Podcast appearances and mentions of Bell hooks

AI permeates K-12 education, but the rush to adopt new tools often bypasses critical questions about equity, bias, and human connection. On this episode of Trending in Education, host Mike Palmer sits down with Stephanie Smith Budhai and Marie K. Heath, co-authors of the new book Critical AI in K-12 Classrooms: A Practical Guide for Cultivating Justice and Joy. Together, they dismantle the "myth of inevitability" surrounding EdTech and explore how educators can reclaim agency in the face of rapid technological change with AI. From the historical resistance of Sojourner Truth to the concept of the classroom as a "Home Place," the conversation offers a refreshing, techno-skeptical framework that prioritizes student flourishing over big tech's framing. Key Takeaways: Reframing the Narrative: Why "Justice and Joy" must remain central to education, ensuring schools are spaces of affirmation rather than just sites of data extraction. The "Home Place" Concept: How bell hooks' notion of a "Home Place" helps teachers create safe harbors where students can critically interrogate harmful AI outputs and resist standardized bias. Sojourner Truth as Metaphor: A look at how Sojourner Truth co-opted and subverted the cartes de visites photography of her day to fund abolition—and how modern students and educators can similarly "sell the shadow to support the substance". Pedagogies of Resistance: An overview of culturally sustaining, fugitive, and abolitionist pedagogies that equip teachers to challenge oppressive structures within AI and educational technology. The Four Ps of Action: Practical steps for moving forward through Personal, Professional, Pedagogical, and Participatory action. Why You Should Listen: This conversation moves beyond the basic "how-to" of generative AI tools. Instead, it tackles the moral and ethical dimensions of bringing powerful, often biased technologies into the classroom. If you are an educator, administrator, or parent looking for a way to navigate the AI hype with your values intact, this episode provides the historical context and practical strategies needed to foster true digital agency.

Lauren Bastide est journaliste, autrice et militante féministe et évidemment podcasteuse.Elle vient de publier Enfin seule, un livre intime et politique qui m'a permis de remettre en question mes propres biais intégrés et mes croyances.C'est une conversation que je voulais absolument avoir avec elle depuis longtemps, car nous nous connaissons depuis des années et j'admire énormément son parcours, son intelligence, et la justesse de ses engagements.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de solitude féminine, mais surtout de ce que cela signifie de choisir d'être seule loin des injonctions sociales au couple, à la maternité, à la conformité. J'ai voulu comprendre pourquoi tant de femmes ressentent un manque ou une honte à ne pas avoir "coché toutes les cases", alors qu'elles mènent des vies passionnantes. Lauren apporte une réponse puissante : ce n'est pas un vide intérieur, mais une pression extérieure.J'ai questionné Lauren sur la différence entre être seule, vivre seul et se sentir seul, et sur la manière dont le patriarcat a historiquement maintenu les femmes sous surveillance. Nous avons évoqué des figures oubliées comme Gabrielle Suchon, les dangers d'un retour à un ordre moral réactionnaire – notamment aux États-Unis – mais aussi le rôle de la maison, du corps, de la charge mentale et du soin dans la conquête de soi.C'est un épisode dense, engagé et profondément humain, où il est aussi question de sororité, de féminisme, de poétique du quotidien et de droit à l'ennui.5 citations marquantes« Le célibat, ce n'est pas une position de moins 1. C'est la position zéro. »« Une femme seule, c'est encore vu comme une anomalie sociale. »« Vivre seule par choix, c'est un geste politique. »« On ne peut pas être libre si on reste sous surveillance. »« La maison peut être une prison ou une cabane, c'est ce que l'on en fait. »10 questions posées Quelle est ta relation à l'amitié entre hommes et femmes ?À qui s'adresse ton livre Enfin seule ?Que réponds-tu aux femmes qui souffrent du célibat ?Pourquoi la solitude est-elle un enjeu politique ?Quelle est la différence entre vivre seul, être seul et se sentir seul ?Comment perçois-tu le recul des droits des femmes aux États-Unis ?Peux-tu nous parler de Gabrielle Suchon ?Que signifie pour toi la maison, la cabane ?Comment vis-tu tes propres contradictions ?C'est quoi le message central que tu veux faire passer aux femmes ?Timestamps clés 00:00 – Introduction par Gregory : pression sociale autour du couple02:00 – Début de la conversation avec Lauren03:50 – Sur l'amitié et les relations non capitalisables05:30 – À qui s'adresse Enfin seule10:00 – Solitude choisie vs isolement14:00 – Injonctions sociales au couple19:30 – Le célibat féminin comme stigmate22:00 – Surveillance des femmes et contrôle social31:00 – Recul des droits aux États-Unis et tradwives37:00 – Droit au repos et « linger » selon Bell Hooks41:00 – La maison : entre oppression et émancipation47:00 – Contradictions personnelles et rôle du soin52:00 – Le mythe de la joggeuse et le vrai danger56:00 – Trouver une voix intérieure Suggestion d'autres épisodes à écouter : #192 Feminisme washing: On claque la porte?

