This week we reach back into the archive for our first visit from Dr. Mary Hicks to talk about the brilliance of Master and Commander and to talk with Mary about her research into African Mariners in the South Atlantic. About our guest:Mary Hicks is a historian of the Black Atlantic, with a focus on transnational histories of race, slavery, capitalism, migration and the making of the early modern world. Her first book, Captive Cosmopolitans: Black Mariners and the World of South Atlantic Slavery, 1721-1835, reimagines the history of Portuguese exploration, colonization and oceanic commerce from the perspective of enslaved and freed black seamen laboring in the transatlantic slave trade. As the Atlantic world's first subaltern cosmopolitans, black mariners, she argues, were integral in forging a unique commercial culture that linked the politics, economies and people of Salvador da Bahia with those of the Bight of Benin.

Josh Kirkman, CEO of Surfers for Climate is our guest today. Surfers for Climate is an Australian charity dedicated to turning the tide on climate change. Since it was founded in October 2019, it has inspired the collective power of surfers through initiatives like the successful Fight for the Bight campaign in South Australia and more recently the Draw a line in the Sand campaign that successfully contributed the NSW Parliament unanimously passing amendments to legislation that will ban all offshore oil and gas in NSW waters for good. Surfers for Climate continues to grow, with thousands of people from the surfing community across Australia coming together to take off on the party wave of climate action and become part of the solution to the climate crisis.  Josh became CEO of the organisation in 2021. He has a history in climate communications in the Nordic Cleantech Investment space as well as a sporting history in competitive bodyboarding, earning multiple Australian Championship titles as well as being a highly-ranked competitor on the global stage. He is passionate about affecting change in the diverse and growing surf community, focussed on leading this community towards greater political agency for people and planet. You're going to love this episode, from learning about Josh's personal journey to understanding the many different and inclusive ways that Surfers for Climate are educating and supporting the surfing community to take meaningful climate action. And also representing the community to advocate for changes like the recent NSW legislation banning all offshore oil and gas drilling. As Josh says – the reality is surfers could decide every election.   Interview Highlights: Josh's environmental awakening and career journey Overcoming imposter syndrome Surfers for Climate vision, mission and legislative impact Diverse representation in surfing  Surfers for Climate Programs: Wave Changer and Trade Up The PEP 11 fight The intersection of politics and conservation Josh's five year dream   Connect with Josh and Surfers for Climate: Josh on Linkedin Surfers for Climate website

This week Mary Hicks and Margari Hill drop in to talk all things DUNE. We focus on Dune Part 2 but also talk about the historical influences on Frank Herbert as he wrote Dune, along with how Dune influenced the science fiction and fantasy that came afterward.  We talk about the parallels between the fictional universe and historical events, such as the Ottoman Empire and the interactions between European powers and Indigenous communities. We also get into the portrayal of whiteness in the film and the complexities of women's roles and agency within the narrative. We dive into the egalitarianism in the Fremen world and the infiltration of outside values. The depiction of female spirituality and the complexity of women characters are discussed. The casting and representation in the film, particularly in relation to Middle Eastern culture, are examined. Mary and Margari also touch on the historical resonances and sensitivity in the film. The difference between a cautionary tale and a hopeful vision is explored. This conversation is one of the best we've ever had on this podcast and I hope you like it.About our guests:Mary Hicks is a historian of the Black Atlantic, with a focus on transnational histories of race, slavery, capitalism, migration and the making of the early modern world.

