In this episode of Guerrilla History, we first provide a small bit of information about the retribution that friend (and future guest) of the show Momodou Taal is facing from Cornel University for standing in solidarity with Palestine in the face of the ongoing Genocide, before releasing a fully remastered edition of one of our very first episodes, the nearly 4 year old survey on African revolutions and decolonization movements we did. We still have our ~35 part series on African Revolutions and Decolonization upcoming imminently, so this past episode can serve as a sort of a first precursor/prelude to those coming episodes, and we can call back to this episode for the broader regional/continental historical context. For this herculean task, we brought on Leo Zeilig, an editor of the Review of African Political Economy, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the School of Advanced Study University of London, and an Honorary Research Associate at the Society, Work and Development Institute (SWOP) at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. Leo's books include Thomas Sankara, Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Third World, African Struggles Today: Social Movements Since Independence, and Congo: Plunder and Resistance.

Women in the History of Science brings together primary sources that highlight women's involvement in scientific knowledge production around the world. Drawing on texts, images and objects, each primary source is accompanied by an explanatory text, questions to prompt discussion, and a bibliography to aid further research. Arranged by time period, covering 1200 BCE to the twenty-first century, and across 12 inclusive and far-reaching themes, this book is an invaluable companion to students and lecturers alike in exploring women's history in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, and medicine. While women are too often excluded from traditional narratives of the history of science, this book centres on the voices and experiences of women across a range of domains of knowledge. By questioning our understanding of what science is, where it happens, and who produces scientific knowledge, this reader is an aid to liberating the curriculum within schools and universities. In this episode, Professor Joe Cain talks with the sourcebook's FIVE co-editors. Each recently completed a PhD in UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies. We talk about the book, how readers might use it in teaching, what their favourite chapters are, and how they're using their own skills to improve the subject of history for everyone.

Received wisdom has it that Buddhism disappeared from India, the land of its birth, between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, long forgotten until British colonial scholars re-discovered it in the early 1800s. Its full-fledged revival, so the story goes, only occurred in 1956, when the Indian civil rights pioneer Dr. B. R. Ambedkar converted to Buddhism along with half a million of his Dalit (formerly "untouchable") followers. This, however, is only part of the story. Dust on the Throne reframes discussions about the place of Buddhism in the subcontinent from the early nineteenth century onwards, uncovering the integral, yet unacknowledged, role that Indians played in the making of modern global Buddhism in the century prior to Ambedkar's conversion, and the numerous ways that Buddhism gave powerful shape to modern Indian history. Through an extensive examination of disparate materials held at archives and temples across South Asia, Douglas Ober explores Buddhist religious dynamics in an age of expanding colonial empires, intra-Asian connectivity, and the histories of Buddhism produced by nineteenth and twentieth-century Indian thinkers. While Buddhism in contemporary India is often disparaged as being little more than tattered manuscripts and crumbling ruins, this book opens new avenues for understanding its substantial socio-political impact and intellectual legacy. You can find the Navayana Publishing edition with its amazing cover art here. You can find readable articles and references on more recent research on Bengli-speaking Buddhists and their contribution to modern Indian Buddhism by Sanjoy Chawdhury here.

For many of us, the word “extinctions” conjures up images of dinosaurs, asteroids, and (maybe?) volcanos. And while that last point did likely play a role in the demise of the dinosaurs, volcanos in their own right can go extinct. In this episode, we chatted with volcanologist Janine Krippner, Honorary Research Associate at the University of Waikato, about what exactly makes a volcano extinction, the difference between volcanic ash and smoke, and what it's like being up close and personal with a volcano. Oh, and the best volcano movie (spoiler: it's not Volcano). This episode was produced by Shane M Hanlon and mixed by Collin Warren. Editing and production assistance by Jace Steiner.

Welcome to episode 82. I had the honor of speaking to a number of coaches and consultants over the summer and will be publishing a series of these podcasts over the upcoming weeks here on the Sell From Love podcast. These episodes will give you a glimpse into a particular challenge that a coach, consultant or an advisor is experiencing. In this episode I have Dr Mark Seton (PhD) joining me. Mark is an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies at The University of Sydney, Australia. He teaches actor wellbeing in several drama schools. Through the Actors Wellbeing Academy, online, he coaches actors to identify their creative uniqueness, so they are empowered to make wise choices about vulnerable and potentially traumatising roles they take on. Dr Seton was awarded a Churchill Fellowship in 2009 to conduct a study tour of actor training healthcare practices in the UK. Arising from this study, the Equity Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Sydney, initiated an internationally ground-breaking Actors' Wellbeing Study (AWS) in 2013. Mark is also a founding member of the Australian Society for Performing Arts Healthcare. Mark comes in with a question around connecting with the right people at the right time. We discuss a moment of judgement that caused him to lose momentum and confidence. Mark walks away with more clarity on how to maintain the momentum efficiently and effectively. Specifically, here's what you will learn: What holds us back from going from amateur mode to pro How to shift from an employee mindset to an entrepreneur mindset The importance of having boundaries in your adult life How selling can activate moments of rejection or judgement How to use moments of rejection to continue to grow and get better Why we put our agenda on the backburner to serve others Ready to learn more?

