Episode 93: The Transmission and Effectivity of the Ma’luf Tradition, an Andalusian Music within Tunisia and Libya In this podcast, Jared Holton discusses the transmission and effectivity of ma'luf, an Andalusian musical tradition of North Africa. Holton’s research project explores the historical and ethnographic circulations of Tunisian and Libyan ma'luf primarily through the tubu', which are recognized as stabilized structures of sound and identity. Jared has completed extensive fieldwork in Tripoli, Libya and Sfax, Tunisia. Other research interests include the connections between music, religion, and soundscapes; globalization and musical practices; and music pedagogy. Jared Holton is a doctoral candidate and Chancellor's Fellow in Ethnomusicology with an interdisciplinary emphasis in Global Studies at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB). He has undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano performance, intercultural studies, and music education, with over seven years experience teaching private and classroom-based music curricula. On the stage, his performances range from solo piano concerts, collaborative work in the Western Classical repertoire, and most recently as oud and vocal performer with the Middle East Ensemble at UCSB.  This interview was led by CEMAT Associate Director, Dr. Meriem Guetat, and was recorded on July 26, 2019, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT). We thank Jared Holton for his ma'luf oud performance for the introduction and conclusion of this podcast. Posted by Hayet Lansari, Librarian, Outreach Coordinator, Content Curator (CEMA).

How visual is the visual cortex? In this episode, Joe and Jeremy are joined by Dr. Nathalie Rochefort, Sir Henry Dale Fellow and Chancellor's Fellow at the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh to discuss why long-held views about the function of the visual cortex are being challenged today. Learn how Dr. Rochefort went from studying the history of sciences to making her own new discoveries and how new approaches are allowing her team and others to understand functions of the visual cortex beyond vision.

Episode Notes We had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Dave O'Brien, the Chancellor's Fellow in cultural and creative industries at the University of Edinburgh College of Art to discuss cultural policy and urban regeneration. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

This week, Natalie Lorimer speaks to Dr Elsa Richardson, Chancellor's Fellow in the History of Health and Wellbeing at Strathclyde and one of ten academics to be named a BBC Radio 3 and Arts and Humanities Research Council New Generation Thinker in 2018. Dr Richardson discusses her unique research interests, the New Generation Thinker application process, and her lifelong love of radio.

Working class actors: Laurie Taylor asks if acting is becoming an increasingly exclusive and elite profession. He talks to the actor Julie Hesmondhalgh and to Dave O'Brien, Chancellor's Fellow, Cultural and Creative Industries at the University of Edinburgh, and author of a new study which suggests that working class actors face increasing economic, as well as cultural obstacles, comparable to skydiving without a parachute. Also, class and classical music. Anna Bull, lecturer in the School of Social, Historical and Literary Studies at the University of Portsmouth, considers why this musical genre is seen as such a middle class preserve. Producer: Jayne Egerton.

In a programme first broadcast in 2017, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the development of theories about dinosaur feathers, following discoveries of fossils which show evidence of feathers. All dinosaurs were originally thought to be related to lizards - the word 'dinosaur' was created from the Greek for 'terrible lizard' - but that now appears false. In the last century, discoveries of fossils with feathers established that at least some dinosaurs were feathered and that some of those survived the great extinctions and evolved into the birds we see today. There are still many outstanding areas for study, such as what sorts of feathers they were, where on the body they were found, what their purpose was and which dinosaurs had them. With Mike Benton Professor of Vertebrate Palaeontology at the University of Bristol Steve Brusatte Reader and Chancellor's Fellow in Vertebrate Palaeontology at the University of Edinburgh and Maria McNamara Senior Lecturer in Geology at University College, Cork Producer: Simon Tillotson.

In this episode Olya Yordanyan talks to Emile Chabal [@emile_chabal], Chancellor's Fellow in History at the University of Edinburgh, about the uncertainty in Europe and about how to redefine the European project in a way that addresses people's disillusion and dissatisfaction with current political arrangements. Chabal contrasts the highly individualized conception of "choice" that emerged under neoliberalism with the collective choice on which Europe's future depends. [Date of interview: February 23, 2017]

While there has been an impressive groundswell of attention to sexual and gender-based violence in conflict research and in international advocacy, there has been little systematic analysis of how organizational power structures and local contexts inform the nature and dynamics of such violence. WAPPP Fellow, Zoe Marks, examines the intersecting dynamics of power and gender in armed groups in Africa by using her extensive research conducted on the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in Sierra Leone. Her study analyzes how context and power affect the dynamics of sexual and gender-based violence by looking at when and how women obtain power in armed groups and what their power tells us about the politics of violence. Speaker: Zoe Marks, WAPPP Fellow, 2014; Chancellor's Fellow, Centre of African Studies, University of Edinburgh
