Original and deeply researched, The Slow Death of Slavery in Dutch New York: A Cultural, Economic, and Demographic History, 1700-1827 (Cambridge University Press, 2024) provides a new interpretation of Dutch American slavery which challenges many of the traditional assumptions about slavery in New York. With an emphasis on demography and economics, Michael J. Douma shows that slavery in eighteenth-century New York was mostly rural, heavily Dutch, and generally profitable through the cultivation of wheat. Slavery in Dutch New York ultimately died a political death in the nineteenth century, while resistance from enslaved persons, and a gradual turn against slavery in society and in the courts, encouraged its destruction. This important study will reshape the historiography of slavery in the American North. Michael J.

Different Christian denominations hold varying views on multiple topics. Over the past two thousand years, these doctrinal differences have often generated conflict, even to the point of religious wars. Despite huge variations in belief on some topics, however, one thing all Christian denominations agree on is that Jesus is the Son of God and the third person of the Trinity. They also believe that Jesus is the Christ—from the Greek chrīstós, a translation from the Hebrew Mašíaḥ, (messiah), meaning “anointed one.” But what do the Jewish people think about this? How does Judaism regard the Christian claim that Jesus is also the Hebrew Messiah? And how do practitioners of the Jewish religion, today, regard the historical figure of Jesus in general?  On this episode of the podcast, the hosts welcome back guest Joshua Stein, to discuss how Jews regard Jesus. Stein currently holds a postdoctoral fellowship at the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. His work focuses on intersections between moral, economic, and political theories and their practical application to social interactions between people and social institutions.  You can read more about this topic, and read some of Stein's writing, in these links: “What Do Jews Believe About Jesus?” by My Jewish Learning https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/what-do-jews-believe-about-jesus/ “Six Reasons Why Jews Don't Believe in Jesus,” by Julius Ciss https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/videos/six-reasons-why-jews-don-t-believe-in-jesus “Behold!

