Podcast appearances and mentions of Joshua Freeman

Het rapport van Mario Draghi over het concurrentievermogen van Europa is het gesprek van de dag in de wandelgangen van bedrijven en overheden. Volgens Draghi staat Europa economisch gezien voor een "existentiële uitdaging": als we niet nú vól inzetten op een sterkere concurrentiepositie, dan leggen we het af tegen China en de VS. Er staat inderdaad heel veel op het spel, en het onderwerp is relevant voor iedereen, niet alleen voor economen en beleidsmakers. In deze aflevering maken podcasthost Allard Amelink en econoom Paul Schenderling dit cruciale onderwerp voor jou behapbaar en begrijpelijk. We slikken daarbij de conclusies en aanbevelingen van Draghi niet voor zoete koek. Ja, Europa staat voor een existentiële uitdaging, maar níet op de manier die Draghi ons voorhoudt. Hoe dat zit en waarom relevant dit is voor iedereen, hoor je in deze aflevering.Bronnen die ter sprake komen in deze aflevering:- Het rapport-Draghi: https://commission.europa.eu/document/download/97e481fd-2dc3-412d-be4c-f152a8232961_en?filename=The%20future%20of%20European%20competitiveness%20_%20A%20competitiveness%20strategy%20for%20Europe.pdf- Twee boeken over de VS: Underground Empire van Henry Farrell en Abraham Newman en End Times: Elites, Counter-Elites, and the Path of Political Disintegration van Peter Turchin.- Een boek over China: Vampire State: The Rise and Fall of the Chinese Economy. - Een boek over de opkomst van moderne fabriekssystemen: Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World van Joshua Freeman.

Episode 14 of Fragile Juggernaut is the first of our trio of regional episodes. It dials into New York City, the seat of the country's largest manufacturing base, but one composed of a vast constellation of small and diverse shops; and also host to the nation's largest port, transport system, white collar and cultural complex, and more. With the eminent historian Joshua Freeman, Gabe and Ben talk about worker organizing outside the CIO cast–public transit workers, teachers, laundry workers and domestics–as well as what made New York City, a non-fordist city in the age of Ford, so exemplary compared to other parts of the country. The episode features James Baldwin and Truman Capote; Irish dance halls and cruising on the piers; burial societies, Tammany Hall, and clandestine organizations; the origins of bodegas and how the mob got rackets into organized labor; the trade union origins of “Strange Fruit”; Ella Baker and Esther Cooper Jackson; the IRA and Broadway musicals; how transit workers built their union campaigning against big squeegees; the hybrid combinations of craft and industrial unionism; and the limits to workplace organization in a city defined by tremendous ethnic, religious, and neighborhood segmentation. Featured music: “I Ain't Got Nobody” by Count Basie; “It's Better With A Union Man” by Pins and Needles Orchestra; “Strange Fruit” by Billie Holiday; “The Boys of the Lough” by Michael Coleman; “Talking Sailor” by Woody Guthrie; “One Big Union for Two” by the Pins and Needles Orchestra; “New York Town” by Woody Guthrie.Archival audio credits: Esther Cooper Jackson discusses domestic work research; Mike Quill debates Rep. Fred Hartley on ABC news; longshoreman and sailor Stan Weir describes conservatizing effects of the racket on the docks.

The longer we talked, the more I appreciated the things Josh had to say about life and family. We talked a lot off the recording as well. There is just so much that I could appreciate about his experiences. Josh shares about some of his family's trials of mental and physical health--and the toll those have on his mental health. I can commiserate! Having to deal with others' mental health problems is a weight! But I love the ways that Josh and his wife work together to find a balance. I love the way they love their children as much as possible. I love the way Josh has found an outlet (running) that is soothing his soul and teaching him so much about Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the earth, ancestors, and so much more. (I said he almost has me convince to start running.) This is a very vulnerable and amazing conversation. I'm so grateful for Joshua Freeman.

