Robert Kesten, Executive Director of the Stonewall National Museum & Archives, shares a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation that spans civil rights, global activism, the importance of preserving history, and his lifelong commitment to justice. From organizing a fundraising event as a child in response to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination to producing a Holocaust documentary and leading initiatives in human rights education, Robert's journey reflects the intersection of compassion, curiosity, and courageous leadership. His reflections on history, identity, and the enduring struggle for human dignity are as timely as ever.Interview recorded in Fort Lauderdale, FL.Key Takeaways:Robert Kesten is the Executive Director of the Stonewall National Museum & Archives, which preserves and shares LGBTQ history and culture.His activism began in childhood after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., when he organized a fundraiser to help send kids to camp.Robert emphasizes the importance of telling full, interconnected histories—likening it to a dense tapestry where every thread matters.He has worked across diverse causes: LGBTQ+ rights, civil rights, Holocaust remembrance, and international human rights education.Kesten produced a documentary on the Holocaust for March of the Living, focusing on emotional impact over dialogue.His view of compassion is putting the greater good above oneself, and his guiding philosophy is to leave the world better than he found it.Despite decades of global work, he describes his life as "rewarding" rather than "successful"—a reflection on the value of impact over recognition.Robert Kesten's Bio:Kesten is president and CEO of Stonewall National Museum, Archives, & Library based in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The nonprofit organization is one of the largest of its kind in the LGBTQ+ world and one of the oldest, having been started in 1973.Prior to joining Stonewall, Kesten traveled around the world promoting acceptance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a foundational document in building a better and more stable world. Kesten conceptualized the United Nations Decade of Human Rights Education, which was approved by the General Assembly and ran from 1994-2004.Connect with Robert:stonewall-museum.org#TheHumanExperiencePodcast Follow Along:Website: https://www.thehxpod.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehxpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/getthehxTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehxpodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehxpodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Episode Summary:In this episode of Half Time Scholars, we sit down with Shruti Sheshadri, a doctoral candidate in International and Multicultural Education at the University of San Francisco, to discuss a critical yet often overlooked issue in global education: the persistent mismatch between early-grade language textbooks and the real learning needs of children in the Global South.Drawing from her research, Dismantling the Hierarchy of Skills: A Comparative Study of the Development of Language Textbooks in the Global South, Shruti explores how standardized textbook design fails to reflect contemporary pedagogy or meet the needs of diverse linguistic communities. Despite billions in investment and intensive planning, textbook development remains rigid, centralized, and out of sync with educational equity goals.We unpack the findings of her comparative case study across India, Senegal, Kenya, and Jordan, where she conducted interviews, textbook analyses, and document reviews to trace the institutional logics behind textbook development. Shruti reveals how language-in-education policies, community preferences, and institutional hierarchies shape the form and content of textbooks—and how these realities impact learning outcomes.This episode challenges listeners to think differently about educational materials in the early grades and invites educators, policymakers, and development practitioners to reimagine textbooks not as static tools, but as dynamic platforms capable of supporting inclusive and innovative literacy development.Key Themes:Why early-grade language textbooks are failing learners in the Global SouthThe institutional politics of textbook publishingThe hidden pedagogies embedded in textbook designComparative insights from India, Senegal, Kenya, and JordanThe transformative potential of generative AI and digital tools in reimagining textbooksAbout the Guest:Shruti Sheshadri is a researcher, editor, and consultant with deep expertise in global literacy and textbook publishing. She holds a master's degree in international education development from the University of Pennsylvania and serves as the Assistant Editor of the International Journal of Human Rights Education. She also sits on the Board of Directors of the Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) as a Student Representative. Since 2018, she has worked on education program design, monitoring, and evaluation and currently consults for the Global Partnership for Education.
How do you start to make change happen with people when you'd rather call them out or cancel them altogether? Are calling out or cancelling ever effective?

EPISODE 122 | How to Be a Communist One of the many words tossed about these days as a snarl term is “communist”, but do the people using this sobriquet know what that really means? It certainly doesn't mean every leftwing philosophy or ideology. In fact, Communism is a very specific set of applications of very certain ideas, and, like it or not, helped define the 20th century. So let's look at what Communism is and what it isn't, and what other systems and suites of thought have crossover with it. Like all the different flavors of Socialism. Like what we do?

