In this episode, Professor Roddy Brett, Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies and Director of the Global Insecurities Centre at the University of Bristol, joins Dr Nafees Hamid, Co-PI of the XCEPT research programme, to discuss his new book, ‘Victim-Centred Peacemaking: Colombia's Santos-FARC-EP Peace Process'. Professor Brett reveals how the victims' delegations changed the dynamics of the Santos-FARC-EP peace process, transforming victim-perpetrator relations and ultimately shaping the final agreement, which was signed in 2016. At a time when the number of civilian casualties in armed conflict is rising around the world, the Santos-FARC example offers valuable insights into how to effectively involve victims in peacemaking. Professor Brett's book is available from Bristol University Press: https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/victim-centred-peacemaking This episode has been produced as part of the Cross-Border Conflict Evidence, Policy and Trends (XCEPT) programme, which is funded by UK International Development from the UK government; however, the views expressed do not necessarily reflect the UK government's official policies. XCEPT aims to understand the drivers of violent and peaceful behaviour in conflict-affected populations – and to find solutions that support peace. Find out more at www.xcept-research.org

pecial Episode — Recorded live at the Oppenheimer Research Conference 2025. How do we build conservation models that work for both people and nature? In this eye-opening conversation, Lessah Mandoloma (Oxford) and Katie Mackenzie (Jamma Conservation & Communities) unpack the principles of human-centred conservation—a framework that challenges siloed thinking, brings communities into decision-making, and addresses the real trade-offs that shape conservation outcomes. They explore: • Why conservation must start with honest conversations about power, rights, and benefits • How to break silos between health, climate, food systems and biodiversity • Why communities must be treated as partners, not passive beneficiaries • The importance of co-defining goals and returning research findings to communities A hopeful and practical roadmap for conservation that recognises humanity as part of nature—not outside of it.

We are assured of forgiveness, however we look for growth as a Christian in the struggle of ongoing sin. In these verses Paul gives a list, but the aim is not behavioural modification but a new self, a new identity. We are to look up to the Lord Jesus Christ, the resurrected Christ, seated in the place of honour. And we are raised with him. And we keep looking up to him.

Paul is sounding the alarm about the Colossians being deceived by new ideas about adding to the gospel. Certain practices, food, festivals, self-denial, forms of worship, were being promoted and blended into the church, but Paul exposes and calls them out. Paul brings them back to Jesus - we are made complete through him and he is the fullness of God, nothing extra needed, no "Jesus plus". So what do we listen to? Rules that are only shadows of reality? Jesus Christ himself is that reality.

We are rooted in Christ – that is a fact – so how then do we live? We are to allow Jesus to be Lord over all aspects of our lives. We are to build each other up so that we might all become mature in our faith. We are to overflow with thankfulness, both towards God and towards each other.

“We are now the Global Anglican Communion,” says Archbishop Laurent Mbanda — the Chair of Gafcon, Primate of Rwanda, and leader of Global Anglicans.Bible-believing Anglicans around the world are praising God today.The Anglican Communion is being reordered — reset — with the Bible once again at its foundation.The Archbishop of Canterbury, the revisionists, and the so-called Canterbury Communion are out — they've repeatedly abandoned Cranmerian Anglicanism, and ultimately, Jesus himself.This reordering seeks to restore the Communion's original structure — a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation. There will be no communion with those who have abandoned the authority of Scripture.A new Council of Primates will be formed, electing a chairman to preside as primus inter pares — first among equals.Archbishop Mbanda is here in Sydney this week with a group of Primates and the founding fathers of Gafcon. Their informal consultations culminated in a clear and momentous statement — so significant that an online Global Primates Meeting was held at 11 p.m. Sydney time last night to ratify the decisions made.Many of those leaders are now on planes heading home.

Jesus shows us God, as he is the image of the invisible God, and in his humanity he shows us ourselves. But what about the many ways in our culture that people seek to deal with their needs? For Christians it really is "all the eggs in one basket". Jesus is supreme. We belong to him, his name is written on our soul and we find peace when we acknowledge him. So are we as completely centred on Jesus, as he is the centre of all things? We have an invitation to be free from all accusation, dearly loved, and to grow into our identity and all the blessings that come with it.

