Climate Scientists, politicians, big business, food companies and agriculture leaders have all gathered for the COP28 climate summit in Dubai. Discussions will be deep and meaningful, so we were rather surprised to be sent a colourful poster, published by an online casino site. It has a timeline showing what the effects would be if everyone in the UK cut out meat, for just one day a week. The poster shows the progression through the decades, from an increase in eating plant based foods, to fewer emissions from less livestock. How was this work done? The whole thing was generated by the AI tool, ChatGPT. We ask emeritus professor of food policy at City University in London, Tim Lang, what he thought of it.All week we're travelling around England to see some of the 22 pilot schemes for landscape recovery. They're part of the Government's post-Brexit farm policy; different schemes are being designed in the other home nations. Today, we're in Dorset in Poole Harbour which focuses on improving water quality to benefit birds, wildlife, farmland and people.Farmers are facing very different ways to fund what they do, especially when providing environmental goods, whether that be under government schemes or providing carbon offsetting for private companies. To achieve that backing, farmers have to prove they are making a difference and that means they must measure what they are doing. Anna Hill went to a Agri-TechE gathering, an organisation that connects farmers, growers, technologists and entrepreneurs. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USWelcome to The Codex Chronicles… A professor's Tale of Manuscripts.https://davidsalomonblog.wordpress.comhttps://cnu.edu/people/davidsalomon/Dr. David A. Salomon holds a PhD in English literature from the University of Connecticut and an MA from the City University of New York. A specialist in the literature, religion and culture of the Middle Ages and Renaissance England, he most recently spent thirteen years as a professor of English at the Sage Colleges in Troy and Albany, NY. During his time there, he also served as chair of the Department of English and Modern Languages, director of general education, director of study abroad, chair of the Faculty Development Committee, faculty advisor for the student newspaper, and was the founding director of the Kathleen Donnelly Center for Undergraduate Research. He joined CNU as the inaugural Director of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity in September 2017.His book on the medieval glossed Bible was published by the University of Wales Press in 2013. In 2015, he co-edited and co-authored a monograph, Redefining the Paradigm, which discussed new models for faculty evaluation to improve student learning. His new book, The Seven Deadly Sins: How Sin Influenced the West from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, was published by Praeger in April 2019. He has published essays on everything from medieval mysticism to anger in the Bible, and has given presentations on teaching and faculty evaluation models at conferences, such as the Teaching Professor and the annual AACU Conference. Medieval manuscripts are perceived differently by the human senses compared to common text today, offering a unique and multisensory experience: 1. Visual Aesthetics: Medieval manuscripts, often handwritten and lavishly decorated, showcase intricate calligraphy, elaborate illustrations, and vibrant colors. The visual aesthetics of these manuscripts evoke a sense of artistry and craftsmanship that is distinct from modern printed text. 2. Tactile Sensation: The parchment or vellum used for medieval manuscripts provides a tactile experience as one feels the texture of the material beneath their fingers. This physical interaction with the medium adds a sensory dimension to reading and handling these historical texts. 3. Aged Scent: Over time, medieval manuscripts develop a distinct aroma, carrying the scent of antiquity. This aged smell can evoke a feeling of connection to the past and contribute to the overall sensory experience. 4. Historical Connection: Reading medieval manuscripts allows individuals to connect with the past in a way that digital or modern printed texts cannot replicate. The physicality of holding an ancient document establishes a direct link to the historical era in which it was created. 5. Auditory Silence: Unlike the electronic devices that accompany much of modern reading, medieval manuscripts invite a quieter environment for exploration. The absence of electronic buzz allows readers to immerse themselves in the silence of the written word. 6. Cultural Imagination: The experience of reading medieval manuscripts transports readers into a different cultural mindset, understanding the context in which these texts were written, interpreted, and appreciated. 7. Spiritual and Mystical Essence: For manuscripts related to religion and mysticism, the act of reading becomes a spiritual journey, as the physicality of the text and the esoteric content converge to create a unique spiritual experience.In summary, medieval manuscripts offer a multisensory encounter that goes beyond the mere act of reading. The visual aesthetics, tactile sensation, historical connection, and spiritual essence create a captivating journey that connects readers to both the words on the page and the distant world from which they emerged. https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_US

In her book Hell Hath No Fury: Gender, Disability, and the Invention of Damned Bodies in Early Christian Literature (Yale University Press, 2021), Meghan Henning illuminates how the bodies that populate hell in early Christian literature are punished after death in spaces that mirror real carceral spaces, effectually criminalizing those bodies on Earth. Contextualizing the apocalypses alongside ancient medical texts, inscriptions, philosophy, and patristic writings, this book demonstrates the ways that Christian depictions of hell intensified and preserved ancient notions of gender and bodily normativity that continue to inform Christian identity. Meghan R. Henning is associate professor of Christian origins at the University of Dayton. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

