Sritama Chatterjee talks about a model of literary criticism that she developed in the process of writing her new essay on shipbreaking in Bangladesh. It is a form of materialist understanding for texts, places, and geographies together, taking into account particular signifiers of a place and looking at correspondent literary responses. Sritama is a literary and cultural theorist of the Indian Ocean World, in the Literature program at the Dietrich School of Arts and sciences, University of Pittsburgh. Her dissertation project titled, “Ordinary Environments and Aesthetics in Contemporary Indian Ocean Archipelagic Writing” has been awarded an Andrew Mellon Pre-Doctoral Fellowship from her graduate school for outstanding research and scholarly excellence. Her work on the Indian Ocean archipelagos also takes the shape of a collaborative public-facing, community project Delta Lives, which platforms communities in Sundarbans telling their stories. As part of her commitment to rethinking environmental humanities pedagogy, she has edited a cluster on “Water Pedagogies: From the Academy and Beyond” published by NICHE Canada which brings together a set of eleven articles from scholars and activists reflecting on water pedagogy.

Canada is on the world stage, and the future of the global cannabis industry relies on us getting legalisations right. Barinder Rasode and Julie Domingo host this weeks Session and discuss what is needed to create a better future for new and old business in the developing cannabis industry.Legalisation is, by all accounts, a step forward, yet it has produced a number of unintended consequences. The stifling of information for consumers, the exclusion of craft brands and restrictions on patients accessing their trusted sources legally, are just some of the issues that have arisen.Both women have strong track records in pioneering education systems in the cannabis industry and have also had a hand in building successful companies that cater to the developing industry.Julie Domingo is one half of Cannareps, the leading cannabis education service, educating front line workers on the science of the cannabis plant. She brings to the table an uncanny ability to create engaging pathways and experiences to educate cannabis industry workers and enthusiasts with the cannareps sommelier course.Barinder Rasode, is the founder of NICHE Canada and Co Founder of Grow Tech Labs, a cannabis focused incubator, with a mandate to support women and Indigenous led companies to launch their businesses. In addition, Grow Tech is working to develop a Co-op for operational craft brands, which aims to bring those who have serviced the community for years into the legal landscape.

Do you know what methods inform cannabis policy? Or who is making these decisions? How the factors which guide the regulation around distribution, price, access and education? These are just some of the questions highlighted in this weeks episode with Dr Jenna Valleriani, drug policy reform expert, cannabis advocate and recently appointed CEO of NICHE Canada, and Sarah Hanlon, popular media personality, cannabis advocate and winner of Big Brother Canada.Join them as they discuss the evolving distribution framework for legal cannabis in Ontario, alongside the impact of poor accessibility for medical patients, lack of education for consumers, and the contentious issue of what constitutes ‘public health’ when it comes to regulating the legal cannabis.Sessions is sponsored by Sonoma Seeds, premium cannabis seeds from around the world that help you grow organically and Hemper the number one subscription box for cannabis accessories.If you want to know more about this Sessions hosts you can find them via the below links.Jenna Valleriani via her twitter handle @jennav5Sarah Hanlon via her twitter handle @flatshanlonSessions, by Her(B) Life is a production of Blue Dream media.Produced by Tiyana Matliovski and Executive Producer, Gill Polard.

One of the more common symptoms for people with Parkinson’s is trouble sleeping. Some of us can’t get to sleep, some can’t stay asleep, while others are awaken by tremors, painful dystonia cramping or realistic nightmares.  I can’t stay asleep.  My sleeping journal is more of an awakening journal. One day it reads “up at 3a,” the next “up at 1a,” followed by “up at 3a, up at 3:30a, and up at 4:20a.”  I’ve tried Melatonin, Magnesium Glycinate, light therapy, aromatherapy, silence, music, meditation, reading, more levodopa, later bedtimes, earlier bedtimes and the list goes on. Sleep is important for everyone. When you don’t get enough sleep you are less productive, less attentive, less present, less creative, less active, less everything it seems except tired. WebMD suggests it also puts you at “greater risk for depression, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and death.” I know you’re not supposed to believe everything you read on the internet, but it’s WebMD. Right? I’m also told by researchers that sleep is the time your brain needs to redistribute chemicals into all of its nooks and crannies and for your mind and body to assimilate after each day’s journey. (Both points seem especially relevant when you have a degenerative brain disease which is triggered by the lack of production of the brain chemical dopamine.) One of my doctors suggested if I don’t get regular REM sleep, I am increasing my risk of a mental meltdown. Needless to say, sleep is an issue that I must address.  My neurologist suggested Mirtazapine, an antidepressant that is also apparently a good sedative. It also causes an increased appetite and weight gain. Neither of which I need right now. I suggested an alternative. As Canada legalizes Cannabis, I asked, “What about CBD Oil?” For transparency, I’m not a pot smoker. I have before, I inhaled, and I liked it well enough. But, I never smoked weed regularly and have not recently.  My neurologist didn’t discourage me and suggested it wouldn’t hurt to try, but it is trial and error. I did some homework. In discussions with users and by reading about CBD Oil, there are a few things I learned.  Cannabis is hit and miss. Some in the Parkinson’s community swear by it and others who’ve tried it never found it to be effective. I’ve heard from several sources it’s a 50/50 proposition. There is no prescription. How much to take, when to take it and how to take it are up to you to discover and debate. It’s fairly intimidating. Some days I feel like I couldn’t make ramen without the instructions on the package. I brought this up to Barinder Rasode, the founder of the National Institute for Cannabis Health and Education. She agreed with me, “I share your frustration about no knowing how much or what type of Cannabis to take.” She had to do trial and error when figuring out her own regiment of CBD oil for her sleeping issues. Rasode is bullish on cannabis as it relates to treating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, “It reduces both the tremors and some researchers think it actually saves the neurons from further damage caused by Parkinson’s.” She admits those findings are anecdotal at this point, but is hopeful for more scientific trials in the wake of legalization.   The truth is there has been little research on Cannabis and Parkinson’s. So, not much is actually known. However, one trusted medical professional shared with me that while it is very likely CBD oil will make me drowsy, it is less likely to support and promote a regular sleep cycle.  What the heck. I’ll give it a try. Let the adventures into the world of Cannabis begin. Sweet dreams? I hope. We asked our partners at PARKINSON CANADA for their official POSITION on cannabis… “To-date, it has not been conclusively demonstrated by science based evaluation that marijuana can directly benefit people with Parkinson’s disease. There is a need for larger, controlled studies to better understand the efficacy of medical use of marijuana for Parkinson’s. If you are considering medical use of marijuana for Parkinson’s, we recommend you consult with your health care professional to carefully weigh potential risks and/or benefits for your individual situation. We will continue to monitor the topic of marijuana for medical purposes and will update our resources as new information becomes available.” Parkinson Canada offers this resource for people with Parkinson’s who have sleep issues http://www.parkinson.ca/wp-content/uploads/Parkinsons-disease-and-Sleep-issues.pdf  Follow me, Larry Gifford  Twitter: @ParkinsonsPod Facebook: Facebook.com/ParkinsonsPod Instagram: @parkinsonspod Follow Co-host and Producer Niki Reitmeyer Twitter: @Niki_Reitmayer Thank you to my wife Rebecca Gifford and our son Henry.
