Podcasts about Kinship

There is a belief that we can all get what we want if we just pull up our bootstraps and go for it.  But what happens to those who simply don't have boots?  It's tough for someone to move forward if they don't have the basics.   This episode is about a business that looks at business differently…My guest for this episode is Tom Vozzo, CEO of Homeboy Industries. Tom left his career in corporate America convinced there had to be a better way to define success. In 2012, Tom became the first-ever CEO of Homeboy Industries, the largest and most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. This discussion hits on a lot of opportunities for business to think differently – for the benefit of all involved.   From letting go of judgement, to creating a space where employees feel loved and supported the experience Tom shares can apply to any organization.   Listen in as Tom shares a few of the 55 rules he believes more businesses need to break, speaks the power of asking employees what they need and why love, kinship and compassion are the key to creating a workplace where employees can thrive.

Amber has a beautiful book called A Place to Belong- Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond.  It's a wonderful guide for families looking to authentically embrace the fullness of their diverse communities.  We get to dive into several topics that I know you will love! "A Place to Belong offers a path forward for families to honor their cultural heritage and champion diversity in the context of daily family life by:1. Fostering open dialogue around discrimination, race, gender, disability, and class2. Teaching “hard history” in an age-appropriate way3. Curating a diverse selection of books and media choices in which children see themselves and people who are different4. Celebrating cultural heritage through art, music, and poetry5. Modeling activism and engaging in community service projects as a family"You can check out all that she has to offer for resources as you root your children in their own culture so that they may openly embrace and love others with their whole hearts here:  www.heritagemom.comFollow her on Instagram @heritagemomblogDon't forget to sign up for my newsletter at teamkindhumans.com

More than 85 per cent of children and young people in care in South Australia, live in family-based care. The majority of these children and young people live with family in a kinship arrangement. In SA, the recruitment and ongoing support of foster carers is undertaken by non-government organisations such as Key Assets, while kinship carers are predominantly supported by the Department for Child Protection along with three Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations. In this segment, we hear from Michael Ainsworth, State Director for Key Assets, and foster carer Julie Krawczynski, about the impact foster carers make in our state and how to become a carer. The department is committed to supporting non-government providers to continue to grow the number of foster carers available to provide safe, stable and nurturing environments for vulnerable children and young people. As at 30 June 2022, there were 1404 foster carer households and 1774 kinship carer households in SA.Foster and Kinship Carer Week, 11-17 September, provides an important opportunity to thank all carers for the incredibly crucial role they play in keeping children and young people safe and giving them a loving home in which they can grow and thrive. 

The contributors to Queer Kinship: Race, Sex, Belonging, Form (Duke UP, 2022) assert the importance of queer kinship to queer and trans theory and to kinship theory. In a contemporary moment marked by the rising tides of neoliberalism, fascism, xenophobia, and homo- and cis-nationalism, they approach kinship as both a horizon and a source of violence and possibility. The contributors challenge dominant theories of kinship that ignore the devastating impacts of chattel slavery, settler colonialism, and racialized nationalism on the bonds of Black and Indigenous people and people of color. Among other topics, they examine the “blood tie” as the legal marker of kin relations, the everyday experiences and memories of trans mothers and daughters in Istanbul, the outsourcing of reproductive labor in postcolonial India, kinship as a model of governance beyond the liberal state, and the intergenerational effects of the adoption of Indigenous children as a technology of settler colonialism. Queer Kinship pushes the methodological and theoretical underpinnings of queer theory forward while opening up new paths for studying kinship. Tyler Bradway is Associate Professor of English at the State University of New York, Cortland, and author of Queer Experimental Literature: The Affective Politics of Bad Reading. Elizabeth Freeman is Professor of English at the University of California, Davis, and author of Beside You in Time: Sense Methods and Queer Sociabilities in the American Nineteenth Century, and other books also published by Duke University Press.

