The conference held workshops, presented papers for specific programs, and developed more than 80 resolutions calling for an emphasis on Black power in political, economic, and cultural affairs. Only one resolution, a Black Power Manifesto, won official approval, but others were adopted in spirit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
MISSION, Texas - Mission residents concerned that their city's history is being destroyed attended a recent Mission Historical Preservation Commission meeting. They praised Gabriel Ozuna, vice chair of Hidalgo County Historical Commission and chair of its preservation committee. Ozuna previously worked for the City of Mission as its Historic Preservation Coordinator. It was he, the residents said, who produced a thorough list of the historic buildings Mission needs to preserve. Among the residents to attend were David Garza, Irma Flores Lopez, Ester Salinas, and Roel Rangel. Salinas said Mission CISD deserves an “F.” Garza said the Mission Historical Preservation Commission should be “held accountable” for the destruction of Roosevelt Auditorium. Rangel said an historic building should not come down for a parking lot. “Major fail,” he said. Flores Lopez said is going to produce a documentary on the rise and fall of Roosevelt Auditorium.Here are some audio highlights from the Mission Historical Preservation Commission meeting.To read the full story go to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service website.

On July 8th President Biden was supposed to sign an executive order regarding reproductive rights, and the order would direct Health and Human Services to take action…but there is one problem. He neer signed an executive order. Go to the Federal Registry, you can’t find it! https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders/joe-biden/2022 But what they have released is a Fact Sheet…that has literally no authority: FACT SHEET: President Biden to Sign Executive Order Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/07/08/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-sign-executive-order-protecting-access-to-reproductive-health-care-services/ Today, President Biden will sign an Executive Order Protecting Access to Reproductive Health Care Services. This Executive Order builds on the actions his Administration has already taken to defend reproductive rights by: -Safeguarding access to reproductive health care services, including abortion and contraception; -Protecting the privacy of patients and their access to accurate information; -Promoting the safety and security of patients, providers, and clinics; and -Coordinating the implementation of Federal efforts to protect reproductive rights and access to health care.

HHS will take additional actions in the coming days. Pig-Heart Transplants in Two Brain-Dead People Offer Chance to Improve Tests for Pig Viruses https://www.wsj.com/articles/pig-heart-transplants-in-two-brain-dead-people-offer-chance-to-improve-tests-for-pig-viruses-11657638000 According to WSJ: Two brain-dead individuals received genetically modified pig-heart transplants, part of growing efforts by scientists who want to improve tests on pig organs for pig viruses and gather data that could help launch clinical trials of animal-to-human organ transplants. Scientists at NYU Langone Health, where the research studies took place in June and July, said the pig hearts were flown from a facility hundreds of miles away and then transplanted into two recently deceased individuals, Lawrence Kelly, 72, a former welder from Beaver Meadows, Pa., and Alva Capuano, 64, a former teacher from New York City. Mr. Kelly was driving alone in his car when he suffered a heart attack, according to his fiancée, Alice Michael. Ms. Capuano, who had been the recipient of a kidney transplant from her son many years ago, had a heart attack while at home, said her husband, Richard Capuano. Both individuals were later declared brain-dead and maintained on ventilators. Their families agreed to donate their bodies to science, to take part in the research studies. In the U.S., brain death is defined as the irreversible cessation of all brain function, even if heart and lung activity can be maintained with machines. The pig hearts weren’t immediately rejected by the recipients’ bodies and functioned for the duration of the three-day studies, according to Nader Moazami, surgical director of heart transplantation at NYU Langone Health, who led the pig-heart procedures. The data haven’t been published yet or peer-reviewed. The issue was highlighted by the recent case of David Bennett, a 57-year-old handyman from Hagerstown, Md., whose pig-heart transplant was conducted at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. The emergency procedure was aimed at extending the critically ill man’s life. Mr. Bennett died in March, 60 days after the transplant surgery.

