This event was the launch of Dr Sana Murrani's latest book 'Rupturing Architecture: Spatial Practices of Refuge in Response to War and Violence in Iraq, 2003–2023' published by Bloomsbury. Written by an Iraqi architect who has lived through the trauma of several wars, 10 years of UN-imposed sanctions, an invasion, and the subsequent violence, this book captures a broad spectrum of spatial responses to trauma and presents a fresh perspective on how ordinary Iraqis create refuge across the spaces of the home, the urban environment, and border geographies. In the face of spatial wounding and the many injustices suffered by the Iraqi people, there has also been a wealth of refuge-making practices that showcase their creative and imaginative design and adaptability to change and trauma over time. Rupturing Architecture employs methods such as creative deep mapping, memory work, storytelling, interviews, and case studies of architectural responses to the geographies of war and violence. At the core of the book are the lived and felt experiences of fifteen Iraqis from across Iraq, whose resilience underscores a broader narrative of spatial justice and feminist spatial practices. Meet the speakers Sana Murrani is an Associate Professor in Spatial Practice at the University of Plymouth and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Middle East Centre. Her research interests are rooted in spatial justice, drawing on her interdisciplinary background in architecture, urban design, and art and media.

Well, today has been an absolutely insane time and I don't even know where to start to construct and discuss this Chainsaw Friday craziness so let's look at tonight's Cork & Kerry tour stop and Angi giving birth to a new show member. First things first, Cork & Kerry tonight, there will be two pairs of Metallica tickets and a chainsaw. That's right, someone in legal decided it would be okay to let these two dingdongs wander drunkenly around the bar with a chainsaw. Here's the thing though, this was meant to be a prop chainsaw to celebrate Chainsaw Friday but that was not enough for Angi. No, she put her foot down as the host of this trainwreck show and wanted to give away the chainsaw. It was meant to be given away at the next tour stop but because she runs the asylum, she is going to buy another one and give the one they are bringing with them tonight away. So if you see someone wandering around The Loop with a chainsaw tonight, congratulate our winner and pray they aren't a serial killer. Speaking of people we hope aren't killers, also at Cork & Kerry tonight will be the newest member of the Angi Taylor Show. See, when the ratings are incredible like ours are, the big bosses allow for the morning zoo to expand a little by opening purse strings that are normally tighter than Marris' ass. Gone are the days of a pizza party for ratings, we are getting a third chair in the studio. His name is Michael Mason, he just moved to Chicago this week from Denver and he is a Cubs fan, which means Angi is alone on epic loser White Sox island. While the roadies will get a chance to meet Michael (and his wife) at Cork & Kerry tonight, he officially begins the show on Monday. The "8 foot tall, tatted up social media sweetheart," deserves an absolutely amazing Chicago Welcome (which is a little different than a San Diego Thank You.) Since he is new to town and we on this show are notorious pranksters (see: a-hole's,) we're going to have a little fun next week with a round of wrong answers only places in Chicago Michael needs to go visit. That's right, barely stepping foot in the studio and Angi is already looking for ways to make this guy regret being here. Either way, if you're going out tonight go say hi to our new boy or if you're going to be busy doing one of the 800 things there are to do this weekend in the city, tune in on Monday morning to meet him properly.
This webinar was a launch of 'Industrial Policy in Turkey: Rise, Retreat and Return' by William Hale, Mustafa Kutlay and Mina Toksoz published by Edinburgh University Press. At a time when many advanced and emerging economies are adopting more active industrial policies, this book provides an in-depth historical–empirical account of industrial policy in Turkey – its rise, retreat and return. This study adopts a multidisciplinary approach and covers the role of the state in Turkey's initial industrialisation to the current period of restructuring and potential technological upgrading of its manufacturing base. The analysis traces how industrial policy has been shaped by state capacity, the waves of reforms following economic crises, the dearth of long-term finance for industrialisation and, more recently, the need to address issues such as low-tech industrial structure and pre-mature de-industrialisation. The book aims to answer questions of what worked and what went wrong with previous policies. It asks how current policies could be shaped to overcome the problems of cronyism and corruption, and also achieve new objectives of technological upgrading and socio-environmental sustainability. William Hale is an Emeritus Professor at SOAS, having retired as Professor of Politics with Special Reference to Turkey in 2006. His main interests are the modern politics and international relations of Turkey. Mustafa Kutlay is a senior lecturer in the Department of International Politics at City, University of London. His current research focuses on the comparative politics and political economy of developing countries (with particular reference to Turkey, Turkish politics and foreign policy), institutions and development in the global South, and political risk analysis. Mina Toksoz is an International Economist having worked at the Economist Intelligence Unit variously as Editorial Director of the Middle East, Europe, and the Country Risk Service. Arda Bilgen is a Research Officer at the LSE Middle East Centre, where he works on the PeaceRep project ‘Surface Water Changes in the Euphrates-Tigris Basin since 1984 and their Governance Implications for Iraq', led by Dr Michael Mason. His work mainly focuses on water politics, transboundary water resources management, and hydraulic infrastructure development.

