Jessica Nunan serves as the Co-CEO of Caminar Latino — Latinos United for Peace and Equity, a national social change organization that addresses domestic violence at the individual, community and systematic level.  Jessica has been involved with Caminar Latino for the past 28 years, of which she spent 11 as a volunteer in the youth program. Her mother, Dr. Julia Perilla, was a cofounder of Caminar Latino, and a classmate of Ann's at Georgia State. In this episode, Jessica Nunan shares how Caminar Latino helped to reshaped the approach to serving victims and their families of domestic violence.  It all started when Sister Barbara Harringtion asked Julia if she would help lead a support group for women in the local Hispanic community.  Julia said yes and the journey began. Soon the women asked for help for their children, then eventually their husbands. From the beginning, Caminar Latino was determined to listen to the community they served.   At that time, the typical solution was separation from the violent partner which meant the dissolution of the family. This was not acceptable for the women served by the program. In this episode, Jessica relates the pushback from local and national organizations about the way they have provided care to the families they served. Caminar Latino – Latinos United for Peace and Equity is a national trailblazer that carries out its mission by creating safe spaces for each family member to begin their journey towards non-violence and by centering the Latino experience into social change efforts nationally that will transform the social conditions that give rise to violence. Caminar Latino operates in Atlanta and it is Georgia's first and only comprehensive domestic violence intervention program for Latino families. Latinos United for Peace and Equity, Caminar Latino's national counterpart, engages in public policy, systems change, and research at the intersection of gender-based violence and Latino identity. In addition, LUPE offers capacity building, training, and technical assistance to other nonprofit organizations, advocates in the field, government agencies, and businesses.Find out more about Caminar Latino here.

Prof. Nunan takes us from Soviet occupation of Afghanistan to rise of Taliban and their lack of governing experience. Where do the Taliban come from? And how is their version of Islam different than say... Iran's? Saudi Arabia? Or Turkey's? And why is it that most Taliban don't speak English (or French for that matter), but the US-backed Afghan government's technocrats did? In addition to their strict interpretation of Islam, the Taliban are different from the Afghan government they defeated in their ethnicity, language and regional affiliations. The two most striking characteristics of the Taliban are their close ties with Pakistan and their rural origins, both of which sets them apart from the urban residents of Kabul - the Afghanistan that we Americans often saw on TV. Describing the Taliban of the 1990s, Professor Timothy Nunan highlights an intriguing point - that it's hard to call the Taliban a state, because, in their first run of Afghanistan, they pretty much outsourced most of the administrative matters of the country. And this leads to Professor Nunan's interest in Afghanistan's major theme - that it's a country that for decades has depended on foreign aid to survive! Although the following is a small point in the great tragedy of Afghanistan's fall to the Taliban, it's important to note that the Taliban are not interested, at least not yet, in exporting their way of government or their Islamic ethos. As Professor Nunan tells it, they are perfectly happy remaining within the bounds and boundaries of Afghanistan. In this podcast episode, Professor Nunan describes the long history of communism's interest in partnering with the forces of Islam and recruiting Muslims. This background provides a segue to the USSR's occupation of Afghanistan, during which more than one million Afghans died.

In this episode, Dr. Nunen explores the nuances of the Soviet Union's relationship with Islam throughout its lifetime, both inside and outside of its borders, before diving into the varied strategies of Soviet nation building efforts within Afghanistan as well as this ever important Central Asian country's experience in the Cold War overall. With Afghanistan spanning news headlines, this episode is an outstanding introduction to the experiences that shaped Afghanistan's modern history. We hope you enjoy!!

Leo co-hosted KPFK's Dj Potira's Brazil Show and the Annual Brazilian Carnaval Party, headlined Long Beach Price twice, and created and performed a Samba-Opera musical which brought together Afro-Brazilian dance-expression at Highways Performance Center. In 2019, he released the song “Banze”, a social-political statement denouncing the Brazilian Government for destroying the Amazon Rainforest. Leopold invited Amazon Xingu tribe leader, Anuia Amaru, to appear in the video.