Euro, dollar a penny away from parity for first time in 20 years https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/euro-dollar-penny-away-from-parity-first-time-20-years For the first time in nearly two decades, the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S dollar is about equal. The euro dropped to a 20-year low on Monday, approaching parity with the dollar on fears that an energy crisis in the European Union could drag the region into a recession. The euro traded at around $1.007 on Monday afternoon in the U.S, down roughly 15% from the start of the year. The parity between the two currencies comes as Russia shut off a key pipeline – Nord Stream 1 – carrying gas to Germany for annual maintenance. While the routine work that includes "testing of mechanical elements and automation systems" is scheduled to end on July 21, German officials fear the suspension of Russian gas could last longer than anticipated because of the war in Ukraine. The strong U.S. dollar is good news for Americans traveling to Europe this summer, who can expect to pay less for a plethora of goods while they are overseas. Atlanta Fed GDP Tracker Still Negative Even After Blowout Jobs Number https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2022/07/08/atlanta-fed-gdp-tracker-still-negative-even-after-blowout-jobs-number/ The jobs number for June was much better than expected but not good enough to push the Atlanta Fed’s real-time GDP tracker back into positive territory. The Department of Labor said the U.S. economy added 372,000 jobs in the month of June, far better than the 250,000 expected. Wholesaler inventories grew by 1.8 percent in May, slightly lower than the initial estimate of two percent. The growth of employment and inventories was not enough to overcome the disappointing news in the weeks preceding it. The real-time GDP tracker run by the Federal Reserve, called GDPNOW, fell into negative territory weeks ago and remains there even now. On Friday afternoon, it registered a 1.2 percent contraction in the economy in the second quarter. If that turns out to be right, this would be the second consecutive quarterly contraction. In the minds of many, that constitutes a recession—even if the official arbiters of recessions at the National Bureau of Economic Research may not declare it to be a recession because unemployment remains so low. The odds are that the Atlanta Fed’s tracker will not rise into positive territory. There are only three more readings left before the official read of second quarter GDP is published on July 28th. On July 27th, we’ll get the final read. It will include figures from estimates of manufacturing in June, likely to show evidence of the contraction that has shown up in surveys. The final data source that will inform that GDPNOW estimate will be the Advance Economic Indicators, which are an amalgam of what we learned from inventory and trade data. In short, GDPNOW is more likely to fall than rise. Big upside surprises in the economic data could turn it around but that looks unlikely. Housing Could Provide More Fuel for Inflation https://www.wsj.com/articles/housing-could-provide-more-fuel-for-inflation-11657618231 Climbing housing costs are set to keep inflation elevated this year, creating another challenge for Federal Reserve officials who want to see signs that price pressures are easing before slowing their interest-rate increases. Overall annual inflation rose to 8.6% in May, while core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, hit 6%, according to the Labor Department’s consumer-price index. The June figures are set to be released Wednesday. Rising fuel costs and supply-chain disruptions from Russia’s war against Ukraine added to inflation that was already high due to surging demand from the economy’s reopening and aggressive government stimulus. Annual housing inflation, as measured in the CPI, hit a recent low in early 2021 at 1.4% and it has since rebounded, to 5.4% in May, well above the annual average of 3.5% between 2015 and 2019. Because of the way the Labor Department captures rental prices, rent inflation could continue to rise this summer before peaking at around 6.5% over the next several months, said David Wilcox, a senior economist at Bloomberg Economics and the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That would be a 36-year high. Fed rate increases have led to a broad pullback in financial risk taking, sending up borrowing costs and leading to stock-market declines. Mortgage rates have recently jumped to a 14-year high, and home builders and real-estate agents are reporting a significant pullback in sales. But demand for rental housing could continue to rise, keeping rents high. “These rent-based components in the inflation indices are likely to prove relatively impervious to the tightening in financial conditions we’re seeing right now,” said Mr. Wilcox. Other inflation forecasters see less scope for an additional, large run-up in housing inflation. Based on recent data, Omair Sharif, head of the advisory firm Inflation Insights LLC, expects housing inflation to rise to 6% by the end of the year. Meanwhile, he expects other service prices, such as for health insurance, to drop at the end of the year, providing enough downward pressure to monthly inflation readings to more than offset any strength from housing.