[This blog will always be free to read, but it's also how I pay my bills. So, if you like what you read, please consider a paid subscription. And yes, I do speaking engagements. If you need a Pride Month speaker, hit me up.]Dear Sir,We don't know each other past a brief interaction, and in the event this finds you, wherever you are, tucked behind anonymity, I am hoping it may be of service in your walk with God.We were both on the Amtrak N.E. Regional that initially departed from New York City last Tuesday in the early afternoon. I'm not certain if you boarded at Moynihan Train Hall or shortly afterward in Newark, but by the time we were leaving New Jersey, it was difficult for anyone not to notice you.I was sitting at a table in the Café Car with my back to you and a young man with whom you were engaged in robust conversation. It was a packed ride, and not only were all the tables occupied but there was a considerable line running down the center of the car to purchase food and drinks — which is to say: even in this especially loud part of the train, chatter aplenty, you stood out. I promise I had no desire to eavesdrop, and yet, it was impossible to not hear your conversation. The entire car was forced to listen. I'm not kidding.It started out innocently enough. You were talking about your relationship with Christ, and hey, being a churchgoing person myself, the subject doesn't bother me. You were, I guess, attempting to proselytize to this young man, but it sounded like he was engaging enthusiastically, and the conversation was none of my business. So, I attempted to focus on work.But the volume. My goodness, the volume. This was a moment I cursed myself for leaving my headphones at home, a rookie travel mistake for which I was now paying dearly. You gradually became louder — so loud that out of the corner of my eye, I could see folks at the tables in front of us (and the folks in line), occasionally glancing back with a raised eyebrow. At least one person in line looked back at you and then locked eyes with me, as if to say: is this guy serious right now?I did a small shrug and tried to focus on the many emails waiting patiently in my inbox for a response.And yet… you kept going. It reminded me of that Saturday Night Live character played by Will Ferrell: the voice immodulation activist — not as monotone, mind you, but definitely as concussive. You were, I kid you not, a notch above that volume, just booming over the typical yammering of the Café Car.I was very tired—this was my third roundtrip to NYC from D.C. in less than a week's time, with some sort of work event every evening (multiple events on a few evenings)—and I just didn't have the energy to care.But then, the conversation between you and the young man took a turn. You told him—and the rest of us in the car, as everyone could hear you—about a moment recently when you were talking to one of your work friends about a mutual acquaintance who's a trans woman. You talked about how you misgendered this woman and your friend at work quickly corrected you. This had made you angry because your work friend—apparently, a middle-aged man like yourself—insisted that you not misgender her. This enraged you.During your rant, you said something like “why do we have to pretend to be considerate to these people” — which, in case you're wondering, is positively fantastic to have shouted at the back of one's head when the conversation is about oneself.There was a perceptible drop in the decibel level of the Café Car at that point, and this time, I felt a dozen eyes purposefully scan our corner, including a few that fell directly on me, gauging my reaction. I'm not really allowed to have a reaction. You see, I've been here before. If I say something, I risk inflaming a situation with a person who is clearly primed to be a problem. On the other hand, I'm not gonna run to Amtrak personnel and bother them with a complaint that someone in the Café Car is being rude, which can also inflame the situation. Anyway, those folks are overworked, and I don't wanna drag them into this.There's also the question of how trans folks are generally perceived when we express anger or hurt. It doesn't always go well. In fact, most of the time, it puts people who are not transgender on edge. When we express pain, people who are not transgender have a tendency to get defensive and angry. It's also exhausting. Every trans person has been conditioned to pick our battles and engage selectively. If we responded to every instance of transphobia, from trivial to severe, it's all we'd ever do. So… we have to choose wisely.I did the quick arithmetic and decided to keep my mouth shut and hope the moment would pass quickly. I didn't see a need to escalate things, and honestly, again, I just didn't have the energy.The young man sitting across from you—apparently as caught-off-guard as the rest of us—responded admirably, all things considered. He told you he lives his life and respects how others live their lives. He then changed the subject. You went back to talking loudly about Jesus, and mercifully, my own prayers were answered because I was provided with a sufficient distraction that made me temporarily not care about your presence.The train made another stop, and at some point, I looked up to see someone different sitting across from me: former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley. We exchanged pleasantries, and before I knew it, we were engaged in one of the better conversations on politics and American life I've had in quite some time. Mr. O'Malley is good people. We were both Fellows in different years at the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service, over which we bonded, among other topics. He kindly bought me a drink and regaled me with anecdotes from his storied career in public service. It was a nice respite from, well, you know… your pontificating. Midway through our conversation, there was