Through immersion in the work of these artists and psychoanalytic ideas, participants will walk away with a better understanding of the transformative process inherent of the act of creation itself, especially when used as a powerful disruption of narrative, and hopefully feel inspired themselves to create! In this discussion, Vanessa gives a sneak peek into each of the four parts of the course. Some highlights are: talking about the inspiration for the course;outlining the events that led to the creation of psychoanalysis as well as the avant-garde movement;expanding on the historical backdrop – what was happening during these years that created this paradigm shift;looking at the years leading up to WW1, and what was taking place then, focusing on psychoanalysis and the avant-garde art scenes;focusing on surrealism and later developments in experimental film, followed by some discussion on the Beat Poets, and outlining how these three are interconnected;focusing on the birth of pop art, and art as it moved from the galleries to the streets, as well as performance art that included the body as an important vehicle/tool of expression. PROGRAM NOTES:Vanessa's website (with all links): Dr Vanessa SinclairMorbid Anatomy Course:The Cut in Creation: Exploring the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Modern Art, Noise Music, and Performance Art through a Psychoanalytic Lens, Led by Vanessa Sinclair, PsyD, Begins May 25 — Morbid AnatomySelected Works:Amazon.com: Scansion in Psychoanalysis and Art (Art, Creativity, and Psychoanalysis Book Series): 9780367567262: Sinclair, Vanessa: BooksAmazon.com: The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: 9781032603827: Sinclair, Vanessa, Punzi, Elisabeth, Sauer, Myriam: BooksPodcast Rendering Unconscious:Podcast – Dr Vanessa SinclairInstagram:InstagramRobert Frank, Me and My Brother (1968)Me and My Brother (1968) - IMDbMusic, Editing and Video Production: Stephanie Shea

In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks to
 Russel Hlongwane, an artist whose work pushes boundaries, reshapes narratives, and bridges the often complex interplay between heritage and innovation. Russel is a visionary South African artist, cultural producer, and filmmaker from KwaZulu-Natal. Russel's work, deeply rooted in Zulu tradition, examines how indigenous knowledge systems intersect with global modernity. Through his multidisciplinary approach, often interrogating and reimagining the tropes of Afro-futurism, he crafts performances, installations, and films that not only challenge conventional notions of art but also provoke reflection on cultural memory, displacement, and the future of African identity. In this episode, we explore Russel's artistic journey, from his early years growing up in between Durban and rural Msinga, to his emergence as one of the most compelling voices in African contemporary art. A central aspect of Russel's practice includes artistic research which informs his creative producing, design, and curatorship. Russel is a member of a number of collectives, working groups and programmes spread across the SADC region, the continent and internationally; and is on the International Advisory Board for the Prince Claus Fund. He is currently studying towards the Southern Urbanism MPhil at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town). Russel shares how his upbringing in a province steeped in Zulu history inspired his interest in exploring ancestral wisdom, storytelling, and ritual in his work. He reveals how he uses these elements to interrogate issues of colonial legacy, globalization, and the digitization of culture. One of the highlights of our conversation is Russel's unique perspective on the role of performance art in society. He speaks candidly about how his live performances, often incorporating music, movement, and spoken word, aim to create communal experiences that resonate across generations. His work is a call to remember—to reconnect with histories that are often erased or misrepresented, while imagining technological futures that are deeply rooted in African cosmologies. We also delve into his filmmaking, a medium he describes as a “meeting point of time and space.” Russel's films are known for their experimental narratives, blending documentary and fiction to explore themes of migration, urbanization, and identity. He discusses the challenges and joys of working within an African context, where resources may be limited but the stories and creative potential are boundless. Throughout our conversation, Russel emphasizes the importance of collaboration and community in his practice. Whether working with musicians, traditional healers, or fellow young creatives such as Lo-Def Film Factory, he views art as a collective effort to make sense of a rapidly changing world while holding onto the threads of what makes us human.