Michael Mason is a fitness and survival expert who is 60 years old and is in better shape than most people hope to achieve in their 20s. Through dedication, discipline, and good training, he's managed to optimize his health with a carnivore diet and teaches others how to do the same thing. Fitness & real estate have a lot in common: If you want to be fit & muscular, you have to want it bad enough and work towards your goals every day, in and out of the gym. If you want to achieve financial freedom through real estate, you have to want it bad enough and have to be proactive enough to get a good deal. Focus less on thinking about accomplishing your goals and focus more on taking the required steps to get where you want to be!

This event launched 'Dismantling Green Colonialism: Energy and Climate Justice in the Arab Region' edited by Hamza Hamouchene and Katie Sandwell, published by Pluto Press. The Arab region is a focus of world politics, with authoritarian regimes, significant fossil fuel reserves and histories of colonialism and imperialism. It is also the site of potentially immense green energy resources. The writers in this collection explore a region ripe for energy transition, but held back by resource-grabbing and (neo)colonial agendas. They show the importance of fighting for a just energy transition and climate justice - exposing policies and practices that protect global and local political elites, multinational corporations and military regimes. Covering a wide range of countries from Morocco, Western Sahara, Algeria and Tunisia to Egypt, Sudan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Palestine, this book challenges Eurocentrism and highlights instead a class-conscious approach to climate justice that is necessary for our survival.

Things are a-changing; Pfizer director admitted when asked by Rob Roos, member of the European Parliament, that the vax was never tested for stopping transmission (and it doesn't.) The narrative is interestingly and excitedly unraveling. Still don't understand why smart people have gone along with it but then you see people driving alone in their car wearing a mask...wow science and health class just didn't cut it...Today I am so happy to have Dr Michael Mason-Wood to teach us about plant medicine and men's health naturally. His website is renewedvigour.com. (He is in Canada so don't forget the "u".Here is his bio:"I grew up in Mayo, Yukon, a First Nations community. I was taught to value the planet we live on and this is where my passion for environmental medicine, plant medicine and gardening was initially birthed. Prior to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, I started my mining career as a placer (gold) miner on Duncan Creek, Yukon. After getting a geology diploma from NAIT, I worked for a few companies exploring the wilds of the Yukon and Alaska, even working for a short time in the south pacific country of Vanuatu. My love for botanical medicine lead me to get a degree in Biological Science from Simon Fraser University, not knowing that naturopathic medicine was a real thing. Since becoming a father, I have become even more passionate about the environment. I want to ensure that there is a planet for my grandchildren to thrive in which is why I completed advanced specialty training in Environmental Medicine and Autism. One of the missing links in Western medicine is connecting the rising rates of infertility to the increase in chemicals we are exposed too. I like to use the garden analogy since I am a gardener. If you want to be healthy, you have to take care of the body (ie soil) and give it the right nutrients as well as environment (sun, water) in order to grow an amazing crop. I truly believe that we need to be proactive about our health using functional (i.e., Naturopathic, integrative) medicine to prevent many different diseases."Support the show

He was a Senior Vice President and Chief Security Officer for Verizon, a veteran, and one of the highest-ranking special agents in the FBI (who happen to be black) before retiring and becoming a school bus driver. The bridge was easy to cross if you are a true servant leader. His name is Michael Mason. We know him well. He was one of the most captivating speakers at our Great Conversation events before the pandemic. But he also sat in the front row taking notes as others spoke before and after him. To get in his head and his heart, I decided to have a great conversation with him coinciding with the publication of his new book: Working in America - Spectator or Gladiator...You Decide The book is designed for those who want to navigate the “white water rapids of the American workplace” with courage, discipline, kindness, and strength. Seizing the day requires you to get in the game, because the “world owes you nothing”, as Mike's father once told him. I hope you enjoy this lively conversation. It is like reading a good book animated by a voice that is clear and engaging.

