The natural world faces unprecedented threats, challenging historical perceptions of nature as inexhaustible. Photographer Tim Flach draws on his acclaimed works, including Endangered, More Than Human, and Birds, to reveal how photography transcends traditional wildlife representation.

Aflevering 5 van het derde seizoen van Afgestaan gaat over Richard. Richard is de eerste vader die zijn verhaal vertelt. Richard groeide op in een arbeidersbuurt in Rotterdam waar grote gezinnen in kleine woninkjes woonden. Het is geen hecht gezin.Richard:” Dus dat was een straat vol met kinderen omdat die allemaal de straat op gestuurd werden… Dus ik ben ook een straatjochie…”Als hij stage loopt voor de MTS leert hij een meisje kennen. Ze hebben het leuk, gaan naar concerten van de Kinks en de Stones. Inmiddels woont Richard bij zijn broer en heeft hij geen contact meer met zijn ouders, zij hebben geen interesse in hem.Dan blijkt dat zijn vriendinnetje zwanger is. Ze is nog jong, Richard wordt verantwoordelijk gehouden en de relatie wordt verbroken onder druk van haar familie. Haar ouders en huisarts komen tot een beslissing.Richard:”Ik heb vrij snel te horen gekregen dat ze dus de zwangerschap uit zou dragen en het kind af zou staan… ik weet ook nog wel dat er ook aardig op ingepraat is zeg maar door ja wat ik dan denk, De Raad van de Kinderbescherming zeg maar om het kind te ontfutselen.”Richard gaat werken zodat er salaris binnenkomt en probeert nog huisvesting te regelen “maar een meisje van 15 en een jongen van 19 zijn niet geschikt om samen een kind op te voeden”, zo vindt men. Zijn kind wordt afgestaan en hij zal het pas leren kennen als het zelf volwassen is.De moeder van zijn kind schrijft hem nog wel een brief waarin ze laat weten dat als zij volwassen is ze het kind nog kan terugvragen. Uiteindelijk gebeurt dat niet terwijl Richard laat weten dat hij daar wel over wil praten. Als Richard hoort dat hij een dochter heeft, vertelt hij dat niet aan zijn ouders, er is geen interesse. Gelukkig kan hij met een goede vriendin en tijdens zijn studie op de kunstacademie wel over de situatie praten.Richard:”Ik heb met iedereen heb ik daar altijd over gepraat hoor. Ik vertelde het gewoon. Ja, het is voor mij ook één van de zwaarste dingen die ik met me meedraag.”Als zijn dochter volwassen is en zelf al een gezin heeft ontmoeten ze elkaar voor de eerste keer. Ze hebben direct goed en veel contact.Richard:”Er is behoefte is om in elkaars nabijheid te zijn. Sommige mensen zeggen verloren tijd inhalen, maar dat is het niet. Het is gewoon… Het is een stukje van jezelf.”Deze podcast gaat over een vader die geen vader mocht zijn maar dat wel graag gewild had. Over het buitenspel gezet worden door familie en instanties en over het schuldgevoel dat dit zijn hele leven al oproept. Had ik er niet harder voor moeten knokken, moeten mannen niet een actievere rol spelen? Luister naar een vader die hoopt dat met het vertellen van zijn verhaal  er meer vaders volgen, want die horen ook gewoon bij deze geschiedenis.Shownotes:Afstandsvaders in de media:https://www.trouw.nl/voorpagina/van-breukelen-afstandsvaders-bestaan-niet-toen-niet-en-nu-nog-niet~b48f5c41/Internationaal onderzoek over de rol van de afstandsvader:Gary Clapton PhD, Honorary Fellow at University of Edinburghhttps://www.researchgate.net/profile/Gary-Clapton-2Handelseditie: https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/f/birth-fathers-and-their-adoption-experiences/38351650/Stichting Verleden in Zicht voor Nederlandse afstandskinderen en binnenlands geadopteerden.https://verledeninzicht.nl/Email: info@verledeninzicht.nlInterviews: Georgia Gradenwitz- Kemp en Carine DorgeloAudionabewerking: Konstantin Johannes van The Sound RepublicEindredactie en montage: Carine Dorgelo© 2023- 2025 Carine Dorgelo& Georgia Gradenwitz- Kemp