Zimbabwean former Chief Justice Anthony Gubbay and Australian Justice Michael Kirby have joined Freedom Under Law's (FUL's) international advisory board to fill the vacancies following the deaths of founding members Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Lord Johan van Zijl Steyn. Both retired judges, Gubbay and Kirby are internationally regarded for being vocal on the rule of law, judicial independence and the protection of human rights. "The lives of the two prominent Commonwealth judges have intersected in many ways. They were both strong proponents (with later Chief Justice Mahomed of South Africa) of the application of international rights instruments in domestic law, beginning with the Bangalore Principles and Harare Declaration. Both attended the ground-breaking Bloemfontein Colloquium in 1993 chaired by former Chief Justice Corbett, in which some senior South African judges and counsel also participated. Both have been recipients of the Gruber Prize for Justice, other decorations and honorary doctorates," said FUL. In 1959, two years after joining the Bar in Zimbabwe, Cambridge alum Gubbay defended 100 members of the African National Congress of Southern Rhodesia against detention without a trial. He headed up the Income Tax Appeal Tribunal and the Patents Tribunal before joining the High Court in Bulawayo and then the Appellate Division in Harare. Post democracy, he held the Acting Chief Justice position for five terms before being appointed Chief Justice in 1990, where he presided over cases relating to human rights, such as freedom of speech, arbitrary arrests, decriminalising homosexuality and asserting land rights. "In 2001 he was forced from office. The Supreme Court was allowed to be invaded, and he was threatened. He was replaced by a High Court judge, Godfrey Chidyausiku, who had served as a deputy minister, acting attorney-general and member of the Politburo of the ruling party. Gubbay has received wide international recognition. He is an Honorary Bencher of Lincoln's Inn, a patron of the Association of Commonwealth Judges and Magistrates and was appointed to the Permanent Court of Arbitration," FUL said. Beginning as a barrister in industrial relations, Kirby was the president of the New South Wales Court of Appeal and first chair of the Australian Law Reform Commission. He was a judge of Australia's highest court for 13 years, until 2009. He is known notably for his judgments in the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights. "FUL records its gratitude for the willingness of these eminent figures to contribute their moral leadership and wisdom," said the nonprofit organisation.

Hear from Simon Zadek, Executive Director at NatureFinance and Senior Advisor to the TNFD, as we explore the growing intersection of nature and finance. With the recent release of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures Framework (TNFD), the idea of nature risk is now in the spotlight for many finance professionals. Even though some may have encountered elements of ‘nature' in their work before, for example when looking at supply chain risk, it may not have been labelled as such. And with many just getting to grips with climate risk management, there is an open question around how to incorporate nature-related issues. That's why in today's episode, we'll take a closer look at the concept of nature in finance. We'll reflect on: How it's defined, and what risks it presents to our economies; What the TNFD framework covers and what this means for risk professionals; and The risks and opportunities that nature presents.

HUBERT JOLY is the former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Best Buy and is now a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School. He is also a member of the board of directors of Johnson & Johnson and Ralph Lauren Corporation, a member of the International Advisory Board of HEC Paris, and a Trustee of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Joly has been recognized as one of the top 100 CEOs in the world by the Harvard Business Review, one of the top 30 CEOs in the world by Barron's and one of the top 10 CEOs in the U.S. by Glassdoor.Quotes:Marcel asks Hubert what he believes business is about. “At the heart of business... is the pursuit of a noble purpose, putting people at the center, embracing all stakeholders, and treating profit as an outcome, not the goal,”[3:12] Hubert responds. “There are three imperatives to an organization and tackling them in the correct sequence leads to optimal outcomes: a people imperative - having the right teams properly motivated and equipped; a business imperative - having happy customers who you sell good products to; and a financial imperative - about profit. [10:05]” Hubert shares how financial results have to be the end focus. First, you have to start with people; when you do this, the financial results will come. “The old model of leadership portrayed a leader as a superhero here to save the day, probably the smartest person in the room, and, unfortunately, too driven by power, fame, money or glory,” Hubert claims. “This [type of leadership] doesn't work... [people] want to be part of the journey and the solution.” [16:55] Hubert debunks the concept of perfectionism as a key to success; he shares how demonstrating his imperfection actually helped create the right environment for optimal performance at work. “Operational progress creates routine degrees of freedom, so sometimes you have to start with the basics before you think about creating an amazing future,'' [35:47] Hubert advises. He describes the five ingredients for creating a fabulous work environment, which are: connecting dreams, developing authentic human connections, fostering autonomy, achieving mastery, and putting the wind at your back. “Work is love made visible... Business is about embracing all stakeholders… This is a beautiful friendship you're building with all stakeholders, treating all of them, in a sense, as customers.” [50:30] Hubert shares how he thinks leaders love in a practical way, day in and day out.Mentioned in this episode:Hubert JolyMarcel Schwantes

