South Africa is likely to prioritise energy security over its decarbonisation aspirations to avoid further damage to its economy, said James Mackay, the chief executive officer of the Energy Council of South Africa. That would involve extending the life of some of state power utility Eskom's coal-fired plants. The cost may be reduced access to concessional climate finance and a decline in the competitiveness of South African exports as the European Union ramps up levies on imported products that have carbon-heavy production processes, he said. "Energy security is fundamental to economic growth and activity," Mackay, whose organisation's members include Anglo American and Glencore, said in a November 16 interview. "The problem is that we are not solving decarbonisation, we are actually going to be pushing out our decarbonisation targets because we are going to live with extended, recapitalised coal." South Africa is the world's 14th-biggest source of climate-warming greenhouse gases. While the government has set an ambitious target to reduce its emissions by 2030, it's contending with recurrent power outages that are dragging down economic growth. The quickest way to end blackouts is to repair Eskom's old and poorly maintained coal-fired plants. Private companies are being encouraged to build renewable energy plants, but there isn't sufficient transmission capacity to connect many planned projects to the grid. That means money is likely to be spent on extending the life of a number of Eskom's plants that use fossil fuels, and plans to close about a quarter of its coal-fired capacity by 2030 may be delayed, Mackay said. The government and Eskom have said this is being considered. "We are probably seeing anything from three to four years on some of the smaller stations to even up to 10 years on some of the mid-life stations," Mackay said. Eskom said it's still considering whether to extend the life of the plants and has yet to ascertain the cost or impact on emissions of doing so. South Africa last year secured a commitment from some of the world's richest nations to provide $8.8-billion in climate finance to help it transition away from the use of coal, which currently accounts for more than 80% of the power generated in the country. The funding pledge came with the understanding that some coal-fired plants would close. If the plants are kept open for longer, a clear decommissioning plan will be needed to attract the finance required to add renewable energy capacity and bolster the transmission grid, Mackay said. He sees progress being made toward easing outages, known locally as loadshedding. "We are closing that gap quite rapidly and I think that we will see loadshedding substantially being reduced over the course of next year to the end of 2024," he said. Still, growth in renewable energy is too slow and needs to double to about seven or eight gigawatts a year, he added. "Everyone understands that the energy transition is lumpy, it's difficult, it's challenging, it's not a linear programme," Mackay said. "As long as we are robust and transparent around why the plans are potentially not working, what is being done to get those plans back on track and where are the areas of support that could try and accelerate closing those gaps, that is probably the best we could do."

James Mackay is the Founder, President, and CEO of Aristea Therapeutics, a San Diego-based company that is applying its insights on neutrophils to develop a treatment for a rare inflammatory skin condition known as palmoplantar pustulosis, PPP. Most of the people who get this disease are postmenopausal females, and 90%+ of the patients either are current cigarette smokers or have a history of cigarette smoking.  James explains, "So neutrophils are cells that are part of the immune system. They sit in the bone marrow, and then when there's either an infection or an inflammatory response in the body, the neutrophils are attracted out of the bone marrow to the site of infection or inflammation. In inflammatory diseases, what you often see is extremely large numbers of neutrophils accumulating at the site of the inflammation, which obviously causes some challenges for the patients." "And in our particular case, we have a drug, it's called RIST4721, which is a CXCR2 antagonist which actually blocks the neutrophils moving from the bone marrow to the site of inflammation. And we believe that this is potentially a way to treat a whole range of serious inflammatory diseases." "So there's definitely a direct link to cigarette smoking. There's not much basic research been done on PPP, so the exact reason for that is not clear, but we believe, based on some of the research, that it's due to the nicotine receptor in the sweat ducts on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. And the sweat ducts on the hands and the feet are different structures from those elsewhere in the body, which is why this disease probably just affects the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet." @AristeaTx #PPP #PalmoplantarPustulosis #RareDisease #Inflammation #Neutrophils #SanDiego aristeatx.com Download the transcript here

Standing on Waterloo Bridge in 2021, the artist re-examines the personal impact of Derek Jarman's final film, ‘Blue' (1993). His celebrated experimental film is a poetic reckoning with his grief at the loss of friends, lovers and his own life as a result of AIDS-related illnesses. ‘Time is what keeps the light from reaching us' is an audio essay, sampling from the film itself, asking the question, what does it mean to review Jarman's film without an image today? A re-view, in this case, might be defined by a multiplicity of looks; seeing again, anew, once more. As the artist finds out, ‘Blue' casts its shadow over all they see. From the vantage point of many years, ‘Time is what keeps the light from reaching us' is a cinematic vision; a long-distance double-take. About Cassandre Cassandre Greenberg is an artist and writer.