Inspired by leaders such as Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson, the online Manosphere has exploded in recent years. Dedicated to anti-feminism, these communities have orchestrated online campaigns of misogynistic harassment, with some individuals going as far as committing violent terrorist attacks. Although the Manosphere has become a focus point of the media, researchers and governments alike, discussions tend to either over-sensationalize the community or offer simplistic explanations for their existence. This book uses a mixture of historical and economic analysis, alongside actual Manosphere content, to delve deeper. With The Male Complaint: The Manosphere and Misogyny Online (Polity, 2025), Simon James Copland explains how the Manosphere has developed and why it appeals to so many men. He argues that the Manosphere is not an aberration, but is deeply embedded within mainstream, neoliberal, social structures. For a cohort of alienated men, the promise of community provides a space of understanding, connection and purpose. This insightful book dares to dig into the corners of incel communities and online spaces where misogyny thrives. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand, and do something about, this growing and worrying phenomenon. Simon Copland is Honorary Fellow at the Australian National University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Robert Misik im Gespräch mit Daniel Cohn-Bendit und Claus LeggewieZURÜCK ZUR WIRKLICHKEITHellwach und blitzgescheit, der Liebe zum Widerspruch ebenso treu wie der Melange aus Realpolitik und Utopie: ein unverzagter Blick zurück nach vorn.Katastrophen darf man nicht persönlich nehmen, auch wenn eine Hoffnung nach der anderen schwindet: die auf dauerhaften Frieden, auf ein starkes Europa, auf ein multikulturelles Zusammenleben, auf eine nachhaltige Weltgesellschaft.Was ist schiefgegangen, wo liegen die Fehler, aber auch: Was ist trotz allem möglich? Ohne Illusionen, ohne Weinerlichkeit, ohne Zorn und ohne Rechthaberei schauen Daniel Cohn-Bendit und Claus Leggewie zurück und gleichzeitig mitten hinein in die aktuelle Wirklichkeit.Ihr unangepasstes Denken und die lange politische Erfahrung machten beide zu begehrten Kommentatoren, sei es zum Nahostkonflikt, dem Aufstieg der Rechten oder zur französischen und US-amerikanischen Politik. Die aus langen Diskussionen gewonnenen Einsichten sind in einer politisch so heiklen Lage wie der jetzigen von besonders hohem Wert.In diesem Buch erzählen sie von Meilensteinen in ihrem Leben und verraten auch weniger Bekanntes wie etwa die herausfordernden Beratungstätigkeiten für Merkel und Macron.Daniel Cohn-Bendit, genannt Dany, Ikone im französischen Mai 1968 und bekannt geworden als anti-autoritäre Autorität der 70er. Kein Berufsrevolutionär geworden, sondern Kindergärtner, Buchhändler, Herausgeber des Sponti-Magazins ›Pflasterstrand‹, Realo-Anführer bei den Grünen, 1990 Stadtrat für Multikulturelle Angelegenheiten in Frankfurt, dann zwanzig Jahre Mitglied des Europaparlaments, abwechselnd als Spitzenkandidat in Deutschland und in Frankreich.Heute Autor von Dokumentarfilmen, Debattenredner und Kommentator des Zeitgeschehens in französischen und deutschen Medien.Claus Leggewie, Jahrgang 1950, Politologe und Publizist. Zehn Jahre Direktor des Kulturwissenschaftlichen Instituts in Essen und Berater der Bundesregierung in Sachen Globale Umweltveränderungen. 2021 Honorary Fellow am Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles.Derzeit Ludwig-Börne-Professor an der Universität Gießen und Initiator des ›Panel on Planetary Thinking‹, das die Grenzen zwischen Natur und Kultur verflüssigt. Bei Wagenbach erschien u.a. »Die Konsultative. Mehr Demokratie durch Bürgerbeteiligung« (mit Patrizia Nanz) sowie »Die Visegrád-Connection. Eine Herausforderung für Europa« (mit Ireneusz Paweł Karolewski).Moderation: Robert Misik, Autor und Journalist