In Sparwood, B.C., tragedy struck when Joel Zimbalatti was found dead in his mobile home. Despite months passing since the incident, the details surrounding his death remain veiled in mystery. While one individual fled the scene before authorities arrived on Oct. 11, another, identified as "Slim" (real name Joshua Freeman), has emerged as a crucial person of interest. Joshua isn't the only person of interest though, a second man was taken into custody and released, and has since been uncooperative with the investigation.Joel's mother Toni and his best friend Chris are pleading anyone with information on Slim's whereabouts to come forward.Slim, described as a tall, thin white man with distinctive sideburns, was last sighted in the Kimberly area but is believed to have ties to the Okanagan region. With Slim's knowledge crucial to unravelling the events leading to Joel's death, authorities urge caution but implore anyone with information to contact them immediately.To anyone with information regarding Joshua Freeman, the other person of interest, or the case in general, please call 1-877-987-8477. If sighted, do not approach; instead, contact authorities promptly by dialling 911.--Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpod Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

When the Chinese state clamped down on the Uyghur community, he lived under constant threat of arrest, and says he couldn't even perform his poems. So he decided to try and escape his homeland. Tahir has a memoir out about his experiences called Waiting to Be Arrested at Night, translated by Joshua Freeman. Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producer: Harry Graham Editor: Andrea Kennedy

Welcome to the second season of She's Wild, the Podcast for Women in Land & Development. Today's guest is Michelle DiFebo Freeman, the owner and CEO of the Carl M. Freeman Companies, a Real Estate company established in 1947, that specializes in land acquisition, land planning, development and redevelopment, and the management of award-winning, amenity-rich residential communities, neighborhood shopping centers and commercial properties. Michelle is president and chairman of the Carl M. Freeman Foundation and the founding Chair of the Joshua M. Freeman Foundation, which honors her late husband Joshua Freeman by providing arts and arts education to create opportunities to elevate the human spirit.  Among the numerous awards for business and philanthropic leadership, Michelle received the 2014 Irene and Abe Pollin Humanitarian Award on behalf of the Carl M. Freeman Foundation, Coastal Style Magazine's Business Woman of the Year for 2015, 2016, and 2017.Michelle is also a minority partner in Monumental Sports and Entertainment which owns Capital One Arena, the Washington Capitals, Wizards, Mystics and Valor Football. She is one of 13 female NBA team owners and In 2013 Elle Magazine named her as one of the 10 Most Influential Women in Washington, D.C. In this episode, Michelle and I discuss her career journey, what it was like after her husband unexpectedly passed away in a tragic accident, how she rebuilt her company after the 2009 recession, and why she loves working in development, philanthropy, and sports. For Michelle it's all about the human connection and by the end of this show you'll understand why. Memorable Moments: 14:28. Believe it or not, loneliness became a huge thing for me coming out of losing my own husband, and going through the downturn, and coming out of COVID. How do people that live in our communities meet one another drove everything we did. Soft programming and creating opportunities for people to be together in Bayside became a huge thing for us as a company.22:25. There are times I drive through Bayside, Tidewater Landing, or Tower Hill now. And you see people outside and they don't know who you are, and you drive through, you're in your vehicle you're checking, like, how something's been installed, or, you know, we're top paving, and I'll ride through to make sure the top paving, you know, I'm just driving through and you see like, a kid on a bike, or you see a family, you know, barbecuing in their backyard, or you see two neighbors chatting, or you drive by a pool, and there's tons of people out at the pool, and they're, you know, they're enjoying life. And you go, oh, this is why I love this business. It's like at the end of the day, that's what matters, right? It's people spending time together.31:35. I think when it comes to women being in business, you need other women who push you forward who tell you, you can. Who encourage you, but you also need men who make space at the table for you.37:44. I am a die-hard person who believes in capitalism, who believes in entrepreneurialism, who believes that this is the greatest country in the world, because we can build business here. I am a go-getter. I do go after a business opportunity. I can make the places where I live, I can be dedicated to making them better, AND still be a good businessperson. And those things can coexist at the same time.Connect with Nancy: Instagram:https://instagram.com/nancysurakLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancysurak/Website: www.nancysurak.comConnect with Michelle:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-difebo-freeman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michfreeman1/Watch Michelle's TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEYvn4YiXWkhttps://www.freemancompanies.com/https://carlmfreemanfoundation.org/https://www.livebayside.com/https://monumentalsports.com/Michelle's Podcast Recommendation: The Daily https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-daily/id1200361736Michelle's Favorite Book: Who Moved My Cheese Book via Amazon: https://a.co/d/83UoCdoShe's Wild Sound Production by Luke Surak, Surak Productions:  surakproductions@gmail.com