Wholesaler inventories grew by 1.8 percent in May, slightly lower than the initial estimate of two percent. The growth of employment and inventories was not enough to overcome the disappointing news in the weeks preceding it. The real-time GDP tracker run by the Federal Reserve, called GDPNOW, fell into negative territory weeks ago and remains there even now. On Friday afternoon, it registered a 1.2 percent contraction in the economy in the second quarter. If that turns out to be right, this would be the second consecutive quarterly contraction. In the minds of many, that constitutes a recession—even if the official arbiters of recessions at the National Bureau of Economic Research may not declare it to be a recession because unemployment remains so low. The odds are that the Atlanta Fed’s tracker will not rise into positive territory. There are only three more readings left before the official read of second quarter GDP is published on July 28th. On July 27th, we’ll get the final read. It will include figures from estimates of manufacturing in June, likely to show evidence of the contraction that has shown up in surveys. The final data source that will inform that GDPNOW estimate will be the Advance Economic Indicators, which are an amalgam of what we learned from inventory and trade data. In short, GDPNOW is more likely to fall than rise. Big upside surprises in the economic data could turn it around but that looks unlikely. Housing Could Provide More Fuel for Inflation https://www.wsj.com/articles/housing-could-provide-more-fuel-for-inflation-11657618231 Climbing housing costs are set to keep inflation elevated this year, creating another challenge for Federal Reserve officials who want to see signs that price pressures are easing before slowing their interest-rate increases. Overall annual inflation rose to 8.6% in May, while core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, hit 6%, according to the Labor Department’s consumer-price index. The June figures are set to be released Wednesday. Rising fuel costs and supply-chain disruptions from Russia’s war against Ukraine added to inflation that was already high due to surging demand from the economy’s reopening and aggressive government stimulus. Annual housing inflation, as measured in the CPI, hit a recent low in early 2021 at 1.4% and it has since rebounded, to 5.4% in May, well above the annual average of 3.5% between 2015 and 2019. Because of the way the Labor Department captures rental prices, rent inflation could continue to rise this summer before peaking at around 6.5% over the next several months, said David Wilcox, a senior economist at Bloomberg Economics and the Peterson Institute for International Economics. That would be a 36-year high. Fed rate increases have led to a broad pullback in financial risk taking, sending up borrowing costs and leading to stock-market declines. Mortgage rates have recently jumped to a 14-year high, and home builders and real-estate agents are reporting a significant pullback in sales. But demand for rental housing could continue to rise, keeping rents high. “These rent-based components in the inflation indices are likely to prove relatively impervious to the tightening in financial conditions we’re seeing right now,” said Mr. Wilcox. Other inflation forecasters see less scope for an additional, large run-up in housing inflation. Based on recent data, Omair Sharif, head of the advisory firm Inflation Insights LLC, expects housing inflation to rise to 6% by the end of the year. Meanwhile, he expects other service prices, such as for health insurance, to drop at the end of the year, providing enough downward pressure to monthly inflation readings to more than offset any strength from housing.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, June 27, 2022, and this is Episode #26 of Series 2022. This episode is titled "The Truth about 'The Great Reset'". _________________________________________ If you have not yet heard of "The Great Reset." you will soon. In today's post, we will explore this topic and expose the lies at its foundation. So, what is The Great Reset and why do you need to know about it? The Great Reset is the name given to the 50th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, in 2020. Convened by Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, and the World Economic Forum (or WEF), this meeting brought together top business and political leaders from around the world for the purpose of taking advantage of the then current COVID crisis and to use that crisis as the launching pad for creating the New World Order. The stated goal of the 2020 World Economic Forum meeting, as published on the official WEF website, was “to overcome income inequality, societal division and the climate crisis.” This remains the WEF's goal, and they are pursuing it with relentless passion. While, at first glance, the WEF's goal may sound noble, it is rooted in deception. In truth, the nice-sounding terminology masks anti-Biblical lies whose ultimate purpose is to enslave humanity and to usher in the New World Order under the brutal dictatorship of the Anti-Christ. A frequent expression used by the Great Resetters is "Never let a crisis go to waste." Interestingly, one of the chief topics discussed at the 2020 Conference was how best to use the COVID-19 pandemic and the theory of climate change to reset global structures. Klaus Schwab, current CEO of the World Economic Forum, said this in a statement posted on the official World Economic Forum website: “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.” Reflect. Reimagine. Reset. What the Great Resetters mean by these words is not what most people mean by these words. The Great Resetters want to turn our world into a global kingdom where we own nothing and are happy. A kingdom where they call all the shots and we call none. A kingdom where we do what they say or we die. The social structures included in their nefarious reset goals are education, health care, finance, and energy production, among others. The aim of the World Economic Forum is to restructure our world according to a model that makes the liberal, wealthy élite rulers over the rest of us. Those who promote the Great Reset are brazenly open about the fact that they want to control every human being in every aspect of his life. For the past two years, we have already witnessed and experienced that control infiltrate our daily lives in the form of lockdowns and mask mandates. Now that same control is expanding to the imminent use of a Social Score Card that will ration food, gasoline, and other life-sustaining products according to the degree of one's com...