This event was the launch of Leïla Vignal's latest book 'War-Torn: The Unmaking of Syria, 2011–2021' published by Hurst. In order to consider the future of Syria, it is crucial to assess not only what has been destroyed, but also how it was destroyed. It is equally vital to address the structural and possibly enduring results of large-scale destruction and displacement. These dynamics are not only at play in Syrian society, but are tearing at the economic fabric and very territorial integrity of the country. If war is a powerful process of human and material destruction, it is equally a powerful process of spatial, social and economic reconfiguration. Nor does it stop at national borders—the unravelling of Syria, and of the idea of Syria, has affected and will continue to affect the entire Middle East. War-Torn explores these transformations and the processes that fuel them. The book throws light on neglected aspects of the Syrian war, and contributes towards understanding conflicts in the twenty-first century. Leïla Vignal is Professor of Geography at the École normale supérieure, Paris, and the editor of The Transnational Middle East: People, Places, Borders. Specialised in cities, globalisation and transnational dynamics in the Middle East, since 2011 she has studied the transformations of Syria and of its society through the war. Deen Sharp is an LSE Fellow in Human Geography at the Department of Geography and Environment, LSE. He is an urban geographer whose research focuses on the political economy of urbanization in the “Middle East”. He is the co-editor of Beyond the Square: Urbanism and the Arab Uprisings (Urban Research: 2016) and Open Gaza (University in Cairo Press: In Print). He is currently working on a edited volume on the spatial dynamics of the conflict in Syria with Nasser Rabbat, provisionally entitled, Reconstruction as Violence: The case of Syria. Michael Mason is Director of the Middle East Centre. He is also Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Environment and Associate of the Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment. His research interests encompass environmental politics and governance, notably issues of accountability, transparency and security.

In August of 1920, just 9 months before the infamous Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, the class divisions in Tulsa were starting to reach a fever pitch. After the end of World War 1, the streets of Tulsa were awash in oil money and the wealthy and powerful of the day were hellbent on retaining their power over the day laborers that worked in the fields. One way they did that was to declare a “war on crime” in the city that specifically targeted at vagrants and the unemployed. On the same day the 1920 “war on crime” was announced, a cab driver name Homer Nida was brutally assaulted and left for dead. The media firestorm that followed whipped the city into a frenzy and a young man named Roy Belton was arrested for the crime. After a series of suspicious events, Belton was hastily given over by the police to a large and angry mob and publicly lynched for his crime. Our guest today is Randy Hopkins, a lawyer, and historian who has written a series of stories for The Chronicles of Oklahoma and the Center for Public Secrets. Hopkins discusses his account of the Bleton lynching from his recent article “Racing to the Precipice: Tulsa'a Last Lynching” Our host is Michael Mason. This podcast is presented by the Center for Public Secrets, a non-profit sub-cultural institution dedicated to uncovering the hidden and neglected history of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and beyond. To learn more, visit our website at www.centerforpublicsecrets.org. This episode was produced, mixed, and edited by Scott Bell. Our executive producers are Whitney Chapman and Stuart Hetherwood. The podcast art was made by Well-Told. Our host is Michael Mason. Thanks for listening.
While the Tulsa Race Massacre has grown to occupy a prominent position in the history of America's struggle with race, the event itself was preceded by smaller, lesser-known events that set the stage for the Massacre of 1921. In 1917, as America became directly involved in World War One, Oklahoma Governor Robert Lee Williams appointed 5 people from Tulsa's most elite circles to the newly formed Tulsa Council of Defense. With the Oklahoma National Guard deployed to fight in the War, the Council took it upon themselves to create a new militia group in their place called the Tulsa Home Guard, a sort of private police force for the wealthy and powerful of the day. In October of that year, the home of oil executive J. Edgar Pew was bombed. The blast was seized upon as an excuse to promote war hysteria. Immediately, the Tulsa Daily World reported that members of the International Workers of the World, or Wobblies, were behind the bombing and that they were enacting vast and sinister conspiracy. The Wobblies were a self-proclaimed socialist labor union that was the enemy of many powerful businessmen. This was their chance to get rid of the Wobblies once and for all. The brutal outburst that followed has come to be known as the Tulsa Outrage and is now seen as the birth of the modern Ku Klux Klan in Oklahoma. Our guest today is Randy Hopkins. Hopkins is a lawyer and historian who has written a series of stories for The Chronicles of Oklahoma and the Center for Public Secrets, including a complete account of the Tulsa Outrage in his article “Birthday of the Klan: The Tulsa Outrage of 1917.” Our host is Michael Mason.
In the aftermath of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, there were numerous accounts of the bodies of victims being hastily buried in mass graves at sites across Tulsa. Nearly 100 years later, the search for mass graves began at Oaklawn Cemetery. In 2019, Tulsa mayor G.T. Bynum made a commitment to investigate the presence of mass graves at Oaklawn in an effort to provide closure and justice for the victims and descendants ahead of the Massacre Centennial. But what transpired was filled with controversy, and many feel that the promises made were misleading. As part of the investigation, a group of activists, descendants, and historians formed the Mass Graves Public Oversight Committee in order to balance the actions of the government with the voice of the people most deeply affected by the tragedy. Our guests today are Chief Amusan and Kavin Ross of the Mass Graves Public Oversight Committee. Chief Amusan is the founder of the Tulsa African Ancestral Society and a descendant of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Kavin Ross is a longtime activist and journalist with the Oklahoma Eagle. Our host is Michael Mason. The Center for Public Secrets exists to explore the history of Tulsa that you didn't learn in school. The articles, videos, podcasts, and exhibits that our volunteers create tell the most important stories from our past without being censored or influenced by big philanthropy.