a ruckus behind me, and I looked back to see you engaged in some kind of heated argument with someone over table space, which got bad enough to the point that, once again, the rest of the Café Car looked back toward our corner as you spat out expletives at this person for whatever reason. I'm sure it was super important.For what it's worth, that outburst felt like a gift because, truth be told, in one fell swoop, you came across as both insecure and in pain. Grown adults don't cuss out strangers over table space in the Amtrak Café Car. Even on bad days, that's not a thing reasonable adults do.Suddenly, things clicked into place, and the marginal hurt over your anti-trans commentary earlier instantly dissolved. I was left simply feeling sorry for you. I don't mean that in a condescending way, I promise. I mean that it made me wonder what's going in your life that you felt this angry and insecure in the company of strangers on a mundane Amtrak ride. It made me wonder what you're going through right now that feels so painful. Your behavior that afternoon came into clearer focus. You're in considerable pain and lashing out at the world.Mr. O'Malley departed at the Baltimore stop, and eventually, you and me and all the rest finally arrived at Union Station in D.C. and began to leave the train.I had forgotten my water bottle, so I doubled back, where a kind gentleman saved it for me, and I noticed you and me were nearly alone in the Café Car. I'm not sure why you hadn't left yet, but there we were. I should point out that one of my biggest weaknesses is my naïveté. I tend to have an annoying faith in the goodness of others, even when they haven't exactly acted with kindness toward me. I've seen this work both ways. Sometimes, it leads to a moment of understanding (and sometimes, even friendship). And sometimes, it leads nowhere, and in those moments, it's hard not to feel foolish for trying.I think I do this because I know I'm profoundly imperfect myself and grace is one of those things that has a way of being reparative far beyond the present issue. We could all use a lot more grace in the world, right?Against my better judgment, I walked up to you and extended my hand. I introduced myself with my first name and, with all the warmth I could summon, told you that I hope you're gonna have a good day. I said it genuinely. I wanted someone to offer you a smile before you left the train and collided into the outside world.With a look of deep annoyance, you quickly shook my hand, went back to gathering your things, and hissed that you were just trying to spread the Gospel. The way you said it as you glanced up gave me the impression you thought it might have an effect equal to that of water being tossed on the Wicked Witch of the West. You, I guess, had thought this was about me overhearing all the Christ chatter — that I was about to confront you on all the Jesus talk. When I responded “Oh, I have no problem with the Gospel; I find sharing it is most effective when done by example rather than words,” you did a double take from the bag you were gathering. Of all the responses I could have given, it was clear this one wasn't on your bingo card. You stood straight up, looked me in the eye, intent on getting the last word and asked (in a bit of a harsh tone): “But do you know the Holy Spirit?”(You asked this not unlike how a certain kinda dude would say “okay, name all their albums in chronological order” if a woman said she liked a particular rock band.)But I do know the Holy Spirit quite well, so I answered in the affirmative. I told you I had known the Holy Spirit for a long time, which is quite true. I know what it means to know the Holy Spirit, to feel the Holy Spirit within me. I don't expect others to understand it, of course, but I get it. I know that feeling. I crave that feeling.I then said: “And the Holy Spirit reminds me that Christ loves you and Christ loves me and we are all called upon to love each other as Christ loves us.”Naïvely, I thought this might thaw the ice between us, but I don't think it did. You were still looking at me, but now, you had the expression of someone who really wants to be angry but you're not sure why. What I had said is something you've heard in your church a thousand times, I'm sure of it. But coming out of my mouth, it was just confusing.You've built this bubble for yourself. You've flooded your daily life with people who sound and think exactly like you do. You thought you had your own language with them, a language only spoken in your church community. Because of that, it's easier for you to disregard the outside world, particularly anyone who doesn't speak your language.And now, suddenly, standing in front of you, here's this trans woman who's fluent in that language and possibly may even speak it with greater efficiency than you do. You stared at me, still angry but unsure what to say. I mean, what could you say in response to that? I promise that all I wanted to do was mend some fences. In my wildest (and naïve) dreams, I had this hope that maybe we'd hit it off and talk about how God is bigger than all of us, how little we understand compared to God's own understanding.Clearly, that wasn't gonna happen, so I said: “I hope you take care, brother.”You looked at me for a beat and muttered “you, too” and walked away in a bit of a huff.If this ever does find you, I hope you'll understand that I recognize you're in pain, and we do odd things when we're in pain. One of the most common phrases of this era, already well-worn, is: “Hurt people hurt people.” I think there's a lot of truth to that. But I also hope you'll understand that exclusion is the opposite of Christ's teachings and has never amounted to anything worthy of the Gospel. Finally, and I say this with love: just because you're not in the Quiet Car doesn't mean you shouldn't be considerate to others.Charlotte's Web Thoughts is a reader-supported publication.

