Join Stan and Jack, as they reflect on Stan's Federation University Annual Reconciliation Lecture. How well do words like Treaty, Reconciliation, Sovereignty, and Decolonisation still serve us? Or need we find a different way of speaking about reconciliation? What would that sound like and where would we begin?
Send us a textThe so-called Irish Potato Famine between 1845 and 1852 killed up to one million people and led to the emigration of hundreds of thousands of others. It left a deep imprint on Irish, European and American history and memory. But this was not a natural catastrophe, argues economic historian Padraic Scanian. He sees the famine as a result of globalisation, and of a very Victorian determination to let the market do its work and discipline the undeserving poor. The stereotype of the lazy Irishman was born out of the quasi colonial perspective of large landowners and London bureaucrats. The famine may be in the past, Padraic observes, but the mechanisms that led to it may still be more present than we think.Support the show
“How we raise our children is facilitating a denaturing of our human-ness. The opportunity is to be centred within & rebuild our culture” Dan Kittridge is the bare footed gent who coined the term Nutrient density off the back of his dao-ist strategy to create a life that afforded him the time & space to be at home with his young family, living simply with just 10k per year on the land.Over the next 20 years he became clear that his role was simply to serve & that it's not his job to know what he's doing or attempt to implement a plan rather to be sensitive to what's shown to him & respond in a way that was lead by love enabling him to get out of his head, get out of the ‘shoulds' & get into the heart, asking instead, what flows.The result has been the creation of the bionutrient institute, a global speaking profile & a life long commitment to renaturing which he says sits at the centre of solving the poly-crises we face.“Having the right to land to provide adequate housing & food for every family should be a foundational right. The land cannot be sold but you have access to it sufficient for a simple life.”"As long as we engage with a colonised mind of separation/fear/division, we will not be able to engage with an indigenous mind of love/flow & unity"“As long as the structure of our lives require us to work jobs for money that are separating us from nature, we are paddling upstream. It becomes difficult to tune into the flow of nature.”Loved this?

L'ère des réseaux sociaux a changé la façon dont se forme l'opinion publique : si par avant quelques canaux avaient les rênes du discours, aujourd'hui la parole publique appartient à toutes et tous. Des voix silenciées par le passé ont fait alors entendre leur combat, confrontant la culture dominante. Le monde de la mode n'a pas échappé à cette réalité, et s'est vu forcé de se regarder dans le miroir pour la première fois et adresser la question de l'appropriation culturelle..Un sujet brûlant, qui anime les uns, révolte les autres, mais qui se cristallise dans les nouvelles générations, désireuses d'apporter des regards plus complexes sur le passé. Et l'histoire de la mode est elle aussi profondément dépendante de cette appropriation, c'est du moins un axe de réflexion qui ne peut être amplement réfléchis pour comprendre ce qui l'a forgé. C'est précisément ce que nous allons faire aujourd'hui grâce à Khémaïs Ben Lakhdar, doctorant, enseignant à l'Institut Français de la Mode et auteur de l'ouvrage "L'appropriation culturelle Histoire, domination et création : aux origines d'un pillage occidental" paru chez Stock..Loin de condamner ou d'attaquer, cet épisode est une ouverture au dialogue pour penser les échanges culturels en y ajoutant de l'égalité et du respect. Alors je vous invite à laisser un commentaire pour faire part de vos réflexions !
La pensée décoloniale, terme désormais courant dans les milieux militants et académiques, interroge les séquelles du colonialisme dans notre société. Lissell Quiroz, professeur d'Études latino-américaines à CY2, mettra en lumière les origines de cette théorie en Amérique latine, où le concept de « colonialité du pouvoir » a été forgé par le sociologue péruvien Anibal Quijano pour décrire un modèle global de domination qui a permis le développement du capitalisme en s'appuyant sur l'invention des races et donc du racisme. Quels sont les différents courants de la pensée critique contemporaine, à savoir les études subalternes, postcoloniales et décoloniales ?
Join us for a thought-provoking yarn with Bundjalung woman Ella Noah Bancroft, a storyteller, artist, and activist reshaping the conversation around decolonisation, community, and Indigenous-led solutions. Ella shares her journey of growing up on Country, the wisdom of her matriarchal lineage, and how she has dedicated her life to reclaiming First Nations ways of being. We explore the transformative power of women-centred societies, the role of food and land sovereignty in healing our communities, and the importance of rest as an act of resistance against colonial capitalism. Through her work with The Returning, Ella is creating spaces where women can reconnect with cultural knowledge, challenge oppressive systems, and nurture future generations. This episode is an inspiring call to action to rethink the way we live, lead, and connect.