"Faith isn't a switch you flip or a muscle you flex. It's like gravity ...when it's there, you feel it pulling you, and when it's gone, there's no pretending it's still there." Colten Joel Thane BarnabyThis Earth Xperience explores belief, love, and what it means to evolve beyond what you were taught without losing your desire to understand. Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a former Pentecostal raised in a multigenerational family of pastors, shares his journey from childhood faith to questioning every structure that shaped him. Once a Bible scholar and seminary student, Colten now identifies as an agnostic atheist with an open curiosity toward truth, consciousness, and human connection.Together we explore what happens when the search for truth outgrows certainty. Colten recalls his early experiences speaking in tongues at five years old, his family's deep church legacy, and the moment he realized that understanding mattered more than agreement. The conversation moves from deconstructing faith to redefining love through personal experience and philosophy, weaving insights from thinkers like Bell Hooks and Scott Peck.Colten's reflections extend beyond religion into what it means to live and love consciously. He describes marriage as both fragile and sacred, not because it is unbreakable but because it requires constant care. He challenges capitalist and individualistic systems that isolate people from community and argues that true humanity depends on interdependence, not independence.Each Earth Xperience has its own fingerprint, shaped by the story of the guest. The X represents anything you choose to explore, express, or expand. In this episode, the X is an Experience with Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a writer, creator, and podcast host who explores belief systems, spirituality, and human connection through honest conversation. You can connect with him on Instagram and TikTok at @coltenbarnaby and watch his new podcast Ask the Next Question on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.Questions to reflect on:• What does faith mean to you when it's no longer tied to certainty?• How much of your belief system was inherited versus chosen?• Can love exist without belief in God?• When you let go of a framework, what do you hold onto instead?• What happens when truth and comfort no longer align?• How can questioning become a form of worship?• What makes a human if not what we believe, but how we connect?

bell hooks såg feminismen som en politisk massrörelse. Verklig kärlek kräver rättvisa och handling och skulle förändra samhället i grunden. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. bell hooks utformade en feminism som befann sig i skärningspunkten ras, klass och kön och där kärleken var den sanna kraft som kunde förena oss alla. Kärlek är handling, menade hooks. Och just hur vi handlade var centralt för henne. Hon var också aktivist och förde in känslor som kärlek och vrede i sina samhällsanalyser som sträckte sig från medborgarrättsrörelsen till Beyonce. När hon dog 2021 var hon an av USA:s mest inflytelserikaste tänkare.bell hooks tog med sig sin bakgrund och sina erfarenheter in i sitt akademiska arbete. Hon föddes 1952 som Gloria Jean Watkins, tog senare sin mormors namn och valde att skriva bell hooks med små bokstäver för att markera att budskapet var viktigare än författaren. Hon kom från en arbetarklassfamilj i det rassegregerade amerikanska södern, från en småstad i Kentucky. Efter skolan flyttade hon till Kalifornien och elituniversitetet Stanford. Det var där hon mötte den vita feminismen och hon insåg att den var både rasistisk och klassblind och tjänade till att upprätthålla orättvisor.Vad är det som gör att hennes böcker fortsätter komma i nytryck och hela tiden hitta nya läsare? Hur skulle kärleken förändra samhället, enligt hooks?Medverkande: Valerie Kyeyune Backström, kulturkritiker och biträdande kulturchef på Expressen, Annelie Bränström Öhman, professor i litteratur- och genusvetenskap vid Umeå universitet.Programledare: Cecilia Strömberg Wallin Producent: Marie LiljedahlVeckans tips:Konst:The Card Game - Jacob Lawrence - vissa på Liljevalchs Konsthall t om 20260830Film:Sentimental value - Joachim TrierBöcker av bell hooks som nämns i programmet:Allt om kärlek: nya visionerÄr jag inte en kvinnaFeministisk teori: Från marginal till centrumBelongingBone BlackVideo:Länk till video där bell hooks pratar om sitt skrivande