The numbers speak for themselves, and they paint a concerning picture. Recent data reveals a significant decline in the Chesapeake striped bass stock. Yet, an often overlooked fact is the thriving Hudson Striped Bass Stock, which is currently experiencing record highs.Given the alarming situation in the Chesapeake, the Striped Bass Management Board is poised to take severe measures. Unfortunately, this typically translates to restrictions for the recreational angler.Currently, New York's coastline is buzzing with anglers catching an impressive number of large bass, a sight I haven't witnessed in my three and a half decades in fisheries management. Meanwhile, the board convenes today to determine their next steps.New York's anglers have been diligent, taking necessary actions to safeguard the Hudson Striped Bass fishery. Their efforts, from conserving menhaden to regulating commercial quotas and transitioning away from J hooks, have clearly paid off in ensuring the fish's survival upon release.Given these distinct scenarios, should we consider managing these fisheries as two separate entities? It seems only just that New York's anglers enjoy the fruits of their labor without bearing the brunt of Chesapeake's challenges.It's undeniable: the majority of the bass in the Bight each year are migrating to the Hudson. This flourishing fishery is essentially under a de facto moratorium due to the minimal slot size permitted for catches.We've upheld our end of the bargain; now, let us fish. It's crucial to acknowledge and reward anglers for their commitment to reviving New York's striped bass fishery.

We're here at American Clean Power 2023 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and we have a couple of special guests this week. But right now we have Greg Poulos from ArcVera, and Greg is the CEO and principal atmospheric scientist with ArcVera, which is based in Colorado. Greg, welcome to the program and the. Thank you. We really wanted to have you on because, because we had Jessica on about a year ago. Mm-hmm. In San Antonio. Yep. At ACP in 2022. The data and the information and the analysis Arc Vera does is outstanding. You stand apart from a lot of the other atmospheric companies and because you're doing predictive aerodynamic assessments of wind farms and the, the one that was big last year was the Bight. At the New York Bight on the leases and what kind of power production you were going to see out of those wind sites. Because the prediction was one thing from the operators, potentially, I think the Equinor Orsteds of the world, and what you were coming up with is like, well, maybe not as good as, as we have wanted it to be. Maybe a deeper dive here. Yeah. And mostly be due to wakes and interference and the way that the, the winds are pushing. So the. The auction areas are not optimized for wind. Right. So you wanna describe some of the process you, you have gone through and, and what information you've found about the winds, particularly in the bite area. What's new there? What are, what are the winds really gonna be in the bite when they all, all these wind turbines are installed out in,  Greg Poulos: in the waters? Yeah. Yeah. So, The study we presented last year was more preliminary than what we're presenting this year, where we looked at the long term effects on energy production. Mm-hmm. Right. From the three lease areas of key importance that were auctioned in the, the last Boeing auction, 4.2 billion was spent. Big money. Yeah. Yeah. You know, leasing those. And so we wanted to look at the potential lost revenue associated with the misorientation of. Of those three lease areas, we call this the Misorientation penalty. Right. Yeah. So if they had instead oriented those lease areas north, south, they wouldn't interfere with each other as much. They picked southwest to northeast and the wind happens to blow from southwest to northeast. Yeah. And so the Southwestern most lease area wakes the next one. And those two together wake the third one, which is most heavily affected. And in this year's version of, of taking that study further, we found that's between a half billion in loss revenue, conservatively calculated for the, the two that are in the Northeastern most This is unexpected, but it comes from this new technique that we validated called Windfarm Parameterization modeling. Okay. It's an extension of what's called mesoscale modeling, which is a numerical weather prediction method that we u have used for decade.

This week Mary Hicks and I dig into life at sea with Master and Commander (2003). This is one of my favorite films and a movie I love to teach with. Mary is a scholar of the Black Atlantic and knows far more about the slave trade and life onboard these ships than I could ever hope to learn. We're talking about the Napoleonic Wars, Crowe and Bettany, and Mary's work focusing in on the experiences of enslaved and freed Africans in the Portuguese part of the transatlantic slave trade. About our guest:Mary Hicks is a historian of the Black Atlantic, with a focus on transnational histories of race, slavery, capitalism, migration and the making of the early modern world. Her first book, Captive Cosmopolitans: Black Mariners and the World of South Atlantic Slavery, 1721-1835, reimagines the history of Portuguese exploration, colonization and oceanic commerce from the perspective of enslaved and freed black seamen laboring in the transatlantic slave trade. As the Atlantic world's first subaltern cosmopolitans, black mariners, she argues, were integral in forging a unique commercial culture that linked the politics, economies and people of Salvador da Bahia with those of the Bight of Benin.More broadly, she seeks to interrogate the multiplicity of connections between West Africa and Brazil through the lens of mutual cultural, technological, commercial, intellectual and environmental influences and redefine how historians understand experiences of enslavement and the middle passage. In addition to investigating the lives of African sailors, she also explores the cultural and religious sensibilities of enslaved and freed African women in living in 19th century Salvador da Bahia. Along these lines, her second book will detail the emergence and elaboration of new gendered and racialized subjectivities in the wake of Portugal's initiation of trade with West Africa in the fifteenth century.

