Gender is, of course, one of the most contentious ethical and political topics you can find at the moment. There are numerous practical and policy debates - for example those relating to medicine, prisons and sport - which can seem completely intractable, and which provoke the strongest possible opinions on all sides.Sitting behind these practical questions, however, is a cluster of theoretical questions, which can be summarised as questions about what gender actually is. Graham Bex-Priestley, a Lecturer at the IDEA Centre, has a novel approach to these questions. He suggests that we should think of someone's gender as being something like their name. In this interview, he explains why.Graham's article on this topic is here:Bex-Priestley, Graham. “Gender as Name.” Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy 23, no. 2 (November 2022): 189–213.And here are some articles defending the other views mentioned in the conversation:Biological view: Byrne, Alex. “Are Women Adult Human Females?” Philosophical Studies 177, no. 12 (December 2020): 3783–803.Family resemblance view: Heyes, Cressida.

On this Memorial Day, we are proud to introduce the newest limited series from the Institute for Religion, Media, and Civic Engagement and Axis Mundi Media. Miss Information is a podcast about how conspiracies and misinformation infiltrate wellness communities and religious spaces. Subscribe here: https://redcircle.com/shows/21b4b512-ceef-4289-b9fc-76f302f5bd22/episodes/3532f1b2-5f15-4302-82f6-8a281d676871 Misinformation is big news, but what does it mean and why does it matter? If misinformation is simply incorrect information, can it be solved simply by telling people the right answer? In this episode, we learn how misinformation can prevent people from voting if they think they aren't eligible or can't vote by mail; how misinformation can convince people to take certain drugs to cure a disease even if it's not proven to be safe; and the ways misinformation can draw people into conspiracies like QAnon. But it's not as simple as dispelling all misinformation from our midst. That seems impossible. Rather, in dialogue with Dr. David Robertson from the Open University, what we will discover points to a different question: Why do people believe misinformation at all and what does it do for them? In other words, instead of focusing on what people believe, perhaps the phenomenon of misinformation directs us to ask what beliefs do - who they favor, who they put in power, who they marginalize, and who they leave vulnerable. And by understanding the mechanics, maybe we can mitigate the damage misinformation does to our public square.

Men's facial hair is very prone to fashions: moustaches and beards are back in, but why is that and what sparks bread trends and facial hair fashions? To help him find out, Tony has invited ‘beard' historian Alun Withey and male grooming influencer Robin James | Man For Himself. They discuss 17th Century notions of facial hair as a waste product; through barber-surgeons and early shaving practices; powdered wigs; the Victorian beard movement; King Camp Gillett's safely razor; the First World War military moustache; film star fashion icons to the rising popularity of men's hair products and male grooming.Hosted by Sir Tony RobinsonX | InstagramWithRobin James | Man For Himselfwww.ManForHimself.com and IG @ManForHimself Exploring men's hair, grooming, fragrance and lifestyle.Dr Alun Withey | Historianhttp://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/history/staff/withey/ Historian of early modern medicine and senior lecturer in History at the University of Exeter.

Joined by my good friend Paul, we discuss the ethics of magick and the integration of ethics into magical practice, exploring: a somewhat unethical hexing; retaliation, its justifications and alternatives; proportionality; the lack of an ethical framework in chaos magick; the impossibility of an absence of ethics; ethical integrationism versus technical eclecticism; the postmodernist suspicion of morality; accusations of morality; codes of ethics versus ethical frameworks; the discomfort of autonomous ethical reasoning; the problem of post-hoc justifications; the role of interpretation in understanding actions and intentions; abdication of judgement as a strategy for avoiding ethical responsibility; the inescapability of judgment; the principle of minimising harm; the identity of intention and action in magick; the perils of action at a distance; the example of the sunflower as a sigil for victory for Ukraine; distance and disproportionality; the occult community and the question of who should retaliate when retaliation is justified; the ethics of restraint and non-involvement; avoidance of harm versus taking risks to achieve benefits; the risks and potential benefits of magick; an example in mindfulness-based therapy; when things get worse before they get better; the inevitability of harm in magick; the Faustian bargain; the potential for cultivating compassion; how ethics has begun to shape our magical practice; the uncertainty in balancing gain against harm; the deficiencies of "an it harm none"; how ethical thinking beforehand can make magick more effective; an example of a working for a situation involving allegations of misconduct and racism; the problems of a binding ritual in this context; Mirkachank, our servitor for turning a perpetrator's actions back against them; the surprising outcomes from using this servitor; the problems of intervening from outside a situation; how certain types of personalities are unlikely to benefit from confrontation with their own actions; ethical discomfort as an important signal; our conclusions and the outcome from the working; the principle of parsimony of intervention; Daoist non-action as ethical rather than mystical; the principle of not being an arsehole; the simpler the working the more effective it might be; the fundamental simplicity of ethics; a developmental arc towards simplicity; the simpler and more ethical our magical practice, the perhaps the more it integrates with daily life; the subtle and long-term effects of magical practice.

