taking the thought out of your brain and putting it on paper, you release it. Then, by destroying it and throwing it away, it enables your brain to do the same—so you can move on. Do you get overwhelmed when you wake up and realize you've got a super-busy day ahead of you? Instead of freaking out about your to-do list, try this: While you're brushing your teeth, stand on one leg... And think about what you need to tackle. Studies show that balancing on one leg increases blood flow to the area of the brain that controls planning... And you'll find yourself better able to focus on one item at a time, and map out your day's schedule. Sales of electric vehicles have slowed. So what can get more people to buy them? Manufacturers think NOISE is the answer! Companies are making them sound more like traditional cars. Typically, fake engine noise is played through a vehicle's speakers. Manufacturers like BMW, Ford, and Porsche all do it. And if an electric car feels too easy to drive, Toyota is building a simulated stick shift that will let drivers pretend to “change gears,” and the system may even pretend to stall if the driver incorrectly shifts. Sales of “dumb phones” are increasing! Those are phones without apps. The company that manufactures Nokia phones saw its sales of flip phones double last year. How can playing the piano make you a better person? By enhancing your listening skills and emotional intelligence! According to research from Yale University, people who play the piano are generally good listeners. And studies show that musicians are more perceptive when it comes to interpreting and acknowledging other people’s emotions. That skill also makes a person more compassionate about others. And the part of your brain that governs your ability to listen also makes it easier for you to understand and retain what people say, remember new vocabulary words, and even learn a foreign language.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: In memory of Steven M. Wise, published by Tyner on February 21, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. LINK: https://everloved.com/life-of/steven-wise/obituary/ Renowned animal rights pioneer Steven M. Wise passed away on February 15th after a long illness. He was 73 years old. An innovative scholar and groundbreaking expert on animal law, Wise founded and served as president of the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), the only nonprofit organization in the US dedicated solely to establishing legal rights for nonhuman animals. As the NhRP's lead attorney, he filed historic lawsuits demanding the right to liberty of captive chimpanzees and elephants, achieving widely recognized legal firsts for his clients. Most notably, under Wise's leadership the NhRP filed a habeas corpus petition on behalf of Happy, an elephant held alone in captivity at the Bronx Zoo. Happy's case, which historian Jill Lepore has called "the most important animal-rights case of the 21st-century," reached the New York Court of Appeals in 2022. The Court of Appeals then became the highest court of an English-speaking jurisdiction to hear arguments calling for a legal right for an animal. Although the Court ultimately denied Happy's petition, two judges wrote historic dissents refuting the idea that only humans can have rights. Under Wise's leadership, the NhRP also helped develop and pass the first animal rights law in the country in 2023-an ordinance that protects elephants' right to liberty. Wise said he decided to become a lawyer after developing a deep commitment to social justice as a result of his involvement in the anti-Vietnam War movement while an undergraduate at the College of William and Mary. He graduated from Boston University Law School in 1976 and began his legal career as a criminal defense lawyer. Several years later, Peter Singer's book Animal Liberation inspired Wise to become an animal protection lawyer. From 1985 to 1995, Wise was president of the Animal Legal Defense Fund. As Wise told The New York Times Magazine, his litigation work during this time led him to conclude that the rightlessness of animals was the fundamental barrier to humans vindicating animals' interests. This is because, under animal welfare laws, lawyers must make the case for how a human has been harmed by the animal's treatment or situation; as Wise elaborated in his writings and talks, legal injuries to animals do not matter in court because animals are unjustly considered legal "things" with no rights, legally equivalent to inanimate objects, their intrinsic interests essentially invisible to judges. In 1995, Wise launched the Nonhuman Rights Project to address this core issue facing all animals and their advocates. After more than a decade of preparation, the NhRP filed first-of-their-kind lawsuits in 2013, demanding rights for four captive chimpanzees in New York State. A year and a half later, two of the NhRP's clients became the first animals in legal history to have habeas corpus hearings to determine the lawfulness of their imprisonment. Wise was also a leading force in the development of animal law as a distinct academic curriculum, teaching the first-ever animal law course offered at Harvard University in 2000. He remained committed to educating the next generation of animal rights lawyers throughout his career, teaching animal rights jurisprudence at law schools around the world, including Stanford Law School, the University of Miami Law School, St. Thomas University Law School, John Marshall Law School, Lewis and Clark Law School, Vermont Law School, Tel Aviv University, and the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Wise is the author of four books: Rattling the Cage: Toward Legal Rights for Animals (2000); Drawing the Line: Science and the Case for Animal Rights (2002); Though the Heavens May Fall: T...