Despite efforts to abolish slavery throughout Africa in the nineteenth century, the coercive labor systems that constitute "modern slavery" have continued to the present day. To understand why, Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine explores child trafficking, pawning, and marriages in Nigeria's Bight of Biafra, and the ways in which British colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik, and Ijaw populations mobilized children's labor during the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources that include oral interviews, British and Nigerian archival materials, newspaper holdings, and missionary and anthropological accounts, Chapdelaine argues that slavery's endurance can only be understood when we fully examine "the social economy of a child"—the broader commercial, domestic, and reproductive contexts in which children are economic vehicles. The Persistence of Slavery: An Economic History of Child Trafficking in Nigeria (U Massachusetts Press, 2021) provides an invaluable investigation into the origins of modern slavery and early efforts to combat it, locating this practice in the political, social, and economic changes that occurred as a result of British colonialism and its lingering effects, which perpetuate child trafficking in Nigeria today.

Despite efforts to abolish slavery throughout Africa in the nineteenth century, the coercive labor systems that constitute "modern slavery" have continued to the present day. To understand why, Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine explores child trafficking, pawning, and marriages in Nigeria's Bight of Biafra, and the ways in which British colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik, and Ijaw populations mobilized children's labor during the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources that include oral interviews, British and Nigerian archival materials, newspaper holdings, and missionary and anthropological accounts, Chapdelaine argues that slavery's endurance can only be understood when we fully examine "the social economy of a child"—the broader commercial, domestic, and reproductive contexts in which children are economic vehicles. The Persistence of Slavery: An Economic History of Child Trafficking in Nigeria (U Massachusetts Press, 2021) provides an invaluable investigation into the origins of modern slavery and early efforts to combat it, locating this practice in the political, social, and economic changes that occurred as a result of British colonialism and its lingering effects, which perpetuate child trafficking in Nigeria today.

In Emergent Masculinities: Gendered Power and Social Change in the Biafran Atlantic Age (Ohio University Press, 2019), Ndubueze L. Mbah argues that the Bight of Biafra region's Atlanticization—or the interaction between regional processes and Atlantic forces such as the slave trade, colonialism, and Christianization—between 1750 and 1920 transformed gender into the primary mode of social differentiation in the region. He incorporates over 250 oral narratives of men and women across a range of social roles and professions with material culture practices, performance traditions, slave ship data, colonial records, and more to reveal how Africans channeled the socioeconomic forces of the Atlantic world through their local ideologies and practices. The gendered struggles over the means of social reproduction conditioned the Bight of Biafra region's participation in Atlantic systems of production and exchange, and defined the demography of the region's forced diaspora. By looking at male and female constructions of masculinity and sexuality as major indexes of social change, Emergent Masculinities transforms our understanding of the role of gender in precolonial Africa and fills a major gap in our knowledge of a broader set of theoretical and comparative issues linked to the slave trade and the African diaspora.

In previous episodes of SINK, a series exploring subsidence and evictions in New Orleans, we've talked about the plight of landlords and tenants, an already fraught situation exacerbated by the pandemic. For this episode, I want to address Environmental Eviction. When the land is no longer habitable and people are forced to move. But what causes this change? I talked to local artists and activists John Taylor and Monique Verdin for their perspective. This is the Antenna Signals Podcast, a podcast exploring the people and ideas that flow into and out of New Orleans. We're on Episode 4 of our Series on Evictions and Subsidence. This is SINK:: Episode 4::It Belongs to You. Thank you to Monique Verdin and John Taylor.