In The Business of Beauty: Gender and the Body in Modern London (Bloomsbury, 2020), historian Jessica Clark takes the reader on a tour through the shifting commercial and cultural landscape of London in the second half of the 19th Century and the early decades of the 20th. The business of beatification––aimed at both men and women, and conducted by both men and women––was influenced by and reflective of shifting attitudes towards women in public spaces, the influx and success of immigrants in the nation's capital, the development of wholesale production processes and the standardization of commodities, and the cultural competition between European nations that accompanied the growing political and military competition at the fin de siècle, among other things. In other words, Jessica Clark shows us that The Business of Beauty intersects with an amazing array of historical subjects.

The transgender issue is everywhere. Hardly a day goes by without some new transgender related story in the news, whether it's former men competing in women's sports, somebody being fired for daring to suggest that biology really matters, or hospitals replacing words like "mother" and "breast-feeding" with gender neutral alternatives. For all the talk of LGBT, it seems that "T" is rapidly eating up every other letter of the alphabet. This episode of Pod of the Gaps wades into this hugely contested territory and tries to shed some light. What is driving the transgender agenda in culture? What are some of the bigger questions that aren't often asked? What should Christians think of transgender — and how should we respond to those caught up in the movement with both honesty and grace, truth and love? Join Andy Bannister (self-identifies as a tea drinker), Michael Ots (self-identifies as a baker), and Aaron Edwards (self-identifies as a lover of long theological words) as they explore this important issue with their usual mix of wit, wisdom, and insight. ============ We mentioned several important books in the episode.

In this episode we brace ourselves, take a deep breath, and consider magick and spirituality as an antidote to suffering, but not without their risks and limits; a bullshit exercise from Robert Anton Wilson; the limits of belief-shifting; dubious "exercises" in books on magick; the belief in belief-shifting; reality and belief-shifting; results from a recent sigil; possibilities for their causation; magick as adaptation to reality; the limitation of reality; the inescapability of feelings; the influence of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) on the contemporary understanding of suffering; Aaron Beck on depression as faulty cognition; the locus of responsibility for suffering; belief-shifting as a form of CBT; how work with spirits can also fall into this dynamic; how CBT and belief-shifting chime nicely with capitalism and neoliberalism; Byung-Chul Han on self-exploitation under neoliberalism; Mark Fisher on the dirty secrets of capitalism; how neoliberalism distracts us from these; magick and the lure of pseudo-freedom; Federico Campagna on the paradigms of technic and magick: instrumentality versus meaning; psychogeography as the practice of transitioning from technic to magick; Gareth Rees on car parks and the ubiquity of sliced ham; the limits of technic and capitalism; the insatiability of desire and the inevitability of suffering; a means to an end versus the endlessly meaningful; bringing meaning to suffering; magick as a means of encountering reality; Campagna on magick and technic as two contrasting ethical frameworks; avoiding harm versus maximising salvation; magicians as always caught between these two ethical outlooks; magickal crises and the pains of magick; the magick of the oppressed; Trump's presidency and its end as a magickal result; anti-magick as the elimination of the Other; depression as the absence of the Other, and magick as a reaching out for the Other; Han on the Other as a metaphysical anti-depressant; meaning as connection with the Other; mysticism as recognition of the self as Other; magick as a spectrum, including forms of magick that tend towards technic.

The main role of organized anti-slavery during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was to both legitimate and reinforce deeply rooted hierarchies which saw European states and their peoples position themselves at the moral and racial apex of ‘civilization'. Centuries of death and destruction associated with Transatlantic slavery firmly dispatched to the past, despite their continuing and catastrophic effects, thereby enabling Europeans to be reborn as abolitionists rather than enslavers. The foundational premise of organized anti-slavery – no one should be enslaved – would come to be primarily understood in terms of paternalistic ‘protection', with ‘civilized' Europeans justifying unprovoked wars of colonial conquest as ‘humanitarian' missions to prevent ‘savage' and ‘backward' peoples in other parts of the globe from enslaving each other. Appeals to moral and religious enlightenment (the ‘civilising mission') and altruistic sacrifice (the ‘white man's burden') proved to be hugely important. By treating their non-European subjects as ‘backward children', who were said to be unable to make decisions for themselves, Europeans were able to both justify and excuse any number of external actions and interventions. Tragically, these actions included countless examples of death, exploitation, extraction, violence and abuse, which exposed the fundamental hollowness of European pretentions towards moral superiority. Slavery would be banished symbolically via legal abolition while many of its defining features continued alongside everyday forms of violence and exploitation. In case after case, governments who congratulated themselves on abolishing slavery would continue to justify and defend numerous acts of violence and coercion directed against ‘inferiors' and ‘outsiders'.