After leaving the university of Birmingham with a bachelors of science, he began for a period of six years working for a series of financial advising companies around the Bristol area of the UK As he says "After leaving University I decided on a change of direction. I completed a financial planning graduate programme with one of the UK's largest financial advice networks and have worked in the financial services profession ever since. Then I worked in several financial advisory firms, big and small, learning what works and what doesn't. My areas of expertise include working with small business owners, self-employed consultants & contractors, as well as professionals such as lawyers, solicitors and accountants." And now with his own company and his expanding team of colleagues he is really starting to see what I say in every episode. So what was the moment when he thought "Ok, its time to get going and do my own thing?" And what was the hardest part...getting his mindset going himself, or convincing his colleagues to start working with him and his fledgling enterprise?

As he said, listening to this podcast week in week out has given me the confidence to take the plunge and set up my own business My only regret. I wish I had done it sooner. The guidance tips and advice offered by David has been invaluable and I can only attribute the success I've had With my business Ted a valuable wisdom provided in these podcast me, but how has he done it? After leaving the University of Birmingham with a Bachelor's of Science he began for a period of six years working for a series of financial advising companies around the Bristol area of the UK and as he says, After leaving university, I decided on a change of direction I completed a financial planning Graduate Programme with one of the UK is largest financial advice network and have worked in the financial services profession ever since. Then, I worked in several financial advisory firms big and small, learning what works and what doesn't. And my areas of expertise include working with small business owners, self employed consultants and contractors as well as professionals, such as lawyers, solicitors, and accountants, and now with his own company, and he's expanding team of colleagues. He's really starting to see and do what I say in every episode. So what was the moment when you thought okay, okay, it's time to get going and do my own thing and What was the hardest part? getting his mindset going himself or convincing his colleagues to start working with him and he's fledgling enterprise? Well, let's find out as we bring on to the show to start joining up with the one and only James McCown. James Mackay 3:15 Good morning James. How are you? Unknown Speaker 3:18 Morning David and I'm really well thank you and what one introduction that was so thank you very much and as well, David Ralph 3:25 yeah, no, you are somebody is rocking and rolling because you've decided but you can do it and you can go out and you've gone into with big one aid. excitable eyes, although when I first spoke to you, you was less than excitable. He was Good morning, David. How are you? And I said, you know, let's perk it up, James that Yeah. James Mackay 3:49 I'm bouncing now. So this is a dreary, dreary, November morning in in Bristol, so maybe that was that's the excuse anyway, that I've got no very really pleased to be on the show. And yeah, thank you for doing what you do. Listen to most episodes, and I've kind of tracked you for, for quite a while. And yeah, it's been fascinating. Wow, David Ralph 4:13 thank you so much. And that's the end of me that let's move on to you. Because one of the things I want you to understand James is about those clouds. It's not dreary. And if you increase your altitude, Ben, it's always happy. Somebody said this to me once and I say a lot on the show because it's true. But jet pilots only have sunny days, because they're higher up. And so if we raise our sort of expertise and our standards, it's always going to be sunny in our life. Isn't it always a naive point of view as you are ploughing into growing your new business? James Mackay 4:48 No, absolutely. I think I think you're right. It's all in the mind, isn't it at the end of the day. I'm not really miserable, even though I think I maybe just had too much of a late night but yes, absolutely ready figure. David Ralph 5:02 Right? So let's talk about you because this this is fascinating. And as I say, I wanted you on the show and I set out my network to find you and then you just kind of bumbled into my life anyway. So it was it was brilliantly easy. So you were, are you interested? This is the key point to me, because I would be bored, stupid doing what you're doing, because I just haven't got regulation in my blood. I like to cut corners. I like to make things happen. And I know with the FSA as it used to be in whatever it is now. There's restrictions all the way around, does working in financial industries excite you and interest you or is it a job? James Mackay 5:45 Well, some people think financial advice can be boring. Yes, I understand that. But I mean, if I flip it in terms of you know your analogy a minute ago in terms of mindset, I mean, the things that we concentrate on Suppose the outcomes that we