On this Reality Roundtable, marine biologist Daniel Pauly, ocean physicist Antonio Turiel, and paleobiologist Peter Ward join Nate to discuss the numerous oft-overlooked threats to the Earth's great oceans. From overfishing and plastic pollution to climate change and acidification, the human system is assaulting one of the most important regulators for our climate and the largest habitat for life - anywhere. What early indicators of climate impacts are these great bodies of water showing us as we hit record heat across the oceans, fish populations dwindle, and major currents slow? Why are concerns for the ocean so overlooked and what further research needs to be done? Will we learn to value these high seas for all the priceless value they give us, or will we take them for granted until it's too late? About Daniel Pauly Dr. Daniel Pauly is a Killam Professor at the University of British Columbia. In 1999, Daniel Pauly founded, and since leads, a large research project, Sea Around Us, devoted to identifying and quantifying global fisheries trends. Daniel Pauly is also co-founder of FishBase.org, the online encyclopedia of more than 30,000 fish species, and he has helped develop the widely-used Ecopath modeling software. He is the author or co-author of over 1000 scientific and other articles, books and book chapters on fish, fisheries and related topics. About Antonio Turiel Antonio Turiel Martínez is a scientist and activist with a degree in Physics and Mathematics and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He works as a senior scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences of the CSIC specializing in remote sensing, turbulence, sea surface salinity, water cycle, sea surface temperature, sea surface currents, and chlorophyll concentration. He has written more than 80 scientific articles, but he is better known as an online activist and editor of The Oil Crash blog, where he addresses sensitive issues about the depletion of conventional fossil fuel resources, such as the peak of oil and its possible implications on a world scale. About Peter Ward Peter Ward is a Professor of Biology and Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington. He is author of over a dozen books on Earth's natural history including On Methuselah's Trail: Living Fossils and the Great Extinctions; Under a Green Sky; and The Medea Hypothesis, 2009, (listed by the New York Times as one of the “100 most important ideas of 2009”). Ward gave a TED talk in 2008 about mass extinctions.

Jason Hickel is een economische antropoloog professor at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona Het boek bestaat uit twee delen Deel 1: More is less One: Capitalism - A creation story Two Rise of the Juggernaut Three Will Technology save us Deel 2: Less is more Four Secrets of a good life Five Pathways to a post-capitalist world Six Everything is connected Part 1: More is less Capitalism - A creation story Geschiedenisles van een antropologist. Niet echt hoopgevend over hoe de elite de rest van het volg altijd onderdrukt heeft om zichzelf te verrijken. Als je dit zo leest begrijp waarom mensen naar de hooivorken grepen. Hoe enkele mensen zo rijk en machtig konden worden. Het gaat over hoe adel de grond die van niemand was (commons) werd ommuurd, en de mensen van de grond werden verdreven. Deze mensen konden eerst leven van de jagt en planten op deze grond. Ze konden er van leven en werkten af en toe voor de adel. Nu hadden ze niets meer en moesten ze werken om te overleven. Er is veel opstand geweest, maar die werd meet harde hand de kop in gedrukt. Een tijd van achteruitgang, mensen leefden gemiddeld korter brak aan. Honger was een krachtig middel om mensen voor weinig te laten werken. Eerst op het land, later in de fabrieken. Het zelfde gebeurde in de overzees gebieden. Grondstoffen gestolen (zilver Zuid Amerika), volkeren worden uitgeroeid door veldslagen en ziekten uit Europa. Ze werden gedwongen om producten te verbouwen zoals katoen en suiker. Ze moesten belastringen betalen voor dingen die eerst vrij beschikbaar waren, zoals zout in India. We gingen ook handelen in mensen, slaven. Telkens weer werden mensen uitgebuit voor economische groei en de welvaart van enkele. Het is ook bijzonder om te zien hoeveel vrije tijd en ontspanning mensen hadden voor die tijd. Eigenlijk vreemd dat we nu nog steeds met een bijna 40-urige werkweek leven. Werk werd langzaam ontdaan van betekenis, plezier, talent en meesterschap. Under capitalism, it's not enough to generate a steady profit. The goal is to reinvest that profit to expand the production process and generate yet more profit than the year before.  Rise of the Juggernaut Juggernaut: literal or metaphorical force regarded as merciless, destructive, and unstoppable In dit hoofdstuk legt Hickel uit dat van privaat gedag dit word omgezet naar publieke obsessie. Je ziet publieke organisaties zoals de OECD die een focus hebben op economische groei. BNP is een getal geworden wat laat zien hoe het gaa met de welvaart van het kapitalisme. Ondertussen is alles gekoppeld van het BNP / GDP. Als de groei daalt dan klapt het systeem in. We zijn verslaafd aan groei. We groeien niet omdat het nodig is, maar om nog meer te groeien. Aan alle kanten groeien we buiten de natuurlijk grenzen van de aarde. Ondertussen is de verhouding van natuurlijke materialen en materialen door mensenhand gemaakt 1,2. We zijn in gevecht met de natuur (Jan willem de Graaf). Voro de economische groei hebben we veel energie nodig. Daarom, ondanks de toename van alternatieve energie, groeit het gebruik van faossiel brandstof ook nog steeds. Jevon paradox. Als we efficienteer worden, gebruiken we meer. In het laatste deel van dit hoofdstuk laat Hickel zien dat we in het Westen nog steeds het zuidelijk halfrond uitbuiten. Wij gebruiken nu hun grondstoffen van de toekomstige generaties. Will Technology save us In dit hoofdstuk gaat het onder andere over de klimaatakkorden zoals die van Parijs. De 1.5 graag opwarming als grens, die al ernstige  gevolgen heeft.  De grote hoeveelheid materiaal verbruik, als we praten over groene groei, laat zien dat dit ook niet de oplossing is. Bijzonder is ook de overgang naar een diensteneconomie in de afgelopen jaren, lijdt nog steeds tot een groter materiaal vebruik, omdat mensen steeds meer spullen kopen met het gedl dat ze verdiene...