Co kryje się za pojęciem „wojny płci”? Czy to tylko publicystyczna prowokacja, czy może coś dużo głębszego? Czy to mechanizm, który napędza współczesne konflikty społeczne? Punktem wyjścia do tego odcinka jest myśl sformułowana przez Bell Hooks, która pisała, że ta „wojna” nie jest symetryczna. Kobiety nie walczą z mężczyznami, lecz z systemem dominacji, który od wieków mówi im, kim mają być.Sięgam w tym odcinku po współczesne badania feministyczne o płci, ale także o wojnie w znaczeniu konfliktu militarnego. Opowiadam o trzech mechanizmach, które od lat powtarzają się w różnych kontekstach: o męskiej ochronie, męskiej rywalizacji i mobilizacji kobiet w imię przetrwania. Od Afganistanu po Kambodżę – te same wzory pokazują, jak głęboko płeć wpisana jest w logikę przemocy.Nie martwcie się, nie jest tylko opowieść o beznadziei. Bo w tej samej strukturze, która rodzi przemoc, rodzi się też opór. Kobiety, które wychodzą na ulice, organizują protesty, bronią ziemi i swojego prawa do decydowania o sobie, przepisują znaczenie wojny. Może właśnie dlatego, jak pisze Pani Magdalena Środa, kobiety są dziś bardziej nowoczesne, bo szybciej zrozumiały, że przyszłość to nie rywalizacja, tylko współodpowiedzialność. Zapraszam.

Part 1 Communion by bell hooks Summary"Communion: The Female Search for Love" by bell hooks is a profound exploration of the complexities surrounding love, particularly for women. In this work, hooks reflects on the challenges women face in understanding and experiencing love in a patriarchal society that often prioritizes power over connection. Key Themes:Love as a Spiritual Journey: hooks emphasizes that love is not merely an emotion but a multifaceted experience that can foster spiritual growth. She challenges the conventional notions of love, advocating for a deeper understanding that encompasses self-love, love for others, and a broader sense of community.The Impact of Patriarchy: The author discusses how patriarchal values can distort women's perceptions of love, encouraging them to sacrifice their needs and desires for relational harmony. This often leads to feelings of unfulfillment and disconnection.Importance of Community: hooks argues that love is not just an individual pursuit but a communal one. Building support networks and nurturing relationships with other women are vital for personal well-being and liberation. She highlights the importance of sisterhood and collective healing.Self-Love and Empowerment: A significant portion of the book is dedicated to the concept of self-love, which hooks considers essential for any authentic relationship. She asserts that women must learn to love themselves to seek fulfilling and healthy romantic relationships.Love as Resistance: Love is portrayed as an act of resistance against societal norms. hooks sees the act of loving as a way to combat systemic oppression and reclaim autonomy. By embracing love, women can reclaim their power and challenge the status quo. Conclusion:"Communion" is not just a theoretical exploration but also a call to action for women to redefine their understanding of love away from societal expectations. By advocating for self-love, community, and authentic relationships, hooks empowers women to cultivate a life rich with connection and purpose.In summary, bell hooks' "Communion" serves as a critical examination of love through a feminist lens, urging readers to embrace a more holistic and transformative approach to love in their lives.Part 2 Communion Authorbell hooks, an influential American author, feminist, and social activist, released the book "Communion: The Female Search for Love" in 2002. This book explores the complexities of love and relationships from a feminist perspective, encompassing themes of love, intimacy, and the societal expectations placed on women.Throughout her career, bell hooks wrote numerous books covering a wide array of topics, including feminism, race, culture, and media. Some of her most notable works include:Ain't I a Woman? Black Women and Feminism (1981) Feminism Is for Everybody: Passionate Politics (2000) All About Love: New Visions (2000) The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love (2004) Black Looks: Race and Representation (1992) Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom (1994) The Present is the Future: A Vision for the Women's Movement (2014) In terms of the best editions of her works, editions such as "Feminism Is for Everybody" and "All About Love" are particularly well regarded for their accessibility and profound insights into love and feminism. Both books are considered seminal works that have influenced many readers and discussions about love and gender. Overall, bell hooks' contributions to literature and social thought continue to resonate, making her works relevant for contemporary discussions in feminism and beyond.Part 3 Communion Chapters"Communion: The Female Search for Love" by bell hooks explores the complex nature of love, particularly as it...