Africa is a country (essential starting point for African politics and history) Questions for Discussion Colonialism was primarily driven by economic and political interests, yet was frequently justified and defended using appeals to a ‘higher purpose'. What does the close relationship between anti-slavery and European colonialism say about the politics and prospects of humanitarianism and altruism more broadly? What are the defining features of paternalism as both an ideology and practice? How do these defining features pave the way for systems of violence and coercion? What does the history of legal reforms targeting enslavement say about the limits and possibilities of legal solutions to complex problems? What should we make of the introduction of various laws which were designed to reconstitute and extend core features of enslavement after slavery had been legally abolished? How does the history of slavery and abolition in the late ninetieth and early twentieth century influence how we think about slave resistance, both individual and collective? Where and how do models of hierarchy and ‘supremacy' which were dominant during the age of high imperialism continue to have effects upon politics and society today?

In 1955 Ian Fleming's third James Bond novel Moonraker was published. Tyler and Don embark on a thorough analysis of the book. In a series of three podcasts they go through the adventure chapter by chapter, providing as much background information as they could gather. This is Part 3 and covers chapters 18 - 25 of the book. Gala Brand figures out Drax's scheme: he wants to plunge the Moonraker, armed with a Soviet atomic bomb, like a giant hypodermic needle into the heart of England. But Gala is captured before she can raise the alarm. Will Bond find her in time? Will he be able to stop the launch? Will he crash his car, be captured and tortured after the villain monologues his entire backstory and endgame? Obviously, this podcast is filled with spoilers, so if you haven't read Moonraker yet, you've been warned! If you enjoy our podcast, please share it with others!

In a series of three podcasts they go through the adventure chapter by chapter, providing as much background information as they could gather. This is Part 2 and covers chapters 8 - 17 of the book. On Tuesday Bond is sent by M. to the launching site of the Moonraker near Dover to investigate a double killing: the security officer, Major Tallon, and a German from Drax's staff. Bond meets the creepy Krebs, the scientific Dr. Walter and the voluptuous Miss Brand. On the surface everything seems fine, but Bond's sixth sense tells him something is amiss. Why was Tallon killed?

It's Monday, and Mondays are hell. Bond is reading through boring paperwork when he's summoned by M. for a personal matter. There's this chap at his club Blades who cheats at cards. The problem is, the chap is the famous philanthropist Sir Hugo Drax, creator of the wonderful Moonraker rocket. Could Bond please confront Drax during a game of bridge and make him stop cheating?

This is the third and final part of Tyler and Don's review of Ian Fleming's second James Bond book Live And Let Die (1954). In a series of three podcasts they go through the adventure chapter by chapter, providing as much background information as they could gather. Part 3 covers chapters 16 - 23 of the book. Where parts one and two could be titled ‘New York' and ‘Florida' respectively, part three is all about Jamaica. Bond flies to Kingston, where he meets Strangways and Quarrel. Miraculously, in about a week's time, Bond gets into peak physical condition for his night-time swim to Mr. Big's island. However, this doesn't prevent 007 from being attacked by sharks and barracuda and being captured (again) by Mr. Big's men. The villain then proceeds to drag Solitaire and our hero behind his yacht towards both the deadly reef and an explosive climax.

Tyler and Don continue their thorough analysis of Ian Fleming's second James Bond book Live And Let Die (1954). In a series of three podcasts they go through the adventure chapter by chapter, providing as much background information as they could gather. This is Part 2 and covers chapters 9 - 15 of the book. After a lucky escape from Mr. Big, Bond and Leiter travel down to Florida. While Leiter flies ahead, Bond takes the train together with the beautiful and mysterious Solitaire. In Florida they are immediately seen by Mr. Big's network and all pretty much goes to hell: Solitaire is kidnapped and Leiter disagreed with something that ate him. At night, Bond retaliates with a vengeance. Obviously, this podcast is filled with spoilers, so if you haven't read Live And Let Die yet, you have been warned!

Abstract: In this first ever episode of Michael Jackson's Dream Lives On: An Academic Conversation, Karin and Elizabeth discuss Michael Jackson's 1991 Black or White short film, directed by John Landis, who was also the director of the Thriller short film. The discussion of Jackson's 'Panther Dance', also known as the 'Coda', leads into a conversation on whether or not the Black or White short film is art and whether Michael Jackson himself can really be considered an artist.
