Podcasts about equal citizenship

Our guest today is one of the greatest of Britons. Lady Hale was, until her retirement three years ago, the President of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom – the most senior judge in the country. Peter sat down with Lady Hale at her London home for a conversation about her life, her love of history and memoir Spider Woman. After this she took him back to 1925, a pivotal year for the law and women's rights. For women, the 1920s were a progressive time. Figures like Eleanor Rathbone and Viscountess Rhonda led movements such as the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship and the Six Point Group. In 1925 three particularly important pieces of legislation passed through Parliament. Here she tells us about each of them. Lady Hale is the author of Spider Woman.

The past few years have witnessed a flurry of new scholarship related to the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, particularly the Privileges or Immunities Clause and its associated citizenship declarations. Evan Bernick, a professor at Northern Illinois University, is the co-author with Randy Barnett of "The Original Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment: Its Letter and Spirit." Christopher Green, a professor at the University of Mississippi, is the author of "Equal Citizenship, Civil Rights, and the Constitution: The Original Sense of the Privileges or Immunities Clause," as well as a review of Evan's book, to which he and Barnett have responded. This historical debate is not merely of academic interest, however. If the Supreme Court were to view the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment in a new light, what would the implications be for labor law?Featuring: -- Professor Evan D. Bernick, Assistant Professor, Northern Illinois University-- Professor Christopher R. Green, Associate Professor of Law and H.L.A.

“Democracy runs on disagreement: it is by means of citizens hashing out their differences that democracy can achieve better political outcomes.”In Part 2 of their podcast, Turi and Bob Talisse follow on from their discussion of Equal Citizenship (and why polarization strains that ideal), to discuss Disagreement and how we build democratic ‘Civility' to make sure disagreement is working for, not against, democracy.Disagreement is central to the democratic aspiration. Not only does it enshrine the right of individuals to participate in the democratic process, but it is epistemically useful - it helps us discover and articulate new ideas. But how can we argue properly when all our instincts push to defeat the other side rather than build with them?Bob Talisse explains that we're programmed to argue (a good thing) but that we must remind ourselves to do so within the bounds of 'civility'. Not 'civility' in the 19th Century sense of the term, but rather 'Civic Friendship' - anchoring our argument in the idea that we're all building the same civic project together, that our disagreement is precisely what makes our collective experience so much better.Listen in to understand:Deep Disagreements: the kind of differences no reasoning or logic will ever succeed in bringing togetherHow (and why) we privilege winning arguments over learning from them.Performance Debating: why we love to argue, and why we're so bad at differentiating real debate with playing to the gallery.Why politicians play to their bases rather than try to convince the other side.How we've merged the notion of fact and opinion.Civil Discourse: what it means and how we can work to build ‘Civic Friendships'.And whether COVID-19 might just bring us back together as societies…“The informational environment seems directed at dissolving the distinction between knowing what happened and having a judgment about what happened.”More on this episodeLearn all about the Parlia Podcast here.Meet Turi Munthe: https://www.parlia.com/u/TuriLearn more about the Parlia project here: https://www.parlia.com/aboutAnd visit us at: https://www.parlia.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

"Democracy is the thesis that a decent and stable political order is possible amongst equal citizens who disagree, but only if that disagreement is made to work in the service of democracy through civility."In this two-part podcast, Turi and Bob Talisse explain these core ideas of Equal Citizenship, Disagreement and Civility, why they're so fundamental to democracy, and why they're at threat today.The radical idea of democracy is that a just and stable social order is possible in the absence of political hierarchies: nobody's political participation is worth more than the next person's.It's not just that government must treat us as equals, but that we ourselves must recognise each other as political equals. If we don't, if we begin to see our political opponents as depraved, as morally or intellectually corrupt, we begin to see them as unfit for democracy. We will seek to exclude them from our common democratic project - we enter a 'Cold Civil War'.That is the idea of Equal Citizenship, and it is massively under threat from polarization across the world.Why are we polarized?Our societies have become much more diverse (through immigration) just as our local communities have become more homogenous.The physical landscape has changed: social and physical mobility has meant liberals and conservatives can congregate around each others geographically.Choice has expanded so much with technology that we can self-select for everything: liberals need only read liberal news; conservatives the same.Our political identities mean much more to us than they ever have - stepping into the void left by Religion.As we personalise our politics, so perforce we dehumanise our political opponents.Listen to understand:why Polarization in democracy is a feature not a bugthe critical difference between Political Polarization and Belief PolarizationLifestyle Politics: politics has suffused our consumer choiceshow to tell someone's politics from the number of maps they have at homewhy everyone is incentivised to play extreme politics todayAnd why Bob's father, an ardent Republican, had a Union-man as his best friend...More on this episodeLearn all about the Parlia Podcast here.Meet Turi Munthe: https://www.parlia.com/u/TuriLearn more about the Parlia project here: https://www.parlia.com/aboutAnd visit us at: https://www.parlia.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Malaysia is one of only 25 countries that denies Malaysian women the right to confer nationality on their children on an equal basis as Malaysian men. Many are calling for Malaysia to amend the federal constitution to allow both men and women to confer their citizenship on their children born outside of Malaysia through the same process. We find out more from Bina Ramanand, the Lead Coordinator and Co-founder of the Foreign Spouses Support Group (FSSG) and Suri Kempe, the Programme Manager of Musawah.

„One thing I noticed, most of them do not have any goals or expectations from their lives when they are young“ - Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship I had the pleasure to speak with Yasmeen Fatimah founder of Foundation for Equal Citizenship while she was in a short stay in Dubai. I have worked with Yasmeen last year in a Pashmina Scarf Project to empower underprivileged workers in India. Every time I met her, I feel that energy to empower minorities and underprivileged people and give them a voice. Yasmeen worked in Silicon Valley during the IT 2000er booming years at Intel, Visa and EMC as Software Engineer and Project Manager among others, but one area she couldn’t let of is trying to bridge the gap between inequality in living conditions or even basic human rights. Social justice has always been the main focus area throughout her career but also her own projects. With being as she said a nomad, she kept travelling between India and USA, between her Career in Silicon Valley and building social justice while bridging the gap with low-income workers in India as well as empowering young people to dream again. —————————————————- CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST BOOK TITLE Contrasts that Shape Me CHAPTERS 1 Being Minority 2 Uncertainties in Life 3 Living in Silicon Valley 4 Social Change?

Leave a comment or drop me a message on social media. You can find me on Instagram and twitter @bydanielludwig ABOUT CHAPTERS OF MY LIFE PODCAST I want you to imagine your past life. Right, where should I start? Imagine you need to write your life story in form of a book already. It’s a challenge itself and frankly, not everyone has thought of this, as we always think when we get older we should write about our life. But in fact, we have so many experience ready to share with others, achievements, failures to learn from, positive and negative life transitions which in the end lead to the person we are today. This "Chapters Of My Life Podcast" is an inspiring collection of life transitions packed into a podcast audiobook format capturing the willpower and belief of people during important life-changing decisions. We interview innovators, athletes, entrepreneurs and idealists give an insight into their past life from a young age till today and (future untold plans) covering topics around sports, entrepreneurship, mindfulness, travel, nutrition, spirituality, yoga & meditation and more - everything which leads to the person they are today.