This week I dive into some of the work Freud wrote later in his life, particularly a book called Civilization and its Discontents published in 1930. Freud believed that the evolutionary process we can use to trace the changes humans have gone through over the centuries can also explain why culture itself has evolved as it has. He basically thinks we are all self-deceiving, chronically unfulfilled and unsatisfied bots programmed to lie to ourselves above all else, and to avoid feeling guilt or shame based on unavoidable urges we all have by lying to ourselves and everyone else about those urges existing. Instead we redirect them. Killing someone in revenge becomes laser tag this weekend. Driving 100mph like an asshole to work everyday becomes gokarts and beers on Friday night.

The contemporary era of black intellectual thought 1975 to the present is characterized by a growth in black feminist thought, an expansion of rainbow coalitions by prominent black leaders, an explosion of the black middle class and a black bourgeoisie, and an extension of black political, social, and cultural ideas by influential scholars and academics. In opposition to the New Left Movement, there was a significant rise in conservatism not just in America but throughout the globe. This led to a drastic decrease in liberal welfare programs as well as a decrease in the practical reliance on socialism: Booker T. Washington's ideology specifically concerning education became the norm in the contemporary era. This period also witnessed the rise of the New Jim Crow: a system of mass incarceration and control of millions of primarily poor black and brown people as evidenced by millions of dollars governmental investment in for-profit prisons throughout America. The eventual election of President Barack Obama was not only a call to transcend the partisan bickering of Washington, but his presidency stood as a symbol of black excellence against traditional social hierarchies of white supremacy. The feminist Barbara Smith at the 1980 Combahee River Collective argues that world changing revolution don't have to just redistribute resources, but they also must be pro-feminist and antiracist to be comprehensive enough to include the most historically marginalized people in the modern era, black women. Many feminist and male freedom fighters such as the black panthers, were political prisoners who have garnered immense support for freedom in the modern era. Furthermore, the seminal first black mayor of Chicago Harold Washington through his reform of the segregated city revealed its racist structure and sought to undermine it. Intellectual feminists such as Audre Lorde indicated the necessity of identifying the elements of the oppressor in the oppressed, while Dr. Bell Hooks sought to illustrate the hierarchies of race, class, and gender and how we can overcome them. This era also saw massive opposition to the South African Apartheid state that lasted for four decades by such black icons such as Randall Robinson and Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson's rainbow coalition from his run for presidency in the mid 1980s would foreshadow the rise of Barack Obama to the presidency in 2008, 20 years later. However, education perspectives would transform more than politics. Academic scholars would shift the consciousness of minority student towards a greater appreciation of education by moving away from Eurocentric models of learning. What scholars like Dr. West and politicians like President Obama would recognize is that political advancement is more seated in understanding the need for hope, meaning, and purpose rather than identifying elements of subjugation against black America. These ideas would be drawn from many black figures of the past such as academics like W.E.B. Du Bois and social reformers like Dr. King and President Abraham Lincoln.

