Podcast appearances and mentions of chelsea watego

Friends! Comrades! Welcome to another episode of the Radio Reversal podcast, continuing our series on Disaster, Crisis & Collective Futures. If you haven't already listened to the first couple of episodes in this series - never fear! You can jump in fresh here, or head back and listen to Episode 12 - After the Flood & Episode 13 - Disaster Communism with Nick Southall. In these episodes, we chatted about weather events like Cyclone Alfred & what happens during “disasters”: how the parameters of political possibility shift, sometimes incrementally, and sometimes all at once. We talked about two very different expressions of these political ruptures: “disaster capitalism,” where corporations and the state use these events as opportunities to expand state and corporate power and to find new frontiers of capitalist exploitation, and “disaster communism,” in which communities self-organise to support one another, forge networks of mutual aid and care, and build a genuinely radical sense of “class power.”This week, Nat, Jonno & I (Anna) decided to focus a bit more on the way that these dynamics operate in the specific conditions of settler colonialism, especially here in so-called australia. We're engaging with these topics as settlers, living uninvited on unceded Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands, and this is perhaps part of why we are so interested in the way that crises operate as key moments in which settlers are brought into new forms of colonial complicity. In particular, we are digging into a concept that we've been talking about for a few years now: the idea of “crisis colonialism.” We use this as a shorthand way to think about how settler colonial states use periods of crisis - economic depressions, world wars, ecological disasters - as fuel for settler colonial nation-building. In listening back to and editing this week's episode, I realised (largely thanks to a generative conversation with Dr. Jamal Nabulsi, whose incendiary and vital work you can find here and here) that a lot of what we're thinking about in this episode is affect - how people feel during crises, and how those collective emotions are operationalised and weaponised for a variety of political projects. This is a key part of both “disaster capitalism” and “disaster communism,” which we dig into in more detail at the beginning of this episode. But affect is also an important part of our analysis of “crisis colonialism,” and especially the way that settler colonies use moments of crisis to manufacture and secure settler consent for colonial governance through a rotating set of strategies, ranging from fear-based moral panics through to the construction of ideas of “mateship” and community. So in this week's episode, we're looking closer at these dynamics. How exactly do settler colonial states take advantage of periods of crisis? How do these moments become repurposed as fuel for nation-building? How does “securitisation” and policing fit into this process? And as settlers who are engaged in communities of struggle and committed to disrupting settler colonialism… how can we ensure that our collective efforts in these moments don't become fuel for the colonial project that caused the crisis in the first place? This is a big, juicy episode, which means that we talk about (or reference) a bunch of important scholarship that helps us to understand the origins of colonial racial capitalism and the “disaster” horizon of the present. In kicking off with some belated “definitional work,” as Nat puts it, we start by sketching out a working understanding of “disaster capitalism.” We continue our chat about Naomi Klein's 2007 “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and her formative analysis of the way that corporations and states alike use periods of disaster, or “shocks,” to cultivate new “frontiers” to exploit. Klein talks about a number of examples of this phenomenon: from the ways that the destructive impacts of “natural disasters” like the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami can be used to create the conditions for massive land grabs and accelerated privatisation and development under the guise of “reconstruction”; through to the construction of an entire fear-based industry of “homeland security” after the 9/11 terror attacks in the US. We follow this with a very brief chat about Antony Loewenstein's (2015) Disaster Capitalism: Making a Killing out of Catastrophe, where he expands and updates Klein's analysis to trace the diverse ways that disasters have become “big business,” looking at - as he puts it - the way that “companies cash in on or­ganized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining.” A thread that we allude to in the podcast but don't extend is that these works are both interested in the affective impact of disasters on populations: the way that the confusion and “shock” of these events can be quickly turned into fear and suspicion which takes root within the established furrows of colonialism, racism and white supremacy; and which forms the basis of a new economy of privatised security, mass incarceration, and surveillance. Competing against this economy of fear, however, is a counter-economy of generosity, care and radical love that also takes root during disasters. We briefly return to Nick Southall's brilliant account of “disaster communism,” discussed at length in last week's show. We then turn our attention to the “permanent crisis” of settler colonialism, a phrase drawn from Robin D G Kelley's 2017 piece “Crisis: Danger, Opportunity & The Unknown,” in which he describes how colonial racial capitalism “produces something akin to a permanent state of crisis” because it is “built on fictions that must be constantly shored up, not for its victims but for those who stand to benefit.” We trace these contradictory fictions all the way back to the emergence of penal colonialism as a response to the crisis of prison overcrowding in Europe, drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, Cedric Robinson, Walter Rodney and Sylvia Federici to emphasise that penal colonialism was both a form of, and a factory for, crisis-management techniques. Finally, we reflect on the many, violent fictions that have been required to enable and sustain the settler colonial project in so-called australia. We draw here on the incredible body of work by First Nations scholars, including Mununjahli & South Sea Islander scholar Chelsea Watego, Darumbal and South Sea Islander scholar and journalist Amy McQuire, Amangu Yamatji theorist Crystal McKinnon, Yuin scholar and criminologist Amanda Porter, Meintagk & Tanganekald scholar Irene Watson, Gumbaynggirr historian Gary Foley and Goenpul scholar Aileen Moreton-Robinson (among many others!) to understand the foundational contradictions of settler colonialism, and why they create the conditions of “permanent crisis” here in so-called australia.From here, I draw out a point that I explore in my PhD thesis (supervised by Chelsea Watego, David Singh, Liz Strakosch & Alissa Macoun), in which I argued that Indigenous peoples' unceded sovereignty and persistent resistance to colonisation represents a foundational and irresolvable contradiction for settler colonial states, which renders them constantly on the precipice of political crisis. This foundational crisis leads settler colonial states to develop robust and sophisticated techniques of crisis-management, ranging from repressive apparatus of policing, prisons, surveillance and punitive systems of state control; through to piecemeal liberal concessions, reforms, and promises of “inclusion.” So what does this mean for how we approach the coming storm? We end this episode with some reflections on how we can build our collective ability to resist colonial complicity: how to refuse the promise of liberal reform; how to reject all attempts to narrow our care, grief and rage to those deemed “grievable” by the colonial state; and how we might work to align ourselves instead with everyone, everywhere, who is fighting to dismantle the colonial capitalist death machinery that causes the “permanent crisis” of the present.