deliver for people and I don't think those are boring. So for you know, for example, you know, helping people build wealth faster to hit financial freedom or retirement sooner or giving people peace of mind that they know if anything happens to them, you know, their family will be taken care of. So, you know, if we really drill down on what we do, as much as you know, the legislation, the regulation, tax, all these kind of things, they can't they can be boring, yeah. But putting everything together and, and delivering those things. And, you know, most human beings want security, they want freedom, and and we kind of help them achieve that in in one way or another another So, so no, I don't find it that boring actually. I quite enjoy it. You know, you learn a huge amount about various different People who learn about their storeys that businesses what they want to get out of life and, and if you can be a small part of of helping them along their journey. I think it's, you know, it's a great profession personally, but I can see why I was boring. David Ralph 7:17 Yeah, no, but I agree with everything you said there. Because you know, in in that regard we're no different because I hopefully inspire people to do it. I'm actually I changed 360 recently and for the first three or four years of Join Up Dots, it was all about global domination, it was all about growth. And now I'm I'm fascinated with anti scale and I was on a podcast episode yesterday being interviewed. And I'm fascinated about how can you make the smallest business possible so that when you open your email, you've only got interested customers, you haven't got all the rubbish by blasting it out. Now we've yourself, obviously you've got to start getting customers. And as I say, constantly on Join Up Dots. Most people start a business because they think, Oh, I'm good at this thing, but then they suddenly realise there's a lot of other things that I need to be good at, or at least possible at the start getting the ball rolling, that one thing is just not enough. How did you do it? How did you go from saying, let's start this business to getting the first customer through the door? James Mackay 8:28 Good question. Actually, we, we spent a long time planning that this is I should also say, I've got a co co director, Chris. And also I better give a shout out to him. So we've kind of planned it together. But we, we we started off the business really with an idea of what we didn't want to be, I suppose. So I think a lot of people, rightly in many cases, think of advisors This kind of middle aged men in shiny suits that that talk, you know, talk a load of jargon filled language and the world of finance can be made simple, or it can be made extremely complex. And I think it's over complicated in a lot of areas and we wanted to simplify everything. So we have a bit of a saying sort of, you know, do it in crayon, where people can, you know, really understand, you know, concepts, whether it's you have to do with investments or whatever it is. So we kind of that was that was that was one that was one of the reasons we kind of the idea was was was born about I think also financial services, broadly. isn't the most highly trusted profession. I think we're probably somewhere between, I don't know, estate agents and car salesman with with respective professions. And yeah, exactly. And so we want and so we wanted we were really wanted to be a business that was the highest of honesty and integrity. And that was a, you know, a non negotiable. So, you know, we we think of that as having sort of the family test, you know, is the advice that we give to each of our clients the advice that we would give to a member of our family. And those big firms and banks can't can't say that they do that I don't think, David Ralph 10:24 well, I used to work for NatWest bank, I'm going to give him a name check, because they're not really around anymore in that West Bank. And we used to just sell stuff because we could sell it. Well, there wasn't any sort of qualms about it the customer needed or anything back in the 80s. It was just a tick box culture of Yeah, there's a few sales get down the pub in the afternoon and that was it, you know, you just did it. So it is brilliant, how it has become regulated as well. But one of the things that I was interested in, what you were saying is how you and your partner decided on what type of business you wanted. Become It can become a nightmare. So many people plough into it, they go into the scale by go for the financial rewards but then realised by never leaving their office. They're working incredibly long hours. And to be honest, they might as well have stayed at work, working for somebody else leaving at five o'clock. I mean, going back to it the next day. Did you have those kind of discussions about Yes, we want it to be like this. We want to provide the freedom for ourselves and not just our customers. James Mackay 11:29 Exactly that I mean, you hit the nail on the head, you know, we spend our time, our time helping people live, you know, live their lives by design. And it would be a bit hypocritical if we weren't to do the same. So we had an idea of what we wanted to build we we don't want our business to to scale to some dizzying heights