2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the US and its allies invading Iraq under the pretence to remove dictator Saddam Hussein and his apparent ‘weapons of mass destruction'. One of the most controversial and divisive military campaigns of the modern era, the legalities of the war are still debated today. Two decades later, the Iraq War continues to have a profound impact on global politics, military strategy, and the lives of those who were involved.In this episode, James welcomes back Ben Barry, who oversaw an official British military analysis of the Iraq War, to reflect on this event. Ben provides a comprehensive overview of the conflict, exploring the political and historical context that led to the invasion, the military strategy employed by the US and its allies, and the complex and evolving nature of urban conflict on the ground. So how did this conflict change the modern world, and what can we learn 20 years on?Tickets are still available for James' talk here.Ben's new book is available here. Hosted on Acast.

I don't think of my podcast as being about TEEN PEOPLE magazine: it's about my guests, and why they were in TEEN PEOPLE, and what they're up to now in their 30s and 40s. But January 2023 is the 25th anniversary of TEEN PEOPLE, so I thought I'd celebrate with an episode featuring a few of the guests I've interviewed since I started this podcast in the spring of 2020! TEEN PEOPLE was founded in 1998, and was published until 2006. While their bread and butter was celebrities, their heart and soul was “real teen content". Where are these "real teens" now? That's the premise of this podcast. (If you love this idea as much as I do, leave a rating or review!) In the 2000s, content by and for "real people" took off. From Tavi Gevinson's Style Rookie, to reality TV, and Humans of New York, people were hungry for media in which they could see themselves. TEEN PEOPLE helped popularize that trend with their own focus on real teens. (Remember: this was before social media made it possible to reach a global audience with the tap of a button!) This episode features clips from my first two seasons, including interviews with Caron Levis, Gennie Gorback, Robin Knudsen, Zena Burns, Dr. Ben Barry, and James Frankie Thomas. You can find their episodes in seasons one and two of Teen People! Notes: Intro music: RomanBelov on Pixabay Outro music (edited for length): Fog Lake, 'Roswell'.

The shock and surprise expressed by Western politicians after Russia's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine heralded reviews of defence policies across Europe. The UK was amongst those states that committed to refresh their policies in light of Russian actions – a process that is underway and due to produce recommendations sometime in early 2023. Ben Barry talks to Peter about some of the inconvenient truths that have got to be addressed, and what needs to change. While the discussion is largely UK centric, the same considerations are valid in many European capitals.

"We made it, we're in the Ottawa Citizen!" Dr. Ben Barry is Dean of Fashion at Parsons School of Design in New York. When he was fourteen, Ben founded a modelling agency in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada. Realizing there was an untapped market for models of all sizes, Ben made a name for himself as an agent for models of all sizes. Ben's agency initially supplied models for the local newspaper, which quickly became his biggest champion. Then TEEN PEOPLE gave him a call. In March 2001, they celebrated Ben on their annual list of "20 Teens Who Will Change the World". This caught the attention of Oprah Winfrey, who featured the 18-year-old on her talk show. As an adult, Ben shifted into a career in fashion education. He has a BA from the University of Toronto, and degrees from Cambridge University, where his PhD research demonstrated a business case for size diversity in fashion and beauty advertising. Over the past few years, Ben has worked at Ryerson University in Toronto, where he was Chair of Fashion, and Founding Director of the Centre for Fashion Diversity and Social Change. He remains an Associate Professor of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, in the School of Fashion at Ryerson. Ben spoke with me in the spring of 2021, from his country home west of Kingston, Ontario. Podcast notes: Ben is the co-founder and co-editor of Fashion Studies, an open access, academic journal, which you can find here: www.fashionstudies.ca. Find me online: www.annasoper.ca.

Death by outfit isn't something featured in the game of Clue but it could be. Our ancestors lured to the new bright colors of the nineteenth century wore garments poisoned with arsenic and mercury, perhaps hurrying along their deaths. Not that you're likely to see that as a cause on a death certificate. These garments continue to be harmful to curators today with long lasting toxins. You've probably never thought about fashion history as a dangerous profession, but this episode will change your mind. My guest is a fashion historian who studies toxic fashion and now clothing adaptations worn by a criminal element. Both topics are fascinating glimpses into what our ancestors wore, why they wore them, and the effects of doing so.