The concept of eudaimonia, rooted in Aristotelian philosophy, is more than just happiness. Eudaimonia represents a state of good spirit and the realisation of one's full potential. It's about creating environments that support individuals in becoming their best selves across different life stages and circumstances. I sat down with Jenna Mikus to explore the concept and find out how we can weave this into Biophilic Design. Jenna is founder of the Eudae Group and an Honorary Fellow at the University of Melbourne, and focuses on this concept, bridging engineering, philosophy, and design to create spaces that truly support human flourishing. Eudaimonia manifests itself in Jenna's recent projects across healthcare and educational settings. In hospitals, she challenges traditional design creating spaces that support all users of the space, staff, patients and families. Imagine healing environments with dedicated family zones, access to natural views, and carefully curated sensory experiences that help process difficult emotions. All of this will resonate with Biophilic Designers. Jenna's own professional journey is anything but conventional. With a background in mechanical engineering, art history, and business, she represents the antithesis of traditional siloed thinking. Her career trajectory—from government consulting to architectural design—reflects a deep commitment to understanding how environments can profoundly impact human experience. In educational spaces, Jenna advocates for neuro-inclusive design. We need classrooms with varied lighting zones, comfortable materials, and flexible spaces that accommodate different learning styles. The goal is to create environments that inspire learning by understanding how space can activate creativity and engagement. All these things are also woven into Biophilic Design. In our conversation she shares that we can all bring these large-scale learnings into small-scale real-world situations. When her father experienced a serious health crisis, Jenna applied her design principles directly. By carefully controlling environmental factors—ensuring good air quality, playing classical music he loved, and creating visual references to positive memories—she supported his cognitive recovery. Just like the Journal of Biophilic Design, crucially, Jenna emphasises breaking down disciplinary barriers. She sees innovation happening in the "messy middle" between traditional fields, advocating for a more holistic, collaborative approach to design. This means bringing together engineers, architects, psychologists, and other professionals to create truly comprehensive solutions. Biophilic design plays a central role in this approach. Drawing inspiration from indigenous philosophies that emphasize human connection with place, Jenna believes our environments should reflect our fundamental need to connect with nature. It's not just about adding plants or windows but creating meaningful interactions between human spaces and natural systems. Her vision extends beyond individual buildings to broader societal transformation. By designing with empathy, inclusivity, and a deep understanding of human needs, we can create spaces that support individual and collective well-being. This approach recognizes that our built environments are not just physical structures, but active participants in human experience. When asked to paint the world with a "magic brush of biophilia," Jenna envisions a landscape of open-mindedness, beautiful light, and empowering interactions. She sees design as a tool for uplifting individuals, societies, and planetary health—achieving a symbiotic relationship that allows humans to truly flourish. Her upcoming presentation at the Biophilic Design Conference promises to further explore these ideas, offering insights into how we can reimagine design as a holistic practice that supports human potential. For architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating more supportive environments, Jenna offers a compelling message: Design is not just about creating spaces, but about nurturing human potential. By understanding the deep psychological and philosophical dimensions of our built environment, we can create spaces that don't just shelter us, but actively support our growth, creativity, and well-being. I was so happy to interview Jenna, as I love her interdisciplinary approach. It's important to remind ourselves that thoughtful, empathetic design can be a powerful catalyst for individual and collective transformation. Biophilic Design helps us articulate this into the real world. To find out more about Jenna and Eudaimonia, connect with her on LinkedIn, her Google Scholar page and visit the Harvard FxD page.