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Tom Ue, who has researched into authors such as George Gissing, Oscar Wilde, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edward Prime-Stevenson. We begin by discussing how Tom developed his PhD from his previous studies into George Gissing, and how Gissing's diaries show how well-read and well-connected he was. We consider Gissing's shift from working-class writing, and the ethical issues that still exist today surrounding writing about disadvantaged people, and possibly for them, rather than giving them agency. We marvel at how a nineteenth-century author like Gissing recognised this problem, and how this is a legacy that continues to be unpacked and challenged. About my guest: Dr Tom Ue is Assistant Professor in Literature and Science at Dalhousie University. He is the author of Gissing, Shakespeare, and the Life of Writing (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming) and George Gissing (Liverpool University Press, forthcoming); the editor of George Gissing, The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft (Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming); and an editor of the journal Global Nineteenth-Century Studies (Liverpool University Press, 2022-present). Ue has held the prestigious Frederick Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship and he is an Honorary Research Associate at University College London.For more information on Tom's work, check out the details below:https://dal.academia.edu/TomUeTwitter: @GissingGeorgeCheck out Tom's suggestions:Susanna Clarke: Jonathan Strange and Mr NorrellGeorge Gissing - New Grub StreetEpisode Credits:Episode Writer, Editor and Producer: Emma CatanMusic: Burning Steaks (by Stationary Sign) - obtained via EpidemicSoundCheck us out at the following social media pages and websites!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/victorianlegaciespodcastTwitter: @victorianlegac1Instagram: @victorianlegaciespodcastWebsite: https://emmacatan.wordpress.com/victorian-legacies-podcast/Email: victorianlegacies@gmail.com

A conversation with Professor Graham Stuart, MSc. Professor Stuart is a congenital heart cardiologist. He also has a clinical interest in cardiac electrophysiology in children and adults with congenital heart disease. He runs a clinic for inherited cardiac conditions and has a research interest in exercise and the heart and sports cardiology. He is an Honorary Associate Professor in Sports and Exercise Cardiology at the University of Bristol and an Honorary Research Associate at the University of Exeter. He is an avid endurance enthusiast with multiple IRONMAN and marathon finishes and he is also an avid rower.Professor Stuart discusses how the heart works and describes what's happening with the heart during an endurance event. He discusses differences in heart size by sex and populations.We talk about the latest findings in cardiology about the perceived long-term effects of training for endurance events like marathons and IRONMAN distance triathlons, and whether there is any evidence for long-term adverse effects with such training.We have an exchange about athletes who suddenly die during endurance events and what may be some of the typical causes. We discuss the type of heart related issues that should give an athlete pause or concern. We talk about the precautions that athletes should take with age and whether wearable technology can help spot potential issues.Professor Stuart discusses the latest in cardiology about the impact of COVID on athletes, whether there is any more clarity on “long COVID” and a cardiologist recommended return to sport protocol for athletes that have had COVID.Finally, Professor Stuart gives his perspective on the future with heart technology and whether we will ever see any form of a fully implantable replacement heart either mechanical or organic that can run on its own battery for a long period of time.About Professor Graham Stuarthttp://www.sportscardiology.co.uk/https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alan-Stuart-4Professor Stuart's Twitterhttps://twitter.com/ag_stuartFollow Us:Facebook: https://Facebook.com/EventHorizon.TvTwitter: https://twitter.com/EventHorizonTvInstagram: https://instagram.com/eventhorizon.tvYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/EventHorizonTvSupport Us:https://Patreon.com/Endurancehttps://paypal.me/EnduranceExperience

Systemic Coaching throws open a vast arena where the coaching is not just about how a team works together but also how it can mean a lot of different things. There is a lot of talk about "systemic" these days, but is there really a consensus on what it means in the context of coaching?We delve into leadership coaching and how systemic thinking may be used in coaching in this episode with Dr. Paul Lawrence.Paul is a leadership development consultant, coach, coach supervisor, and researcher. He founded his new company Leading Systemically in late 2021.He designs and delivers leadership programs, including coaching skills programs and programs in teaming excellence.