In 1989, New York City declared itself a sanctuary city — a place where undocumented immigrants seeking asylum are safe from immediate deportation and eligible to receive city services. But living up to that promise is tougher than just passing a law. This year, New York City has received over 100,000 asylum seekers so far, including 15,000 unaccompanied minors. Most are from Latin America, where they face extortion from gangs, robbery, rape and LGBTQ+ persecution. The journey to the U.S. is deadly, but so is life back home. They set out by bus, train, and on foot through forests and the Rio Grande, often with babies and toddlers, to come to the U.S. In this episode of The Laura Flanders Show, produced in collaboration with the School of Labor and Urban Studies at the City University of New York (CUNY), hear the harrowing journeys and hopes of refugees coming to New York City — and the issues they face soon after they arrive — including trouble finding work, shelter, foster care placement, and legal battles. New York City is conflicted about their arrival, politicians say there are too many migrants, and far-Right extremists create a hostile and oftentimes dangerous environment. Stepping in is a growing network of volunteers and nonprofits comprised of social workers and lawyers on the ground and in the courts, who are working to give asylum seekers a welcome, shelter, and legal protection. New York City as we know it would cease to exist without migrants. Here are their stories.[Translated from Spanish] “A lot of the gay people in Guatemala or Central America, they get murdered. They either get killed or they hide their homosexuality by pretending to be someone else. If they do that, they don't get hurt, but if they dress like women, or if they present in a feminine way, they get attacked.” - Eswin “We work with young people who have been raped, who have been tortured, who have been kidnapped — many times on the way from their country to the United States — who've been abandoned, who've been starved. They are coming with the continued desire to thrive in this country despite the trauma that they've endured.” - Angela Fernández“Unaccompanied minors and immigrant children who are working are particularly vulnerable . . . They don't speak the language, they may not know their rights. They may not know what kinds of agencies to go to or where they can get help.” - Terri Gerstein“The people that we're getting are all working-class families. They're decent people . . . We should welcome everybody. We need the help.” - Father James Kelly“The first thing that [migrants] ask is not water, food, it's where can I find work. They don't want handouts. They want to be able to provide for themselves.” - Power Malu[Translated from Spanish] “. . . [Organized crime] began extorting people . . . Where I used to live, they killed a 13-year-old boy and a couple. I left my town of Tulcán. From there to Colombia. And from Colombia, we went through the jungle.” - Lady Mansilla“It's the volunteers that are on the ground receiving people in a respectful and human-centered way, and then they're coordinating access to services for them on a case-by-case basis.” - Jamie Powlovich“Going to foster care is an option that's deemed better for a child because they have the opportunity to live a life that's almost normal because you can go to school, you can have friends, you can go out, which they cannot do in detention. There aren't enough spots in foster care for immigrant children right now.” - Marie-Cassandre WavreGuests:Eswin: Asylum Seeker, EcuadorAngela Fernández: Executive Director, Safe Passage ProjectTerri Gerstein: Harvard Center for Labor & A Just EconomyFather James Kelly: Immigration Attorney, District 3 Immigration ServicesPower Malu: Founder,  Artists Athletes ActivistsLady Mansilla: Asylum Seeker, EcuadorJamie Powlovich: Executive Director, Coalition for Homeless YouthMarie-Cassandre Wavre: Supervising Attorney, The Door Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.Music In the Middle:  “Borikén Keys” by Nickodemus featuring MC Baby Power, aka Power Malu, featured in today's episode.

Episode Notes November is National Adoption Month, which adoptees have reclaimed as National Adoptee Awareness Month (NAAM). In honor of NAAM, this month on Let's Grab Coffee, I'm featuring conversations with authors of books that center adoptee voices. Child welfare services, including adoption and foster care, are often framed around the “best interests of the child,” but who gets to decide what's best and who's best for the child? What happens in cases of adoptive parent and foster parent abuse, neglect, and murder? On this episode, I sit down with Roxanna Asgarian, author of We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America. Through her investigative journalism, she challenges some of the assumptions around child welfare and adoption, centers the birth families whose children were murdered by their adoptive parents in a highly-publicized 2018 murder-suicide, and exposes the harms baked into the child welfare system. Roxanna Asgarian was the law and courts reporter for the Texas Tribune. Previously, she covered the child welfare and criminal justice systems as an independent reporter in Houston. Roxanna received her bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and her master's degree from the Craig Newmark School of Journalism at the City University of New York.