Die Zeit in den 1960er Jahren wird immer wieder als "Goldenes Zeitalter" Afghanistans bezeichnet. So gibt es beispielsweise eine Annäherung an den westlichen Parlamentarismus. Doch ist der Begriff wirklich berechtigt? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge, auch als Vorbereitung auf die nächste in der wir uns die Zeit anschauen in der die Sowjetunion in Afghanistan war.

Find more about our teacher training courses Watch as well as listen on our YouTube channel Ross Thorburn: Hi, everyone. Welcome back to "TEFL Training Institute" podcast. I'm Ross Thorburn and this week we're talking about authentic texts. It's a topic I've wanted to talk about for a long time.I can remember, even as a first year teacher, printing off news articles and bringing them to the classroom and, much more recently, using textbooks made for American primary schools with students, young learners, here in China.Obviously there's huge advantages to using authentic texts. You get all this real language which has been unfiltered and it's real and it's natural, and hopefully the texts can be very motivating for students.There's also lot of downsides as well to using authentic texts. It can be very difficult to understand. Sometimes I think they can be really off‑putting for students, if you get presented with something that's real and you can't understand any of it.I think as a student that can be a really demotivating experience. So, to help us with this topic today, we have David Nunan. David is, I think it's not an exaggeration to say, one of the most influential people in our field in the last 40 years. David, as well as writing numerous academic books for teachers and researchers, he's also author of the bestselling coursebook series "Go for It!" and David is currently based in Hong Kong.Enjoy the interview.Ross: David, thank you very much for joining us. To start off with, would you like to tell us a bit about your experiences of using authentic materials as a teacher?David Nunan: Yeah. I'm a dinosaur. I trained in the '60s, early '70s, and was trained in the audio‑lingual methods. "This is a pencil. Pen. This is a pen. Idiot. You're an idiot."Ross: [laughs]David: The funny thing was, in the mid '70s coming to the UK to do a couple of higher degrees including one in language teaching...Prior to that, the language institute I was working at at the university in Sydney with a number of highly enthusiastic teachers who were bored out of their brains with all this audio‑lingual stuff, we started doing things.I developed a listening course by actually lugging this reel‑to‑reel tape recorder out and interviewing native speakers, then using that as a resource in the classroom. One of my other co‑teachers, Jane Lockwood, she used to work with Mario Rinvolucri at Pilgrim School in the UK. Of course she had got all of the Mario, she had the Mario virus. She was great, she was great on using drama techniques and so on.We were kind of inventing communicative language teaching without actually knowing what we were doing. [laughs] In those days, the label was only just starting to come into currency. But using authentic materials and using simulations and getting the learners to do stuff out of the classroom and all those other things.Ross: I can image, David, quite a few listeners are going to be doing a Google Image search for a reel‑to‑reel tape recorder after that.Let's talk a bit more about this notion of authenticity, then. There's obviously this idea of authenticity in terms of the language. How real it is, is it something recorded specifically for a language class? Like your example earlier, something from a real conversation or from a TV show or radio show or maybe even a news article, something like that.The other bit of the puzzle there, I guess, is what you get students to do with that. If the idea of task authenticity, so our learners, for example, listening to something and then giving an opinion and discussing it, or using it to solve some kind of problem or maybe they are doing something more focused on the language like read this passage and then circle the verb.Suppose there are different possibilities there combining either authentic or inauthentic text with authentic or inauthentic tasks. Can you tell us a little bit more about those? What are the advantages and disadvantages there?David: Yeah. Well, the minute you take a piece of authentic language into the classroom you deal with authenticating it, in a sense.The authenticity of the input, the reading and the written‑spoken text that they're exposed to, but then there's the notion of task authenticity. I've seen teachers take ‑‑ no, I'm not necessarily criticizing it ‑‑ but I'll get a piece of authentic listening material. Then I'll get the student doing a close activity and listen to this weather forecast [inaudible 4:35] .The other aspect is learner authentication. You can have an authentic piece of listening material and you can have an authentic task. For example, listen, your teacher has left a message on your phone about an excursion you're going to tomorrow. She gives the information right, make a note of the essential information like where to meet, what to bring, what to wear, and so on.When you see the [inaudible 5:01] in the classroom doing that kind of thing, it does resemble something they might actually do in the world outside the classroom. That's not to say what I call pedagogical tasks are not reasonable to do in the classroom.A lot of