https://youtu.be/laVg3gyfitA The Moral Parity Thesis The conditions under which a person may, in self-defense or the defense of others, deceive, lie to, sabotage, attack, or kill a fellow civilian, or destroy private property, are also conditions under which a civilian may do the same to a government agent (acting ex officio) or government property. The moral parity thesis holds that justifying self-defense or the defense of others against government agents is on par with justifying self-defense or the defense of others against civilians.   – Jason Brennan, Ph.D., When All Else Fails: The Ethics of Resistance to State Injustice (2019, Princeton University Press), p. 11.

This episode provides an update on the political and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. In August 2021, after the United States completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan after twenty years of military presence, the Taliban took control of the country. Almost one year after the withdrawal, other global events have eclipsed Afghanistan in global media headlines, but the situation on the ground remains dire. In this episode, we will explore the most pressing humanitarian issues facing the country, investigate the policy solutions required to support the people of Afghanistan moving forward, and understand how countries should engage with Afghanistan economically and politically.  This episode was recorded prior to the earthquake in Afghanistan and Pakistan on 21 June, 2022. We are joined by our guests Naheed Sarabi and Lina Tori Jan. Naheed Sarabi is the former Deputy Minister for Policy in Afghanistan's Ministry of Finance. Lina Tori Jan is the Afghanistan Program Coordinator at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. This episode was hosted and developed by Alec Greven with support from Livey Beha and Fatima Murchal. Our executive producers are Livey Beha and Read Leask.

My guest today is Aimee Gibson.For over 20 years, Aimee has been supporting and coaching people through times of change and transition in the Peace Corps, as adjunct faculty at American University, as a Principal of a management consulting company and as an executive coach.Aimee is active in both her professional and personal communities. Aimee serves as a Founding Member and At-Large Board Member of the Georgetown Institute for Transformational Learning Graduate Network. Aimee and I first met through the Institute for Transformational Learning Network and serving on a committee together.  We quickly learned our life had a number of parallels including living and working internationally and being what's termed a “trailing spouse” (Aimee with the military and me with the Foreign Service).  We enjoyed working together on some projects and valued the conversations that ensued even when they were challenging.Aimee has recently rebranded her business, Brave Joy.  When I saw that in her email signature I reached out and said tell me the story behind Brave Joy.  Here is what Aimee wrote back: “During a conversation with my mom, Lanny, just before she passed, we talked about how she was able to consistently do hard things and make brave decisions while maintaining joy and continually giving all she was able to others. Mom's answer was to “be brave with joy.” She went on to advise me to do the things in life that feel hard and find joy within the difficulty. As a single working mom, she was a model to me for how to keep moving forward while finding joy. Often for her joy came from helping others; she gave and used her talents and resources, no matter what they were and no matter how they changed over time.”I was so touched and inspired by this and of course, asked Aimee to be on my podcast. Aimee, thank you so much for sharing these pieces of your journey, your wisdom, and the inspiration from your mom.  May we each find ways to be brave with joy!  Make Life Less Difficult

Europe is in the thick of a refugee crisis. Since Russia invaded Ukraine last week, and more than a million Ukrainians have fled to neighboring countries — a number that will keep growing according to the United Nations refugee agency.  The majority of these refugees are women and children; meanwhile, Ukrainian men have been stopped from crossing the border in order to be made available for military conscription. For more on the gender politics in Ukraine, The Takeaway spoke with Amb. Melanne Verveer, Executive Director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security and the first U.S. Ambassador for Global Women's Issues under President Barack Obama.

John Hasnas is a professor at Georgetown University Law Center and Georgetown's McDonough School of Business, and the executive director of the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. John has written some of my favorite pieces of academic legal writing including The Myth of the Rule of Law, The Obviousness of Anarchy, and recently Ten Questions about Democracy. What makes John's work unique is that most legal scholarship is dry, and boring—usually, it seeks promote some minor incremental change in a niche area of the law. John's work forces the reader to think from first principles about the very nature of law and government. It's what the founders of this country did, and what few serious thinkers do today.