I wasn't sure if I'd publish this as a podcast episode considering I'm exploring the new territory of just collecting information from health care providers that can support my mission to help people navigate the stigma that comes with not only a herpes, but any STI diagnosis. As I learn more, I learn more. While I filter and curate this information from them to you, maybe you'll have my same experience and growth while I'm learning out loud here through these conversations. So I decided to get their consent to share these recordings that aren't quite podcast episodes, but conversations with providers on their challenges and perspectives as they treat patients. Dr. Lourdes here is the first interview in that series. I look forward to sharing with you here. Lourdes Mantecón-Garza obtained her medical degree in 1982, at the medical school of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León, in Monterrey, Mexico. She continued with specialty studies in Internal Medicine at the SSA Metropolitan Hospital in the same city in 1988. She completed a master's degree in business administration at the University of Texas (MBA, UT-PanAmerican) in 2005. She continue with studies on human sexuality at the Institute for Advanced Studies of Human Sexuality (IASHS) and at the Buehler Institute, both in California USA. Dr. Mantecón is a certified clinical sexologist by the American College of Sexologists International and is also a certified sexuality counselor by the American Association of Sexuality, Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) also in the US. Dr. Mantecón -Garza has fellow studies in women's sexuality by the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH). She is a visiting professor for human sexuality readings at different educational institutions in Mexico (UANL) and the United States (UTRGV school of medicine and family residency). She has presented research papers at national congresses in Mexico and the United States and world ISSM (International Society for Sexual Medicine) 2018, WAS (World Association for Sexual health) 2019 and ISSSWSH 2020. In addition to her practice, Dr. Mantecón Garza decided to write reference books that could be available to the population without the difficulty of medical technicalities. His first work, “The diet and the diabetic”, was published by Editorial Trillas in 1996, the second is “Healthy Sexuality” in the process of printing with the same publisher. She is dedicated to work as sexuality counselor at her office in McAllen Texas, she also offers services through telemedicine in English and Spanish.