Meryl Ain's Shadows We Carry (Sparkspress, 2023) is a follow-up to the author's 2020 novel, The Takeaway Men, focuses on fraternal twins Bronka and JoJo Lubinski, now in college and figuring out what to do with their lives. Beginning with the assassination of President Kennedy, we watch the sisters navigate social upheaval, family expectations, and all the usual aspects of growing up, but they were born in a DP camp after WW2 and are children of Holocaust Survivors, now referred to as “Second - Generation Survivors.” They've inherited their parents' guilt (their mother lives a Jewish life but never converted) and emotional trauma (their father's first family was killed by Nazis) but they live in 1960s and 70s New York and also have to navigate relationships, career dreams, and social expectations for women of that generation. Then Branka, who dreams of becoming a serious journalist but has been relegated to the food column, is asked to cover a neo-Nazi protest, and her eyes are opened to the presence of Hitler acolytes in this country. Meryl Ain is a writer, author, podcaster, and career educator. She received a BA in Political Science from Queens College, holds an MA in Teacher History from Columbia University, and earned a doctorate in Educational Administration from Hofstra University. She has worked as a journalist and her articles and essays were published in many publications, but most of her career was spent working as a high school history teacher and administrator. Her award-winning post-Holocaust debut novel, The Takeaway Men, was published in 2020. She is the host of the podcast, People of the Book, and the founder of the Facebook group, Jews Love To Read! which has more than 4,000 members. Her novels are a result of her life-long quest to learn more about the Holocaust, a thirst that was first triggered by reading The Diary of Anne Frank in the sixth grade. When she's not reading or writing, she enjoys meeting with groups to discuss her books. She's a lifetime member of Hadassah, a member of The International Advisory Board for Holocaust Survivor Day, a supporter of UJA-Federation, as well as Holocaust centers and causes. Meryl lives in New York with her husband, Stewart. Her greatest joy is spending time with their six grandchildren. Learn more about your ad choices.

If you want to start a heated debate, pretty much anywhere in the Western world today, just bring up the topic of immigration. While there are plenty of policy issues that drive partisanship today, few are as sticky as the immigration issue. From the arguments of protecting the border and rule of law, to the need to protect immigrant rights and the dynamism that comes with welcoming legal immigrant, there are plenty of ideas, issues, and challenges to work on and argue about. In today's episode, we talk with Dr. James Hollifield, Professor and Director of the Tower Center for Public Policy and International Affairs at Southern Methodist University, about why the United States and the European Union have grappled with immigration for so long. The challenge stems from what he identifies as the "Liberal Paradox", where states need to define borders, citizenship, and rule of law, with the need to respect human rights, uphold values, and welcome new labor. Join us as we take a look at the history of immigration in the U.S. and what these countries can do to solve this issue. James F. Hollifield is the Ora Nixon Arnold Fellow in International Political Economy, Professor in the Department of Political Science, and Director of the Tower Center at SMU in Dallas, Texas, as well as a member of the New York Council on Foreign Relations and a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, DC.Hollifield has served as an Advisor to various governments in North and South America, Europe, East Asia and the Middle East and Africa, as well as the United Nations, the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the OECD, the ILO, the IOM, the EU, and other international organizations.  He currently chairs working groups at the World Bank and the IDB and serves on the International Advisory Board of the National Center for Competence in Research (NCCR for Migration and Mobility) of the Swiss National Science Foundation.   He has been the recipient of grants from private corporations and foundations as well as government agencies, including the German Marshall Fund of the United States, the Social Science Research Council, the Sloan Foundation, the Owens Foundation, the Raytheon Company, and the National Science Foundation.His major books include Immigrants, Markets and States (Harvard), L'Immigration et l'Etat Nation: à la recherche d'un modèle national (L'Harmattan), Pathways to Democracy: The Political Economy of Democratic Transitions (with Calvin Jillson, Routledge), Migration, Trade and Development (with Pia Orrenius and Thomas Osang, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas), Herausforderung Migration—Perspektiven der vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft (with Uwe Hunger, Lit Verlag), Migration Theory (with Caroline Brettell, Routledge, now it its third edition), and Controlling Immigration ( with Philip Martin and Pia Orrenius, Stanford, also in its third edition). His current book projects are The Migration State (Harvard)—a study of how states manage international migration for strategic gains—and International Political Economy: History, Theory and Policy (with Thomas Osang, Cambridge). He also has published numerous scientific articles and reports on the political economy of international migration and development.