The answers to land expropriation is contained in the Constitution, according to Professor Thuli Madonsela. She describes the supreme law of the land as a "Christmas gift – there is just so much inside it". "The reason we haven't moved forward on land is not because of the Constitution, it is despite the Constitution," she said. Madonsela was responding to a question, which criticised whether the Constitution dealt with restitution and its benefactors, at the Social Justice Summit on Tuesday. "Politicians failed to change the existing land system. But you are raising an important question - when you protect rights, it's true that the key beneficiaries of rights are people who already have the rights, already have the benefits. Because for them, what happens is then rights are violated when the state acts," Madonsela continued. "But if nobody does anything, your rights are fine .. But, in a country like ours, where we had a monopoly game, where people were excluded, it is different from [other countries' situations]. "We're talking about people who were kicked out of the game for quite some time, while the game proceeded. And the game has not been reset. So when you say everyone's rights are protected, there's a very difficult space we have to negotiate around how do we redistribute. That you can't do by law. You need to engage with people's hearts, so that people can understand why. In September, the ad hoc committee on Section 25 adopted a bill to amend the Constitution to allow expropriation without compensation, with only African National Congress (ANC) MPs voting in its favour, News24 previously reported. The bill will be considered by the National Assembly for adoption after the municipal elections. It is considered unlikely that the ANC would muster the required two-thirds majority to pass it - the Democratic Alliance has been opposed to the amendment since the inception of the process, and the Economic Freedom Fighters made it clear they would not support an amendment that did not place all land in state custody. Madonsela said it was not true the Constitution didn't "recognise the unjust past". "The Constitution is like a Christmas gift - there's just is so much inside it. And a lot of people just look at the top, and then they throw it away because they don't find the gift that they want. A lot of these gifts are wrapped; you've got to open it and unwrap it. So I do think that it does have provisions, even the land question, Section 25. It has the answers there." The summit - arranged by Madonsela, who is the Law Trust Chair in Social Justice at the Law Faculty of Stellenbosch University -comprised two days of deliberations on the topic. Delegates from around the world gathered for the discussion, under the auspices of the Musa Plan for Social Justice, or Social Justice M-Plan, which was adopted by a multi-stakeholder summit in 2019. Convened by the former Public Protector and the Council of Social Justice Champions, it aimed to review progress achieved in the implementation of the Social Justice M-Plan broadly, while specifically focusing on fostering economic parity. Madonsela maintained that social justice wasn't "the core of the rule of law". "Nobody should be above the law. Everyone should be equally protected by the law, and equal protection of the law does not mean undifferentiated treatment," she said. She used the example a friend, who was in China in the 1980s, who went in search of underwear, where "all of the shops were saying one size fits all". "She couldn't find underwear. That's what is called formal equality. Our Constitution entrenches. substantive equality. There are two components of substantive equality that we must take with us: it is the duty to embrace difference and the duty to redress disadvantage. "Equality is same treatment when required." Quoting a Constitutional Court judgment, she said: "Inequality is about treatment with equal consideration." You treat me the same way as you treat so...
TFJ: Series 1 Episode 24: Special Episode: The Birth of Israel After the French Revolution there was a sense that the quest for liberty, egalitarianism and brotherhood were attainable, just like after the American revolution there was a sense that the pursuit of happiness was an attainable goal. Borders were changing, maybe even human nature was changing. Maybe, maybe there was even hope that a Jewish state could be restored. To enlarge his empire and further secure his personal record in history, Napoleon traveled with his army to Egypt. And even though he was routed by the British in the Battle of the Nile, this did not dampen his visions of grandeur and he decided to invade Palestine. After some initial successful battles, basing himself on a sense of overconfidence and being undefeatable, he granted the Jews freedom to their own land and signed his proclamation from his headquarters in Jerusalem that he had not yet captured and never would. He gave the Jews hope for their homeland, and then dashed it when it turned out to be a promise that he could never deliver. His second blow was even more devastating: in 1791 France declared all men to be equal, even Jews. Napoleon and the French people, then had second thoughts. They had given the Jews equal rights too cheaply. For the Jews to be awarded the status of equality they would have to swear that they were Frenchman with loyalties exclusively to fellow Frenchmen, not fellow Jews, with no national aspirations for the Land of Israel. This affirmation was to be sanctioned by the Sanhedrin which had been defunct for 13 centuries. Any observer viewing matters in 1807 would have concluded that the idea of Jews returning to the Land of Israel was over for good. History had the last laugh.