Friday, December 3, 2021 Hoover Institution, Stanford University   Michael Douma will be sharing a chapter from his new book on the cultural and economic history of Dutch slavery in New York. There is a long-established view that slavery in New York was neither efficient nor profitable, or perhaps only marginally profitable in its early years. And yet for two hundred years New Yorkers paid to acquire slaves to be put to labor for profit, not just to serve as household decoration. There were some 22,000 slaves in New York across the 18th century who could speak Dutch. Using novel archeological, bills of sale, newspaper, and probate records, the chapter demonstrates that slavery was a long-term investment in New York and that the prices of slaves remained stable over the long run. Michael Douma is assistant research professor at Georgetown University, where he serves as the Director of the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics. His research focuses on 19th century US history, the Dutch world, and the philosophy and methods of history. He is the author of The Colonization of Freed African Americans in Suriname, Veneklasen Brick: The Liberal Approach to the Past, and Creative Historical Writing. ABOUT THE PROGRAM This talk is part of the History Working Group Seminar Series. A central piece of the History Working Group is the seminar series, which is hosted in partnership with the Hoover Library & Archives. The seminar series was launched in the fall of 2019, and thus far has included six talks from Hoover research fellows, visiting scholars, and Stanford faculty. The seminars provide outside experts with an opportunity to present their research and receive feedback on their work. While the lunch seminars have grown in reputation, they have been purposefully kept small in order to ensure that the discussion retains a good seminar atmosphere.

"Hoci sa v posledných rokoch žije ženám vo svete lepšie, pandémia zlepšovanie cih životnej situácie pozastavila. Sú aj krajiny, kde sa ich životné podmienky a okolnosti rapídne zhoršili. Jednou z takých je bezpochyby Afganistan," hovorí riaditeľka Inštitútu pre ženy, mier a bezpečnosť na Georgetownskej univerzite vo Washingtone Jeni Klugman. Afganistan sa ocitol na poslednom mieste zoznamu nedávno publikovanej správy Women Peace and Security Index 2020-2021, ktorá mapuje situáciu v oblasti bezpečnosti, inklúzie a práv žien v 170 krajinách sveta.  Austrálčanka Jeni Klugman je rešpektovanou ekonómkou.

We wanted to feature the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women once more with Foreign Policy Playlist listeners. Since we last shared an episode, HER♀ has topped the charts! And so, we thought it fitting to share our final episode with you. When we considered what to do for this last episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women's first season, it was hard to think of the right people to interview. Who could really comment on what women are facing in the entire world? Thankfully, we were able to connect with two of the most influential women in the world fighting for global gender equality. They reflect on some of the themes we covered on the podcast and what they're doing to move these issues forward. Host Reena Ninan first talks to Melanne Verveer, currently the executive director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security. U.S. President Barack Obama nominated Verveer to serve as the first-ever ambassador for global women's issues in 2009. Before that, Verveer was chief of staff to Hillary Clinton when Clinton was the first lady. Then, Ninan hears from UN Women Deputy Executive Director Anita Bhatia. UN Women is a part of the United Nations that is dedicated to gender equality and female empowerment. It works with governments, the private sector, and civil society around the world to create better programs and laws for women and girls. Bhatia largely focuses on improving women's financial reality, so she shares some of her ideas for the best ways to advance women economically. If you would like to keep in touch with us in the meantime—including sharing ideas of remarkable women we should talk to—feel free to email podcasts@foreignpolicy.com. We hope to be back in your feeds some time soon. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is an FP podcast supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fan-favorite political strategist Mo Elleithee returns to The Remnant today for a discussion of Joe Biden's first six months in office, America's deepening polarization, and how we should understand the results of the 2020 election. With debates over issues like critical race theory and police reform continuing to intensify, has the Democratic Party really shifted as far to the left as conservatives believe? For that matter, what can Mo's latest Battleground Poll tell us about the challenges America faces, and why is the political side of Twitter so inexpressibly hideous? It's a dream come true for lovers of statistics and infrastructure.

Zack, Jenn, and Alex talk about President Joe Biden’s announcement that all remaining US troops will withdraw from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that launched the war. They discuss what the US withdrawal means for the near-term future of Afghanistan, why Biden finally made the tough call that his predecessors couldn’t (or wouldn’t), and what that decision tells us about how Biden sees the future of US military engagement abroad.