In this conversation with RevDem editor Ferenc Laczó, Peter Beinart discusses forms of ethical and unethical Palestinian resistance and the complex relationship between condemning and contextualizing mass crimes; explains why he thinks ongoing Israeli military efforts are not only morally wrong but also likely to prove counterproductive; points to ways that Israeli Jews and Palestinians may be brought together now to recognize their intertwined tragedies – and reflects on how he balances his Jewish familial obligations and the universalistic ethical message about the dignity of all people in the current moment of despair and rage. Peter Beinart is professor of journalism and political science at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York and editor-at-large at Jewish Currents. He also runs the Substack The Beinart Notebook.

In another vital episode of Guerrilla History, we close out our Sanctions As War miniseries while continuing to examine Palestine and the various components of the conflict in Occupied Palestine.  This time, we bring on Corinna Mullin to discuss sanctions from below, the BDS movement, and how what those in the West can do to support the Palestine liberation movement.  This is a really important conversation, so be sure to share with anyone you think would benefit from hearing it! Follow the The International People's Tribunal on U.S. Imperialism and CUNY for Palestine for more information on the organizations Corinna is involved with. Corinna Mullin is an anti-imperialist scholar teaching at John Jay and Brooklyn College, City University of New York (CUNY). She researches, writes and teaches about: the politics and political economy of West Asia and North Africa, genealogies of global south security/carceral states, the politics of development, US imperialism, racial capitalism, anti-/decolonial theory and struggles, knowledge production, and popular education. Corinna has been involved in BDS struggles in the US, Tunisia and New York.  You can follow her on twitter @MullinCorinna Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/guerrillahistory

Jordan Buschur is an artist, educator, and curator based in Toledo, Ohio. Her paintings focus on collections of objects ranging from stacked books to interiors of drawers, all united by a system of value based on mystery, sentimentality, and a matriarchal connection. Buschur received an M.F.A. in Painting from Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. Her work has been shown in numerous locations, including exhibitions with the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts (Grand Rapids, MI), Center for Book Arts (NYC), and Field Projects (NYC). She participated in residencies at the Wassaic Project, Chashama North, the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, and the Vermont Studio Center. Awards include the Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award and the Kimmel Foundation Artist Award. Her work has been featured in print in New American Paintings and UPPERCASE Magazine, and online with The Jealous Curator, Young Space, and BOOOOOOOM, among many others. She is a co-founder of Co-Worker Gallery and has curated exhibitions at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space (NYC), Spring/Break Art Show (NYC), and the Neon Heater (Findlay, Ohio). Buschur was the Director of the Eisentrager-Howard Gallery at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln and currently teaches drawing at the University of Toledo. "My paintings imply a human presence through depictions of accumulated collections. Contents of desk drawers, stacks of books, packed boxes, and objects on display, are united by systems of value shaped by mystery, sentimentality, and the matriarchal connection. Each painting focuses on the oscillation between personal resonance and public view, reality and invention, fixed meaning and open interpretation. I'm interested in the assignment of non-monetary significance onto objects as an inherently interior and idiosyncratic act. In this way, the paintings are portraits as I meditate on the details (both mundane and magical) of the accumulated stuff of friends and family (and my own things too). Simultaneously, the collections point towards the material weight of modern life, the anxiety of consumption, and the endgame of anonymous personal effects. Looking through the lens of inheritance, accumulations of sentimental objects can link to ancestors, while also becoming a burden of junk. A well loved thing, so deeply felt by one, shapeshifts in meaning when passed to a new owner and generation."   LINKS:  www.jordanbuschur.com   @jordanbuschur   Artist Shoutouts: Crystal Phelps Natalie Lanese Lindsay Akens Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez Charley Friedman Angeles Cossio Dana Fritz Margaret Bohls Jac Lahav Maia Cruz Palileo     I Like Your Work Links: Apply to our Winter  Exhibition Catalog: https://www.ilikeyourworkpodcast.com/submitwork   Join the Works Membership ! https://theworksmembership.com/   Watch our Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ilikeyourworkpodcast   Submit Your Work Check out our Catalogs!

