Where and with whom do we begin? In Part 2 of the #CaribbeanThought Summer 2024 Week 1 Lecture, Prof. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary laid the foundation for the course. Prof. McKenzie reviewed the course outline and delved into some broad thinkers, texts, and general questions of the course. Rev. McKenzie begins the Lecture by making the point that, the realities of the dark ghettoes and or black and brown communities resemble the colonies and or former colonies within the caribbean. The socioeconomic realities of the black and brown peoples in the global north are similar to that of the black experience in the Caribbean which is largely made up of nations that are made of the predominantly black. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.  It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people in a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. However, the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in a deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy. At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and considering issues that will make you uncomfortable. Frantz Fanon, Homi Bhabha, C. L. R. James, Bob Marley et al, and Christianity/Religion, music and sports are currents we will explore. The episode has images of course resources; such as texts, maps, notable characters that will be referenced throughout the course, etc. The Lecture is very informative and provides an introductory level to the discussions in postcolonialism with academia and Pan African Thought. The Lecture is part of a course offered at Jamaica Theological Seminary and students seeking a 4-year degree at the seminary are required to sit the course. The course follows strict academic rigor and scrutiny. There is an exam at the end of the course. which students are required to sit. The lecture episodes are a production of The Neoliberal Corporation and are made available on The NeoLiberal Round podcast and YouTube channel for educational purposes and to promote and facilitate access to critical thinking and learning.

Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante & Literary Curator for the Guadalupe Culturalarts Center's Latino Bookstore, spotlights Dr. Mehnaaz Momen's LISTENING TO LAREDO: A BORDER CITY IN A GLOBALIZED AGE. in a lively discussion on place, identity, and the changing conditions of an American border city. Dr. Mehnaaz Momen is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences at Texas A&M International University and the author of THE PARADOX OF CITIZENSHIP IN AMERICAN POLITICS AND POLITICAL SATIRE, POSTMODERN REALITY, AND THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (Arizone Press) Her new book, LISTENING TO LAREDO: A BORDER CITY IN A GLOBALIZED AGE, gives an in depth look at the burgeoning Texas town that has grown. Nestled between Texas and Tamaulipas, @officialcityoflaredo was once a quaint border town, nurturing cultural ties across the border, attracting occasional tourists, and serving as the home of people living there for generations. In a span of mere decades, Laredo has become the largest inland port in the United States and a major hub of global trade. Listening to Laredo is an exploration of how the dizzying forces of change have defined this locale, how they continue to be inscribed and celebrated, and how their effects on the physical landscape have shaped the identity of the city and its people. Bringing together issues of growth, globalization, and identity, Mehnaaz Momen traces Laredo's trajectory through the voices of its people. In contrast to the many studies of border cities defined by the outside—and seldom by the people who live at the border—this volume collects oral histories from seventy-five in-depth interviews that collectively illuminate the evolution of the city's cultural and economic infrastructure, its interdependence with its sister city across the national boundary, and, above all, the strength of its community as it adapts to and even challenges the national narrative regarding the border. The resonant and lively voices of Laredo's people convey proud ownership of an archetypal border city that has time and again resurrected itself.

Recorded on 7 September 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Daniel O'Neill. With the globalization of the church, a missional theology has emerged which addresses the universal quest for health and wholeness in various contexts of suffering and affliction. The spread of Christianity, particularly as it is occurring in the global South, has led to a fuller view of God, human health, and the church's role in health and healing. The splendor of the nations which are brought into the repository of this kingdom includes the sanctified healing practices of the nations. Exploring perspectives from Latin America, Africa, and Asia, we will try to how we can see that as each culture and tradition interacts, not only is there mutual learning and correction of limited views, but a more comprehensive understanding of the God who heals and a more effective call of his people to actively participate in that healing for the nations. Daniel O'Neill, MD, MTh is a physician-theologian and managing editor of Christian Journal for Global Health, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and holds a master's degree in theological studies from Bethel Seminary. He has served on health and development projects among impoverished or displaced populations.