On March 18, 2021 the Lannan Center presented a Crowdcast webinar on the subject The View From Abroad: "What Can America Learn from the Experience of Other Nations at a Time of Crisis?" This was the launch event of "Beyond Identity: Reimagining the American Narrative," the Lannan Seminars at Georgetown University, and featured Aleksandar Hemon, Monica McWilliams, Ebrahim Rasool, and Elif Shafak. This event was moderated by BBC's Razia Iqbal. Hosted in association with Beyond Conflict and Beyond Borders Scotland. Cosponsored by the Conflict Resolution Program, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, and the Laboratory for Global Performance and Politics.About the Series “Beyond Identity: Reimagining the American Narrative”Present-day America is suffering from an identity crisis. Americans are raised to believe that democracy, freedom, and opportunity are the values deeply embedded in the nation’s character and practice. Yet, millions of Americans who have spent centuries striving towards equality under the  historic burden of racism, dealing with poverty or the absence of opportunity, might beg to disagree. To use a peacemaking approach is to focus on interests rather than positions, to refocus opposing groups on shared goals. But those goals must be grounded in a shared understanding of the past as the anchor to a shared vision for the future. America is at a reckoning point, in need of reappraisal. The standard response to what constitutes American identity has been: “the principles of liberty, equality, individualism, representative government, and private property”. But how does this character composition  comport with the demons of her past and present? What is to become America’s new narrative? Of her new, more truthful, identity born of both pride and pain?For more information about this series, please visit our website.Music: Quantum Jazz — "Orbiting A Distant Planet" — Provided by Jamendo.

Men have been running the free world since men invented the term “free world.” But from the success of Jacinda Ardern and Angela Merkel at combating the pandemic to the ascension of Kamala Harris to the White House, women are demonstrating their strength as leaders more visibly than ever before. And over the past seven years, Sweden, Canada, France, Luxembourg, and Mexico all have adopted or pledged to implement what they call a “feminist foreign policy.” To that end, these nations have sought to place gender and women’s advancement at the center of every diplomatic decision, from trade agreements to treaty alliances, and from foreign aid to ambassadorial appointments. For these countries, feminist foreign policy also has had costs, including in diminished trade with nations like Saudi Arabia. What can the U.S. learn from countries that have adopted an explicitly feminist foreign policy? How might such a policy change America’s positions and priorities on climate change, migration, and military intervention, and tilt the balance of power around the world? Scripps College professor of politics Nancy Neiman, Foreign Policy Interrupted CEO and co-founder and New America fellow Elmira Bayrasli, Chief Advisor and Foreign Affairs Coordinator for Mexico City Diana Alarcón González, and Melanne Verveer, former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues and Executive Director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, visited Zócalo to explore what a feminist foreign policy would look like for America and the world. This Zócalo/Scripps College panel discussion was moderated by Alisha Haridasani Gupta, gender reporter at the New York Times.

In 1995, tens of thousands of activists gathered in Beijing for the Fourth World Conference on Women to develop a framework to advance gender equality. In light of the conference's 25th anniversary, The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) published Beijing+25: Accelerating Progress for Women and Girls to reflect and provide a roadmap to advance gender equity. GJIA sat down with Dr. Jeni Klugman, managing director of GIWPS, to discuss the report, including new challenges for women in the era of COVID-19.

December 10 is International Human Rights Day, an annual commemoration of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. To celebrate how far we’ve come – and examine the work we still have ahead of us – we bring you this conversation between our host Melanne Verveer, and two distinguished former United States secretaries of state: Madeleine Albright and Hillary Rodham Clinton. This conversation was recorded in October, on the 25th anniversary of the landmark speech Secretary Clinton gave at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women that took place in Beijing. There, she famously declared “women’s rights are human rights.”This episode of Seeking Peace features audio from an event hosted by the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security. This episode was mixed by Martine Chaussard and mastered by Laurent Apffel. Our team includes lead producer Caro Rolando, editor David Alandete, assistant producer Laura Ubaté, production manager Luis Gil, and executive producer Martina Castro.