IT'S HAPPENING
New York grand jury has convened on the investigation of Trump's business. A year after police murdered George Floyd, the country is still without significant law enforcement reform. We learned half of Americans are fully vaccinated. Faux Dems Manchin and Sinema beg their Republican colleagues to show a modicum of humanity and agree on the creation of a bipartisan commission to investigate the insurrection on January 6th. Shitler's EPA continued to allow the use of a destructive pesticide. Q-Nazi Marjorie Taylor Greene thanked a supporter via Twitter for calling Kevin McCarthy a worthless c-word. Moscow Mitch rebuked Representative Greene's cracked-out antisemitic remarks involving coronavirus. A community of human boils festering in a very creepy armpit of the world wide web planned the placement and construction of the gallows meant for Pence at The Capitol. A right-wing conserv-a-load suggested our LGBTQ brothers and sisters should have warning labels displayed on their foreheads. A GOP state rep moonlighting as a substitute teacher kicked a student in the nads then spewed forth a homophobic rant.

Yesterday a judge granted an original grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case the permission to speak out publicly about the hearing and their findings. What we learned was both explosive and despicable. The grand juror said that they were never even allowed to look at the evidence, in spite of requesting it, that could've caused them to charge the officers who shot and killed Breonna. This directly contradicts the words of Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron who said that the jurors themselves decided not to prosecute the cops. All of this misconduct and malfeasance warrants a new grand jury being formed. Today I'll unpack and explain how this could happen and who could do it. ---- If you listen to The Breakdown and want to help support the work we do, consider becoming a member of our Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/thebreakdown for exclusive members perks and early access to content.

'What if some African governments are doing a better job than our own of managing the coronavirus?' (New Yorker, May 2020) Covid-19 has gripped the world, shaken the multilateral system and caused widespread uncertainty. One thing remains clear, there is no going back and adaptations will need to be made to shift towards a new normal. The key to this will be developing new forms of cooperation between countries and communities around the globe. Early signs from Africa are that in many countries the response to Covid-19 has been effective – perhaps because they were able learn from how the pandemic unfolded across the world from China to Italy and through Europe. But contrary to commonplace narratives about aiding Africa, recent events highlight opportunities for Europe and elsewhere to learn from Africa. Beyond the immediate response to the pandemic, countries across Africa will face considerable challenges in the recovery, with an urgent need to finance weakened economies and to adapt existing approaches to trade, labour markets and social protection. This event explores what new approaches and enhanced forms of collaboration will need to be built between Africa, Europe and beyond, as well as delivering on the many commitments being made. Convened in partnership with the European Think Tanks Group, this event is the first in a series of engagement ahead of the upcoming European Union-African Union Summit and is also part of the ODI at 60 global reset dialogue series, challenging decision-makers to provide more sustainable and equitable pathways for the future.

Podcast recording of the event: La Trobe University - Ideas & Society ProgramAustralia and the refugees who come by boat Convened by La Trobe University’s Emeritus Professor Robert ManneTwo of Australia’s most respected social justice fighters, Julian Burnside AO QC and Father Frank Brennan SJ AO have been following Australia’s asylum seeker policy for decades. On many questions connected to asylum seekers who come by boat their viewpoints differ. They speak to the following questions: What should Australia’s asylum seeker/refugee policy be? What ought to be done to help those refugees living in Australia on temporary protection visas? How can the lives of those still on Nauru and Manus Island be saved? And most deeply, how can the cruelty of Australia’s asylum seeker policy be explained?Kurdish writer Behrouz Boochani, author of No Friend But the Mountains, addresses the six year ordeal faced by those still marooned on Nauru or Manus Island. Behrouz believes very strongly that the voice of the refugees has not been heard in this debate. He participates in the discussion of the policy options and the moral imperatives in Australia’s discussions of refugee policy in general and in particular on the fate of those who have been detained on Manus Island and Nauru over the past six years.

Speaker: Mehmet Kurt, LSE and Yale University Chair: Robert Lowe, LSE Middle East Deputy Director Islam has returned to the Turkish and Kurdish public and political spheres, becoming an effective means to mobilise voters and recruit supporters during the AKP era. In this talk, Mehmet Kurt highlights two distinctive approaches to the Kurdish issue adopted by Kurdish Hizbullah (Huda-Par) and the wider Kurdish movement. While the former relies on an explicitly Islamist political agenda to subsume Kurdish society into part of a pan-Islamist entity, the latter pursues a secular but increasingly pluralist agenda to expand its base among religious Kurds. This in turn determines both groups’ connection to Kurdish political identity. While Hizbullah embraces a form of ‘Kurdishness’ that mainly makes reference to Islam, the wider Kurdish movement incorporates Islam into its pluralist notion of ‘the people of Turkey’. Recorded on 17 December 2018. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr Mehmet Kurt is a Marie Curie Global Fellow at the London School of Economics and Yale University.