What if we could scientifically prove that compassion improves our well-being, our cognitive function, our longevity, and societal welfare? Here to explore these questions is our guest on this episode, Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon, inventor, entrepreneur and writer. As the founding director of Stanford's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, his academic focus is the neurobiological effects of meditation, compassion, and altruistic behavior.

After reading through Ruben Nieuwenhuis' CV, Roanne was confused - and a bit dizzy. He is the director of TechConnect, a Tech Talent program to activate & educate underrepresented groups into tech/IT jobs; but he is also a book author, as well as a social entrepreneur and the founder of many startups and companies (TechGrounds, Boeren voor Buren, TekkieWorden, CupolaXS, TechMeUp, Growth Tribe); sits in many different advisory boards (Codam, International Advisory Board, Amsterdam [Economic Board](www.amsterdameconomicboard.com/en/who-ar…#advisory), Future NL) and next to all that, he seems to be the driving force of just about a thousand initiatives. “So how can I describe your job function, exactly?”, Roanne asks before meeting Ruben at the Amsterdam SOHO house for this recording. Halfway during the interview, she decides: he must be an octopus, which totally makes sense to Ruben. Towards the end of their conversation, however, they both realize he can't be under water, at all: he needs to be on bridges, as those are his natural environment. Don't worry: just tune in, and all will become clear. Ruben also shares how he spent quite a bit of time in his career in helping a world that was, he later understood, increasing inequality and exclusivity. Courageously enough, he decided to then radically change gears. Listen how, and why. In this conversation, Ruben shares: - How he long worked in the techindustry without realizing how exclusive it was - How, when that realization finally came, he radically changed his goals - Why he is so committed to diversity, inclusion and equality of opportunity - How he combines all his jobs, without being busy - Why he forces himself to read book he does not want to read - and why you should, too - Why, as a good leader, you should be in touch with both the high ranks, and the target audience, in order to understand the whole SHOWNOTES: This podcast was hosted by [Dr.](www.roannevanvoorst.com/) Roanne van Voorst and facilitated by [HATCH](www.iamhatch.com/) - an experiential learning platform helping you and your company become future-proof. Ruben mentions the book [Humankind: A hopeful History](www.amazon.com/Humankind-Hopeful…man/dp/0316418536), by Dutch historian Rutger Bregman. And the book by Marleen Stikker: [Het Internet is Stuk](www.bol.com/nl/nl/f/het-interne…k/9200000115140353/) (the internet is broken, unfortunately not translated in English): He also tells about the cooperative economy that inspired him so much in [Jacksonville](cooperationjackson.org/).