If you've just found your way to our podcast and you're jumping in fresh, welcome to Episode 1.4 of the Justice for Palestine Magandjin podcast. This podcast aims to archive the ongoing movement for Palestinian liberation as it unfolds on the unceded lands of the Yuggera, Yugarapul, Jagera, Turrbal and Yugumbeh peoples, across so-called brisbane and the surrounding cities of south east queensland. In this episode, Globalise the Intifada, we pick up where we left off in Episode 1.3, by paying attention to the power and practice of Indigenous solidarity as it connects the struggle for Palestinian liberation with other movements against colonial occupation and exploitation in all its forms. As we listen back to speeches from rallies and public meetings, to interviews and discussions, we hear activists and organisers drawing clear connections between the intersecting genocidal systems of colonialism, capitalism, racism, heteropatriarchy, transphobia, and ableism that are operating with such destructive consequences in this moment. We open this episode with reflections from First Nations organisers on this continent, who find clear material and ideological connections between the experiences and struggles on this continent, and those unfolding through unthinkable violence in Gaza. We then trace the connections being drawn through the Justice for Palestine movement as they criss-cross the globe, creating the conditions of possibility for a mass solidarity movement grounded in the deep understanding that colonialism cannot be ended anywhere until it is uprooted everywhere. In order of voices in this episode, you'll hear Muslim solidarity activist and Queensland Muslim Inc. organiser Binil Mohideen, followed by President of the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network, Nasser Mashni, and then Justice for Palestine Magandjin organisers Malaak and Remah. Then you'll hear excerpts from Darumbal and South Sea Islander academic, journalist and writer Dr. Amy McQuire, First Nations poet and writer Cheryl Leavy, Noonuccal Ngugi writer and rapper Ethan Enoch, Mununjahli and South Sea Islander Professor Chelsea Watego, Palestinian writer, academic and organiser Dr. Jamal Nabulsi, Gamillaroi Kooma podcaster and activist Boe Spearim, and Yuin community organiser and current President of the Black People's Union, Kieren Stewert-Assheton. Next up, you'll hear Birri Gubba & Wanjiriburra activist and socialist organiser Sam Woripa Watson, Nasser Mashni again, then diaspora Tamil organiser, poet, musician and Greens candidate for Mayor of Brisbane, Jonathan Sriranganathan, followed by academic, writer and Afghan community organiser, Dr. Mujib Abid, (Jonathan Sriranganathan again), then diaspora Arab poet, writer and youth worker Lamisse Hamouda. Rounding out the episode, you'll hear Dr. Jamal Nabulsi again, followed by Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Black feminist abolitionist academic and organiser Prof. Andrea Ritchie, Palestinian student and organiser Malaak Seleem, Binil from QMI, and finally, a short reminder from Palestinian poet and high school student Dania. As always, this podcast is produced and recorded on unceded Jagera & Turrbal country. Our deepest respects to the rightful owners of these lands, and to all First Nations peoples listening.