The term 'decolonising aid' is everywhere. And yet, many decisions about aid are made behind closed doors in the West, and those most affected by aid policies have little power in shaping them. But what if people who are rarely in the same room together sit down and talk? No talking points. No self-censorship. Just open, honest, and moderated one-on-one conversations. Introducing Power Shift: A new podcast from The New Humanitarian and the Center for Transformational Change that presents moderated conversations between decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions. Can they use honest and sustained dialogue to create shared visions for fairer humanitarian responses?

In this episode, Ayelén Amigo joins us to explore coloniality of age, a concept that she created during her studies and shares practical tools for decolonisation projects with children. Applying her extensive academic training and years of participatory work with children and adolescents in Argentina and Mexico, Ayelén shares how adult-centrism and patriarchy shape childhood experiences. Focusing on the integration of feminist perspectives and on the use of the "pedagogy of tenderness", Ayelén offers valuable insights into creating more inclusive and equitable approaches to youth work.

This episode brings you ‘Decolonising Decolonisation!/ A Decolonizar la Decolonización!'– the bi-lingual spoken part of the performance Provocation by Colectivo Malvestidas, at De-Fashioning Education – A Critical Thinking and Making Conference in Berlin – The Digital Multilogue on Fashion Education 2023. Colectivo Malvestidas was formed in 2016 in Santiago, Chile, by Loreto Martínez (theatre designer, curator and creative producer) and Tamara Poblete (researcher in fashion and dress, curator and cultural manager). The two began to intertwine their interests in dress as a political device. They did this by situating themselves in Latin America and embracing critical theory, feminisms and decolonial practice. They decided to name themselves Colectivo Malvestidas (Poorly dressed Collective) with a focus on the aesthetic and the parodic. Since then, they have developed several projects committed to making visible and developing disruptive and counter-hegemonic discourses in fashion and dress.Editors: Franziska Schreiber & Renate Stauss Sound editor: Moritz BaillyMusic by: Johannes von WeizsäckerGraphic by: Studio Regular

For much of the twentieth century, the ideas of Karl Marx provided the backbone for social justice around the world. But today the legacy of Marxism is contested, with some seeing it as Eurocentric and irrelevant to the wider global struggle. In Global Marxism: Decolonisation and Revolutionary Politics (Manchester UP, 2024) Simin Fadaee argues that Marxism remains a living tradition and the cornerstone of revolutionary theory and practice in the Global South. She explores the lives, ideas and legacies of a group of revolutionaries who played an exceptional role in contributing to counter-hegemonic change. Figures such as Ho Chi Minh, Kwame Nkrumah, Ali Shariati and Subcomandante Marcos did not simply accept the version of Marxism that was given to them they adapted it to local conditions and contexts. In doing this they demonstrated that Marxism is not a rigid set of propositions but an evolving force whose transformative potential remains enormous. This global Marxism has much to teach us in the never-ending task of grasping the changing historical conditions of capitalism and the complex world in which we live Simin Fadaee is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Manchester and President of the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Social Classes and Social Movements. She is the author of Social Movements in Iran: Environmentalism and Civil Society; editor of Southern Social Movements; and Co-editor of Marxism, Religion and Emancipatory Politics. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

Theo Williams' Making the Revolution Global: Black Radicalism and the British Socialist Movement before Decolonisation (Verso, 2022) shows how black radicals transformed socialist politics in Britain in the years before decolonisation. A history that runs from 1929 to the years after WWII here we see a number of significant activists and intellectuals such as George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Jomo Kenyatta and Amy Ashwood Garvey, establish significant groups on the British Left and how they related to the dominant groups in this field, most notably the Communist Party of Great Britian (CPGB) and the Independent Labour Party (ILP). As Williams shows, while these activists continually emphasised the need to combine international socialism with colonial liberation, these other groups were often resistant to this, with the CPGB responding to the shifting demands of international communism and the ILP facing internal splits on the role of colonialism. Despite these frustrations, these activists develop a significant radical tradition which doesn't reject the British Left, but rather changes it, as the events during, and after WWII show. As our conversation discusses Williams is encouraging us to reconsider this history, not just in order to correct the historical record and more fully account for the place of this black radical tradition within the British left, but also to think about the continuing impacts of decolonisation and what this may mean for contemporary demands to ‘decolonise the university'. Your host Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow with research interests in social theory and the history of sociology. He is the author of a number of books, including G.D.H. Cole and British Sociology: A Study in Semi-Alienation (2024, Palgrave Macmillan) Learn more about your ad choices.