His research interests include applied anthropology, organizational and institutional cultures, evolutionary theory and cultural patterning, and popular culture and identity. In this episode, we talk about the evolution of altruism. We start by talking about the most prominent evolutionary theories of human cooperation. We discuss how we can study intentional communities as a source of data about the evolution of cooperation. We get into altruistic punishment, kinship, fictive kinship, kin recognition, kin cues, and how they relate to the success of institutions. We discuss explanations for extreme altruism, like religious celibacy. Finally, we talk about the problem of cultural particularism in anthropology. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

As jurisdictions place a higher emphasis on placing children and youth in relative or familiar settings, some are expanding and advancing the support provided to kinship caregivers. The podcast series, Advances in Supporting Kinship Caregivers, comprises episodes featuring the advances created and implemented by child welfare agencies and their partners to strengthen kinship families and meet the unique needs faced by these caregivers. Part 3 focuses on the unique successes experienced within the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, located inside Washington State. The Tribe's flexible use of funding and its prevention-focused approach has resulted in a nearly 70-percent reduction in the number of children in care. Their success is built upon strong, trusting relationships forged between tribal members. The examples shared in this episode demonstrate the power of being able to tailor supports and services to the specific needs and culture of the families being served.

In this episode I discuss some of the ways we have abandoned OUR Children over the years as a result of multiple issues both by choice and force. However, we must begin to understand that WE did not bring these institutions and systems into fruition. Therefore, we must be mindful of how we are participating in and perpetuating these VERY DESTRUCTIVE behaviors, processes, and systems. OUR Lineages are suffering a Great Deal, some of which have been ELIMINATED. We face Total Domination and Elimination when we FAIL to take note of the Life we are living and the World we are leaving behind. - [ ] Adopted Broken Babies: What Is Adoption? | Adoption.org What is adoption? Adoption is the establishment of a legally recognized, lifelong relationship between adoptive parents and the adoptee(s) in question. Adoption is a permanent choice for birth parents. Adoption can occur in varying ways. A person can adopt their stepchild or relative. There are international adoptions where a couple adopts an orphan from another country. A person may also wish to adopt from foster care. This is where a child's parents have voluntarily, or involuntarily relinquished parental rights and the child is in need of a permanent home. The last type of adoption is domestic infant adoption. This is when a person or couple adopts a baby in the U.S. This can be for any number of reasons. - [ ] Foster Care/Family Care: Foster Care is a system in which a minor has been placed into a ward, group home (residential childcare community, treatment center, etc.), or private home of a state-certified caregiver, referred to as a "foster parent" or with a family member approved by the state. The placement of the child is normally arranged through the government or a social service agency. The institution, group home, or foster parent is compensated for expenses unless with a family member. In some states, relative or "Kinship" caregivers of children who are wards of the state are provided with a financial stipend. Started by some white dude named Charles Loring Brace. "In the mid 19th Century, some 30,000 homeless or neglected children lived in the New York City streets and slums. He also started the “Orphan Train Movement” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_care - [ ] Aborted Broken Babies: Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. [nb 1] An abortion that occurs without intervention is known as a miscarriage or "spontaneous abortion"; these occur in approximately 30% to 40% of pregnancies. Abortion is a common “health intervention”. It is safe when carried out using a method recommended by WHO, appropriate to the pregnancy duration and by someone with the necessary skills. Around 73 million induced abortions take place worldwide each year. Six out of 10 (61%) of all unintended pregnancies, and 3 out of 10 (29%) of all pregnancies, end in induced abortion - [ ] Surrogate Broken Babies: Surrogacy is a medically assisted family creation method that can be a last resort for those who have been unsuccessful in having a baby. Surrogacy allows a woman to carry and give birth to the intended parents' baby. Surrogacy is a process where a woman agrees to become impregnated by another person or couple to have children for that person or couple, who is incapable of naturally having children of their own for whatever reason. #IWantToSeeMoreAFRICANBabiesBorn #itsreallycrazytome #makeitmakesense #thinkaboutit #rawunfiltered #CoreFoundationalBelief #AncestralConnection #Lineage #Legacy #Purpose #itsallconnected #LifeasIUnderstandIt #ThisIsMe #Connected #ProblemPussies #DamagedDicks #BrokenBabies #NoMoreGHETTO #BreakingGenerationalCurses #LineageLegacyPurpose #TheTotalPackagePodcast --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ttpp33/message

For many, 2020 was the worst.  Chelsea Woody, a neuroscience nurse who moonlights as a Vans surf ambassador, is clear that it was “the worst year of her life.” After getting COVID from work, and subsequently  experiencing  a painful loss, — while  witnessing the suffering of so many through the pandemic -  Chelsea wished (for the first time) that she'd chosen a different profession.Parallel to the suffering both personal and all around her, Chelsea's surfing career blossomed: she made the film Sea Us Now, and expanded the organisation she helped found, Textured Waves, interjecting the presence and prowess of black and brown female surfers into surf circles, and far beyond. The Textured Waves crew has since partnered with big brands like Adobe, Adidas, and were featured on a billboard in Times Square for a big bank. Through her own surfing as an African American woman, and via her filmmaking and writings, Chelsea is creating fresh narratives that are rippling around the globe. Listen in as Chelsea shares about learning to surf later in life, the colonial roots of hair straightening, and finding her limits during her first season on the North Shore.  Chelsea's latest film Night Crawler, handles the topic of surfing as otherworldly escape from shift work. ….We reference sociologist Jean Kilbourne's pioneering media/advertising study Killing Us Softly in this episode.