The title of this week's episode is taken from an article to be published in September's Monthly Review. The author, Jason Hickel, talks to Steve about the topic in his third visit to the podcast.Before we look at the double objective of ecosocialism we must analyze the double crisis we're facing – ecological and social. Both are caused by the same underlying issue: the capitalist mode of production.Capitalism creates an almost perfect circuit that begins and ends with commodification and enclosure. Well, actually, it ends with massive profits... and that double crisis we mentioned. With essential goods and services outside our control, we have no bargaining power when it comes to the cost of living. We are helpless in the face of artificial scarcity and price-gouging. Faced with the high price of necessities we are forced to work longer and harder in order to simply survive. And of course, the more we need to work, the less control we have over our wages. The capitalist class makes out at both ends.There are at least two undeniable problems with this system. It wreaks havoc on the environment and is inconsistent with democracy, if you care about that sort of thing.“This is where our analysis has to ultimately lead, and the underlying pathology is basically that capitalism is fundamentally not democratic.”Even those of us who live in the US, Europe, or other countries with nominally democratic electoral systems have no illusions about their undemocratic nature.“More importantly, when it comes to the system of production, which all of us are engaged in every day, on which our livelihoods and our existence depends, not even the shallowest illusion of democracy is allowed to enter.”After identifying the quagmire, Jason and Steve talk about a solution. Jason lays out the necessary policies that ecosocialism should provide: universal public services, a public works program, and the job guarantee. Jason even suggests the possibility of post-capitalist firms and post-capitalist markets, and describes how they might operate in such a system.We can't have a Jason Hickel episode without a discussion of degrowth and whether that concept applies to the exploitation of the Global South. Nor is there a means of achieving our goals without domestic and international class solidarity.“We can't underestimate the scale of the struggle that is really involved here. I think we have to take inspiration from successful social movements that have occurred in the past. There's this amazing line from Thomas Sankara, the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso that goes 'we are the heirs of the world's revolutions'.Pretty much every good thing that we have is the result of revolutionary forces that fought to bring that to be. Everything from literally the minimum wage, as pitiful as it is, to the weekends, to whatever admittedly meager forms of democracy we get to exercise. These are all the benefits of revolutionary movements that have at least won some concessions in the past, and in some cases against extraordinary odds.”Dr. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist, author, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is Professor at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Visiting Senior Fellow at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics, and Chair Professor of Global Justice and the Environment at the University of Oslo. Health.Jason's research focuses on global political economy, inequality, and ecological economics, which are the subjects of his two most recent books: The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global...

Recent protests in France oppose plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. The demonstrations stem from a government plan so people would work -and pay into the pension system - for longer. There's also concern about what that change might mean for those who are many decades away from pension age. France isn't the only country facing economic efficiency challenges as populations age and leave the labour market. As more people leave Europe's labour market, will young workers have to pay for the old? The Inquiry hears also about the productivity challenges facing Spain and Germany.

On this episode, physicist Antonio Turiel joins me for a wide-ranging discussion from oceans and climate to energy and culture. Oceans are one of the most important factors regulating the Earth's climate, and yet they receive relatively little attention from the climate community. There are numerous critical risk factors to unpack regarding just the oceans alone - and still so much that we don't know. This conversation also delves into the complexity of an economic system requiring continuous growth itself embedded in an Earth system that is already hitting its limits. What are the boundaries of our energy systems and what options do we have - and not have - for the future? Is the root of the critical issue we're facing - not a technical problem - but a cultural problem? About Antonio Turiel: Antonio Turiel Martínez is a scientist and activist with a degree in Physics and Mathematics and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Autonomous University of Madrid. He works as a senior scientist at the Institute of Marine Sciences of the CSIC specializing in remote sensing, turbulence, sea surface salinity, water cycle, sea surface temperature, sea surface currents, and chlorophyll concentration. He has written more than 80 scientific articles, but he is better known as an online activist and editor of The Oil Crash blog, where he addresses sensitive issues about the depletion of conventional fossil fuel resources, such as the peak of oil and its possible implications on a world scale.

On March 5, 2023, a cyberattack wreaked havoc on Hospital Clínic, one of Barcelona's leading public hospitals, causing surgery and appointments to be cancelled and forcing staff to work with pen and paper. Marc Torrens of ESADE Business School explains how ransomware attacks like this work. Jordi Hernández of the Autonomous University of Barcelona tells Cristina Tomàs White the lessons they learned after a data breach in 2021. Plus the thoughts of David López, a cybersecurity expert at IPM, and Tomàs Roy, director of the Catalan Cybersecurity Agency. This week's Catalan phrase is "jugar al gat i la rata," to play cat and mouse (or rat, literally). Presented by Lorcan Doherty with Cillian Shields. 

In this episode of All Things Co-op, Kevin and Cinar speak with sociologist, political scientist, author and documentary filmmaker Dario Azzellini. They discuss recuperated workplaces—workplaces that have been abandoned by private capitalist owners and taken over by workers and reorganized to be democratically controlled—and why the process of engaging in struggle with fellow workers builds an enduring ecosystem of trust. They also explore critiques of the Mondragon corporation, why co-ops should be rooted in community and social movements, the dangers of co-op owners identifying as entrepreneurs, the long history of worker struggles around the world, and more. About our guest: Dario Azzellini is a professor and researcher in the Department of Development Studies (Unidad Académica en Estudios del Desarrollo) at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (Zacatecas, Mexico) and visiting scholar at the ILR School at Cornell University (Ithaca, USA). His primary research interests are labour studies, local and workers' self-management, and social movements and protest. He has more than 160 academic publications, among them more than 20 books, 11 films, and more than 100 journal articles and book chapters, many of which have been translated into a variety of languages. Together with Oliver Ressler he produced Occupy, Resist, Produce, a series of documentaries on recuperated factories under workers control in Europe.