Through a thematic and broadly chronological approach, WOLSEY (Routledge, 2020) offers a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of a man who was responsible for building Henry VIII's reputation as England's most impressive king.  The book reviews Thomas Wolsey's record as the realm's leading Churchman, Lord Chancellor and political patron and thereby demonstrates how and why Wolsey became central to Henry's government for 20 years. By analysing Wolsey's role in key events such as the Field of Cloth of Gold, the study highlights how significant Wolsey was in directing and conducting England's foreign relations as the king's most trusted advisor. Based on up-to-date research, Richardson not only newly appraises the circumstances of Wolsey's fall but also challenges accusations of treason made against him. This study provides a new appreciation of Wolsey's importance as a cultural and artistic patron, as well as a royal administrator and politician; roles which helped to bring both Henry VIII and England to the forefront of foreign relations in the early-sixteenth century.  Presenting Wolsey in his contemporary and historiographical contexts more fully than any currently available study, Wolsey is perfect for students of Tudor England. Author: Glenn Richardson is a Professor of Early Modern History at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and is an Honorary Fellow of the Historical Association. Dr. Kristen Vitale Engel, Assoc. FRHistS, Department of History at Southern New Hampshire University, Global, Editor-in-Chief of "The Court Observer" for The Society for Court Studies, Submissions Editor for the Royal Studies Journal and International Ambassador for HistoryLab+ in partnership with the Institute of Historical Research.

Emotion lies at the heart of all national movements, and Zionism is no exception. For those who identify as Zionist, the word connotes liberation and redemption, uniqueness and vulnerability. Yet for many, Zionism is a source of distaste if not disgust, and those who reject it are no less passionate than those who embrace it. The power of such emotions helps explain why a word originally associated with territorial aspiration has survived so many years after the establishment of the Israeli state.Zionism: An Emotional State (Rutgers UP, 2023) expertly demonstrates how the energy propelling the Zionist project originates from bundles of feeling whose elements have varied in volume, intensity, and durability across space and time. Beginning with an original typology of Zionism and a new take on its relationship to colonialism, Penslar then examines the emotions that have shaped Zionist sensibilities and practices over the course of the movement's history. The resulting portrait of Zionism reconfigures how we understand Jewish identity amidst continuing debates on the role of nationalism in the modern world. Derek Penslar is the William Lee Frost Professor of Jewish History and the Director of the Center for Jewish Studies at Harvard University. He previously taught at Indiana University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Oxford, where he was in inaugural holder of the Stanley Lewis Chair in Modern Israel Studies. Penslar has published a dozen books, most recently Zionism: An Emotional State (2023). He is currently writing a book titled The War for Palestine, 1947-1949: A Global History. Penslar is a past president of the American Academy for Jewish Research, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and an Honorary Fellow of St. Anne's College, Oxford.

Op het scherm en op het podium speelt ze verschillende rollen, maar buiten de spotlights worstelde ze lang met de vraag: wie ben ik als ik niet speel? In gesprek met actrice en schrijver Dilan Yurdakul.Dilan Yurdakuls Turkse achtergrond, de verwachtingen van haar omgeving en haar eigen ambities kwamen niet altijd moeiteloos samen. Hoe vind je als maker je eigen stem? Hoe verhoud je je tot culturele tradities en maatschappelijke verwachtingen als je tegelijkertijd wilt breken met stereotypen? Een gesprek over de spanning tussen autonomie en afkomst, tussen ambitie en de rolpatronen die ons toch blijven beïnvloedenDilan Yurdakul (1991) Dilan Yurdakul is actrice, schrijfster en theatermaakster. Ze studeerde Europese studies en Duitse taal en cultuur aan de UvA, maakte de solovoorstellingen Door de schaduw heen, Niet gezien, niet gehoord en Alter.

