It's time for part 2 of our exploration of the Anthropocene -- a period of time that has very wobbly boundaries and probably doesn't even exist? Can we define a chunk of geological time based on human impacts? People sure have tried!

Get ready for a two-part exploration of the proposed "Anthropocene" era. Can we define a chunk of geological time based on human impacts? When would that start--at the Industrial Revolution in the 1800s (CE)? Earlier? Later? More importantly...should we even try? Plus, we learn about industrial archaeology and get briefly derailed by a man named Frerb Hankbert. Make sure to stay tuned for the second installment!To learn more about what we cover in both parts, check out:Geologists Vote to Reject Anthropocene as an Official Epoch (Center for Field Sciences)Anthropocene (Oxford English Dictionary)GSA Geologic Time Scale v. 4.0The “Anthropocene” (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Newsletter)Anthropocene CurriculumHow Long Have We Been in the Anthropocene?

On this episode, Kaite is joined by Dr. Reem Hajjar, an Assistant Professor of Integrated Human and Ecological Systems in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University. She is an interdisciplinary social scientist, and studies the relationship between forests and livelihoods, and how various governance mechanisms and institutions (policies, norms, and markets) shape that relationship. Most of her work to-date has taken place in tropical and sub-tropical forests, with a recent extension into the Pacific Northwest of North America. Most recently, she's been working on projects related to community-based forest management in Mexico, global reviews on community forestry and small-scale forest enterprises, gendered impacts of land grabs in Ethiopia, impacts of forest policy changes in Ghana, and cattle sector certification in Brazil. Segment 1: Forestry Research [00:00-17:03] In this first segment, Reem describes the discipline of forestry. In this segment, the following resources are mentioned: FoLIAGe Research group website Rights and Resources Initiative Segment 2: Researching Internationally [17:04-34:51] In segment two, Reem shares about her international research and when she decides to expand to a new research site. In this segment, the following resources are mentioned: Articles on community forestry in Brazil and Mexico: Hajjar, R., McGrath, D. G., Kozak, R. A., & Innes, J.L. (2011).

Today we are joined by Natalie Koch, Associate Professor of Geography at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, and editor of Critical Geographies of Sport: Space, Power, and Sport in Global Perspective (Routledge, 2017). In our conversation, we discuss the growing field of critical sports geography, the role of sports in authoritarian regimes, and the neo-liberalization of sports. In Critical geographies, Koch joins other scholars to address a wide range of sports issues, including the demolition of South Korea’s Dongdaemun baseball stadium, professional wrestling in the territorial era in the United States, and the identity politics of the Gaelic Athletic Association. An emphasis on space and the ways that space embodies power and power relations, underpins the volume’s diverse offerings and draws them into fruitful conversation with each other. The collected essays fall into two categories: the first half of the book examines sports, geopolitics, and the state. Here Koch offers her own fascinating analysis of authoritarian leaders – including Mao Zedong, Vladimir Putin, and Sheikh Zayed – and their use of sports to promote the legitimacy of their regime and their own cult of personality. Koch is especially careful to differentiate between the distinct masculine discourses at work in China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates and the way those discourses made use of the divergent topographies of their countries: tundra, desert and massive river delta. The second half of the book deals with sports, community, and urban space. Here authors address the opportunities and limitations offered by sports as a tool of social assimilation and integration; the role stadium projects play in the neo-liberalization of public spaces; and the problematic politics of megaevents. In a coda, Koch and David Jansson provoke further questions by gesturing towards the role social justice can play in critical sports geography. Each one of these essays in this volume offers enticing insights into the ways that power and space intersect in the sports sphere. Geographers interested in the field of critical sports geography should read this book but scholars generally interested in questions of sports, power, and space are also encouraged to check out this compelling work. Keith Rathbone is a lecturer at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. He researches twentieth-century French social and cultural history. His manuscript, entitled A Nation in Play: Physical Culture, the State, and Society during France’s Dark Years, 1932-1948, examines physical education and sports in order to better understand civic life under the dual authoritarian systems of the German Occupation and the Vichy Regime.

We are delighted to welcome our first guest, Dr. Ali Black (@draliblack), to the #InVinoFab: In Vino Fabulum [In Wine, Story] podcast! As our first audio-only visitor to the pod, we are excited to share more about Ali's stories, her work, and discuss being vulnerable in higher education. Ali describes this process of making sense of our lived experiences as a ‘soulful' experience that has brought joy to her academic life. She highlights the value of ethic of care, gentle writing, and the importance of deep, thoughtful writing work with The Women Who Write. These “wise women” felt empowered to do more, and can be found promoting how to savor slow scholarship, find support, become more self-aware, and stop living “thin lives” in academia with these key principles: We recognize the joy and pleasure of writing and responding We listen to our longings to care for ourselves and others We do not care for the auditing of the academic assembly line We choose connection We choose to be different - more ourselves - in academia Ali shared with us the #3Wedu The Women Who Write Manifesto:IMAGEThe Women Who Write: http://www.thewomenwhowrite.com/ A place to give feedback about ‘a conference' or ‘conferencing' http://www.thewomenwhowrite.com/conference.html Final Abstract: Exploring Ideas About Thoughtful GatheringsThe Res-sisters are a feminist collective of early career academics.