Sermon preached at ROCK City Church Melbourne by Pastor Ferdinand Haratua

Our identity is given by God, not others or even ourselves. This identity is a gift from God because he loves us, and that our activity is a response, shaped by our identity. So, whatever our activity, we are encouraged to work at it from a place of peace, security and understanding; being reminded of who God is and what he has done in our lives.

CDW chief technologist Jaro Tomik joins host Sakari Kyrö to unpack two seismic shifts rocking enterprise IT: the rise of AI-washing and the pivot to experience-led service management. Hear how Jaro's “escape-room for IT” workshops flip roles, surface hidden bottlenecks and turn data visibility into a zero-ticket, proactive support vision—all while keeping people and productivity front-and-centre.Key Take-awaysBeware AI-washing. Almost every vendor now claims “AI,” so leaders must cut through marketing noise to find real value.Employee experience is the new compass. Human-centred design and continuous experience data now guide project prioritisation.Scenario workshops build cross-functional empathy. Role-swapping lets teams feel each other's pain, revealing blind spots safely.Service-desk reality is tough. Experiencing the frontline first-hand fosters respect and partnership between business and IT.Visibility requires three data lenses—technology, operational, experience. Only by merging all three can CIOs see true bottlenecks.A living roadmap tames VUCA change. A clear three-year vision anchors busy teams and retains talent.Automation + AI enable proactive, “zero-ticket” support. When IT knows device health and feelings up-front, users stay productive.External facilitation accelerates buy-in. An outside voice often unlocks trust and momentum that internal teams struggle to spark.Resources & Links mentionedJaro Tomik on LinkedIn – connect for daily enterprise-service-management insights https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarotomikCDW Enterprise Service Management – learn how CDW guides large enterprises through experience-led transformation https://www.cdw.com/Scenario-Based IT Workshops (Sunburst Simulations) – explore the escape-room-style workshop framework Jaro runs https://sunburst-simulations.com/Subscribe to our newsletter:LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/it-experience-insights-6996053129205026816/⁠Email: ⁠https://happysignals.com/itxm-insights

Katie Kitamura joins Adam Biles to discuss her remarkable novel Audition. Centred on a middle-aged actress whose settled life is upended by a young man claiming to be her son, Audition blurs the lines between performance, identity, and narrative certainty. Kitamura reflects on the novel's dual structure—a “rabbit-duck” ambiguity—and her fascination with roles we perform in relationships, particularly within marriage and family. The conversation explores the mutability of identity, the ethical power of embracing contradiction, and the unique capacity of the novel to hold multiple truths simultaneously. Kitamura also discusses craft, genre, and the challenges of maintaining ambiguity without sacrificing narrative tension. An essential listen for readers drawn to fiction that resists easy answers and revels in complexity.Buy Audition: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/audition-3Katie Kitamura is the author of five novels, including Intimacies, named one of the 10 Best Books of 2021 by the New York Times. It was also one of Barack Obama's favourite books of the year, and was longlisted for a National Book Award and a PEN/Faulkner Award and was a finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize. Kitamura's novel A Separation was a New York Times Notable Book. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and is being adapted for film and television.