and take on the world. We want to remain pretty small, pretty nimble. Look after people really well and and specialise in what we do as well, I think that's important. So for any business to actually find your, your target market and and and, you know, go deep on that rather than be all things to all people. David Ralph 12:17 Yeah if you go niche you get rich and I spend a lot of time now, as I say working with people because we we've got a business coaching platform going deeper and deeper. And when I started doing it, I thought I was going deep. But now every time I train somebody, we go even deeper and we find the rewards greater because quite simply, there's less competition. Now with yourself James, being the sexy individual you are. Are you the kind of person that can seduce people into your office because it's still you? You didn't answer it really James, you didn't answer it. So I'm going to come at it from a different way. Yeah, how did you get that first customer to go? Yes, this company's only been around two minutes but I'm gonna trust them How did you do that? James Mackay 13:11 Really it was first first customer was a family member in all honesty but I'll but I'll wipe that aside is getting out there oh no why David Ralph 13:21 why would you want that? Because that is that is a customer you know you are targeting people that need your help and I think so many people make the mistake of thinking, Okay, I'm in London I need clients from you know New York but actually you need the next door neighbour you need to personally in the next room. James Mackay 13:39 Oh, yeah, exactly. I was gonna open so cuz I didn't answer your question. But really, for me, it's getting out there and meet meeting people. And I think when you get out there and meet people in your local area, let your local community whether it's networking, I still I still attempt to play rugby although my body's trying to stop me, and, and and, you know, meeting people and if you know if they kind of learn a little bit about you learn a little bit about your business, understand what we do differently, then a lot of people are quite interested, and whether that's luck or judgement, I'm not sure that we've had a really David Ralph 14:22 so where's the difference in James? where's where's the difference? Well, what would you do that is different because that is what, you know, benefits and services aren't sexy. But the difference is what makes a difference in what you do, how you create the vision of what somebody is going to get how their life is going to change. How do you express that difference to them? James Mackay 14:46 Yeah, well, expressing it is one thing really, we've tried to show them so we try and put we try and put their numbers into into pictures really. Which sounds like a strange concept. We can show them using a few different tools that we have financial planning software and all these kinds of things. And really we can put in someone's you know, financial life understand what they want their future to look like. And we can show them whether they're online on track to achieve it or not, and if not what they have to do to course correct. What are the things that they can do today to achieve what they want to do, whether it's, you know, becoming financially independent and retiring at 5560 whether it's travelling the world, whether it's, can they afford to spend more now and not put so much weight for the future. So, really, we we focus much more on the big picture of our clients financial lives, because people don't really have financial goals in my experience. They have they have life goals with financial implications, and so we focus on far more about their life. Well, they're trying to achieve and answering, you know, the, the big picture questions that they have. And I think we take away a lot of people walk around with sort of a burden of, you know, uncertainty and worry about the future. And I think we help, you know, we take that off their shoulders to some extent, by doing what we do. So, we do we do to, you know, things quite different from the norm of, you know, just catching up having a cup of tea and chatting about what the investment markets has done recently, and I think that's, that's one of the biggest things that we found our clients have really sold on Well, that's different. We really want to do that. So yeah. David Ralph 16:44 Yeah, because that sexy time isn't it? The vision is sexy time I had a guest on the show. I lady can't remember the name but like me, but she was a financial person in America. And she basically said to people, it's not about having lots of money in the bank account is about having experiences, what do you what do you want most from and let's try and bring that into your life. And I think but yes, I want to support my kids, but I don't want to support my kids, if it means that I'm not having a good life, you know, basically, I want to go out travelling when I want, I want to go your way with a wife when I want. And then when I die, I say to the kids, look, there's there's a bit of money for you. But I've had a bloody good time. And it was all my effort. That's where I think it is. And that's what I think a lot of people fail miserably in your industry, but they're talking about, you know, high interest savings accounts and switching ditch and all the kinds of stuff all important. James Mackay 17:44 Yeah, but it is not boring. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And understanding what you want to do. Some people some people know that like you know yourself you want to sort of you know, you're only here once you want to live depending on the beliefs that You know, most people only only here once and want to make the most of it. And, and I think, you know, having the knowledge of what that means, you know what you really want to do what you we often we often ask a question to, to two people to stay if they're struggling to really, you know, if they're just Well, I want to retire at this sort of age. We say, Well, you know, if you were, if you were struggling, health wise, if you didn't have that long to go, what would you regret not doing? And that is it's a difficult question to ask and it's an even more difficult question to answer. But often that you know, asking yourself that can really help you understand some of the some of the things that you would really love to do. You know, I think I think you know, you know, we don't we don't often give ourselves time. to really think about the future, think about what we're trying to get out of life. And, and, and really sitting down and having a think about those sorts of things. Like you may or may not have done, but by the sounds that you've kind of, you know, you have a good idea in terms of what you want to what you want to get out of life. And that's the first that's the first part of what we do. I think. David Ralph 19:21 I know my biggest regret in life will be, but I haven't seen every part of this world. You know, when I go on road trips, and when I go travelling, and you get a bit tired people always say to me, oh, why don't you have a keep in the back? You know, and I always think to myself, no, because I'm going to miss out on seeing, you know, it's something that I will never see again and I want to absorb this planet, because I think that ability to, to, you know, wonder the world with freedom. That's the thing that excites me so much, but actually, when I die, I think I haven't seen Greenland. I haven't seen this. I haven't Same bat. I think that is where the experiences of what you're talking about, come into my life big time, how do I channel my money, and my time and we're going to come to that straight after these words, we're going to talk about money in time. He's, Jim Carrey 20:14 my father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him. And so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. And when I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. And our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don't want. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. David Ralph 20:41 Now, one of the things he says in there is do anything you can basically to get it going. Now I speak to so many people, James, and I'd literally want to shake them because I know they're not willing to do the hard work and everything that is great in life takes time. takes time. It takes effort. It takes sleepless nights it takes investment. Did you know in your heart of hearts that you had that effort that you were really going to make a go for it go with it? James Mackay 21:14 short answer is yes. Yeah. I, I've always wanted to run a business. I've always been really interested in business. And I've always kind of I probably, if anything, I've kind of overworked rather than underworked, and sometimes I like patients, which is which is often a sign that you know, you're you know, you're ambitious and you came to came to do different things in life and achieve different things in life. So, yes, I'm certainly one of those people. I don't know whether it's always a good thing. As a matter of fact, that you're always focusing on, you know, the next the next thing to achieve. I think sometimes you need to appreciate just Kind of where you are what you've got. But yeah, that's me in a nutshell. David Ralph 22:04 I was laying in bed this morning and the alarm went off and me and my wife always have a little cuddle. And it annoys me actually this cuddle and I'm gonna, I'm gonna air it to the world for the podcast. She doesn't listen to me in the house, so you're not going to listen to this. But I like that the alarm goes off. I look at the alarm and I get out of bed because they know I've had my full quota of sleep. But my wife likes to keep on snoozing it so I had to look at the clock but like half hour until she's ready to get up out of bed. She says it's a cuddle but I find it is an inconvenience. Anyway, I've Ed. Why do women not just want to sleep until I can wake up and Ben just jump straight out of bed. James, what's up? James Mackay 22:47 I've got no idea that one that's not my domain. David Ralph 22:53 It's just madness. It's madness. Yeah. But anyhow, I was laying in bed and she bought me a cup of tea this morning. She said what you got on to And I said, Oh, it's best best guys at 10 o'clock in the morning. And then I got about six more later on. And I was saying to you know, it's funny why I constantly look at what needs to be done, because what I've already done is enough. And, you know, this