As Williams shows, while these activists continually emphasised the need to combine international socialism with colonial liberation, these other groups were often resistant to this, with the CPGB responding to the shifting demands of international communism and the ILP facing internal splits on the role of colonialism. Despite these frustrations, these activists develop a significant radical tradition which doesn't reject the British Left, but rather changes it, as the events during, and after WWII show. As our conversation discusses Williams is encouraging us to reconsider this history, not just in order to correct the historical record and more fully account for the place of this black radical tradition within the British left, but also to think about the continuing impacts of decolonisation and what this may mean for contemporary demands to ‘decolonise the university'. Your host Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow with research interests in social theory and the history of sociology.

Theo Williams' Making the Revolution Global: Black Radicalism and the British Socialist Movement before Decolonisation (Verso, 2022) shows how black radicals transformed socialist politics in Britain in the years before decolonisation.

Todays topic is the decolonisation of birth. Mel invites Aimee Aroha (@aimeearoha) and Kirrily Dawn (@the_returning_ @kirillydawn) to approach this topic from an Indigenous perspective. We learn that decolonisation is about restoration of what was lost through colonisation. We start from the beginning for anyone who is new to this topic but go deep for people with a long term investment in decolonisation You can follow Aimee's work at: Instagram @aimeearoha Website https://www.thestonedchrysalis.com/ And Kirrily can be found at: Instagram @the_returning_ @kirillydawn To get on the mailing list for the podcast and to access the resource folders for each episode, visit www.melaniethemidwife.com Premium podcast members Hub Being a premium podcast member gives you access to the transcript and additional resources for each episode AND the 'ask Mel a question' button so you can submit questions for the monthly 'Ask me anything' episode.

Henning Melber is Director Emeritus of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation and former research director of the Nordic Africa Institute. Melber is the author of "Dag Hammarskjöld, the United Nations and the Decolonisation of Africa" in which he explores the years of African decolonization during which Hammarskjöld was in office, investigating the scope and limits of his influence within the context of global governance. He paints a picture of a man with strong guiding principles, but limited room for maneuver, colliding with the essential interests of the big powers as the 'wind of change' blew over the African continent. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

When crises hit, a host of questions arise, among them: Who needs humanitarian aid? How much? Who delivers it? And who has the power to make all of those decisions? How aid agencies and the media choose to frame this information doesn't always help. For the last year, researchers at ODI's Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) have been trying to understand narratives and the role they play in humanitarian response and policy. What they're finding so far is that human stories are more powerful than data when it comes to influencing change in the sector, and yet humanitarians don't take their role as storytellers seriously enough. In this bonus episode, we get a snapshot of HPG's ongoing exploration of humanitarian narratives from one of its main researchers, and we bring together a local organisation founder, a researcher, and a journalist to discuss the power humanitarians have to shape the stories that affect crisis response. Guests: John Bryant, research fellow at ODI's Humanitarian Policy Group; Leen Fouad, research officer at ODI's Humanitarian Policy Group; Mohamed Ali Diini, founder of Iftiin Foundation and chair of the Shaqo Platform; Patrick Gathara, senior editor for inclusive storytelling at The New Humanitarian. ____ SHOW NOTES Understanding the role of narratives in humanitarian policy change | ODI What is a humanitarian crisis, really? | Rethinking Humanitarianism Gaza: a litmus test for the humanitarian sector's commitment to decolonisation? | ODI How do you break the mould around international aid?