In this follow‑up episode, veterinary surgeon Dr Elizabeth Ormerod BVMS, Chair of the Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS), returns to explore two additional pillars of her four‑decade career: campaigning for companion-animal‑inclusive housing and creating one of the UK's first companion-animal‑loss support programmes within general practice.Dr Ormerod explains how grass‑roots advocacy in Fleetwood challenged local “no‑pets” policies and sparked a wider conversation about companion animals in social housing, eventually leading to national debate. We also look at her bond‑centred approach to end‑of‑life care, growth charts, early behaviour counselling, and multidisciplinary bereavement teams designed to support both clients and veterinary staff.Along the way Dr Ormerod discusses strategies for preventing compassion fatigue, the importance of community networks, and why affordable, flexible payment schemes remain crucial as corporate vet ownership expands.Please subscribe to get notified about our next podcast!Follow us on X: ⁠⁠@TheAnthrozoopod⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook:  ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/anthrozoopod/⁠⁠ Follow us on TikTok⁠⁠ @anthrozoology_⁠⁠To access audio versions please our official Website: ⁠⁠https://anthrozoopod.wixsite.com/anthrozoopod⁠⁠ Podlet GuestDr Elizabeth Ormerod⁠https://www.scas.org.uk/about/governance-and-staff/elizabeth-ormerod/⁠PodCrew Dr. Kris Hill PhD Candidate, University of Exeter⁠⁠⁠tinehill@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://katzenlife.wordpress.com/⁠⁠⁠ Dr. Michelle Szydlowski⁠⁠⁠michelle@szyd.me⁠⁠⁠⁠www.internationalelephants.org⁠⁠⁠@intl_elephants Sarah Oxley Heaney PhD Candidate, University of Exeter⁠kissingsharks@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠www.kissingsharks.com/⁠⁠

I don't know about you, but rest can be an elusive thing for me. I know I need it, I know I want it, but how do I actually get it? Enter Lou Perham who is rest-obsessed and has devoted her recent years as a Cyclical Living Mentor to helping people, and especially women get more rest. Today we start by exploring Lou's powerful personal story of the healing power of cycle awareness. When Lou was diagnosed with PCOS - polycystic ovarian syndrome - in her late 20s, she was crushed when her doctors told her that she was unlikely to be able to have children. Having always wanted to be a mother, she responded by trying several holistic healing approaches to heal her heavy, painful periods, eventually committing to a two-year Yoga teacher training which supported the regulation of her hormones, and also included teachings about menstrual cycle awareness. Wonderfully, a year after she started tracking her menstrual cycle she had pain-free bleeds and six months later she was pregnant with her son. This led to her joining Red School's Menstruality Leadership Programme, and since then, she has been applying the healing power of cycle awareness in a new way, using it to craft what she calls a rest-centred life, and guide others to do the same. We explore:Today she shares the ten types of rest we all need, and how to access more of them, including; physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual.  How Lou created her own map of self-care practices based on the inner seasons of her menstrual cycle, and it all started with the vital cycle awareness question; what do I need on this cycle day? How Lou practices cycle awareness and lives the wisdom of her cycle as a single working mother.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Is your child struggling with empathy, social skills, or thinking beyond their own wants? In this episode, Justin and Kylie Coulson tackle a question from a concerned parent about an 8-year-old who seems self-centred, struggles with friendships, and resists considering others' feelings. They break down key strategies to foster empathy, encourage connection, and navigate discipline without frustration. KEY POINTS: Why some children seem more self-focused than others. The role of personality, temperament, and developmental differences. The importance of listening over excessive explaining. Why "I don’t care" is often a defence mechanism. How to move from reactive discipline to problem-solving. The power of calm conversations outside of emotional moments. PERSONAL STORIES SHARED: Justin and Kylie reflect on their own parenting experiences, discussing how their children perceive and react to situations differently despite growing up in the same household. Insights from psychology on why siblings raised in the same family can have vastly different emotional and social responses. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "High emotions equal low intelligence. When kids (and parents) are emotionally heightened, it's not the time for lessons—it's time for connection." RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Three E’s of Effective Discipline (Explore, Explain, and Empower) The Happy Families website for parenting resources ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Observe and Listen—Instead of immediately correcting, try to understand why your child is acting this way. Create Calm Connection Moments—Have relaxed conversations over a treat to discuss social skills and feelings. Encourage Small Acts of Kindness—Model and praise thoughtful behaviour rather than just pointing out what's wrong. Use Open-Ended Questions—Instead of "Would you like it if someone did that to you?" Try "What do you think happened in that situation?" Be patient—growth in empathy and social awareness takes time. Stay consistent and supportive. It's easy to send us a question!