The modern day warehouse is undeniably more advanced than early factories from the 18th century, but there are also many similarities (beyond both being 4 walls and a roof!). Not just for the buildings themselves, but how towns and cities have been shaped as a result of industrialization. In fact, our societies have been shaped in large part due to the industrial revolution. To understand how we got where we are today, I interviewed Dr. Joshua Freeman, a professor, former executive officer, and author who literally wrote the book on the topic. After reading his book, Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World (which I highly recommend!), I reached out to see if he would be willing to chat about it. To my delight, he agreed and we had an amazing conversation about the first factory in 1721, to how Richard Arkwright pioneered the factory system in the 1760's. From textiles, to iron, to more recent manufacturing systems and warehousing, industrialization has left an indelible mark on mankind. And while I'm unwaveringly passionate about this industry - and attribute much of our high standards of living (at least historically speaking) to the industrial revolution - I also recognize it has come at a cost. Dr. Freeman provided a detailed explanation of just how remarkably complex this topic is, with some sage wisdom on what we need to do going forward. Time stamps: 0:00 - Introduction 1:25 - The first factory (Derby Lombe's Mill) 5:10 - The factory system (Richard Arkwright) 8:32 - The importance of labor 14:31 - The second industrial revolution 17:17 - Shift from textiles to iron 19:00 - Offshoring of manufacturing 26:54 - Is robotics the future? 32:30 - Multi-story industrial properties 34:54 - Buildings change, yet similarities remain 36:49 - Negative externalities of the industrial revolution 42:02 - Is there a fix for the environmental issues? 46:32 - Is there another book in the works? -- Dr. Freeman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Freeman Behemoth book: https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B073SFV8DK&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_TBE0YGMXKV070SW4MB49 If you're interested in learning more, I have an article about the etymological history of "industrial real estate": https://industrialize.com/blog/f/industrial-real-estate-a-linguistic-and-historical-investigation --

Investigations are continuing into how an Auckland Airport worker who cleans aeroplanes that arrive from both red and green-zone countries caught Covid-19. Genomic testing linked the infection to a traveller who arrived from Ethiopia via the United Arab Emirates on a plane the worker later cleaned. So, what do we know about how the virus behaves in these environments, and the risks? Dr Joshua Freeman, the clinical head of microbiology at the Canterbury DHB's laboratories, and an expert in viral aerosols, spoke to Corin Dann.

The last time historian Joshua Freeman saw his former professor Abduqadir Jalalidin was in 2016, when they were sharing drinks and stories in Jalalidin’s apartment in the city of Urumqi, China. Jalalidin, a famous Uighur poet, and Freeman, a translator of Uighur poetry, also share a mutual interest in Uighur history and culture. Less than two years later, Freeman learned that Jalalidin had been one of the million-plus Uighur people sent to China’s so-called “reeducation” camps. These camps are widely reported to be part of a vast, coordinated campaign by the Chinese government to persecute and forcibly assimilate Muslim ethnic groups in the Xinjiang region of northwest China.  Screenshot of the poet and professor Abduqadir Jalalidin speaking into a microphone.  Credit: WetenTV/YouTube Related: French politician aims to expose China's concentration campsAfter years of silence, Freeman finally heard from his former professor in an unexpected way — in the form of a poem.“What I learned is that even in the camps, my old professor had continued writing poetry,” Freeman said. While he can’t know for sure, Freeman believes that fellow camp inmates had memorized Jalalidin’s poem and it spread by word of mouth outside the camp gates, eventually reaching Freeman in New Jersey.“I was deeply moved that other inmates had managed to get this poem beyond the camp. I felt that this was a witness that the world needed to hear, that this was a testimony the world needed to hear.”Joshua Freeman, historian and Uighur poetry translator, Princeton, New Jersey“I doubt that Abduqadir ever expected that this poem was going to reach me,” said Freeman, who is a postdoctoral fellow at Princeton University. “I was deeply moved that other inmates had managed to get this poem beyond the camp. I felt that this was a witness that the world needed to hear, that this was a testimony the world needed to hear.”Related: Experts: China's Uighur population control meets criteria for genocideFreeman translated the poem from Uighur into English and began sharing it on social media. The poem, “No Road Back Home,” is a mournful expression of being trapped in a hopeless situation, of yearning for community and home. “No Road Back Home,” by Abduqadir Jalalidin, in English (left) and Uighur (right).  Credit: Courtesy of Joshua Freeman Freeman said he was profoundly moved when he first encountered the poem.“I think about what's happening in the Uighur region all the time, but this was one of the very most affecting and direct documents I'd ever encountered from the unimaginable suffering that's happening there right now,” Freeman said. “You know, amidst all of the suffering and hopelessness, there is the resilience and the courage and the creativity of writing this poem.”Poetry is a powerful force in Uighur culture, said Freeman, who often posts Uighur poetry and his translations on his Twitter page. The fact that many people memorized Jalalidin’s words is a testament to that.  Related: Data leak gives insight into China's Uighur detention“Many of the best-known and most influential and most loved documents of Uighur history are poems,” Freeman said. “This poem is a very important document of what's happening right now.”Memorizing a poem like this one can help suffering Uighurs connect with their love for their language and shared history, Freeman said. It's also a significant act in the face of China’s targeted attacks on Uighur culture and traditions.“In terms of Uighur continuity and in terms of self-preservation and in terms of keeping one's spirits up amidst an impossible situation, I think poetry has that … direct role here."Joshua Freeman, historian and Uighur poetry translator, Princeton, New Jersey“In terms of Uighur continuity and in terms of self-preservation and in terms of keeping one's spirits up amidst an impossible situation, I think poetry has that … direct role here,” Freeman said.As for this poem’s impact on the plight of Uighur people, it depends on whether people around the world are willing to stand up and do something, Freeman said. “Is the world going to stand silently, or is the world going to listen?” 