Today Anna talks to Jesse about The Economic Possibilities of Decolonisation by Matthew Scobie and Anna Sturman.
Today we're exploring a vital topic to all of us who are looking to evolve, wake up and live in a way which is honouring and life-affirming - decolonisation.When you look at the modern wellness industry in western countries, you can see that it borrows heavily from the ancient traditions of cultures from around the globe - from turmeric lattes, to cacao ceremonies, to yoga classes, to burning sage.There's an important, growing, decolonisation movement which is asking all of us to look more deeply and critically into our own practices, and to ask ourselves how we may be causing harm, and to work to correct it.Our guest today is at the leading edge of this movement, and in our conversation she shares generously about her personal decolonising journey with us, so that we can all work towards - as she says in the intro to her brilliant ‘Decolonising Wellness' podcast - appreciating, not appropriating.Jyoti Rani is a Menstrual Cycle Coach who practices, teaches and embodies a decolonised approach to wellness - rooted in inclusivity, diversity and an honouring of indigenous wisdom.She is also a Yoga Teacher and a big part of her decolonising journey has been reclaiming her Indian heritage and the rich wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda - “the knowledge of life”, India's ancient healing system - so as an added bonus, we begin and end the conversation learning about Ayurvedic menstrual health. We explore:Dozens of ways to begin decolonising your mind, your life and your wellness practices. How we can decolonise our menstrual cycle - by stepping away from cookie cutter templates of how our cycles ‘should look' and instead cultivating an intimacy with the cycle we have.What Ayurveda recommends we eat on our period---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Welcome to episode 28 of the Nurtured by Nature podcast, today I'm delighted to be joined in conversation by Lucy Ní hAodhagáin / O'Hagan the founder of Wild Awake Ireland. Lucy is quite simply one of the most kind hearted, intriguing and inspiring people I have had the pleasure to meet. During our conversation she shares her journey which is beautifully woven with her love of nature. A relationship that began from a need for sanctuary from the challenges of life and has blossomed into a life where she consciously awakens a deeper relationship with the world rooted in reciprocity, reverence and responsibility in both her own life but also the experiences of the many people she works with and guides to their own remembering. Our conversation gently meanders through her wisdom of ancestral skills, ceremonial rites of passage and wildlife tracking and the richness these threads can bring to the tapestry of life. We also hold space for the grief and pain so many of us are experiencing in this time and celebrate the importance of looking to the richness and resilience to be found in the edges, so we can move away from polarisation towards embracing the incredible diversity of voices in our own communities and in the natural world. Lucy offers up the sacred invitation to deeply listen, and witness each others stories, to find the courage to sit with the questions and challenges of our time and dream into the new world that we believe is possible, whilst remembering to trust that most people have good intentions and truly want to do something to help. Learn more about LucyLucy Ní hAodhagáin / O'Hagan (They/She) is the founder and director of Wild Awake Ireland, a project which seeks to rekindle ancestral life ways for cultural and ecological resilience across the island of Ireland. Lucy is passionate about supporting people to re-establish connection with themselves, their communities and to nature, of which we are a part. Lucy is particularly interested in rewilding and rekindling the knowledge and skills we once knew so intimately, which connect us to place.Lucy's interests range from ethnobotany to wildlife tracking, ancestral skills to restoring rites of passage. All while leaning into the ways in which we can collectively decolonise our relationship to the land and ourselves and be in reciprocity with life. Lucy is happiest when outside, following the trails of deer across the landscape and nibbling on what nature has to offer.

This special holiday episode of SPS comes in three parts: (1) In order to make sense of the present, Platypus is hosting an international series of panels "Left Perspectives on the Israel-Palestine Conflict". In the first segment, member Gabe G. and Pamela N. reflect on the first panel of the series, which took place at the University of Chicago. They take up disagreements as well as the assumed agreement and the response from the audience. (2) In the second segment you'll hear soundbites and brief interviews from pro-Palestine rallies recorded by our members in Philadelphia and Auckland, New Zealand. (3) The third part is a deep dive into the Platypus archives. The current conflict has prompted Rebekkah and Lisa to speak with our member Ian M. about past engagements from our archives. They talked about the founding moment of Platypus as well as past panel initiatives on the politics of solidarity and decolonization.

For most of the twentieth century, Trinidad and Tobago had a population of fewer than a million people. But this Caribbean nation made an outsized contribution to radical theory and political activism. C. L. R. James and Eric Williams published two of the most important works about slavery and its role in the development of capitalism. Williams went on to become the country's first leader after independence.Their fellow Trinidadian George Padmore took on a pivotal role in the struggle against racism and colonial rule. Padmore helped nurture a generation of activists who successfully challenged the idea that Europe was destined to rule the world.Our guest today is Theo Williams. He's a lecturer in history at Durham University, and the author of Making the Revolution Global: Black Radicalism and the British Socialist Movement before Decolonisation.Read Theo's piece for Jacobin, "George Padmore Played a Vital Role in the Struggle Against Colonial Oppression" here: https://jacobin.com/2023/06/george-padmore-anti-colonialism-marxism-color-line-communismLong Reads is a Jacobin podcast looking in-depth at political topics and thinkers, both contemporary and historical, with the magazine's longform writers.

How do we create moments of collective care and sanctuary in troubled times? In this episode Amisha talks with zoë laureen palmer, a multidisciplinary artist, co-creator and human ecologist working at the intersection of the arts, health and ecology. Her regenerative practice explores our relationship with the more than human world centering embodied ecologies, underrepresented narratives and knowledge through a decolonial lens. She is a gentle beekeeper and a plant medicine student cultivating an afro-futurist apothecary in response to climate breakdown. In this intimate conversation Amisha and zoë laureen unearth a flow of big questions arising from living in troubled times of system collapse and climate crisis. Together they ground us in ideas and practices that can help us nourish and flourish whilst being present to the complexities unfolding around us. They explore :: beekeeping as practice of collective and community care; a teacher of reciprocity, interbeingness and storytelling :: collective dissociation and creating sanctuary reclaiming shattered lives and places :: our relationship with slowing down and decolonising time as an act of collective care :: interspecies grief and finding ways of flourishing in a world that's diminishing :: how we can rekindle our intimacy with each other and the natural world, and how to open this conversation up to to the wider living world Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org
How do we decolonise and reclaim the sensuous powers of our divine feminine? In this episode Amisha talks to Mallence Bart-Williams, a Sierra Leonean-German multi-facetted social entrepreneur who uses film, fashion, botanical alchemy, writing and philanthropy as forms of expression to instill balance in this world, and Shilo Shiv Suleman, an award-winning Indian artist whose work lives and breathes at the intersection of Magical Realism, Art, Technology and Social Justice. Her work is unapologetically embodied weaving together the sensual and sacred, past and future- through paintings, wearable sculptures, interactive installations and public art interventions. Mallence and Shilo reveal the facets of their newly launched collaborative space ‘Lineage' that draws on their personal cultures and lineages. ‘Lineage' is a diverse cultural space in Ubud, Bali, containing a library, art gallery, chai and wine bar. The intention of ‘Lineage' is to be an offering for us to reimagine our futures and to bring alive practices of embodied decolonisation that reclaim ancient trade routes and our imagination, so we may reconnect with our sensuous bodies and a culture of abundance. They explore :: insights and stories revealing their personal cultural lineages and ancestral practices :: cultural appropriation and capitalisation of ancestral practices, such as yoga :: cultural regeneration and to how to reclaim our sensuous power of the divine feminine :: culture of shame & colonial laws of oppression that continue to reap hate and division in our communities :: joy as a form of resistance & reclamation Links from this episode and more at allthatweare.org
How do we deconstruct binaries and colonial structures to flourish communities rooted in generosity? In this episode Amisha talks to Asmaa Guedira, a facilitator, consultant, artist, writer and designer catalysing transformation at the intersection of system change, leadership, feminism and regenerative futures. A Moroccan nomad, Asmaa thrives to build bridges between different cultures. From managing international development programs in South West Asia and North Africa to designing transformative learning experiences for leaders in Berlin, California, France or Australia, Asmaa has been connecting artivists, changemakers and leaders in over 20 countries. Asmaa is a fellow of the Policy Center for the Global South and BMW Foundation Leaders Program, and is involved in various global networks like OuiShare, Amanitas, Global Innovation Gathering, Sandbox or African Crossroads. She co-authored 2 books: ‘Société Collaborative' and ‘Le Manifeste des Crapauds Fous' and is currently writing her memoir about identity. Asmaa currently lives on Bundjalung Country, where she runs eco-feminists retreats with WELA. Her art addresses the colonisation of our bodies and mind, our intimacy, identity and the role of healing. Amisha and Asmaa share their experiences of a privileged ‘nomadic' lifestyle highlighting its shadows intertwined with new-age change-maker communities. They explore how we can re-invent these by deconstructing binaries and colonial structures so we may flourish communities that are rooted in ancient nomadic principles of generosity and humility that will serve our collective future. Asmaa shares her vulnerable journey of migration integrating an intersectional identity, blooming her queerness and a full sense of belonging. We learn that sharing our personal stories and growing our humility is a vital part of how we can all contribute to decolonisation; an invitation to understand our lives differently and to share knowledge that will move us from an extractive to a generous, simple and slow way of life.