This is Lecture 5 of Caribbean Thought, a course at the Jamaica Theological Seminary Lectured by Rev. Renaldo C. McKenzie, Dated February 10, 2023. This is a continuation of week 4 and the Lecture series towards developing a Caribbean Thought Journal. The Lecture was quite powerful as usual. We continued from week 4, conceptualizing the course Caribbean Thought when we had asked, "what is Caribbean Thought, and who determines this?" This week we ask, why who determines this and why is it important for us to revisit the past. The lecture delved into this question by lifting up a current situation in the Caribbean - The Haitian Crisis - where The US and Canada is pressuring the Caribbean to intervene in Haiti on their behalf. We examine this issue in relation to the Caribbean socio-economic challenges which has defined present realities which imposes on cultural identity. We explored this within the context of our understanding of the Caribbean being part of the pan-African struggle for not just independence but economic prosperity that allows them to compete. When we go back in history, we explore situations where the Caribbean's inability to truly realize pan-African goals in light of strategy that continue to keep these peoples and countries down - Debt. We begin the class by revisiting the conclusion of the class: "...the Caribbean represents a people who have been disrupted, detached, displaced, hybridized and made into dependent capitalist states with some level of modernity to promote consumption within the neoliberal globalized world which is largely a consumer society." We then moved into Lecture 5 by exploring the course outline: Course Description: This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense.... The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean and the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty....Among the thinkers/works that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul, W. Benjamin, M. Foucault, Franz Fanon, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhabha, Mike Davis, Nelson/Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garnett Roper, Rex Nettleford and the Professor's Works. We then begin to explore Caribbean thinkers: Ramesh F. Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Commonwealth Caribbean," Yet we say: We celebrate #Haiti as the 1st former colonized black country to successfully lead a revolution beating Napoleon. But France turned around & charged them 24 billion to recognize their freedom which Haiti gullibly paid—that has held them down. We concluded with Edward Seaga PM of Jamaica in a 1983 Lecture: "I wish to talk to you about the strategy which I believe can best attain a quality of life for the peoples of Middle Level countries of the developing world," (Seaga, 1983, p. 23, in New Directions.) https://theneoliberal.com. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal/support

Ramsaran who wrote in the Preface of his book, "The structural adjustment issue is, not surprisingly, one surrounded by intense controversy and emotion.

At the end they will create their own Caribbean thought leading to a Caribbean Academic Journal of Young academics and future scholars. The Course will make you estranged from self, but it is geared towards getting you out of your bubble and to consider issues that will make you uncomfortable. The WES explored ways that we can prepare students for the global world. That means moving from the local and turning to the global as we are global citizens. The course surveys the history and philosophy of the Caribbean, the ways in which the Caribbean has emerged as a society in the shadow of colonialism and emergence of neoliberal Globalization. It examines the central ideological currents of twentieth century political thought in the region and covers broad topics such as Colonialism, Nationalism, Pan-Africanism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism, Democratic Socialism and Neo-Conservatism, Neoliberalism, Globalization and Deconstructivism, Critical Race Theory, Strategy and the Foundations of Knowledge and the Hegemony of Faith, Economic Inequality and Poverty.  Among the thinkers that will be considered throughout the course are Marcus Garvey, George Padmore, C.L.R. James, Franz Fanon, Homi Bhaba, Walter Rodney, Fidel Castro, Michael Manley, Edward Seaga, Bob Marley Kamau Brathwaite, Edouard Glissant and the Negritude movement generally, Homi Bhaba, Mike Davis, Nelson and Novella Keith, Stephanie Black and Jamaica KinCaid, Garrnett Roper, Rex Nettleford etc. Themes will be drawn from a selection of contemporary newspaper columnists, talk‐show hosts and the ideas behind the major international agencies and institutions, which have shaped post-independence policies. The selection of thinkers and social movements to be examined will vary with each semester. This is Part 1. 1. Introductions 2.

This episode begins the Lecture Series at the Jamaica Theological Seminary on Caribbean Thought: Towards Developing a Caribbean Thought Academic Audio Journal. This is a video episode uploaded from the class Zoom Recording as I am teaching the course via an online face-to-face module while here in Philadelphia USA. This course focuses on and explores the diverse currents of Caribbean Thought, which have influenced the development of Caribbean societies from colonialism to independence and beyond. It traces the history of resistance and examines the quest for equality and the challenge of defining Caribbean identity within this post-colonial and neoliberal Globalized world not just within the geographic sense but also in terms of a diasporic sense. It challenges the students to develop and express their own critical thinking as a Caribbean people within a unique way that helps to realize further the hope of a free independent Caribbean that is bursting with hope and opportunity. But the course understands that it requires that students begin to critique and explore their own thinking in deeply esoteric and critical way that deconstructs history and philosophy.

