WGI friends, this is a first! We have a return guest on the show this week. Please welcome back Jessica Greenberg as she talks all things motherhood. If you're a mom now, or know you'll be starting a family in the future, this episode has so many gems. Jessica tells us about how she and her husband have split duties while she works during the day and he stays home with their oldest. She tells us about the unique perk her job offers to new moms, and about her tough post-delivery story. Jessica works in the addiction recovery field, so you'll hear a bit about what she does when she's not playing mom to her kiddos. We also rant a bit about the messiness of politics and reproductive rights in this country. Thanks for listening!
Welcome to Season 2 of Industry Talk! We kick off the season with a super informative episode about casting with our wonderful guest, Jessica Greenberg from Greenberg Casting!
The fashion industry isn't exactly all rainbows and sunshine. Jessica of the Sustainable Rainbow blog is here to tell us how the small choices we make can curb the impact that the fashion industry has on our planet and our wallets. How you think about fashion, where you buy clothes and knowing the conditions in which your clothes are made are all great places to start! Also, Mai-Ly slips and calls Mandi by her government name and then a surprise reveal about our single status. To find more sustainable fashion resources as well as discount codes to secondhand clothing sites and more, please visit her blog at www.sustainablerainbow.com ! Jessica's fashions can be found on Instagram @sustainablerainbow
This technique provides a way for teachers to make sure their class time is not being wasted and that all students are aware of transitions. Let me know what you think!
In the entertainment industry there is a certain position that is highly underrated, unrecognized in all the award ceremonies and no one really gives out major accolades to, yet people who are in this position have the ability to change someone’s life, overnight. The casting director. They are somewhat of the intermediate between the actors & production. Put simply they help cast the show but really they do so much more than that. They rely on their intuition and Instincts and hold stake in the reason why you love that character but can’t put your finger on why...I was so lucky that Jessica Greenberg, of Greenberg Casting sat down with me to talk about this unconventional career path. It was really interesting to have a relaxed conversation with someone who sits on the other side of the table and have her demystify the process. Jessica is refreshingly down to earth, positive and really excited to get to know actors and local talent! She built her company from the ground up cause there’s no casting director training but the job itself. Actor or not this is a rare insight on an elusive industry and Jessica Greenberg makes is more relaxed, welcoming and fun!
Jessica Greenberg’s After the Revolution: Youth, Democracy, and the Politics of Disappointment in Serbia (Stanford University Press, 2014) explores a dual tension at work in Serbia in the early 2000s. She reveals young people’s disappointment in what they saw as a betrayal by their parents’ generation that led to the collapse of Yugoslavia and the failure of democracy in Serbia, as well as adults’ disappointment that young people did not live up to expectations of what student activists should be. This “politics of disappointment”opened up new understandings of democratic engagement on the part of Serbian students, resulting in activism that utilized “quality” protests, expertise in administrative reform, and procedural participation in politics. Greenberg draws on ethnographic research with three student groups to demonstrate young people’s frustration with the practicalities of life in Serbia and the consequence that student activists rejected utopias, “whether socialist, nationalist or revolutionary.” Although Greenberg argues throughout the book that lived democracy is profoundly contradictory and flawed and that it will never live up to idealized moments and normative expectations, she also demonstrates that democratic engagement can take a variety of forms in post-socialist, post-Cold War Eastern Europe. Jessica Greenberg is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Amanda Jeanne Swain is executive director of the Humanities Commons at the University of California, Irvine. She received her PhD in Russian and East European history at the University of Washington. Her research interests include the intersections of national, Soviet and European identities in the Baltic countries. Recent publications include articles in Ab Imperio and Cahiers du Monde Russe.