On episode #166, I spoke with Jason Jones about how to revive our culture from a Catholic perspective.Key points from our discussion include:- The biggest issue in today's world- Catholic approach to the great reset - The need to strength families and communities through subsidiarity- What motivated Jason to write this book- And much more...Biography:Jason Jones is a film producer, author, activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker. He is president of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.) known for its two main programs The Vulnerable People Project and Movie to Movement. In 2006, Jones was an Executive Producer of "Bella," which won several film industry awards, most notably the People's Choice Award at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival. In 2009 Jason was an associate producer of “The Stoning of Soraya M”, winner of the NAACP Image Award and the Los Angeles Film Festival. In 2009 Jones produced the award-winning pro-life short film Crescendo with Eduardo Verastegui and Pattie Mallete (the mother of Justin Bieber). Crescendo raised over 6 million dollars in North America to support pregnancy centers and women's shelters. Jason launched the Vulnerable People Project's Hope for Afghanistan program after receiving a request to rescue a friend's mother trapped in Afghanistan during the US Military withdrawal. VPP's Hope for Afghanistan has since grown immensely in the last two years. Since the disastrous US withdrawal VPP has evacuated thousands of religious minorities and former Afghan allies, provided for safe houses in neighboring countries, and worked to resettle vulnerable Afghans. VPP has delivered over 3 million meals to families in need across Afghanistan; opened a women's health clinic; drilled wells that provide potable water to several villages; and provided security for schools so children can study and learn safely. At the heart of everything Jason does is a mission to stand between the violent and the vulnerable: from the child in the womb to Christians in Nigeria, to civilians in Ukraine to our former allies in Afghanistan. His tireless work in the pro-life movement was just recognized in a featured chapter in Legacy of Life, a book honoring fifty of the greatest pro-life leaders of the last fifty years.

What You Need to Know is that tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the Fischer v. United States case, which pertains to the 1512(c) charge that has been levied against January 6 protestors. 1512(c) is part of the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, and it prohibits the obstruction of official proceedings and destruction of evidence. The question is: does protesting on January 6 really count as a violation of this law? Carrie Severino has a great bench memo on the case in National Review. We are meant to trust that the government will give citizens their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights to due process, but the use of the 1512(c) law is emblematic of how much the narrative machine has stretched the narrative to take down political enemies on the right. Jason Jones is a film producer, author, activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker and president of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.). Jason joins Ed to discuss the Arizona Supreme Court decision on abortion. Check out Jason's book on The Great Campaign Against the Great Reset. Dan Schneider, VP of MRC Free Speech America, joins Ed to discuss Alvin Bragg's exclusion of Orthodox Jews from the jury pool in Trump's trial. Dan explains how Orthodox Jews lean pro-Trump more than any other demographic in New York City, so Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg moved jury selection from Wednesday to Friday in an act of religious discrimination to protect his political attack. This is not due process, this is a trick of Democrat operatives. Wrap Up: Sources to follow this week, plus - a consideration on Trump.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First up, we'll hear Monica Harte (Merri-Bek Councillor), who spoke about the history of transport campaigns in so-called Melbourne from 1980 (including Upfield line closures) and honoured disability activists no longer with us today. We will also hear Elyse Cunningham from the FOE Sustainable Cities Campaign, who shared campaign information and the importance of putting pressure on government since “only 15% of tram network is accessible to wheelchair users.” Crossing removal is planned to for around 2 years time, resulting in closures to the Upfield line and adjoining bike path for around 18 months, leaving older people, people with disability, and many other community members with no access to the city of Merri-Bek, likely to lose work, and become further isolated from society. Currently there are no accessible tram stops between Park Street (Brunswick) and Bakers Road (North Coburg, end-of-the-line) on the Route 19 tram. Approx 200-300 people attended the rally, including music from the the Riffraff Radical Marching Band, stopping traffic and trams at the corner of Brunswick Town Hall.// Angelica Ojinnaka is a youth development advocate, researcher, and speaker.