There's a certain a kind of visual encounter that can be life changing: A cross-species gaze. The experience of looking directly into the eyes of an animal in the wild, and seeing it look back. It happens more often than you'd think and it can be so profound, there's a name for it: eye-to-eye epiphany. So what happens when someone with feathers or fur and claws looks back? How does it change people, and what can it teach us? Human identity cannot be separated from our nonhuman kin. From forest ecology to the human microbiome, emerging research suggests that being human is a complicated journey made possible only by the good graces of our many companions. In partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature and with support from the Kalliopeia Foundation, To The Best Of Our Knowledge is exploring this theme of "kinship" in a special radio series.

We talk with Ryan Hanlon, with National Council for Adoption, about the largest survey of adoptive parents ever conducted. We talk about who adoptive parents are, the needs of the kids adopted, and so much more. In the episode, we cover:Who is adopting in the US? How are they similar and how do they differ from the general population of parents in relation to income and education level?What are the primary motivations for parents to adopt? Does it differ based on domestic infant adoption, international adoption, and foster care adoption?What type of special needs or diagnoses do adopted children have?How well are adoptive parents meeting these needs?How are adopted kids doing in school?What degree of openness or contact with birth families is common for infant adoption, intercountry adoption, and adoptions from foster care?How do adoptive parents view their relationship with birth families?How common are attachment issues in adoption and what factors contribute to attachment problems?How are parents meeting the needs of transracially adopted children?How satisfied are adoptive parents with the decision to adopt?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Let's not glorify people for how they look., published by Florence on August 11, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I find it physically uncomfortable; I get a shiver down my spine and a lump in my throat when I hear people idolize how others look. It conjures up memories of the old days at University when the men (realistically, they were acting like boys) would huddle together in a room and drink a crate of beers. Only males were allowed, and they would spend the day at a yearly “bachelor party.” They weren't celebrating anyone in particular; they were just celebrating the essence of being a lad, not talking about your emotions, and ranking the females in the hall. As a female, I never attended, and I don't know the full details of the day, but it never sounded like something that would elicit FOMO in me. I do know they went through the entire ~100 girls in the hall and ranked them on hotness. I personally would like to be evaluated as a complete human being for the actions, thoughts, and vibe that I bring. I think the least important factor about a person should be their looks because it is something one generally can't change. You might be nodding along in agreement that clearly, this seems like a bad thing, but what's my point? Where am I heading with this? Recently, within the EA community, I've had a few shivers down my spine and lumps in my throat. I've heard many high-status males in EA being described as “hot” and “sooo attractive.” Jokes on Twitter about “I only joined EA because of how hot {X person} is,” I've heard people mention they could “put a poster of {EA Person} on my bedroom wall.” I know that mostly these are jokes, but it still provides the same discomfort I get when I notice idolization.Note: I excluded specific names from the article as I didn't want to draw any more unwanted attention to specific people in the community. Here are the many reasons I object to this idolization of “leaders” & glorification of people for how they look. The Halo effect - if you like someone (perhaps just because they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye), you are more likely to be agreeable to them. A classic example would be you have a big crush on someone, so you just say yes, blush and smile. I am not saying we should be going in the other direction and bullying people that we like (also not ok). Vanity Bias - assuming that because someone looks good and appeasing that they would also be a good person - this is incredibly biased and not representative. An example of this (with a very small sample size of only ~64 people) is a study of mock interviews, where attractive people were more likely to be hired than less attractive individuals. [1] Another study showed that attractiveness can also influence judgments about the seriousness of crimes committed, depending on the crime itself [2]. Mere-exposure effect - we tend to develop a preference for things that are familiar to us, also known as the familiarity principle. If people look similar, we are more likely to prefer them, again decreasing the amount of diversity in the group. Cues of Kinship - if you look similar to someone, you are likely to act prosocially towards them, as you are likely to share genes and have common descendants. It seems important to be cognisant of this bias so we can do our best to avoid it. As this could create a very undiverse space within the EA community, and I think there is plenty of reasons why a diverse community is important. [4, 5] Physical attractiveness has important social consequences, and I think it's better to point them out rather than leave them unspoken! Diversity - diverse opinions are crucial to highly performing structures and decision-making. When you have racially diverse groups of people, people have more rigorous decision-making methods. Also, related to th...