is where my mindset at the moment is on empty scale on knowing that pushing, pushing, pushing doesn't do anything in the long term other than where you are. Now. It does do it to a certain point, you know, you've got to put push an effort in at the beginning, but there's got to be somebody that says to you, which I didn't with me, James, you're looking knackered me You need to have a break. You need to go off on vacation you need to leave this behind. It will be back when you get back. Have you got anyone in there in your life that is your sort of anchor that pulls you back when the James hustle muscle is going too far. James Mackay 24:00 Yes, I do and, and, and sometimes I think that's the best thing that you know, whether it's your other half whether it's your business partner can say to you is is, is, you know, look, you know, you stop and, and chill out whether it's you know, going on a holiday or just having a, you know, an afternoon off or an early night or whatever it is, I think these days as well I think gradually we're, we're moving away from the typical, you know, nine to five work week, you know, with with technology and and, and the gig economy growing and all that kind of thing. And I think I think humans actually work best if we if we kind of works, you know, Sprint work, if that makes sense. And then you know, and then take long periods of long periods of rest, I think, I think the, you know, the slugging it You know, a 1012 plus hours a day. I think that's a bit of a relic of the industrial age and and when you're, you know, trying to be creative or using using your mind i think i think it's probably not that good for you either and you don't you don't do your best work. just slowly trying to battle through and slogan. So the way David Ralph 25:22 I you know I mentioned this because it's so important, it really is important, but when I started Join Up Dots, I know it only sounds like a podcast, you know, and people today, just think that I can launch one and make a success of it. But I was doing literally 20 hours a day, I really was I was working till midnight, and being going to bed, but I couldn't get to sleep. And then I'll probably get to sleep about two o'clock and then I was waking up at six again and going and I look back at pictures of myself now. I look terrible. I look really really terrible and everything was just going to pieces My life, but not one person really said to me, David, there's a different way. They said to me, You should stop. And I was saying, well, I can't stop because I've got to build it, I've got to get it going. But nobody actually said to me, there's a better way. And the better way is walking away, giving yourself two or three days off, and allowing that obstacle that you're pushing against, to come up with a solution. And I play an Oprah Winfrey speech when she says, you know, be quiet, don't think about what you've got to do. Just think about the next right thing. Is your next right being obvious or do you get lost in the process as well? Have you got a plan what you're going to be doing this week or next week? Or do you literally juggle plates as soon as you walk through the door James? James Mackay 26:49 I'm somewhere in the middle. So excuse me, you know, we have a long our long term plan for business personal life and and you know, set some goals but In terms of actually trying to, you know, not be splits spinning too many places you say I do something called a well bit of a morning routine where I plan each day I don't plan a week because things change too quickly so I kind of set you know on a Sunday night I kind of set everything that I want to do this week block out the you know, whether the meetings and then each day I know how much free time I've got and I can I can plan and block out the things I want to achieve in that time. So I think a great book on on this I think is atomic habits by by James clearer than if you've read it. No. You haven't heard of it. It's no no, it's, it's, it's brilliant. And he actually is an American guy. fascinating, fascinating from what you Said I think he'd be really interested in his work. And he, he talks about you know, having it's all it's all well and good having all of these big goals in the future. But really we're a product of our kind of daily habits and sets about how you should use your time most of most efficiently and, and set up your kind of, you know, the big things each day that are going to, you know, help you achieve those goals rather than just saying, you know, I've got to get to x revenue, if you're in a business and running around, chasing your tail, trying to just reach that big goal. He talks about breaking it down, putting it into

Tom King was Margaret Thatcher's defence secretary. In November 1990 he was running the biggest deployment of UK troops since World War II for Operation Desert Shield against Saddam Hussein. He returned to find his boss on the way out and pleaded with her to pre-announce her departure so a more orderly exit could ensue. James Mackay was a Scottish lawyer who by November 1990 found himself number two in the cabinet, reading a tribute to Margaret Thatcher - and helping her struggle through her resignation statement. Both say it's a meeting they will never forget.