The truth universally acknowledged is that Western militaries seem to deliberately discard useful experience faster than they can accumulate it. Changing such a process in a way that builds better military capability requires leadership, not management. Such lessons can be learned faster under fire, according to Ben Barry in this conversation with Peter Roberts.
In this episode of Dressing Woman, writer Vanessa Rosales interviews education pioneer and revolutionary Dr. Ben Barry, Chair of Fashion at Ryerson, recently appointed Dean of the School of Fashion at Parsons School of Design. In his working years, Dr. Barry has made a changemaking case for a fashion that seeks to include social justice, equity and diversity. This has meant bridging the gap between academic knowledge and the industry as well as reshaping academic curriculums to include non-binary fashion, gender studies, race studies, decolonization, sustainability. His work has amply explored the intersectional experiences of disabled, fat, trans and queer people, and he has collaborated with them to co-design clothing and fashion media. His leadership has also movilized education programs that focus on anti-racist and inclusive fashion practices for global brands.In this enlightening conversation, they discuss his path, the ways in which the fashion industry can show receptiveness for a more diverse and inclusive practice; the meanings of decolonization; the ways in which the program about to begin at Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano, in Colombia, directed by Rosales reflects and synchronizes with a lot of the luminosity Dr. Barry is bringing to the field of fashion.It's also a dialogue filled with valuable information for a Latin American audience interested in the critical study of fashion and the production of situated and contextual knowledge. His is an incomparable light for the present and future of fashion.
This weeks guest is Ben Barry. He is a freelance Visual Designer currently in Portland OR. Ben was also one of the first Communication Designers to join Facebook in the early days and is the Co-Founder of Facebooks Analog Research Lab. During this episode we do a deep dive into two book projects. The first one is a different perspective on a book I talked about back in Episode 25 with Tim Belonax. This booklet had a tight timeline, a team working on it, and loads of special print effects. The second project we talk about is for Airbnb about a very special home in Japan. The Yoshino Cedar House. Much like the home in which it is about, the booklet was very well thought out, put together over a longer period of time, and uses incredible materials.

Episode Notes Everybody gets dressed—but how can fashion be a tool of social justice? This week, Kayla and Kristina sit down with Dr. Ben Barry, Chair of Fashion at Ryerson University. We talk about how we can imagine fashion beyond ‘the ideal body,' how Ben and others are working to diversify fashion education, and how we can crip fashion, meaning create desirable clothes made by and for disabled people. We speak about how a co-created relaxed fashion show came together through education and Instagram prowess, how Ben's current research project, Cripping Masculinity, has adapted during COVID-19, and how access to fashion is access to life: to employment, community, desire, and safety. Ben talks about who he looks to in fashion justice leadership. We wrap up this conversation by noting how joy is found both when we take off our shoes, and when our institutions make systemic change. Curl up with your favourite quarantine attire, and prepare to ask yourself some deep questions about how and why we all wear what we do.

The third episode was recorded in Toronto, Canada, in September 2019, where I organized the sixth annual Canadian Fashion Symposium. Every year, I find a hosting institution (usually a museum that has a fashion or a textile collection, or a fashion school or university in Canada – and I try to alternate the Eastern and Western parts of the country). Collaboratively, I organize the annual Symposium that is meant to bring together fashion scholars, curators, practitioners, and fashion professionals to build a community, present new research, organize workshops and discussion panels, network, and collaborate on academic and creative projects to promote Fashion Studies across Canada. This year, the Fashion Symposium was hosted by the School of Fashion at Ryerson University in Toronto, and I have to thank Sandra Tullio-Pow for being such an amazing collaborator, host, and organizer! My goal for this year’s Symposium was to document some of the work conducted at the Centre for Fashion Diversity & Social Change (FDSC), co-founded by Ben Barry and Alison Matthews David. I wanted to interview some of the members this Centre and ask them about their current work. In this episode, you will hear a brief interview with Romana Mirza, who will introduce the Centre, her own projects, as well as the work of her colleagues. Then, you will hear a panel recorded at the Symposium, where Romana Mirza, Sandra Tullio-Pow, Presley Mills, and Henry Navarro Delgado talk about their various projects conducted at the Centre. And at the end of the Symposium, I also had a chance to briefly interview Jaclyn Marcus and Alison Matthews David about the open-access, academic journal, Fashion Studies, published annually by Ryerson University’s Centre for Fashion Diversity and Social Change, and co-founded by Alison Matthews David and Ben Barry. This online journal is available to all at no cost to readers or authors, and they are currently looking for submissions for their third issue.

Cambridge Judge Business School Discussions on Marketing & Strategy
Research by Dr Ben Barry, an Ogilvy Foundation scholar at Cambridge Judge Business School, into the way fashion brands use models reveals that women want those models, regardless of age or size, to inspire them with glamour, artistry and creativity, as opposed to stimulating just aspiration. His cross-cultural study of consumer response to size, age and race diversity in fashion advertising involving nearly three thousand women in North America, Canada and China also revealed strong cultural differences. In North America he found the practice of using only models who reflect the Western beauty ideal to be ineffective, whereas in China younger Chinese women actually increased purchase intention when they saw idealised Western models. Multi-regional approaches, explains Dr Barry, are therefore needed when developing successful advertising.