For an estimated 32,000 homeless youth, and 22,000 foster youth aging out of the system every year, struggling to support themselves, college is often a distant idea. Due to increased school mobility, histories of trauma and abuse, and lack of adequate support and services to succeed in school, many of these youth lack the academic foundation to apply and be admitted to a two- or four-year college or university. For others, attaining the required documentation to verify their independent status to receive federal funding is difficult. These youth are united, however, in the struggle to attain accessible resources and information to make college a viable option.

Dr. Christopher Krentz is an Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, where he has a joint appointment with the departments of English and American Sign Language. He is also the author of Writing Deafness: The Hearing Line in Nineteenth-Century American Literature and editor of A Mighty Change: An Anthology of Deaf American Writing, 1816–1864, as well as numerous articles about disability in literature and culture. He is currently director of the University of Virginia's Disability Studies Initiative and helped found their American Sign Language Program. Characters with disabilities are often overlooked in fiction, but many occupy central places in literature by celebrated authors like Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie, J. M. Coetzee, Anita Desai, Jhumpa Lahiri, Edwidge Danticat, and others. These authors deploy disability to do important cultural work, writes Christopher Krentz in his innovative study, Elusive Kinship: Disability and Human Rights in Postcolonial Literature (Temple UP, 2022). Such representations not only relate to the millions of disabled people in the Global South, but also make more vivid such issues as the effects of colonialism, global capitalism, racism and sexism, war, and environmental disaster. Krentz is the first to put the fields of postcolonial studies, studies of human rights and literature, and literary disability in conversation with each other in a book-length study. He enhances our appreciation of key texts of Anglophone postcolonial literature of the Global South, including Things Fall Apart and Midnight's Children. In addition, he uncovers the myriad ways fiction gains energy, vitality, and metaphoric force from characters with extraordinary bodies or minds. Depicting injustices faced by characters with disabilities is vital to raising awareness and achieving human rights. Elusive Kinship nudges us toward a fuller understanding of disability worldwide.

Hypnotheratist and long-time guest on Mantz & Mitchell Lauren Archer returns to this Friday's edition of Mantz & Mitchell. Gary and Suzanne have a discussion with Lauren about consciousness and kinship.

“Your life is evidence of your efficacy” As a long time men's work practitioner, Anthropologist, Culture Development expert, and entrepreneur, Philip Folsom holds rare, potent insights into what makes an initiated man. Philip's deep appreciation and studies into masculinity from the mythopoetic lens has given him ultra clear methodology for men to follow. Listen in for his sobering takes, including how to find perspective in the Hero's Journey, why ownership is the mark of an upstanding man, and how community is central to the initiatory experience.   Highlights: [03:30] Why men are defined by what they do and the ownership they take. [07:45] How young men can remind themselves that the hero's journey is LONG and WINDING. [14:42] Is patriarchy inherently bad? How Philip's studies of anthropology informed his views. [20:22] Are humans naturally war-like? Is there a solution? [23:39] What are rites of passage and initiation? What's the importance? [27:30] How an understanding of short term pleasure vs long term impact is everything in manhood. [31:52] Why there is no initiation without community. [37:31] How sacrificing short term convenience for service shows leadership. [41:23] Why healing must precede initiation. [45:52] What is spiritual bypass and how do men abuse this? [50:45] Why there's no avoiding discomfort.   Connect with Philip Folsom: K4 Men's Group || Guiding principles informed by traditional, mythopoetic authors and leaders.