The concept of human dignity is a foundational one within human rights discourses, and is commonly used in the context of human rights and sustainable development policies and programs. But the meaning of ‘human dignity', and its role, have seldom been interrogated rigorously or systematically. Instead, there exists a widespread presumption of universality, despite growing evidence that the concept of human dignity can be understood in profoundly different ways in different socio-cultural and political settings. Dr Rachel Killean and Dr Natali Pearson discuss human dignity in Cambodia, and prospects for human rights education. Dr Natali Pearson is Curriculum Coordinator at the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre, a university-wide multidisciplinary center at the University of Sydney, Australia. Her research focuses on the protection, management and interpretation of underwater cultural heritage in Southeast Asia. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I sit down with Jason Jones, a film producer and human rights worker who has devoted himself to serving the world's most vulnerable people, from China to Afghanistan.“Through what we call Operation Noble Brother, we're seeking to identify every widow and all of the orphans of our Afghan allies who were killed in action, and make sure we give them the support they need to live,” he says.Jones is the president of the Human-Rights Education and Relief Organization (H.E.R.O.) and founder of the Vulnerable People Project.Last winter, his team delivered coal to thousands of families of former Afghan allies, Christians, Hazaras, and other minorities in Afghanistan, so they could survive the bitter winter.His organization is maintaining safe houses for persecuted peoples under the Taliban, delivering food and medicine across Ukraine, and working to free bishops imprisoned in China.“We always say … what did the Germans know? And when did they know it? … But the question we need to ask ourselves is what did we know about the Uyghur genocide? What did we know about the Falun Gong? When did we know it?”

Ruha Benjamin has been called one of the country's most insightful scholars on issues related to race, technology and justice. In her new book, Viral Justice, Benjamin explores—in a very personal way—two social issues that have received extensive attention over the past two years: police violence and the pandemic of COVID-19. For Prof. Benjamin, these two issues existed in tandem for a reason: they are both public health crises that festered and continue to fester because they are both built on unjust systems. Benjamin examines the converging plagues of COVID-19 and police violence, mapping the multiple routes through which racism gets under the skin. Recounting her personal experiences and those of her family, Benjamin illuminates the devastating impact of the chronic stress of racism, the trauma caused by mass imprisonment, and the vast inequities of our nation's health-care system. As she channels her own life story, she also offers a passionate, inspiring, and practical vision of how seemingly minor decisions and habits could spread virally and have exponentially positive effects. Join us as Professor Benjamin re-envisions the significance of individual actions and explains how we can build a more just world―one small change at a time. About the SpeakersRuha Benjamin is a professor of African American studies at Princeton University, founding director of the Ida B. Wells JUST Data Lab, and author of three books, Viral Justice (2022), Race After Technology (2019), and People's Science (2013), and editor of Captivating Technology (2019). She graduated from Spelman College with a BA in Sociology & Anthropology and received her MA and PhD degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Shabnam Koirala-Azad is the first female dean of the USF School of Education, and in 2018 was recognized as one of the Most Influential Women in the Bay Area.

We're living in a time when collective solutions and open dialogue are needed more than ever, but the rise of call-out and cancel-culture has left many important conversations silent. This week, I welcome the absolutely iconic feminist and activist, Loretta J. Ross. Loretta is flipping the script with her newly coined term, "Call-In Culture," and on today's episode, we learn exactly what that term means and its impact on cancel culture. Loretta is a trailblazer in the reproductive rights movement, and we speak about the major phenomenon she calls "horizontal canceling" and its impact on the effectiveness of movements. Hopefully, this conversation expands your understanding of how we can connect and influence, rather than silence, to create change. Aviva and Loretta discuss: The incredibly challenging obstacles Loretta faced growing up, including sexual abuse and an unintended pregnancy at fourteen, and how these experiences led to her work in reproductive rights, becoming one of the first African American women to direct a rape crisis center and coining of the term reproductive justice. How Loretta defines calling-in, her take on why people tend to go after more vulnerable targets, and the impacts of fierce individualism on community well-bering How calling-out is showing up in the reproductive rights movement, the risks of horizontal canceling, and what we can do about it The meanings of the "woking dead" and “circles of influence” and the impacts both have on our culture Loretta J. Ross is a fierce and formidable women's health rights activist for over four decades now and co-coined the term reproductive justice. She currently teaches courses on white supremacy, human rights, and calling in the calling out culture at Smith College's Program for the Study of Women and Gender. Loretta was the National Coordinator of the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and the National Co-Director of the 2004 March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., the largest protest march in U.S. history at that time. She founded the National Center for Human Rights Education and launched the Women of Color Program for the National Organization for Women. She has co-written 3 books on reproductive justice and has a forthcoming book called Calling In the Calling Out Culture. Find out more about Loretta and sign up for her courses at lorettajross.com.