What do rural Americans say are the biggest problems in their local communities? A new poll finds that drug/opioid abuse and economic concerns are the top challenges. When it comes to drug addiction and abuse, a majority of rural Americans say opioid addiction is a serious problem in their community. On economic issues, rural Americans largely hold negative views of their local economy, but nearly one-third have seen economic progress in recent years. What may help? A majority of rural Americans believe outside help will be necessary to solve major community problems in the future, and many believe government will play an important role. Convened shortly before National Rural Health Day and after the nation's midterm elections, a panel of experts explored the public health and policy implications of these findings within the broader context of life in rural America. This Forum event was presented jointly with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and NPR on November 9, 2018. Watch the entire series: https://theforum.sph.harvard.edu/
Speakers: David McDowall and Zeynep Kaya, LSE Middle East Centre. David McDowall’s ground-breaking modern history of the Kurds was first published in 1996. It became a foundation text for the subsequent growth of scholarship on the Kurds and, revised and updated three times, remains an essential part of the literature. David is currently updating the book again and will share his thoughts on developments in the field and, in particular, on areas which have gained in importance and understanding over the last 25 years. David McDowall studied Islamic History under Albert Hourani for his first degree and wrote his post-graduate dissertation on the Druze revolt in Syria, 1925-27. He is a generalist, having worked for the British Council and UNRWA, before becoming a full-time writer, writing on Britain, Palestine, Lebanon and the Kurds. After 20 years writing and self-publishing a series of British landscape books, he has reverted to updating his history of the Kurds. The event marks the launch of the Kurdish Studies Series at the LSE Middle East Centre. Convened by Zeynep Kaya and Robert Lowe, the series will encourage dissemination and discussion of new research on Kurdish politics and society and provide a network for scholars and students with shared research interests. Recorded on 23 October 2018. --------------------------- Image: Book Cover 'Modern History of the Arabs' courtesy of the author.

We live in highly charged times. Since Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual harassment, assault and rape by multiple women, the bastion of male privilege has been under sustained attack by the #METOO and #TIMES UP movements, with a roster of men called out for similar behaviour – not only in Hollywood but in the worlds of politics, media, art, sport, and high-end charity events. Some surprising characters have been netted in the maelstrom – Margaret Atwood (the author of the feminist novel The Handmaid’s Tale) for example, faces a feminist backlash over her voicing of concerns over the #METOO campaign. Is it possible to adopt a nuanced stance in such a climate? And what would that look like? For an analysis of this most extraordinary disruption of traditional male-female relations, and its likely long-term consequences, join Kurdistan poet and leader of the first gender studies programme in Iraqi Kurdistan Choman Hardi, Māori development and media specialist Ella Henry, US scientist Hope Jahren, and UK writer and comic actor Robert Webb. Convened by Charlotte Graham-McLay.

Speakers included the Brownstein Policy Director Cate McCanless and Strategic Advisor Barry Jackson along with Quadriga Managing Partner Jason Ficken and Colorado Lieutenant Governor and former Kaiser Permanente CEO Donna Lynne.
Auckland Writers Festival 2016 In 2015 more than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe, most fleeing the war-torn region of Syria. The exodus is ongoing. Meanwhile, Donald Trump argues for a wall across the border of the US and Mexico, and closer to home Australia operates one of the harshest border policies in the world. How porous should borders be? Do nations have the right to refuse sanctuary? Are refugees collateral damage as the search for strategic long-term solutions to bloody conflicts stumbles on? Three Festival guests – Israeli strategic consultant Yossi Alpher, Medecins Sans Frontieres co-founder Jean-Christophe Rufin, and British Middle East expert Emma Sky parse the biggest humanitarian crisis since World War II. Convened by British philosopher Julian Baggini.
Much work has been done to pluralize and relativize the study of IR, but where does this agenda go next? There is now a far more sophisticated understanding of the contested character of global order and of ‘non-western’ perspectives. IR scholars now question a mainstream that is often unaware of the deeply western-centric character of its assumed historical narratives, its allegedly universal theoretical categories, and its political preoccupations. Convened by Professor Andrew Hurrell, this workshop brings together leading specialists to debate the state of the art on How to Study Global IR.