This episode focuses on Washington State's approach to providing kinship support services. The conversation describes how the State's kinship support is operated by the State's Aging and Long-Term Support Administration and provides some of its services through a one-time stipend to help new kinship families meet basic needs. This episode also spends time discussing providing kinship navigator services in the Yakima and Tri-Cities region of central Washington, a rural, Latinx community. Topics discussed include the following: • Differences in formal and informal kinship caregivers and the differences caseworkers may have to navigate when working with each • Cultural considerations caseworkers and others should be aware of when working with rural, Latinx communities and families • The importance of building relationships across a community, not just with kinship families • Implementation of one-time stipends for kinship families in Washington State

In this conversation with Jennifer Natalya Fink, we explore the nuances of her fascinating new book, All Our Families: Disability Lineage and the Future of Kinship. The premise of Jennifer's book is that disability is often described as a tragedy, a crisis, or an aberration, even though more than 1 in 5 people worldwide have a disability. She wanted to explore the question: Why is this common human experience rendered exceptional? Instead, Jennifer is advocating for a reclamation of disability as a history, a culture, and an identity. She is pushing for a world where families see disability in the context of a collective sense of belonging, as cause for celebration, and is a call for a radical reimagining of carework and kinship. We went deep into this idea of a disability lineage, and Jennifer shared what's at stake if we don't know and claim our family history. We also discussed why getting a disability diagnosis can be traumatic for families and how it's accentuated by how our society thinks about disability. Lastly, Jennifer shared her thoughts on making the care system more equitable by embracing disability as a collective experience rather than something individual families have to deal with. ***Jennifer Natalya Fink is director of the Program in Disability Studies and a professor of English at Georgetown University. She is the author of 6 books and founder of the Gorilla Press, a nonprofit promoting youth literacy through bookmaking. Fink is the winner of the Dana Award for the Novel and the Catherine Doctorow Prize for Innovative Fiction, as well as a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. First and foremost, she is a mother; the transformative experience of parenting her autistic daughter is the center of her work. Things you'll learn from this episodeHow Jennifer's own family story led her to be interested in researching disability and disability lineageWhat a disability lineage isWhy getting a disability diagnosis can be traumatic for families and how it's accentuated by our society's views of disabilityThe importance of understanding that care and disability are woven into the human experienceWhat we are losing out on by not knowing our family disability history as families raising differently wired kidsHow even good-intentioned comments can feed ableist beliefsHow we can work to make the care system more equitable, including seeing disability as a collective experience rather than something families must face on an individual basis Resources mentioned for Disability Lineage — What It Is and How it Impacts FamiliesAll Our Families: Disability Lineage and the Future of KinshipJennifer Natayla Fink's websiteJennifer on InstagramDisability Studies at Georgetown UniversityMia MingusFor more info, visit: https://www.tiltparenting.com/session297Support the show

Creating Family Culture :: Amber O'Neal Johnston [SOM Wk 4] You are creating a culture for your family, right now, whether or not you're aware of it or intentional in it. Your words and actions reveal the functional values you have for your family. Is yours a culture of fun and laughter? Grace and second chances? Integrity and grit? It could be all of those and more, or something simpler - it is unique to your family! Whatever it is, if it isn't intentionally cultivated it will be like a garden filled with weeds - growing, but haphazard. My guest this week is Amber O'Neal Johnston and one of the values that drives her family's culture is that her kids would know they are seen and valued at home and in the world. And that other people are just as valuable too.  This, along with other values, drives the decisions they make about how they interact with the world around them, right down to the restaurants they eat at.  She challenges us to not only cultivate a family culture, but to grow as moms and people along the way. Her book, A Place to Belong: Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond is available now. We're taking time this summer (as usual) to be mentored by some experienced moms and benefit from their wisdom. I'm asking them about their “mom brands” and the unique families and assignments God has given them to help us embrace the specific and unique spot God has given each of us.  Discussion Questions: What stood out to you from this episode?  What practices or resources have you used to expose your kids to other cultures?  Where has God called you to speak out in love when you'd prefer to remain silent? Spend time praying with your group for these circumstances. What is one value that you want to emphasize in your home?  Amber shared that she had to release her need to impress other moms in order for her kids to flourish - what expectation or ideal do you need to let go of so that your kids can flourish? How would being secure and confident in your family culture change your relationships with other moms or families?  Connect with Amber Johnston:  Website:  https://heritagemom.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HeritageMomBlog  Instagram:  @heritagemomblog Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/HeritageMomBlog/_created/  Links Mentioned:   A Place to Belong: Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond by Amber O'Neal Johnston  Things To Do List from the Heritage Mom Website Related Episodes: Finding Yourself in Motherhood :: Amber O'Neal Johnston [Ep 310] Featured Sponsors:  Athena Club.