Choctaw writer LeAnne Howe has quickly emerged as a crucial voice in twenty-first-century American literature. Her innovative, award-winning works of fiction, poetry, drama, and criticism capture the complexities of Native American life and interrogate histories of both cultural and linguistic oppression throughout the United States. In LeAnne Howe at the Intersections of Southern and Native American Literature (LSU Press, 2018), Kirstin L. Squint (Associate Professor of English at High Point University) expands contemporary scholarship on Howe by examining her nuanced portrayal of Choctaw history and culture as modes of expression. Squint shows that Howe’s writings engage with Native, southern, and global networks by probing regional identity, gender power, authenticity, and performance from a distinctly Choctaw perspective—a method of discourse which Howe terms “Choctalking.” Drawing on interdisciplinary methodologies and theories, Squint complicates prevailing models of the Native South by proposing the concept of the “Interstate South,” a space in which Native Americans travel physically and metaphorically between tribal national and U.S. boundaries. Squint considers Howe’s engagement with these interconnected spaces and cultures, as well as how indigeneity can circulate throughout them.

Choctaw writer LeAnne Howe has quickly emerged as a crucial voice in twenty-first-century American literature. Her innovative, award-winning works of fiction, poetry, drama, and criticism capture the complexities of Native American life and interrogate histories of both cultural and linguistic oppression throughout the United States. In LeAnne Howe at the Intersections of Southern and Native American Literature (LSU Press, 2018), Kirstin L. Squint (Associate Professor of English at High Point University) expands contemporary scholarship on Howe by examining her nuanced portrayal of Choctaw history and culture as modes of expression. Squint shows that Howe’s writings engage with Native, southern, and global networks by probing regional identity, gender power, authenticity, and performance from a distinctly Choctaw perspective—a method of discourse which Howe terms “Choctalking.” Drawing on interdisciplinary methodologies and theories, Squint complicates prevailing models of the Native South by proposing the concept of the “Interstate South,” a space in which Native Americans travel physically and metaphorically between tribal national and U.S. boundaries. Squint considers Howe’s engagement with these interconnected spaces and cultures, as well as how indigeneity can circulate throughout them.

Chef Sean Sherman, Oglala Lakota and originally from Pine Ridge Reservation, has become one of the most important voices in the Indigenous foods revitalization movement. By researching in the archives, visiting elders, and experimenting with new uses for traditional ingredients and techniques, he has created a new vision for modern Native American cuisine. That vision is realized inThe Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen (University of Minnesota Press, 2017). Particularly making use of the traditional foods of Minnesotan tribal peoples, his company The Sioux Chef and the related non-profit North American Traditional Food Systems (NATIFS) have now released their first cookbook with the University of Minnesota Press, described as follows: “Sherman dispels outdated notions of Native American fare—no fry bread or Indian tacos here—and no European staples such as wheat flour, dairy products, sugar, and domestic pork and beef. The Sioux Chef’s healthful plates embrace venison and rabbit, river and lake trout, duck and quail, wild turkey, blueberries, sage, sumac, timpsula or wild turnip, plums, purslane, and abundant wildflowers. Contemporary and authentic, his dishes feature cedar braised bison, griddled wild rice cakes, amaranth crackers with smoked white bean paste, three sisters salad, deviled duck eggs, smoked turkey soup, dried meats, roasted corn sorbet, and hazelnut-maple bites.” James Mackay is Assistant Professor of British and American Studies at European University Cyprus, and is one of the founding editors of the open access Indigenous Studies journal Transmotion.