In today's episode I sit down with Hannah Ferguson, the 24 yo Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. Cheek Media is a news commentary platform that sits at the intersection of social, political and feminist news. Prior to this, Hannah studied law, and was enjoying a really bright and fulfilling legal career.    When we sat down for this honest conversation in February 2023 Hannah was just a couple of months into a very exciting new career chapter. At the end of 2022 she made the bold decision to quit her sensible – and excellent – role as union representative – and packed up her life and moved from Brisbane to Sydney to go full time at Cheek Media, and in the depths of writing her first book. This is the sweet spot of where I think career development is at its most exciting and messy.    In the first part of this honest conversation, Hannah shares with us all through the steps that she has taken in her short but illustrious career to lead her to become Founder and CEO of Cheek Media. In the second part of our conversation we talk about Cheek Media.  I hope you enjoy listening to this honest conversation and it helps open your eyes to the limitless possibilities as to where your legal career may take you.  The books we discussed are Another Day in the Colony by Chelsea Watego, Talkin' Up to the White Woman by  Aileen Moreton-Robinson and Tell Me Again by Amy Thunig  You can connect, follow and Rose Inglis on:  Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/rosetintedlaw/ Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roseinglis/ and https://www.linkedin.com/company/rosetintedlaw/ And you can be the first to know of RTL events and new podcast episodes by signing up to my mailing list at my gorgeous new website! https://rosetintedlaw.com.au This episode was mixed by Julie Reynolds: https://www.audiolemonade.com

Mikayla meets Professor Chelsea Watego an academic, writer and proud Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman

Eminent First Nations writers Jackie Huggins and Chelsea Watego discuss their seminal collections that confront vital questions about this country's past and present. Jackie's anthology Sister Girl represents decades of writing by the historian and activist, offering deep insight into the history, values and struggles of Indigenous peoples, and her biography of her father Jack of Hearts: QX11594 is a moving account of the sacrifices made by this country's soldiers. Chelsea's fierce, funny and unsparing Another Day in the Colony draws from other great Black thinkers to argue for a future based not on inclusion and hope, but on self-determination. They are joined in conversation by Larissa Behrendt (After Story). If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and subscribe to our channel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode #85 I have the absolute pleasure of yarning with Professor Chelsea Watego. Chelsea is a Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman with over 20 years of experience working within Indigenous health as a health worker and researcher. Chelsea's work has drawn attention to the role of race in the production of health inequalities.Chelsea is a prolific writer and public intellectual, having written for @indigenousx NITV, The Guardian, and The Conversation. She is a founding board member of Inala Wangarra, an Indigenous community development association within her community, a Director of the Institute for Collaborative Race Research, and was one half of the Wild Black Women radio/podcast show, but most importantly, she is also a proud mum to five beautiful children. In 2022, Chelsea's groundbreaking work, Another Day in the Colony was longlisted for the Stella Prize. We yarn about her academic and career achievements, life as a mother to 5 children and we share stories of the battles we face of justifying our Aboriginality to non Indigenous people. A very long over due yarn that's just the first of many to come.Recommendations throughout this episode: https://icrr.com.auhttps://au.linkedin.com/in/chelsea-watego-5349aba9https://www.qut.edu.au/about/our-people/academic-profiles/chelsea.bondWebsite: www.blackmagicwoman.com.auFollow us on Instagram - @blackmagicwomanpodcastThe Black Magic Woman Podcast is hosted by Mundanara Bayles and is an uplifting conversational style program featuring mainly Aboriginal guests and explores issues of importance to Aboriginal people and communities.