He has authored more than a dozen academic articles and book chapters, and four books.He is currently working on his fifth book with the working title 'The Wise Leader'. This book will challenge contemporary perspectives on leadership and leadership development, offering organisations practical guidance in enhancing collective leadership capacity.
For many of us, the word “extinctions” conjures up images of dinosaurs, asteroids, and (maybe?) volcanos. And while that last point did likely play a role in the demise of the dinosaurs, volcanos in their own right can go extinct. In this episode, we chatted with volcanologist Janine Krippner, Honorary Research Associate at the University of Waikato, about what exactly makes a volcano extinct, the difference between volcanic ash and smoke, and what it's like being up close and personal with a volcano.Oh, and the best volcano movie (spoiler: it's not Volcano).This episode was produced by Shane M Hanlon and mixed by Collin Warren. Editing and production assistance by Jace Steiner.
Each year at Teacher, we carry out a reader survey to give our readers and listeners an opportunity to tell us what kind of content you'd like to see from us. In our most recent survey responses, many of you told us you'd like more content on student absences. In this episode of The Research Files, we'll be digging into the research on this topic with Kirsten Hancock, Honorary Research Associate from Telethon Kids Institute in Western Australia. So we know that students miss school for a whole range of different reasons, such as illness, suspension, or family holidays. And a missed day of school might just seem like a missed day at school, but research is showing that the effect on student achievement can vary considerably depending on the reason for absence. Today we'll be taking a look at some of the concepts covered in Kirsten's research on the reasons behind student absences, including how different types of absences affect student outcomes, and what families and schools can do to tailor their support to students who are missing school.

Russia's unprovoked Ukraine invasion sent shockwaves across the world and shined a spotlight on the true costs of our global fossil fuel reliance, especially for the European Union (EU). The EU's 27 members buy a quarter of their oil and more 40 percent of their gas from Russia, and EU households are facing high energy bills and accelerating impacts from the climate crisis. On this episode of Electrify This!, host Sara Baldwin speaks with energy policy experts at the Regulatory Assistance Project and Agora Energiewende to explore how the EU can end its reliance on Russian gas and oil, achieve its climate goals, and ensure its consumers benefit from the transition.

Today I sat down with Dr. Constantine Campbell, Honorary Research Associate of the Sydney College of Divinity. Con has been teaching for almost 15 years and has written extensively on the theology Paul, the letters of #John, and various aspects of Greek grammar. In addition to his scholarly works, Con has several video teaching guides that are perfect for church audiences. We had a great time talking about the contributions John's letters make to the #NewTestament, and I was particularly drawn to the theory that 2 John serves as a cover letter of sorts to the Johannine #epistles.

Professor Steve Keen, Honorary Research Associate with the Institute for Strategy, Resilience and Security at the University College London, was one of the handful of economists to realize that a serious economic crisis was imminent, and to publicly warn of it from as early as December 2005 (http://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/15892/). This, and his pioneering work on modelling debt-deflation, resulted in his winning the Revere Award from the Real World Economics Review (http://rwer.wordpress.com/) for being the economist whose work is most likely to prevent a future financial crisis. He is author of Debunking Economics, which explains in detail why the orthodox economic theory is not only wrong, but more of a threat to the survival of humanity and the more recent: New Economics: A Manifesto, which gives ideas of how we can shift to a new system of exchanging value.He is co-creator of the Minsky App and of the Ecocore Universal Carbon Credits. In this episode, we explore some of the wilder falsehoods of the currently orthodox model of economics, and dive into the ways we could structure a model that could work differently.

36% of cities will experience water insecurity by 2050. Giulio Boccaletti discusses the politics and history of water.“The problem doesn't really reside there. The problem is that people have gotten used to thinking about water as a technical issue that can be solved by somebody sitting in a room somewhere with a white coat. The reality is that the history of water shows that this is probably the most political and salient issue of society–How we share the resources that make it possible for us to live is a fundamentally political problem. And in nations that live together under a social contract is fundamentally a constitutional problem. So my hope is that we elevate water to a much higher level of political discourse.”Giulio Boccaletti, Ph.D., is a globally recognized expert on natural resource security and environmental sustainability. Trained as a physicist and climate scientist, he holds a doctorate from Princeton University, where he was a NASA Earth Systems Science Fellow. He has been a research scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a partner of McKinsey & Company, and the chief strategy officer of The Nature Conservancy, one of the largest environmental organizations in the world. He is an Honorary Research Associate in the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University. He writes on environmental issues for news media, and is an expert contributor to the World Economic Forum, which elected him as one of its Young Global Leaders.