This week our guest on the podcast is Andrei Borisovich Suslov, a professor at Perm State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University who has been involved in human rights education for more than 20 years. The topic of today's podcast is ‘Human Rights Education in Russia: The Past, Present and Future'. The issues we discuss in the podcast include: the history of human rights education in post-Soviet Russia; what prompted Andrei Suslov to get involved in human rights education; Andrei Suslov's work in this field; how things have changed over the last 20 years; the importance of human rights education; the role of human rights education in the development of democracy; how lawyers are trained in human rights law; young people and human rights; what should people know about human rights; what story or stories from the lives of real people are instructive in thinking about human rights; what should human rights education be like, ideally. The podcast is in the Russian language. You can also listen to the podcast on Rights in Russia (https://www.rightsinrussia.org/podcast-7/), SoundCloud, Spotify and iTunes. The music, from Stravinsky's Elegy for Solo Viola, is performed for us by Karolina Herrera.Sergei Nikitin writes on Facebook: In 2006 I received a letter from the deputy director of the Department of State Policy and Legal Regulation of Education in the Russian Ministry of Education and Science. This was in response to our demand to teach human rights in Russian schools. “The importance of studying human rights,” I.M.Remorenko wrote, “raises no doubts.” Then came a lot of verbiage about how human rights help cultivate citizenship and patriotism, while at the end of his address the official explained that domestic legislation is amended so frequently that there is no sense in introducing a human rights course in schools, all the more so since any citizen acquires knowledge of human rights throughout his life. So why bother? In 2007 the Minister of Education said that, OK, human rights would be taught at school as a separate course, but – no such luck. For this reason I have always admired the tireless work of enthusiastic educators who work to ensure that schoolchildren and teachers learn about human rights as the protection of each person's dignity and freedom, their personal, political, social, economic and cultural rights. Simon Cosgrove and I recently spoke with Andrei Suslov, a professor at Perm State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, who has been teaching human rights for over 20 years. The hour flew by and we could have talked much more. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did: our interviewee Andrei Suslov, one of the leading experts on human rights education.Simon Cosgrove adds: If you want to listen to this podcast on the podcasts.com website and it doesn't seem to play, please download by clicking on the three dots to the right.

On this week’s Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, brings you the University of Louisville’s 2020 Anne Braden Memorial Lecture from November 11th featuring Loretta Ross on Calling In The Calling Out Culture. Dr. Ross is a Visiting Associate Professor at Smith College in the Program for the Study of Women and Gender. She teaches courses on white supremacy, reproductive justice, and calling in practices. She has spent more than forty-five years committed to antiracist and feminist activism, including founding the National Center for Human Rights Education. Dr. Ross started her career in activism and social change in the 1970s, working at the D.C. Rape Crisis Center, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the National Black Women’s Health Project, the Center for Democratic Renewal (National Anti-Klan Network), and SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, among others.

After a tumultuous year of tragedy and unrest, many are wondering what comes next. How can we create atmospheres where people lean into the hard work of self-reflection and daily change-making? How do we end taboos surrounding speaking about racism and systems of injustice, challenging one another to do better while leaving room for inevitable mistakes? Dr. Ross has trained educators and social justice advocates nationwide to conduct empathetic, forthright conversations confronting injustice.

During World War II, thousands of Japanese Americans were ordered by the U.S. government to be incarcerated in remote camps. The order, signed by President Franklin Roosevelt, was meant to prevent Japanese people on American soil from taking up arms and bringing the war inside the United States borders. Today, that period is recognized as one of the most shameful in American history.

Amnesty International is one such NGO that has strong ties to global trade unions.