Love can be a powerful force, a call to action that unifies us and empowers us in the most difficult of circumstances.   Sunny and Peter by Conor Sweetman   Sunny and Peter led parallel lives. One in Ireland. The other in the United States. They both suffered injustice and tragedy. Then they found each other, and their healing could finally begin. Producer: Conor Sweetman Supervising Producer: Dan Semo Music: Blue Dot Sessions and Epidemic Sound   For The Love of Blackfullas by Chelsea Watego “It has always and only ever been love that binds us to each other and which fuels the fights we are forced to take up” says Chelsea Watego. This week we are talking about love and injustice, and it's hard to talk about injustice without addressing the injustices in our own country, especially those faced by Aboriginal people in our own flawed legal system. Our second story is an essay by Munanjahli and South Sea Islander academic and writer Chelsea Watego on the power of Black love. CW: This story includes descriptions of racism and the names of people who have passed. Written and read by Cheslea Watego Edited by Mell Chun This piece was originally written and recorded for The Sunday Paper.   All The Best credits Production Manager & Host: Danni Stewart Editorial Manager: Mell Chun Episode Mix and Compile: Niko Plaskas Social Media Producer: Emma Pham Community and Events coordinator Lidiya Josifova See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A long history of trauma, grief, loss and cultural disconnection means mental health issues for Indigenous people can be complex. Culturally appropriate support that recognises the connection between physical health, mental health, spiritual needs and social and emotional wellbeing is crucial. This week's guest Chelsea Watego is a Munanjahli and South Sea Islander woman with over 20 years of experience working within Indigenous health as a health worker and researcher. Her work has drawn attention to the role of race in the production of health inequalities. She is a prolific writer and public intellectual, having written for IndigenousX, NITV, The Guardian, and The Conversation. She is a founding board member of Inala Wangarra, an Indigenous community organisation within her own community, and a Director of the Institute for Collaborative Race Research. Chelsea believes that by sharing lived experiences to create change, power can be restored to victims in foregrounding Indigenous sovereignty over settler sensibilities. Stay tuned as Chelsea joins me to share her experiences as an Indigenous woman, reflects on her upbringing, and delves into the importance of story telling in our approach to Indigenous wellbeing.

Jennifer speaks with Noongar author Claire G Coleman about the meaning and implications of Invasion Day (officially also known as 'Australia Day').   Claire exposes some of the myths and ‘clangers' Australians hold about the origins of Invasion Day and Australian history in general.   She places responsibility on the colonists themselves to dismantle colonisation, suggesting they can first inform themselves about Australia's true past. Recent article by Claire G ColemanThe forever war, 2022, The Saturday Paper, 22-28 January 2022Link: https://www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/the-forever-war/Books by Claire G ColemanNon-fiction:Lies, Damned Lies, 2021, Ultimo PressNovels:Terra Nullius, 2017, Hachette AustraliaThe Old Lie, 2019, Hachette Australia(And also have a look at Chelsea Watego's 2021 Another Day in the Colony (Queensland University Press))

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners are advised that this podcast episode contains the names of people who have died. “I'm no longer exhausting my labour on appealing to a people whose existence is predicated upon me not existing because it's tiring work and they don't believe us anyway, no matter how sophisticated our tools are, no matter how articulate our storytelling is. The power of the black story and the real black story is the story that's told to black people by black people.” – Chelsea Watego Sydney Writers' Festival Guest Curator Nayuka Gorrie speaks with Chelsea Watego, Amy McQuire and Veronica Heritage-Gorrie about writing from the front lines, bearing witness in a way no one else can. From young black women telling Pauline Hanson she's not Indigenous to speaking back to the archive. As Nayuka says, “In the colony, it is the black woman who speaks truth to power and sees this colony for what it really is.” Please note, this episode contains references to topics such as the Stolen Generations and Aboriginal deaths in custody.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