Research shows that by the time a girl reaches age 11, she has built the belief system that you earn love by pleasing others. But as we know, a life built around that sentiment, is destined for poor mental health when your internal reward system is - put others happiness before your own, to please and ‘be a good girl’ in the eyes of the community around us. Dr. Michelle McQuaid spent years of her adult life ticking the boxes of what we are told will provide us fulfilment and happiness - a great career, good financial income, getting married and having children and once those boxes were ticked, life will set and fulfilling. But what happens when you tick those boxes, yet you find yourself ignoring your inner voice in the sacrifice to achieve them and side-line your mental well-being to keep it on track? Dr. McQuaid found herself exhausted, burnt out and deeply unhappy and it came to a point after her midlife, where it was time to stop and look at how did she get here, and why was she so conditioned to ignore her sense of self to achieve the ideals of others. So we sit down with Dr. McQuaid, an Honorary Fellow of the Centre for Wellbeing Science at Melbourne University, blogs for Psychology Today, and has been featured in Forbes, the Harvard Business Review, the Wall Street Journal and more to unpack what she has learned through research around the grooming of good girls and it’s impact as the good girl grows into a women.

In this episode, I talk with the incredible Tobias Churton—renowned scholar of the esoteric and spiritual mysteries—for a mind-opening conversation about his latest book, The Books of Enoch Revealed: The Wicked Watchers, Metatron, and the Fruits of Forbidden Knowledge...Together, we explore the full story of Enoch, the prophet and great-grandfather of Noah, who was said to be taken up into the heavens for direct instruction from the Divine. Tobias unpacks the complex legacy of the Watchers— fallen angels who descended to Earth and unleashed forbidden knowledge that reshaped humanity forever. We also trace the Book of Enoch's journey through time, from its influence in Second Temple Judaism to its esoteric echoes in the Kabbalah and Gnostic traditions.Tobias takes us beyond the surface, bringing clarity to misunderstood prophecies and shedding new light on the apocalyptic visions that have captured imaginations for millennia. We talk about how Enoch's story lived on in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, survived through the Dead Sea Scrolls, and birthed fascinating offshoots like 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch—texts filled with cosmic revelations and hidden wisdom...

On today's episode, Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid sheds light on the history of Ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, gave rise to writing, literature, astronomy, and law - shaping human history in ways that still resonate today. Drawing on her new book Between Two Rivers, Al-Rashid brings to life the stories of ordinary people from thousands of years ago: working mothers, enslaved individuals seeking freedom, and even a princess who may have founded the first museum. In conversation with archeologist and author Rebecca Wragg Sykes, Al-Rashid discusses the earliest written records, from economic tallies to personal letters, and explores how Mesopotamians grappled with timeless human concerns - love, illness, ambition, and the quest for knowledge. Why does Mesopotamia often remain in the shadow of Egypt and Greece? And what can we learn from this ancient civilization today? Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Oxford's Wolfson College, where she specialises in the languages and history of ancient Mesopotamia. She has written for academic and popular journals, including History Today, on topics as diverse as mental illness in ancient Mesopotamia to Late Assyrian scholarly networks.

Hear from Prof. Aled Jones, Director of the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University, as we dive into the role of models in shaping policy, and particularly their weaknesses.  Models are not neutral – they reflect the assumptions, values, and agendas of those that create and use them. Using the energy system as an example, models can (and have been) used to protect the status quo. In part, this is because many of the models are based on the notions of ‘equilibrium' and so they simply can't cope with major structural changes, such as the current energy transition. But it can be difficult for policy makers to switch towards models that are arguably more suited to the job. So, what can we do to supplement the models? One very effective approach is to adopt a structured process of expert elicitation, where we use the insights of experts to uncover vulnerabilities and risks. To bring it to life, we explore how this has worked in the case of the food system. We discuss: The role that models play in shaping energy policy, and how they can lead us astray; How expert judgment and insight can help address model blind spots; and Finally, what are the key lessons for risk professionals?