Dr Ozdowski and Jerome discuss the upcoming 9th International Conference on Human Rights Education, the importance of continually informing the public of their responsibilities to uphold human rights, whether or not Australia should implement its own bill of rights, and what gives rise to the enactment of such enshrined freedoms. www.lawyersweekly.com.au
Join us for a practice to build an altar or sacred space to ground you with Cara Page. You’ll need 10-15 minutes in a space where you’d like to build it: your home, your workplace, the place you’re staying right now. This can be done individually for you or collectively as a group.For your reference as you go collecting your objects as you listen along… Cara asks: Who or what do you honor that keeps you connected to ancestors? Do you have any objects or pictures that you can gather to create a space that helps you to honor ancestors? What objects embody safety for you? What allows you to feel safe in your heart, in your mind, in your body - that gives you permission to feel that no one can harm you? What object would best represent that? What allows you to feel most powerful in your body, mind, or heart? What object represents your resilience? Find something that represents desire. It could be desire for yourself to feel safe, loved, healed - a desire for family or community to be safe, loved, embraced - or it can be a desire you have for collective liberation. This object represents not just want we want to resist, but what we want to create. Gather your objects, and set them up in a place where they won’t be interrupted… someplace you can look at everyday to reground you and help you remember power, resilience, desire, and safety to keep you grounded and connected. Check out episode 8 for the corresponding conversation with Cara and Susan Raffo titled "We Moved Like We Needed Each Other: A Lineage of Healing Justice” to listen to our conversation about the origins of the contemporary framework of healing justice, stories and learnings from early collaborations in the South and at the Atlanta and Detroit US Social Forums, how nothing is just an issue - everything we care about deeply ties to our embodiment, the importance of safety, and the fine lines between ownership, appropriation, co-optation, and trust.**As a brand new podcast, we need you to subscribe, give a 5-star rating, and share a positive review to help us continue.

Her people were farmers, stonemasons, union members, and tradespeople. Across all of her family lines are histories of assimilation, passing, and disconnection from home, family, land and history. She currently lives on Dakota land in its seventh generation of settlement. Susan began to study bodywork in 2005 and struggled to feel that this work was as politically relevant as community organizing, but in 2009 she attended the Healing Justice Practice Space at the US Social Forum in Atlanta and it changed her life. For the first time she found movement people, radical people, social justice people, who were interested in the places where systems of power and oppression were held in the tissues of the individual body as well as within systems and communities. Susan is interested in work that refuses to separate how we individually connect with life from how we collectively claim our lives. She works towards the end of the medical industrial complex and wants to lift up practices and traditions that have been co-opted or forced into disappearance. She is trained in multiple forms of craniosacral therapy, as well as in Global Somatics (a form of Body Mind Centering). Her practice is based on deep listening and working with the body, supporting the conditions for shifting deeply held (sometimes generational and historical) patterns that show up as pain, anxiety, stress, and disconnectedness. Susan is also a writer, having published Queerly Classed in 1995 and Restricted Access in 1997. Right now she is blogging about healing justice and liberation work at https://susanraffo.blogspot.com, and is currently building out www.susanraffo.com.

Rape culture is a term we hear more and more. But what is it? How pervasive is it? And who is affected? Where do we see rape culture? So many questions. Well to help you understand, we've got a radio documentary! It's produced by rabble.ca's own Meghan Stacey. It comes to us from the Rad Voices, the podcast that is produced for the Lynn Williams Activist Toolkit as a resource for activists. Loretta Ross has decades of work in the women's movement under her belt. She's worked to end violence against women and promote reproductive justice in the United States and around the world. Ross was active in the black nationalist and civil rights movements. In the 1970s, she directed one of the first rape crisis centres in the United States, and she was one of the first African American women to hold that position. From 1996-2004, she was the Founder and Executive Director of the National Center for Human Rights Education in Atlanta, Georgia.Here are some of her thoughts from a presentation in Guelph, Ontario. The band Blondie is famously named for what men used to shout out to Debbie Harry as she walked down the street. That was back in the 70s, but not much has changed.

Children Denied: Family Cap and Foster Care Mothers on welfare in 24 states don't receive increased benefits if they have additional children. Lawmakers said they wanted to hold down birthrates, but women on welfare say the rule's intent is deeply misguided, and the results are harmful to women and children. On this special Welfare Radio Collaborative edition of Making Contact, we'll explore the "family-cap" and its effect on women's lives, as well as the studies that call it into question. We'll also look at foster care, and how families on welfare are more at risk for losing their children. A free listener resource packet is available by emailing National Radio Project at makingcontact@radioproject.org or by calling us (toll-free) at 800-529-5736. Featuring the voices of several mothers on welfare and: Toby Eastman former Child Protective Services worker and now with Homeless Children's Network; Diana Romero, Columbia University Department of Population and Family Health; Kim Alverenga, Women of Color Resource Center; National Center for Human Rights Education; Loretta Ross, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective The post Making Contact – May 6, 2005 appeared first on KPFA.