As members of the Food Addiction Institute's International Advisory Board, we are passionate about supporting Food Addiction recovery for everyone, most especially children.  The Food Addiction Institute (FAI), founded in 2005, is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to support the healing of all food addicts. To accomplish our mission FAI works towards the following: Advocating widespread acceptance of food addiction as a disease of substance abuse and the availability of effective, abstinence-based solutions. Helping to identify and expand knowledge about food addiction. Providing professional and public education about food addiction as a treatable chemical dependency to physicians, dietitians, therapists, counselors, and allied health professionals, internationally. Offering information about promising new practices for the treatment of food addiction. Supplying resources for those who may be food addicted. Creating a forum for the development and dissemination of innovative and effective public health strategies related to the prevention, mitigation, and treatment of food addiction. It is out of this passion to help individuals with Food Addiction find recovery that we are asking you to consider donating $100 during the "Giving Challenge," which takes place April 26 - 27, noon to noon ET.  During this time, the Food Addiction Institute can TRIPLE donations with the help of both the Community Foundation of Sarasota County (Florida) and the Patterson Foundation.  Any money you donate will provide individuals with Food Addiction with information about recovery.  This is a chance to help those who need it most. To be tripled, all donations must go through the Giving Challenge website on April 26-27 12p-12p ET. Mary Foushi holds a degree in Human Services with a specialization in Addiction Studies.  She is a certified relapse-prevention specialist, a certified food addiction professional, and facilitates groups, workshops, and weeklong food addiction recovery intensives in the United States and abroad.  Mary is co-founder of ACORN Food Dependency Recovery Services, currently SHiFT Recovery by Acorn (foodaddiction.com), and has helped thousands of late-stage food addicts move toward abstinence and recovery.  As a recovering food addict, she is maintaining a 195-pound weight loss for over 27 years.  Ms. Foushi is the coauthor of Food Addiction Recovery: A New Model of Professional Support—The ACORN Primary Intensive. Phil Werdell, MA, was a college teacher and innovator in liberal arts and graduate education for 25 years.  After finding recovery from late-stage food addiction, he became the lead counselor at Glenbeigh Psychiatric Hospital of Tampa's residential food addiction program and Rader Institute of Washington's outpatient eating disorders program.  Mr. Werdell is cofounder of ACORN Food Dependency Recovery Services and the Food Addiction Institute.  He has written eight books on food addiction including “Physical Craving and Food Addiction: A Review of the Science.”  Phil's most recent writing is a second edition of the Disease Concept of Food Addiction.  He is currently working on a summary of outcome evaluations of food addiction treatment and a three-volume set of books on food addiction denial.

As the glittering skyline in Shanghai seemingly attests, China has quickly transformed itself from a place of stark poverty into a modern, urban, technologically savvy economic powerhouse. But as Scott Rozelle and Natalie Hell show in Invisible China, the truth is much more complicated and might be a serious cause for concern. China's growth has relied heavily on unskilled labor. Most of the workers who have fueled the country's rise come from rural villages and have never been to high school. While this national growth strategy has been effective for three decades, the unskilled wage rate is finally rising, inducing companies inside China to automate at an unprecedented rate and triggering an exodus of companies seeking cheaper labor in other countries. Ten years ago, almost every product for sale in an American Walmart was made in China. Today, that is no longer the case. With the changing demand for labor, China seems to have no good back-up plan. For all of its investment in physical infrastructure, for decades China failed to invest enough in its people. Recent progress may come too late. Drawing on extensive surveys on the ground in China, Rozelle and Hell reveal that while China may be the second-largest economy in the world, its labor force has one of the lowest levels of education of any comparable country. Over half of China's population—as well as a vast majority of its children—are from rural areas. Their low levels of basic education may leave many unable to find work in the formal workplace as China's economy changes and manufacturing jobs move elsewhere. In Invisible China: How the Urban-Rural Divide Threatens China's Rise (U Chicago Press, 2020), Rozelle and Hell speak not only to an urgent humanitarian concern but also a potential economic crisis that could upend economies and foreign relations around the globe. If too many are left structurally unemployable, the implications both inside and outside of China could be serious. Understanding the situation in China today is essential if we are to avoid a potential crisis of international proportions. This book is an urgent and timely call to action that should be read by economists, policymakers, the business community, and general readers alike. Scott Rozelle is the Helen F. Farnsworth Senior Fellow and the co-director of the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies and Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research at Stanford University. His research focuses almost exclusively on China and is concerned with agricultural policy, the emergence and evolution of markets and other economic institutions in the transition process and inequality, with an emphasis on rural education, health and nutrition. Rozelle's papers have been published in top academic journals, including Science, Nature, American Economic Review, and the Journal of Economic Literature. He is fluent in Chinese and has established a research program in which he has close working ties with several Chinese collaborators and policymakers. For the past 20 years, Rozelle has been the chair of the International Advisory Board of the Center for Chinese Agricultural Policy; a co-director of the University of California's Agricultural Issues Center; and a member of Stanford's Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center and the Center on Food Security and the Environment.
