Website | Instagram“I think I internalised a European sense of America in several different ways. When I was out on the road a lot of things seemed exotic to me, things that I'd grown up with and were just part of being: the long distances; these buildings that just pop up in the middle of nowhere; the emptiness; the scale… the kind of watching of movies of what is the American west. The internalisation I think has something to do with scale. I live in London - the small streets, you're around people all the time, and then being in this openness, which i miss and i love, but I did find it unnerving and it effected how I made the work actually.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

In this interview I chat with Susan Bissell who is the Director at the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children at UNICEF. Although this episode was recorded a few years ago (I know, I’m sorry I’m slow at editing), Susan’s insights on the work to eliminate violence against children is still highly relevant. According to the Partnership, 1 in 2 children experience violence every year. Every 7 minutes a child dies as a result of violence and 10 million children are subjected to modern slavery. This interview covers how the Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children is working with various stakeholders around the world to reduce these numbers, some of the innovation in the space of child protection, resources and how you can get involved. Susan's career has focused on the rights of children. Having spent over twenty-five years working in various capacities for UNICEF, as of January 2016 she is leading an emerging Global Partnership to End Violence Against Children. The primary purpose of the partnership is to "end abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all forms of violence against and torture of children." From 2009 to 2015, Dr. Bissell served as Chief of Child Protection in UNICEF's Programme Division. Author of a number of research studies, she has worked with UNICEF in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, India, Italy (at the Innocenti Research Centre), and New York City, and earned a PhD in public health and medical anthropology from the University of Melbourne in Australia. While completing her doctorate, she joined Trudie Styler and the Bangladeshi film team Catherine and Tareque Masud to produce the documentary "A Kind of Childhood," which has won awards and been screened widely. She holds a BA and MA from the University of Toronto. On behalf of her UNICEF Child Protection colleagues, Susan Bissell has accepted awards including an honorary professorship at Barnard College/Columbia University, the Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship award from Tufts University, the Flambeau D’or from Panathlon International, and the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.
The Gospel & Race Workshop Series - Part 1 "The Backstory to Racism in America" Dr. Angela M. Simms -- active participant of the Renaissance Church community and Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies at Barnard College-Columbia University -- helps us examine the social construction of race and ethnicity in the U.S. from the colonial period to the present. Her lecture analyzes how capitalist interests, class differences, gender, immigration, and who “deserves” the full rights and privileges of citizenship, shape boundaries between and within racial and ethnic groups, and ultimately the racial hierarchy underpinning White domination. We will also consider how racism affects inequities between racial and ethnic groups in education, criminal justice, media, and other domains. Attendees at this session were asked to read the following materials: 1. Dorothy Roberts, "Chapter 1: The Invention of Race," in Fatal Invention: How Science, Politics, and Big Business Re-Create Race in the Twenty-first Century (2011) 2. Matthew Desmond, "In Order to Understand the Brutality of American Capitalism, You Have to Start on the Plantation," in "The 1619 Project," The New York Times (2019) ("The 1619 Project is also available as a podcast):https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/slavery-capitalism.html 3.

When was the last time you looked in a mirror and checked in with your emotions? I’m guessing probably never? Most of us look at our reflections as something we need to check on to make sure everything is in place, and more often than not, to criticize our own appearance. Dr. Tara Well, psychology professor at Barnard College Columbia University, created The Mirror Meditation, a self-care exercise, in which a guided meditation while gazing at our own reflection, can teach us to relate to ourselves in a completely different, more compassionate way. In this interview, Tara shares with us her personal story of when she discovered meditation in her teenage years and how it shaped what she is teaching and studying today. Dr. Well's TedX talk, What Mirror Meditation Can Teach You | Tara Well | TEDxOcala explores this simple but powerful exercise. Dr. Well also shares her expert knowledge on mind-body medicine, narcissism, the psychology of selfies, the mirror as a tool for dancers, models and actors, as well as insider tips on how to pitch and execute a TedX talk.
If negotiation isn’t all about being tough and getting the most money out of a deal, then what is it about? Contrary to the traditional wisdom that negotiations shouldn’t be emotional. Today's guest Mori Taheripour shows that negotiation is not only intensely personal, but it is also the way we find our own voice. In the episode, we chat about Mori's new book BRING YOURSELF: How to Harness the Power of Connection to Negotiate Fearlessly, we discuss the hidden danger of being the pleaser, abundance vs scarcity thinking, why the win is the wrong way to think, creating connection in a 'social distancing' world, and how expectations drive what we get more than we realize.Links:Mori's Website: http://moritaheripour.com/BRING YOURSELF book: https://amzn.to/2V5IOf4Recommended Reading:How to Win Friends & Influence People: https://amzn.to/2Vc68rwAbout Mori TaheripourMori Taheripour is an award-winning faculty member in the Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches Negotiations and Dispute Resolution.