In this episode no. 38 I speak with Eduardo Gonzalez, who has had a variety of roles in his short career and who is now Project Manager with the Self-representation Litigation Network (“SRLN”). The SRLN is a network of professionals including judges, court administrators, the private bar, technologists and librarians all connecting in relation to access to justice and whose core work is to support collaboration and knowledge sharing. But Eduardo has also worked in legal design both as a consultant and at the NuLawLab at Northeastern University in Boston where he was involved in an exciting project using video games to educate self-represented litigants. For the last couple of years Eduardo has been an Access to Justice Technology fellow at Georgetown Institute for Technology Law and Policy, all experiences we discuss. We covered the challenges in collating. updating and sharing information in a meaningful way, and insights from the participants in the SRLN justice tech working group that Eduardo coordinates. I asked Eduardo towards the end of the interview to predict the future and he rises to the challenge. You will also be surprised to hear that he is able to draw a connection between doorknobs and self-represented litigants. We touched on a really fascinating subject that I haven’t covered in the podcast before now, which is surprising really considering the benefits, and the title about today’s episode gives you a hint about that. You should definitely listen to this episode if you are interested in applying user centric design principles or how to improve knowledge sharing in the interests of a better justice system. I met Eduardo in January and was impressed with his knowledge about the principles of justice sector innovation and his passion for it, and I suspect you’ll hear that coming through in this interview.

Michael Douma, Assistant Research Professor at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown, and Director of the Georgetown Institute for the Study of Markets and Ethics, joins me to discuss what it means to be a classical liberal, or libertarian, historian -- do we have our own methods, are we telling a different story, or what precisely are we doing?

Dr Jeni Klugman, Managing Director, Georgetown Institute for Women Peace and Security, Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government’s Women in Public Policy Program, Harvard University; Hon Dr Sharman Stone, Australian Global Ambassador for Women and Girls; Dr Anu Mundkur, ACFID Secondee to the Australian Civil-Military Centre. Countries are more peaceful and prosperous when women are accorded full and equal rights and opportunity. The new global Women, Peace and Security Index from Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace and Security and the Peace Research Institute Oslo identifies challenges and opportunities for transformative change. The index incorporates three basic dimensions of wellbeing—inclusion (economic, social, political); justice (formal laws and informal discrimination); and security (at the family, community, and societal levels)—and captures and quantifies them through 11 indicators. It ranks 153 countries—covering more than 98 per cent of the world’s population—along these three dimensions in a way that focuses attention on key achievements and major shortcomings. At the Australian launch of the index, Lead Author Jeni Klugman shared details on the main findings, and the utility of the index for groups such as policymakers, civil society and the private sector. She was joined by Australia’s Global Ambassador for Women and Girls, the Hon Dr Sharman Stone, and Dr Anu Mundkur, Australian Council for International Development’s representative on the steering group of the Australian Civil Society Coalition on Women, Peace and Security, to discuss the implications of the index more broadly. The event was followed by a networking reception.

We welcome Briana Mawby to Listen, Ladies. She is the 2017 Hillary Rodham Clinton Research Fellow at the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security. Briana's research focuses on Nepal in the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake, particularly the incredible contributions made by Nepali women as the country recovers, even while they face significant challenges. Plus, a callout for book club recommendations!