Scared and stressed - that is how many people are feeling while lining up and having to wait hours to get tested for Covid-19, according to those on the ground.People are turning up in droves to testing stations around the country after more cases of the deadly virus were confirmed in the last few days.In Auckland, there are reports of people waiting anything between an hour or two to get the swab that will determine whether or not they are safe from Covid-19.In one case, an Auckland resident reported waiting in their vehicle for four hours to get to the clinic set up at St Lukes.That incident was reported by Act Leader David Seymour, who said a resident had contacted him about it."The four-hour delay gives rise to serious questions... People already face poor incentives to be tested."Some people can't afford to be taken out of action for two weeks by a positive test.""Making them wait four hours makes it worse. How many people in the queue that day simply turned around after a few hours and went home, potentially spreading the virus?"The queues in and around St Lukes have caused so much congestion in the last few days that buses in the area are now being diverted to avoid heavy traffic in and around St Lukes Road.In West Auckland, the testing clinic at Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust, in Henderson, has seen record numbers in the last three days - not helped by the fact that other testing stations in the area have not opened back up since lockdown.'A lot of stressed people'The trust's chief executive, John Tamihere, said they had seen more than 400 people come through yesterday and about 377 people on Monday."A lot of people have a strong feeling of angst over this. A lot of people sacrificed a lot during the lockdown and they've started to panic again," he said."What we're noticing is a lot of stressed people and we try to temper them."The congestion in the last three days had been so bad that a new route had been panned out today - with the line going down Catherine St and Dora St, towards the main road on Railside Ave.Eight Māori wardens were directing traffic while six social workers and four practice nurses worked. One general practitioner is overseeing the site.Tamihere said they had seen a marked increase in the number of people coming in each day as more cases had been confirmed.It is thought that that, coupled with it being flu season, any given symptom was being checked to ensure it was not Covid-19."No doubt it has [ramped up] because of the confirmed cases. That's what's caused it."Epidemiologist Dr Joanna McKenzie would not be drawn on why she thought there were huge numbers of people lining up to get tested.However, she said the fact that Covid-19 active cases had popped up again was "totally expected.""It's totally expected that we will get cases at the border," she said."That's why it's important to keep things under control [at the border]."Asked if she thought the Government had made the right decision to move back to alert level 1 when it did, she said that was the right decision.Members of the public queue for the Covid-19 testing station on St Lukes Road on Monday. Photo / Greg BowkerThe symptomsAs the number of confirmed active cases reached 10 yesterday, people were once again reminded to remember the Covid-19 symptoms and to get tested.The symptoms are very much like those connected to the common cold or flu: A cough, a high temperature (38C), shortness of breath, a sore throat and a temporary loss of smell are all listed as signs for Covid-19.Anyone with a runny nose or is sneezing regularly should also know that those are also symptoms for the virus.Health authorities have continued to tell the public that symptoms can take up two 14 days to show after someone has already become infected."The virus can be passed onto others before they know they have it - from up to two days before symptoms develop," the Ministry of Health website says.What to do if you have even o...