Land Acknowledgement by Monique Verdin, Houma Nation, 2021 Juneteenth "There would be no land to acknowledge upon which you now rest if it were not for the Mississippi River. Indigenous Peoples have respected this ever-shifting fluid state at the end of one of the world's largest river systems, inhabiting the high grounds, along the bayous of Bvlbancha, for centuries, as long as there has been land in these territories. Bvlbancha, “place of many tonges” as the Chahta called it, a place of many languages, know better as the global port city rebranded as New Orleans. Ancestral and current Indigenous stewards of these lands and waters, are Chahta, Chitimatcha, Houma, Biloxi, Washa, Chawasha, Bayougoula, Tchoupitoulas, Tunica, Atakapa-Ishak, Caddo, Natchez, Acolapissa, Taensa, and other nations; And all those nations that were erased or assimilated before colonial records had a change to document their existence. The Atakapa-Ishak called these high grounds, where a crossroads of waterways provide access to sites of sacred trade and ceremony ‘the big village,' Nun Ush. A territory of biological and cultural diversity, where water travels through, looking to be purified as it makes its water cycle journey back to the sea or skies. This place is also where many People from Senegambia, the Blight of Benin, Bight of Biafra, and West-Central Africa and other African Nations were brought against their will, enslaved upon these lands. A place were Immigrants and Indigenous peoples from around the world have found and continue to find themselves, due to desires for a better life or nonnegotiable destinies, in this complicated and infinitely beautiful powerpoint on the planet known in the Lower Mississippi River Delta."

"An injury to one, an injury to all" is the predominant philosophy that informed Africa's continent. In our coexisting community, a child is being raised by the parents and by the people. And despite all cultural differences among the people, the mastery of the water in West Africa as everywhere else was an important development for early man's knowledge of the rest of his environment. The many rivers, the incredible lagoons, and even the stormy ocean offered livelihood and communication. The Trans-Atlantic slave trade took a passage through PANYA — [ Fernando Po' (The Spanish plantation island) now known as "Malabo" the capital of Equatorial Guinea ] — into the Bight of Biafra (Eastern Nigeria) in search of labour, as the shortage and coercive recruitment of labour was particularly intense on the Spanish plantation island. [ The so-called "Labour Question" A well-known obsession pervading the archives of Africa was posed by colonial rulers as a calculated question of scarcity and coercion ] However, the labour recruitments were said to be successfully constructed by the aligned "Mediators” of kinship, ethnicity, money, law, commodities, and administration." In this episode, we interviewed a historian in Calabar who gave anecdotes on; Domestic slavery; a medium of exchange where families willingly gave out their sons to another for a given period to repay specific debts. Why the "Union Jack" took over Fernando Po' from preceding colonial authorities. Why our skin color should be our center point for self-mastery, tracing our heritage, and understanding our uniqueness. The idea of Christianity and how it was able to gain popularity over many African traditions and beliefs.

This is an extra “out take” episode from my interview with Lyndon Schneiders.  At the end of our conversation, we started talking about one particular campaign that Lyndon was involved with at the Wilderness Society. This is the campaign to keep big oil out of the Great Australian Bight. Lyndon explains the thinking behind the campaign's initial success to keep BP from starting drilling. When we recorded the interview, we talked about the latest phase of the campaign which was focused on stopping the Norwegian state owned company Equinor from its exploration attempts. The great news is that Equinor has pulled out, after the Wilderness Society, together with its alliance partners, mounted court proceedings to challenge the company's approval to drill in the Bight. This was such a big win for nature.  [This episode was produced by the brilliant Dale Willis, founder of PodStream.me]

Australian surfing legends Layne Beachley and Mick Fanning join Natalie Peters and Erin Molan to discuss the latest Fight for the Bight protests and what the cause means to them. The national protest held by the Great Australian Bight Alliance saw more than 10,000 people join 50 paddle-out protests all around Australia from Perth to Townsville. Protesters participated in numerous ways from cleaning up mock oil spills in Adelaide to hanging banners off of Victor Harbor Cliffs. The protests target Norwegian oil giant Equinor, who wants to drill to a depth of just over 2km, about 370km off-shore. The area is home to some of the most beautiful and rare marine life in the world, in fact, more than 85% of species are not found anywhere else.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