From hoodies to hip-hop, from cultural influence to corporate boardrooms—your identity is your brand's greatest asset. In this Masterclass episode, Evante Daniels returns to unpack the power of authenticity in branding and how embracing your unique identity can translate into profitability. We explore the psychology behind brand confidence, the impact of personal style in professional spaces, and why cultural IP is one of the most undervalued assets in business.But here's the truth—if you don't tie your branding and positioning to ROI, the market won't either. Evante breaks down why companies cut diversity initiatives, why cultural branding often gets overlooked, and how Black entrepreneurs can strategically position themselves to not just be seen, but to drive revenue and business growth. It's not just about showing up—it's about making sure your presence is tied to measurable impact, market share, and long-term brand equity.We also break down real-world examples of cultural branding done right—from hip-hop moguls to streetwear legends—and how businesses can leverage their narratives to elevate influence, establish credibility, and turn cultural capital into actual capital.Whether you're a creator, executive, or entrepreneur, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your brand positioning, embrace your full identity, and ensure your brand isn't just culturally relevant—but financially powerful.Tap in for Part 3 of this powerful Masterclass with Evante Daniels! Listen to Part 1 of our conversation here.Listen to Part 2 of our conversation here.Beyond The Episode Gems:Follow Evante Daniels On LinkedIn For Creative & Brand Insights, Strategy, Content, & MemesInterested In Working With Evante and Seeqer?

Hey well-read baddies! This week we're back with another #Black365 minisode and are joined by Cecily (@CecilyAlexa)—singer, songwriter, and one of the 13,000 members of the recording academy. The Washington, DC native has a rich, soothing sound rooted in mid-century Soul and Jazz. Often drawing comparisons to Minnie Riperton and Amel Larrieux, her music is imbued with a unique sensuality that informs not only her vocal approach, but also her self-reflecting lyrics. Cecily has been heralded for her poetic writing style. Grounded in an easy vulnerability, her lyrics speak of deep lessons around self-acceptance, freedom, community and love. We dive into her creative process, how All About Love by Bell Hooks shaped her latest project, and why music is basically a spell (so choose your bops wisely). 01:52 Introduction and Shout Out Corner 3:42 Coffee Break 31:03 Get into the Guest Books mentioned and recs- https://bookshop.org/shop/shewellread We can't wait to hear from you! :) Please send any questions or comments about this episode to shewellread@gmail.com or use the form at the bottom of the SWR Podcast page: https://www.shewellread.com/contact OR leave us a Voice Note at https://www.speakpipe.com/shewellread‬ Follow SHE WELL READ!

Listen to a conversation with pianist Elham Fanoos of the Fanoos Ensemble, a unique family group that blends the folk and popular music of Afghanistan with Western classical instrumentation. The Fanoos Ensemble will be performing in Central Indiana on January 25.  Elham Fanoos was born in Afghanistan in 1997. During that time, music was banned under Taliban rule. But Elham's father, Ahmad Fanoos, a well-known singer and television personality in Afghanistan, nurtured his son's musical talent. Elham started out on the tabla drum but later switched to the piano after watching YouTube videos of the classical music legend Vladimir Horowitz. Elham recently released his debut album with the Fanoos Ensemble, titled Echoes of Afghanistan. Also, hear a conversation with vocalist and songwriter Lindsay Littrell. Lindsay is the creative force behind LITTRELL, an Indianapolis-based music duo formed with the multi-instrumentalist and engineer Garrett Langebartels. LITTRELL's debut album Public Love was released last year. The album features a distinctive blend of dark pop, alt-rock, and trip-hop music, along with conceptual elements inspired by activist Cornell West and writer Bell Hooks.

Redefining Masculinity: hooks argues that traditional definitions of masculinity are harmful. She advocates for a redefinition that allows men to embrace vulnerability, emotional expression, and love without fear or shame.2.