An eerie photo of a young woman standing alone on the edge of a dark deserted highway has come to symbolize this growing crisis in Mexico- the disappearance and murder of women. It sparked a fire among women and activists in a country where women's disappearances and murders are often downplayed or ignored altogether. This woman had a bright future ahead of her and yet like thousands of others, her life was cut short. But because of this photo, her case is providing hope and solace to a nation of women living in fear. Her name is Debanhi Escobar. This is her story.

Can Ayahuasca benefit your grieving process? Today I am thrilled to introduce you to Débora Gonzales, a leading researcher into the effects of Ayahuasca on the grieving process. She earned her degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Madrid and later she earned a PhD. in pharmacology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. She also holds an accreditation in General Sanitary Psychology and is the founder and president of the PHI Association for the study of states of consciousness. She is a co-author of several scientific articles and book chapters about states of consciousness.The suicide of a close friend led her to investigate the processes of mourning and transition from a constructivist psychotherapy model learned, with the Portland Institute, and to explore EMDR techniques, with the EMDR Spain Association.In her research, Debora has found that Ayahuasca can have profound effects on the grieving process. In her study, she was seeking to make a loving connection between the participants and their deceased loved ones. What she found out was that Ayahuasca helps promote two mediating factors that greatly help us in our healing journeys.Listen in as Debora and I discuss her research in Ayahuasca, its impact on the grieving process, and how to promote traditional forms of healing.

What is direct specialty care, and why is this model changing healthcare? My guest is Dr. Pérez-Colón, who is on the cutting edge of this work in Puerto Rico. She is the first physician to bring this specialty care to the island. Dr. Sheila Pérez-Colón was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She obtained her bachelor's degree in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus. Her medical education started at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico, and she finished with the fifth pathway program at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York. She completed a 3-year pediatric residency program in the Children's Hospital at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. She then completed an additional sub-specialty training with a 3-years pediatric endocrinology fellowship at a combined program between Maimonides Medical Center and SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY. SUNY Downstate Medical Center then recruited her and Kings County Hospital in NY to become part of their faculty. After years of frustration with the traditional healthcare system (rushed visits, poor accessibility, surprise bills, and long waiting time, which all compromise patient care) and with the realization that nothing is better than being home and helping your people, Elite Endocrine MD was born. https://eliteendocrinemd.com/about IG: Elite.Endocrine.MD_drperez --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/urcaringdocs/message

Our times of crumbling structures and decaying social bonds are often depicted as apocalyptic. Monika Kostera's book After The Apocalypse: Finding Hope in Organizing (John Hunt, 2020) takes the apocalypse as a metaphor to help us in the search for meaning in our everyday realities. Yes, the apocalypse is when social structures and institutions fall apart and we are terrified and suffocated by the debris raining down upon us. But “apocalypse" also means “revelation”. The very collapse reveals what dissipating institutions were constructed upon: where there ought to have been foundational common values, most often there is violence and raw power. Yet the values are there, too, and they can be found. This book is a guide to these values, showing how they can be of help to organizers and organizational dreamers. Joan Francisco Matamoros-Sanin is an anthropologist with a PhD in Sociomedical Sciences from Mexico´s National Autonomous University (UNAM). He is devoted to both research and teaching, as well as public education through digital means. Some of his work revolves around the study of masculinities in relation to ethnicity, the body, space and the sociocultural contexts in which people live out their lives and its dramas. He has done ethnographic fieldwork across different areas of Mexico and in Saraguro, Ecuador. He also teaches courses in San Luis Potosí´s Autonomous University and in UNESCO´s Regional Cooperation Centre for Adult Education in Latin America and the Caribbean. One of his publications in English. A recent publication in Spanish.

It may not come as a surprise to most of you to hear that capitalism is the root cause of climate change. But if we unpack this a little bit, we see that it's a specific component of capitalism that's mostly responsible: the need for exponential and perpetual expansion. Growth isn't just a byproduct of capitalism, it's an imperative — an imperative to which we are all hostage. That's why, according to our guest in this week's Conversation, unless the climate movement centers degrowth in its strategies and policy proposals, nothing will fundamentally change. Jason Hickel is an economic anthropologist, Professor at the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and author most recently of Less is More: How Degrowth will Save the World. We first spoke with Jason five years ago on his book The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions, and then again in 2020 on international capitalism during the pandemic. In this conversation, Jason explains why 'growthism' is so problematic for our health and the health of the planet. He talks us through alternatives to growth, and shares how we could realistically unhook from perpetual expansion and transition to a post-growth, post-capitalist economic system where we are all living healthier, happier lives on a thriving planet.
