The discussion explores how these arid spaces serve as political and imperial tools, the role of white experts in influencing desert landscapes, and the intricate history of agricultural projects that link these seemingly distant regions. Chapters include the origins of Koch's interest in the subject, detailed histories of desert colonization, and the broader implications of these transnational connections.00:00 Introduction to Desert Politics01:20 The Unlikely Connection: Arizona and Saudi Arabia02:53 The Story of Hi Jolly and the Camel Experiment11:40 Geography and Its Modern Implications14:45 The Political Significance of Deserts18:38 Colonial and Imperial Narratives22:14 The Role of White Experts in the Arabian Peninsula24:17 Arizona's Colonial History27:46 The Influence of Old World Desert Knowledge30:49 Recruiting White Settlers to Arizona31:41 The Role of Railroads and Pamphlets32:56 Western Mythology and Camels in Films34:41 California's Date Industry and Arabian Influence36:43 The Short-Lived Camel Experiment37:40 Global Connections of Deserts43:42 Transnational Agricultural Projects51:23 Controversies and Misappropriations52:50 Recommended Readings and ResourcesNatalie Koch is a political geographer working on the topics of geopolitics, nationalism, energy and environmental politics, science and technology studies, and sports geography.

"Empowering Indigenous Voices: Highlights from the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit"In this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, I had the pleasure of attending the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. This remarkable event, organized by Mary Jane Oatman, Rob Pero, and the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA), brought together tribal leaders, industry professionals, healthcare experts, and policymakers to discuss critical cannabis and hemp policy issues affecting indigenous communities.Throughout the summit, we engaged in three days of insightful keynotes, roundtables, and panel discussions that covered a wide range of topics, including cannabis economic development, the legal landscape of hemp derivatives, sustainable cultivation, and the role of cannabis in addressing health concerns like PTSD. A key focus was on tribal sovereignty and the need for cannabis policies that reflect the unique needs of indigenous communities.I had the opportunity to sit down with Rob Pero from ICIA, who shared his thoughts on the event's success and the importance of collaboration among diverse voices in the cannabis industry. We discussed how the summit fostered an intimate environment for meaningful conversations and emotional connections, which is often lacking in larger industry events.Mary Jane Oatman also joined me to discuss the history of the ICIA and the significance of this year's summit. She emphasized the importance of partnerships and the need for indigenous communities to have a seat at the table in the broader cannabis conversation.Additionally, I spoke with various attendees, including Eben Sumner, Mike Lamuto, Hunter Buffington, Alicia Fall from Her Many Voices and Ross Sloan, who highlighted the collaborative spirit of the event and the potential for indigenous communities to lead in the cannabis space. The discussions underscored the importance of unity and shared goals in advancing cannabis policy and creating opportunities for underserved communities.Overall, this episode captures the essence of the summit and the exciting developments in the cannabis industry as indigenous voices continue to rise and make an impact. I look forward to seeing how these conversations evolve and the progress we can achieve together in the future.Her Many Voices 00:00:00 - Welcome to the Let's Talk Hemp PodcastIntroduction to the podcast and the host, Morris Beagle, along with the event details.00:01:00 - National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit OverviewDiscussion of the summit's purpose, key topics, and the importance of tribal sovereignty.00:02:00 - Networking and Community BuildingEmphasis on the networking opportunities and the collaborative spirit of the event.00:03:00 - Event Structure and ParticipationRecap of the event's format, including keynotes, panels, and the diversity of participants.00:05:00 - Indigenous Voices in CannabisHighlighting the shift towards more indigenous leadership and representation in the cannabis industry.00:06:00 - Emotional Impact of the SummitDiscussion on the emotional resonance of the event and the importance of shared experiences.00:08:00 - Comparing ConferencesComparison of the intimacy and engagement at this summit versus larger industry events.00:10:00 - Global Connections and Indigenous LeadershipExploration of the potential for indigenous communities to lead in the global hemp and cannabis industries.00:12:00 - International Trade and SovereigntyDiscussion on the advantages of tribal sovereignty in international trade and cannabis.00:14:00 - Collaboration Across OrganizationsThe importance of collaboration among various organizations to advance cannabis policy.00:16:00 - Building a Supportive CommunityRecognition of the need for a supportive community to foster progress in the cannabis industry.00:18:00 - Future of Cannabis and HempLooking ahead to the future of cannabis and hemp industries and the role of indigenous communities.00:19:00 - Mary Jane Oatman InterviewIntroduction to Mary Jane Oatman and her reflections on the summit's success.00:21:00 - History of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry AssociationOverview of the formation and goals of the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association.00:23:00 - Future Events and DatesAnnouncement of the next Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit dates.00:25:00 - Inclusivity and Diverse VoicesDiscussion on the importance of inclusivity and diverse representation in cannabis policy.00:28:00 - Acknowledging Key ContributorsRecognition of individuals and organizations that have contributed to the movement.00:30:00 - Plans for Future SummitsPlans for state-specific summits and continued community engagement.00:32:00 - Gratitude and AcknowledgmentsExpressions of gratitude for the support and collaboration within the community.00:33:00 - Alicia Fall InterviewIntroduction to Alicia Fall and her insights on the conference and her organization.00:35:00 - Global Perspectives on CannabisDiscussion on the global implications of cannabis and the role of indigenous communities.00:37:00 - Collaboration and Unity in the IndustryThe importance of collaboration among organizations for effective policy change.00:39:00 - Passion for the PlantHighlighting the passion and commitment of indigenous communities to the cannabis movement.00:40:00 - Dart Bank's Role in the IndustryRoss Sloan discusses Dart Bank's involvement and support for tribal cannabis initiatives.00:47:00 - Takeaways from the ConferenceFinal thoughts on the conference and the potential for indigenous leadership in cannabis.00:49:00 - Networking and Global ConnectionsReflections on the networking opportunities and the importance of global connections.   Morris Beegle morris@morrisbeegle.com@morrisbeegle @LetsTalkHemp @NoCoHempExpo @ExperienceHemp @WAFBAofficial And a new day will dawn for those who stand long and the forests will echo with laughter Produced by PodConx Sound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/

Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Harvey Kwiyani, a theologian from Malawi, now living in Liverpool and working across the UK, Europe and North America  Harvey tells the story of growing up in rural Malawi, a place evangelised by David Livingstone in 1851, where he  heard God's call as a boy of twelve that he was to become a missionary in Europe. Through the course of their conversation, Jenny and Al learn from Harvey's insights about the current state of Christianity in Europe and America and the challenges around mission in a context of functional atheism.  They discuss the gifts of African Christianity, for example how Ubuntu (“I am because you are”)offers a countercultural and constructive hope to both churches and economies in the West.Harvey Kwiyani works for the Church Mission Society (CMS) in Oxford, UK, where he leads a study centre for global witness and human migration and a Masters programme in African Christianity. Harvey is also the CEO of Global Connections, a UK-based  mission network, and a director of MIssio Africanus, a think tank exploring the rise and role of the African missionary movement in world missions.

The book focuses on a series of paintings by Vermeer and uses them as a starting point to examine the interconnectedness of the world during this period.The title of the book refers to one of Vermeer's most famous paintings, "Girl with a Pearl Earring," in which the subject is wearing a turban coiled with a blue and white drape.

In this episode of the Wisdom Calling podcast, host Bobo Beck interviews Allan Sherer, Director of Global Connections at North Hills Church in Taylors, SC, about the wisdom of cultivating God's heart for the marginalized and vulnerable.Sherer discusses the importance of seeing the poor and vulnerable through the lens of God's love and compassion, and he shares practical ways that we can live out our faith in this area. He also talks about the importance of connecting our hearts to our theology, and how our understanding of God should shape the way we treat others.This episode is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about how to live a life of generosity and compassion, and how to be a better advocate for the marginalized and vulnerable in our communities.Key takeaways from the episode:Poverty is often rooted in brokenness of relationships (with God, self, others).There is a direct connection between our personal piety/holiness and how we think about and treat people, especially the poor.Generosity is not just about money, but also about time, skills, and leveraging human and social capital.God wants our hearts more than anything else.There is a relationship between obedience and blessing, and between disobedience and cursing/lack of blessing.We can cultivate a heart for the marginalized and vulnerable by getting to know God as the one who hears the cries of the poor and is compassionate.We should not think about or engage with the poor and marginalized in a way that is patronizing or dehumanizing. Instead, we should see them as people who are loved by God and who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.Resources mentioned in the episode:North Hills Church https://northhillschurch.com/New Way Global https://www.newway.global/The Judson School https://thejudsonschool.com/Yass Prize https://yassprize.org/awardees/new-way-global/Acton Institute - Effective Stewardship (curriculum) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2YhagjmWvB9W74vf16yuVx6IH1RM7SsOChalmers Center https://chalmers.org/When Helping Hurts (book) https://chalmers.org/resources/books/Walking With the Poor (book) https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Poor-Principles-Transformational-Development/dp/1570759391Tyler Staton https://www.tylerstaton.com/Bryan Stevenson; Just Mercy (book/film) https://justmercy.eji.org/Bob Goff; Dream Big (book) https://www.bobgoff.com/shopSupport the showYou can order the devotionals at https://wisdomcalling.org

“Travel has become a way to remind myself how it feels to get lost, and then get unlost. It is a way to remember the discomfort of uncertainty and the unfamiliar. It's an exercise in receiving the unexpected.”  –Kristin Van Tassel In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Kristin discuss being in DC, living in Kansas, and Kristin's family trip to Mexico using migrant-economy buses (1:30); how seeking international restaurants and grocery stores at home can be a window into distant cultures (8:00); Kristin's motivation to learn Spanish in middle age, and how it connects to her perspective as a teacher (16:00); Kristin's harrowing experience of getting lost on a run in Nairobi in 1990, and how getting lost in a place is a way of experiencing it in a deeper way (20:30); how Kristin experienced the country and culture of Moldova through soups and salads while being hosted there by a former student (34:30); and how to stay open to being lost without compromising yourself, and embrace unfamiliar languages as a traveler and learner (41:00). Kristin Van Tassel teaches writing and American literature at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas. She writes essays and poetry about place, teaching, motherhood, and travel.