For this episode, host Kate Carpenter interviews Dr. Tanisha C. Ford. Tanisha is a writer, historian, and professor of history at the City University of New York Graduate Center. She is the author of three books and many articles on subjects at the intersection of politics and culture, and especially on Black fashion and social movements. Her first book, Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul, was published in 2016, and in 2019 she released her second book, Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl's Love Letter to the Power of Fashion. Her newest book, Our Secret Society: Mollie Moon and the Glamour, Money, and Power Behind the Civil Rights Movement came out just last month. It's a fascinating biography of famed Black fundraiser and activist Mollie Moon that takes readers into the world of an overlooked aspect of the civil rights era. Kate's conversation with Tanisha covers how she brought the world of Mollie Moon to life, her methods for organizing her sources--the "oldest of old school"--and why she's glad she was an English major.

My guest today is Dr. Laura Ascenzi-Moreno, a NYC-based scholar who studies bi and multi-lingual education. She has several papers about reading assessment practices and considerations for students who speak multiple languages. We also discuss reader models such as the Simple View and Active View, and which are more aligned with biliteracy research, and considerations for phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension instruction for bi and multilingual learners. Later, I'm joined by my colleagues Angie Forero and Cristy Rauseo for a conversation about practical takeaways for the classroom. ****Read a full transcript of this episode and learn more about the show athttps://www.jenniferserravallo.com/podcast Learn more about Laura Ascenzi Moreno:  https://www.lascenzimoreno.com/ Twitter @AscenziMorenoMore on Ideologies in Assessment of Emergent BilingualsThe Active View of ReadingLiteracy Foundations for English Learners****More about this episode's guest:Laura Ascenzi-Moreno is an Assistant Professor and Bilingual Program Coordinator in the Childhood, Bilingual, and Special Education Department at Brooklyn College.

She was also an Associate Investigator for the City University of New York New York State Initiative on Emergent Bilinguals (CUNY-NYSIEB) from 2012-16. Her publications can be found in Literacy Research and Instruction, Language and Education, Schools: Studies in Education, and Language Arts.Ascenzi-Moreno is a bilingual literacy researcher and teacher educator who studies literacy instruction and learning of emergent bilinguals – or students who use two or more languages in their daily lives. Her work is focused on understanding the connection between ideologies and practice and in particular, in examining how monolingual spaces within literacy instruction – such as assessment, guided reading, and the use of mentor texts – can be centered on emergent bilinguals' multilingual and multimodal practices. Through her research and work with teachers, she also continues to develop and refine how bilingual theories can contribute to an understanding of reading in general.Her focus in bilingual education is not on the promotion of languages and competencies. While these are important, her research agenda and work in schools is focused on emergent bilinguals' literacy experiences and how these are related equity. As an applied bilingual researcher and teacher educator, she strives for her research to emerge from questions emerging from practice and contributes back to the field by helping teachers both think about emergent bilinguals in new ways to shape literacy instruction. Therefore, she works to ensure that her research addresses the authentic and urgent needs and concerns of teachers in the field and is relevant to the national community of bilingual scholars. Special thanks to Alex Van Rose for audio editing. Support this showSupport the show

"The gift of the [traditional] healer that he shares with those of us who do psychoanalytic work is that we are given an idea of the human mind as being always in a process of mediating the real world and the drives of sex and aggression - which if not moderated can lead to terrible things. We're in there, and that's what our training helps us to do.”    Episode Description: We begin with Martha describing her social work background and how it informed her approach to working with overwhelmed children in New York. She recounts her efforts in El Salvador and her understanding that children who were violent were actually children who were over-exposed to violence. She also functioned as one who accompanied those clinicians who themselves were at risk of being overwhelmed by the violence in their work. We take up her engagement in Angola and their cultural model of the individual as "the self that exists for the purpose of social participation." We consider the case of a child soldier who was treated by traditional healers for multiple symptoms related to his involvement in atrocities. We note the similarity with Bion's Knowing and Love as it is lived between the individual, the healer and the community. We close with recognizing the importance of the 'moral third' and the centrality of reparation in both African and American cultures.   Our Guest: Martha Bragin, Ph.D., is jointly appointed Professor at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and the Ph.D. Program in Social Welfare at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She joined the faculty after 30 years of experience supporting United Nations agencies, governments, nongovernmental and people's organizations to address the effects of violence and disaster on children, youth, families, and the communities in which we live. Dr Bragin is a Fellow of the Research Training Program of the IPA and the editorial board of the International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies. She serves as a member of Inter-Agency Standing Committee (UN-IFRC-NGO) Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, a globally representative body that sets and monitors standards for psychosocial interventions in emergencies. Dr Bragin is recipient of the International Psychoanalytic Association's Tyson Prize as well as the Hayman Prize for published work on traumatized children and adults in 2011 and 2021.