At the 1995 Beijing World Conference on Women, Hillary Clinton famously said "Women's rights are human rights, and human rights are women's rights." Listen to two pioneering women describe where they were and what they were thinking when they heard that phrase. Ambassador Melanne Verveer, who was then Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton, listened from backstage. She remembers the decision for Clinton to make that bold statement. Shabana Basij-Rasikh listened from Afghanistan where she, dressed as a boy, was one of few young girls able to attend school. This month on The Bridge podcast, host Peggy Clark interviews Shebana Basij-Rasikh, Afghan educator, humanitarian, and women's rights champion, and Melanne Verveer, executive director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security at Georgetown University, and former United States Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues. Ambassador Verveer and Shabana reflect on women's rights, progress in conflict situations, and their own personal journeys. This week's recommended companion episode is “Sitting in the River: Akaya Windwood and Liz Ogbu." Find it here.

October 23, 2014 | Since the Arab Awakening, the question of women's rights has become, in the view of Western commentators, the litmus test for Muslim societies in the age of democracy and liberalism. The issue is often framed as the opposition between liberal advocates of secular democracy and religious opponents of women's full equality. A panel of scholars, including the Berkley Center's José Casanova and Jocelyne Cesari, will examine this binary opposition and reframe the debate around Islam and women's rights. Participants will provide a broader comparison across religious traditions and cultures through a discussion of religion, secularism, democracy, and gender equality in France, Iran, Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, and the United States. This event is cosponsored by the Berkley Center and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace, and Security.

On the occasion of International Press Freedom Day, World Footprints was invited by the United Nations Foundation to attend a powerful event sought to change the narrative and examine women's voices in fragile states and why those voices matter. The UN Foundation co-hosted a distinguished panel which was led by Ambassador Melanne Verveer of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security. She was joined by Krista Hendry from The Fund for Peace, Amy Slaughter and Yar Ayuel with RefugePoint and award-winning filmmaker Elaisha Stokes. The panel discussed the challenges that women face in fragile states and areas where women are taking the lead in reconciliation. They also examined what happens to girls and women as the most vulnerable and neglected victims in conflict afflicted states, and why telling these stories is important.

Climate change has the potential to exacerbate conflict and political instability, and women will pay a steeper price than their male counterparts when it does, says Mayesha Alam, associate director of the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security, in this week’s podcast. Alam, co-author of a report released late last year on women, climate change, development, and security, said “women face specific gender-based vulnerabilities during armed conflict.” These include sexual violence and loss of property when communities disintegrate and resources become scarce. “As a cross-cutting issue, climate change and environmental degradation intersect with population growth, human mobility, urbanization, and food-water-energy insecurity,” Alam explains. All of these issues have specific gender dimensions and “require tapping the potential and leadership in women and girls to have sustainable and scalable solutions.” In many communities around the world, “women are already having to adapt their lives to survive and care for their dependents,” she says. Yet, “women are forgotten in terms of climate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives all too often.” Many community-based women’s groups are responding to environmental challenges on their own. One example is the Sinsibere cooperative, a group of 300 women from a village south of Bamako, Mali. They work to stop local deforestation and develop climate resilience “by providing environmental education and alternative livelihoods for women, setting up micro-credit systems, and providing training in other trades.” Broader national efforts to address the gender dimensions of climate change have been slower. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has been promoting Climate Change Gender Action Plans as a way to encourage states “to address their climate change and environmental degradation needs but also to address political instability, women's empowerment, and economic sustainability.” So far, only a dozen or so nations have taken up the challenge. Mayesha Alam spoke at the Wilson Center on April 29, 2016.

Since 2010, an all-female peacekeeping contingent has been monitoring a fragile ceasefire between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the southern Philippines. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the peacekeepers, WAPPP Fellow Margaret Jenkins explains how this all-female unit responds to myriad sources of violence, and navigates conservative gender norms. Do these women feel they have been taken seriously by Islamist rebels and Filipino soldiers? What have been their main challenges and successes on the ground? This case is one of several that Jenkins is studying as part of a two-year research project funded by the Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada on the effectiveness and experience of all-female contingents working in conflict zones. Speaker: Margaret Jenkins, Research Associate on Peacekeeping, Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace & Security, Georgetown University; Postdoctoral Fellow, Social Sciences & Humanities Research Council of Canada; WAPPP Fellow