Sesame Street has taught generations of Americans their letters and numbers, and also how to better understand and get along with people of different races, faiths, ethnicities, and temperaments. But the show has a global reach as well, with more than thirty co-productions of Sesame Street that are viewed in over 150 countries. In recent years, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided funding to the New York-based Sesame Workshop to create international versions of Sesame Street. Many of these programs teach children to respect diversity and tolerate others, which some hope will ultimately help to build peace in conflict-affected societies. In fact, the U.S. government has funded local versions of the show in several countries enmeshed in conflict, including Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, Jordan, and Nigeria. Can Big Bird Fight Terrorism?: Children's Television and Globalized Multicultural Education (Oxford UP, 2019) takes an in-depth look at the Nigerian version, Sesame Square, which began airing in 2011. In addition to teaching preschool-level academic skills, Sesame Square seeks to promote peaceful coexistence-a daunting task in Nigeria, where escalating ethno-religious tensions and terrorism threaten to fracture the nation. After a year of interviewing Sesame creators, observing their production processes, conducting episode analysis, and talking to local educators who use the program in classrooms, Naomi Moland found that this child-focused use of soft power raised complex questions about how multicultural ideals translate into different settings. In Nigeria, where segregation, state fragility, and escalating conflict raise the stakes of peacebuilding efforts, multicultural education may be ineffective at best, and possibly even divisive. This book offers rare insights into the complexities, challenges, and dilemmas inherent in soft power attempts to teach the ideals of diversity and tolerance in countries suffering from internal conflicts.

Are you travelling this summer? Now that many countries have implemented workable solutions for tackling covid in all its variants, international travel has burst open again. It has given rise to an influx of tourism in certain countries across the globe, to the point where the airline industry has shaken under the weight of it all. So we thought it a timely occasion to take a closer look at the way we travel and its broader global impact for better and/or worse. This episode focuses on our social responsibilities as travellers; What does it mean for environmental sustainability when we consider the effects of our carbon footprint both en route and during our time spent at the destination? How is cultural preservation affected in places inundated with tourists, where the disneysation of towns and cities begins to undermine the social fabric? And what about those of us who are native (or practically native) English speakers? We discuss the privileges of having our mother tongue as the universal (second) language with which to connect to the world. But how much does that diminish our cultural sensitivity to other languages? As we scratch the surface of each of these pressing topics, we seek you, friends and listeners, to reflect and share your thoughts with us on how to create better, more sustainable travel experiences that enrich the lives of everyone in the value chain. *SUBSCRIBE  TO  US!* ✅ @Modern Idealist on Spotify / Apple Podcast / Google Podcast ✅  Instagram: ModernIdealistPodcast ✅ Linkedin: Modern Idealist Podcast *CONNECT  WITH  US!* Tell us what you enjoyed and what you want to hear more of! ✨ Email: ModernIdealistPodcast@gmail.com ✨ SHARE WITH A FRIEND --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/modernidealist/message

In this episode, we focus on a very slippery material: palm oil. It can be found in a huge amount of food, health products, medicine, clothing, and technology. Despite its ubiquity, the history and centrality of palm oil in globalized capitalism have tended to be overlooked. In this episode, we speak to Max Haiven, Canada Research Chair in Culture, Media and Social Justice at Lakehead University. Max is the author of a new book, Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire, which will be published in April by Pluto Press.

In this episode, I chat with my good friend Gustavo Guillemin about Communicating Across Cultures. Gustavo is a published author, a Professor, and had delivered TEDTalks. The world today is Globalized. We can often find ourselves in situations where we need to communicate effectively with people from different cultures. This is not just a necessity at work. It is highly likely that your neighbors or the people you socialize with come from different cultures. Gustavo and I share stories about times when we both made notable mistakes while communicating with people of different cultures. Gustavo also shares the Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory.