This week, we're having a herstory moment! Professor and Chair of the Africana Studies Department at Wellesley College Dr. Kellie Carter Jackson joins the show this week to talk Black abolitionists and resistance. We get to know civil rights leader Mabel Williams, spouse and partner of Robert F. Williams, and how she and her husband mobilized Black folks to take up arms and defend themselves in the face of extreme racism in the sixties. We start off with a moment for the cover of Professor Carter Jackson's forthcoming book We Refuse. It features Soldier of Love, not Sade's chart topper, but the beautiful and poignant painting by Brooklyn-based artist Taha Clayton.Disclaimer: While we're happy that gun violence has overall decreased in the United States, it continues to be troubling. We're conscious of how intense gun debates can get and want to stress that this conversation explores how communities took up arms in self-defense against lethal racism. We are not advocating for general gun violence.Remoy introduces Mabel and Robert Williams via their infamous black and white Bonnie and Clyde photo.Prof Carter Jackson breaks down the Williams' approach to self-defense. Robert F. Williams slept with a gun under his pillow to be ready to defend himself for the KKK's night rides: violent runs where Klan member went into Black communities, attacked folks and raided homes.Our guest stresses that though someone likeDr. Martin Luther King preached nonviolence and preferred it, he kept an arsenal of weapons in his home to be ready for self-defense against racist assailants. He'd previously been attacked and firebombed and became ready.The Kissing Case in Monroe, NC is a turning point for the Williamses.In 1958, James Thompson and David Simpson are respectively 9 and 7 years of age. They are playing in the neighborhood when one of the white girls kisses each of them on this cheek. This instance erupts into these young Black boys being accused of rape and arrested. They are beaten and isolated from their parents.Carter Jackson lends context for how terrifying this situation was for these young boys in a warzone-like environment and especially at that age.Remoy shares a few clips from an Oprah WInfrey Show interview in which James Thompson and David Simpson, now adults, recount the horrifying experience.Mabel and Robert make plans to defend their community by mobilizing their community into a rifle club including 60 members of all genders. They became NRA members.Mabel even protected her home from police officers coming into their home without a warrant.Carter Jackson stressed the importance of people knowing the law and arming themselves with that knowledge.Swimming pools were the sight of a lot of child drownings.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel recounting how she and Robert advocated for Black children to use pools safely.While Robert still erred on the side of nonviolent resistance, Mabel was adamant that not using guns for defense was akin to suicide. She even let her sons participate in the resistance, which highlights an important point about how violence and protection aren't as strictly masculine as we sometimes think of them as.Carter Jackson emphasizes Black women's role in community protection. The lack of protection they've historically received has made rise to the occasion of being their own protectors and protectors of the community.[Black women] have never been allowed to occupy the space of the damsel in distress. They've always been seen as undeserving of protection.Mabel knew how the presence of guns was enough to deter potential violence. And she was right. Violence severely deescalated.Carter Jackson stresses the importance of Mabel and Robert's partnership because Robert tends to get all the credit for these efforts.Remoy shares a clip of Mabel describing how she didn't necessarily want the credit but just wanted to do the work.Carter Jackson and Samantha have a moment about the importance of highlighting all the people in the resistance and give credit where it's due. Black women have always been soldiers in the resistance and that should be common knowledge.Racism is not the only thing folks were fighting. Violent sexism must also be challenged and that calls for women's leadership.Carter Jackson brings up Rosa Parks's home being a fortress of guns. Fannie Lou Hammer was also ready to use violent force to defend herself.Black woman in general were aware of how powerful guns were even if they didn't shout it from the rooftops. The gun was enough to make their position known.In our Five Questions segment, Professor Kellie Carter Jackson distills women's anger and they can use it as a driving force. Our guest shares how anger is a big driving force for a lot of her work.She stresses the importance of reparations, not just monetarily, but how do we repair the hurt and destabilization Black communities have endured?Carter Jackson breaks down how she arrived at the title of her forthcoming book, We Refuse.Refusal is the why of resistance.bell hooks has a famous quote about Black men and white women being one stage away from the ultimate social power: white men's power.Samantha asks how Black men and masculine people can champion partnership and women's leadership in the resistance. Carter Jackson delivers a textbook-worthy answer. (48:02)We close out with a great note on how to get to liberation. Dr. Carter Jackson stresses how binaries and individualism pigeon-hole us away from collective freedom. She envisions how to move past that. Thanks for listening!