Whiteness, as an idea and as an identity, is not as fixed as many people believe. Over the centuries, Western societies have defined and redefined it. But always, it has served to delineate who gets access to rights and privileges, and who doesn't. In this episode, we meet an Italian American family as they reflect on a time when they weren't yet white in America, and consider how that changed. And we explore the role white identity politics have always played in American elections. We hear from: - Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America - Nell Irvin Painter, author of The History of White People  - Joshua Freeman, Distinguished Professor of History at CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies and author of Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World - Fred Gardaphe, Distinguished Professor of Italian American Studies at Queens College Hosted by Kai Wright.

Until the 1920’s, a diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence. The invention of insulin changed that, and – not incidentally – saved his life. It also made him value the social stability needed to produce it. A conversation with this professor of history at Queens College, author of Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World.

First: ‘Tis the season for giving and sharing… and holiday shopping. Whether it’s toys, clothes, books, or electronics, chances are that most of these items were manufactured in factories. Joshua Freeman walks us through the history of factories, and how they continue to shape our modern world. Next: Do you ever find yourself flipping through photo albums and feeling nostalgic for old times? Well, according to Krystine Batcho, longing for the past can shape how we think about the present. And in some case, it can be beneficial. Finally: In the era of fake news and sensationalist media, public trust in local and national news outlets is waning. But libraries are increasingly coming to the rescue and in the process are steadily reshaping the face of journalism.

Giant factories are at the centre of Joshua Freeman's history of mass production. From the textile mills in England that powered the Industrial Revolution to the car plants of 20th century America and today's colossal sweat shops in Asia, Freeman tells Amol Rajan how factories have reflected both the hopes and fears of social change. The poems in Jane Commane's collection, Assembly Line, are set in a Midlands where ghosts haunt the deserted factory floor and the landscape is littered with 'heartsick towns'. The architecture critic Rowan Moore looks at the changing landscape of work in the 21st century, from huge impersonal distribution centres to the pleasure palaces of tech giants. The economist Mariana Mazzucato is calling for a reform of capitalism, to replace taking with making. She argues that the global economy has become a parasitic system in which value-extraction is more highly rewarded than value-creation. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Henry Ford didn’t just bring standardization to his plants. He also wanted to standardize his workers. Joshua Freeman walks us through the history of the factory. Doesn’t everyone seem so self-involved nowadays? Well, maybe, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think. Turns out, being a perfectionist might just make your work less perfect.

Look around you: at your computer, your phone, your water bottle, or the books on your desk. Chances are, all of these things were made in a factory. Factories fuel the modern world. And they’ve shaped our society - from politics, to work, to leisure. Joshua Freeman, author of Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World, walks us through the history of the factory, and how it still impacts our daily lives.

Joshua Freeman, ASHPThe Graduate Center, CUNYFebruary 26, 2018Joshua Freeman, professor of history at CUNY Graduate Center and Queens College and Steven Greenhouse, former labor reporter for the New York Times, discuss Freeman's recent book,  Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World. From the origins of factories in the 1720s England through the current state of mega-factories like Foxconn, the conversation covers the rise and fall of factories across the world and the societal consequences that came with each transition.  This conversation took place on February 26, 2018, at the CUNY Graduate Center sponsored by the Ph.D. Program in History and the Advanced Research Collaborative. 

We often hear that we live in a post industrial world. Yet all of those consumer goods we and the rest of the world love so much, are made in factories. Factories that, at the dawn of the industrial revolution, did not always represent the best of working conditions. Today, out of nostalgia, we romanticize them and long for the “big shoulders” of the industrial heartland. Today things are still produced in factories. However, they are increasingly either located offshore, or are more and more manned by robots. Auto workers from the 50s and 60s would be shocked walking through the factory that turns out Teslas. Yet in the minds of many, these factories represented something more than just places to make things. They were a symbol of another time and place. But one that we can still learn from, even in the digital age. Few know more about his, than my guest Joshua Freeman the author of Behemoth: A History of the Factory and the Making of the Modern World. My conversation with Joshua Freeman:
