What does this mean exactly? How are we to understand this move by the US? To clarify this move for us we're joined by Dr. William MPofu- Snr Researcher at Wits Centre for Diversity Studies & Political Analyst With Expertise On AFRICAN Issues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TODAY is National Day of Reconciliation. The day seeks to promote national unity, social cohesion, constitutional democracy, human rights, and equality. It also serves as a call to action to individuals to take responsibility to fight racism, discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. President Cyril Ramaphosa will later TODAY officiate at the National Day of Reconciliation celebrations at Thohoyandou Stadium in Limpopo. Earlier THIS WEEK, the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation released it's Reconciliation Barometer survey which revealed , among other things, that after nearly 30 years of democracy, public confidence in political leaders and public institutions is at an all time low. To help us understand the state of reconciliation in the country, Sebenzile Nkambule spoke to Melissa Steyn, Research Chair at the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies.

On May 20, 2023, OEA is teaming up with the Hilliard Education Association, OEA-R, and many community partners in Hilliard to host a big book giveaway event for central Ohio students.

FULL DETAILS: www.ohea.org/diversereaders JOIN US FOR A SUMMER CELEBRATION OF DIVERSE READERS| The inaugural Summer Celebration of Diverse Readers event is open to all families. In addition to free books for preK-6th grade readers, there will be plenty of free family activities and snacks while supplies last. When we read books that have characters of all races, genders, and backgrounds, students discover their own voices and learn from the voices of others. Let's come together to kick off a great summer by celebrating diverse readers, so we can set all students up for success!Featured Education Matters guest:  Tiffany Thomas, Hilliard Education Association member Tiffany Thomas is a 17 year dedicated educator and advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion in the Hilliard City School District. She is a native of Columbus, Ohio, a proud graduate of Columbus City Schools, and mother to a fierce three year old little girl. She has been an English Language Arts teacher for the past sixteen years and recently transitioned into the position of Innovative Media Specialist at Hilliard Bradley High School. During her time in the classroom,Tiffany has focused her approach on developing lessons and standards aligned curriculum for grade level courses that incorporated culturally relevant teaching practices, helped develop the district wide ELA curriculum , and represented her colleagues as a Hilliard Education Association Building Representative. Graduating from Ohio University in 2005 with a Bachelor's of Science in Integrated Language Arts and from The Ohio State University in 2008 with a Master's of Arts in Diversity Studies, Tiffany has honed her skill and love for culturally relevant education through her teaching practices and numerous professional development opportunities she has created and led in her district and community. Throughout her professional journey, Tiffany responded to her colleagues' need for meaningful professional development by creating opportunities for teachers to share in their own journeys with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). She has been able to create opportunities for teachers to work with authors such as Jason Reynolds, Brendan Kiely, Mindy McGinnis and Natalie Richards, concerning valuing student experience in the classroom. In the spring of 2020, the murder of George Floyd sparked amovement within the Hilliard City School District that created a need for strategies and pedagogies when trying to embrace the black, brown,and disenfranchised voices within the classroom. Tiffany partnered with a group of colleagues, Pam Antos, Kelsey Burkett, Daniel Redman, and Lane Vanderhule, to lead the charge and create professional development opportunities for teachers centering on embracing anti-racist pedagogy and practice within our classrooms. In efforts to create an environment that every student feels comfortable, accepted and heard, Tiffany has taken the reins of the DEI efforts within her building, helping to lead a team of teachers in both culturally relevant teaching and restorative practices. She has also led professional development for other HSCD diversity facilitators as well as helping them to develop effective DEI teams throughout the district. Furthering the chance to always value student voice, Tiffany leads the Diversity Club, a student group that meets monthly to discuss current DEI topics and theeffects of these issues on them as high school students and members of the global society. These conversations are open to all and are a transformative experience for both students and staff. This year Tiffany was recognized as the 2023 OCTELA Outstanding English Language Arts Educator in the Secondary category and nominated to represent Ohio as a Teacher of Excellence at NCTE.

Episode one: In our first episode we are joined by Dr Lata Narayanaswamy Associate Professor in the Politics of Global Development at the University of Leeds and Dr Sayan Dey Postdoctoral Fellow at WITS Centre for Diversity Studies, University of Witwatersrand who generously share their thoughts on the possibilities and limits of decolonial approaches to education, the value of silence and reflection in the classroom and the need to open up and hold spaces for decolonial potential.Podcast: We are delighted to launch the first series of “Politics and Pedagogy” a podcast run by the Centre for Teaching Innovation and Scholarship in Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds. This first series is funded by The COST Action DecolDEV which takes on the challenge to reconstruct the concept and practice of development after its deconstruction. This series showcases conversations from academics in Politics, International Relations and Development as they reflect on decolonial practices in education.The podcast hosts are Dr Madeleine Le Bourdon Associate Professor in the Politics of Global Development and Dr Louise Pears Lecturer in Global Security Challenges. It is produced by Dr Marine Guéguin and Dr Harrison Swinhoe both Post-doctoral researchers in the Centre for Global Security Challenges.@CTISLeedsFunding Provider: This podcast is funded by the EU's Cost Action Decolonising Development (CA19129): www.cost.eu. The Action works towards a resetting and diversification of the structures, institutions and spaces in which knowledge about and for development is produced, shared, contested and put into practice. Decolonisation of knowledge about ‘development' cannot mean to maintain a paternalist binary of those already developed and those less developed but must scrutinize the structures and institutions that maintain power imbalances and the ideas that support paternalistic relations and assumptions of superiority according to intersectional (read: gendered, racialized, classed etc.) objectification of the Other.

“History and power go hand in hand.” Dr. ShaDawn Battle Assistant Professor, Gender and Diversity Studies, Literature, African American Literature, 20th Century, Hip Hop Studies, Critical Race Epistemology www.drshadawnbattle.com “What do you do with that privilege?” Get you an educator who can do both. On today's episode, we are joined by Dr. ShaDawn Battle, a 14 year educator who brilliantly breaks down nuanced topics about race and education. As a Chicagoian based out of Ohio, ShaDawn reflects on the educational experiences that shaped her, how her environment influenced her, and how her approach to the classroom is inspired by cultural icons (RIP Nipsey Hustle). “We don't feast with our oppressors.” One of the things Dr. Battle is most proud of is the mentorship she provides to her students as they learn how to navigate whiteness, and how to reject becoming an agent of the power structure. She emphasizes the role of student activism in making societal change, and recommends American Skin as a must watch film. Her work with the Stained Glass Initiative, as well as her upcoming project Footwork Saved My Life, demonstrate how her authenticity, potential and genius are unlimited. A final note from Dr. Battle - “Don't ever count Black academics out.” We won't.

“This is not a story for the romanticisation of pain and perseverance, although it tells of overcoming many difficulties. It is a critique of secret violence in faith communities and families, and the hypocrisy that has damaged so many people still looking for a place and way to voice their trauma. This is a critique of the value placed on ritual and culture at the expense of human life and well-being, and the far-reaching consequences of systems of oppression dressed up as tradition.” Jamil F. Khan is a critical diversity scholar, columnist and author. They are currently enrolled for a PhD in Critical Diversity Studies at the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies. Their work explores multiple axes of difference including race, gender, sexuality and class. As a columnist, their analysis of socio-political events shaping the South African landscape pulls no punches in speaking truth to power. Their published work includes a socio-political memoir, Khamr: The Makings of a Waterslams – winner of best biography at the 2021 Humanities and Social Sciences Awards, book chapters in Intersections of ageing, gender and sexualities (Polity Press, 2019), They Called Me Queer (Kwela, 2019) and Touch (Kwela, 2021) and scholarly articles on the subject of queer ageing in academic journals Sexualities and Agenda. In their memoir which details their experiences from childhood to early adulthood, Khan writes with tenderness and vulnerability, the complicated realities of living in a so-called middle-class Coloured home in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town. The detail of these memories is both jarring and reassuring as we watch Khan and examine the intersections of race, Islam and homophobia while they works through self discovery. There is a deep examination of generational trauma and what pain is left as an inheritance in an environment of abuse and trauma. Extending grace while holding their loved ones accountable is a theme which runs throughout the book and both challenges and comforts the reader in their own confrontation of the traumas of racism and homophobia. In this episode, The Cheeky Natives sat with the talented Jamil F Khan to discuss what it means to memorialise your self and journey in memoir.

We leven in een gendermoment en de T van lhbt is eindelijk in de kijker. Nooit eerder zagen we in populaire cultuur zoveel trans en non-binaire personages, die bovendien ook nog eens gespeeld worden door trans en non-binaire acteurs. Nieuwsmedia besteden op hun beurt aandacht aan de ervaringen van mensen buiten conventionele gendernormen. In deze aflevering verwonderen de Mediadoctoren zich over trans representatie. Dat doen we met Eliza Steinbock, nu nog even universitair docent aan de Universiteit Leiden, maar vanaf september universitair hoofddocent Gender and Diversity Studies in Maastricht.  Waar staan we qua trans representatie en wat zegt dat over het moment waarin we leven? Wat is goede en wat is slechte trans representatie? Is er een canon? We hebben het onder andere over het (h)erkennen van translichamen en over de transgender gaze versus de transgender look.

In a career spanning more than seven decades, she became known for her portrayal of strong African-American women. Throughout her career, Tyson refused to play drug addicts, prostitutes, or maids, roles she thought demeaning to Black women. But when a good part came along, she grabbed hold of it with tenacity.Refusing to participate in the blaxploitation movies that became popular in the late '60s, she waited until 1972 to return to the screen in the drama “Sounder,” which captured several Oscar nominations, including one for Tyson as best actress.Tyson made history when she became the first African American to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress for 1974's TV film The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Despite her achievements onstage and in films, much of the actress's best work was done for television. In addition to “Miss Jane Pittman,” she did an outstanding job in “Roots,” “The Wilma Rudolph Story,” “King: The Martin Luther King Story,” “When No One Would Listen,” “A Woman Called Moses.” Recent film appearances include Alex Cross, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and The Help.The legendary actress promoting her long-awaited memoir, “Just As I Am,” when she passed away on Jan. 28, is now a No. 1 bestselling author.Want to be a Guest, Sponsor, or be featured in the magazine?

Dr. Melinda Luisa de Jesús is definitely a Renaissance woman! She is a scholar, a classical singer, a poet, & a visual artist. Listen to her discuss her journey into creativity through her earlier beginnings as a classically trained mezzo-soprano. As a feminist scholar, it wasn't until she found her voice in poetry with various publications to her first poetry collection "peminology", did her world open up even more to include visual arts in her artistic and intellectual repertoire.   http://yourartsygirlpodcast.com/episodes Order "peminology" here: http://www.lulu.com/shop/http://www.lulu.com/shop/melinda-luisa-de-jes%C3%BAs/peminology/paperback/product-23634481.html PEMINOLOGY by Melinda Luisa de Jesús Published by Paloma Press Release Date: March 2018 ISBN: 9781387483686 Pages: 80, full-color Available on Lulu and at select bookshops In honor of International Women’s Day, Paloma Press is proud to announce the release of PEMINOLOGY, a first poetry collection by Melinda Luisa de Jesus, a feminist of color who teaches and writes about critical race theory, girlhood and monsters, and believes, “as did the ancients, that a poem can change the world.” Excerpt: Jealousy 1. Wanting to be blonde-haired, blue-eyed, small-boned and delicate ivory-complexioned, sweet and ladylike a fairy princess, or green-eyed and red-haired like a mermaid Anything but brown-skinned brown-eyed black-haired loud big fat different. 2. I love your poems I hate your poems I want to lick them, chew the paper they’re on savor each line then swallow them whole make them mine. 3. Wishing I felt more connection Planted in American soil wilting bleached I long to be coconut, carabao brown.   Advance words: “Melinda Luisa de Jesús’ debut collection of poems comes from a space of longing, rebellion, grief, love, poetics and politics. Bold, unafraid and uncompromising, peminology carves out a space for de Jesús’ vision and her generation of Filipinas in immigrant America. She speaks in multiple voices and registers, as a daughter, to a daughter, as a mother, to a mother, as a storyteller, dredging up a past and confronting fiercely the present. peminology is poetic auto ethnography. It must be read. It must be heard. It must be listened to. This is Asian-America. This is post-Trump’s America. This is the America we live in.” —Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt, author of The Postcolonial Citizen: The Intellectual Migrant “peminology is bold, raw, and honest. Weaving between past and present, de Jesús creates a narrative of traumas that connect girlhood to womanhood. Charting the intersections of racial and feminist awakenings, these poems offer avenues for shame and rage to become strength and resistance. “The Tractor,” “Patriarchy,” and “Imagine That” are but a few examples of the timely critiques—anthems, even—that de Jesús situates amidst her chronology of oppression and opposition. Her experimentation with form, including the hay(na)ku, the hay(na)ku sentence, and the pantoum, interrupts Western poetic conventions as much as the language and imagery itself. The stand out poem—“Bellies”— followed by “Pantoum for Eloisa,” explores the heartbreaking complexities of brown women negotiating motherhood and white imperialism. This collection will leave you simultaneously heartbroken and empowered, ready to rise out of your seat to demand recognition, and sit down with your child to nurture self-love. A must-read for 2018.” —Linda Pierce Allen, co-editor of Global Crossroads: A World Literature Reader and Questions of Identity: Complicating Race in American Literary History   Bio: Melinda Luisa de Jesús is Associate Professor and former Chair of Diversity Studies at California College of the Arts.