Sovereignty is a key concept in Native American and Indigenous Studies, but its also a term that is understood in multiple ways. Working across the boundaries of legal and literary theory, David J. Carlson‘s Imagining Sovereignty: Self-Determination in American Indian Law and Literature (University of Oklahoma Press, 2016) examines the works, both creative and theoretical, of many Native intellectuals who have considered sovereignty in the past century. Sovereignty emerges in this study as a necessarily imprecise concept that mediates between indigenous communities and also with the settler colonial government of the United States. Carlson discusses thinkers who have previously been seen as opposed, showing ways that their disparate projects can in fact be seen via the idea of self-determination as in many ways complementary.

While diplomats and academics met at the General Assembly of the United Nations on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan, the Asia Society hosted "Voices from Burma," an event honoring the stories of Burmese refugees and political prisoners. Actor and playwright Wallace Shawn, actor Kathryn Grody, writers Amitav Ghosh and Deborah Eisenberg, and former political prisoner Law Eh Soe read from Nowhere to Be Home: Narratives from Survivors of Burma's Military Regime. Veteran journalist, educator, and current Director of the Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations Orville Schell opened and closed the event.   The stories in Nowhere to Be Home are first-hand accounts of refugees who have survived displacement within and across Burma's borders, who have witnessed the destruction of thousands of ethnic minority villages, and who witnessed their home become a country with one of the largest fleets of child soldiers in the world. The book is the seventh title in the McSweeney's non-profit Voice of Witness publication series, and executive director Mimi Lok helped curate the event. “It’s impossible not to be engaged and moved by these stories,” Lok said. “Hopefully people will be compelled to encourage the United Nations to make sure the work is being done to investigate these abuses.” The event concluded with a prayer by U Agga, a Theravada Buddhist monk and Burmese refugee. Facing the packed auditorium and joined by monks U Gawsita and U Pinyar Zawta, U Agga repeated three times: “May there be no deception of one another. May love and kindness envelope the world and may there be peace on earth.” The issue of human rights in Burma has been a long-standing debate at the U.N. Sixteen member states currently support a U.N.-led Commission of Inquiry to investigate crimes against humanity in Burma, including the United States, Australia, Canada, France and the United Kingdom. Others argue open political and economic engagement with Burma is a better strategy. Below listen to Amitov Ghosh and Deborah Eisenberg read the oral histories of Aye Maung and Fatima. Closing remarks by Orville Schell. Burmese refugee U Agga ends with his oral history narrative and Theravada Buddist prayer. Bon Mots: The words of survivor Khin Lwe on the complex beauty of Burma, read by actor Kathryn Grody: "One day when I was a child, I was playing with some fruit. My mom had never let me eat this fruit before, because she was worried I would choke on the seeds. But I accidentally broke the fruit open and I saw it was ripe, so I tasted it. It tasted so sweet. The situation in Burma is like that. The people don’t even know what the fruit is, but when they start to learn and become concerned about the issues in Burma, then they will start to understand how sweet the fruit can be." Survivor Hla Min remembers life before abandoning his post in the Burmese military. His words as read by Wallace Shawn: "While we were on the front line, our officers ordered us to completely destroy the local people. They told us that even the children had to be killed if we saw them. I saw soldiers abducting young girls, dragging them from their houses and raping them. At the time, I felt that those girls were like my sisters." Executive director of Voice of Witness Mimi Lok on publishing first-person narratives: "We approach the architecture of an oral history narrative in the same way we might approach a short story—but underpinned by our responsibility to journalistic integrity. So we make sure everything is fact checked and accurate." The Asia Society event was sponsored by the Pen American Center, the Open Society Foundations, Voice of Witness and the Magnum Foundation. Video work by Magnum photographers Chien Chi Chang and Lu Nan with James Mackay were presented throughout the evening.