the techniques that got developed quite a few years ago things like jigsaw listening or spot the difference where learners have got two different versions of the picture and they have to describe the picture, and then figure out where the differences are.I don't know about you, I've never seen anybody outside of the classroom [laughs] saying. We'll guess what the differences are in my picture. It's pedagogically defensible. It's good for practicing particularly with lower level learners. It's good news. It's quite easy to create picture challenges that get them practicing things like prepositions of place.That's a typical one where you've got a beach scene or a picture of a...although that's good for activities. He's running, she's sleeping, he's swimming, practicing prepositions in place [inaudible 6:00] . We have two versions of somebody's bedroom, and with dining room and you have to exchange information to decide where things are.Ross: Going back to authentic texts then, there are a lot of reasons why those might be too difficult for students to understand. I think a lot of teachers assume that in order to simplify text, you probably want to make it shorter and take out some of the more difficult words. But that's not always the case.Taking out words or taking out difficult words can end up making a text more difficult rather than more simple.David: Craig Shodron and his colleague Catherine Parker years ago, did a study where they were looking at simplified texts versus what they called elaborative modification or some fancy term on that. What that meant was that if you're using a listening text, might be a lecture or it could be a conversation, rather than dumbing it down.More or less keep it to the original, authentic picture, you add in a lot of redundancy. In other words, you say the same thing. I'm doing it now. Right? You add in a lot of [inaudible 7:16] . In other words, you say the same thing using slightly different words and you do comprehension checks and you know what I mean? You know what I mean Ross?[laughter]Ross: Yes, I do understand. That redundancy idea is really nice, isn't it? Because you just demonstrated, it's also very natural as well. Something I think that happens quite a lot in spoken conversation anyway.Let's talk about written texts for a moment. You are also [laughs] a very successful coursebook writer, David. How do you go about using texts when you write coursebooks?I guess there's two schools of thought on this. One of them is decide on the language that you want to teach and then create texts around those words or grammar points or whatever, or the other end of the spectrum is finding authentic texts and then teaching from those.David: What I've tried to do is to get texts that are engaging for the learners at a given level. For example, when I wrote the textbook for middle school to junior high kids who go for it, it was originally written for Latin America, but then the Ministry of Education in China decided that they wanted to adapt that one for use in schools in China.I actually took a sabbatical for about 10 months. I just spent the whole time running back and forth to Beijing. Working with a team up there. Because it was co‑published deal with PP. As you probably know, you can't fit if you're writing for the schools in China. They have to be co‑published and so PP with the co‑publishers.Anyway, so step number one was to find texts that would be engaging, Interesting, given subject matter, and so on for the kinds of learners that we were running the material for. Then make sure I was building in the appropriate vocabulary because when the text goes up for approval by the Ministry, they'll look through and I have long lists of pages and pages of vocabulary.A lot of those vocab lists really don't make any sense. At one stage, I pointed it out.Ross: Sorry, David. Those lists, are those coming from an exam board. Is that right?David: From the Ministry of Education in China, yeah. There were very interesting conversations. Another project I was working on, I had this graded vocab list, and that had to be built in, and I pointed out that, for a start, there were certain vocab items that I wouldn't even know. I'm Australian. I wouldn't teach kids in that situation. Like, kangaroo was on the list, but computer wasn't. [laughs]I know with corpus linguistics, that they have corporate now, that they don't have a lot more integrity, but a lot of them, the West's General Service List, that was written in about 1951, that was the most comprehensive fun.A lot of the vocab lists that subsequently got developed came from that. Paul Nation's obviously the last word on that and, as Paul points out, it's not just frequency of the occurrence, but it's also what equals, I think, potency, how potent a particular vocab item is for learning.Ross: So I suppose that sort of demonstrates the value of using authentic texts as the sort of building blocks of your coursebook, then you don't have those problems of inauthentic language. Authentic texts, I guess, almost by definition, are going to include more of the most frequent vocabulary in them and then that more frequent vocabulary, I guess, is going to be more useful to students?David: Yeah. But you also get a lot of low frequency words. One of the books that I used, when it came out years ago in the UK, was Michael Swan and Catherine Walter's "Cambridge English Course" and, particularly in the higher levels, they actually used authentic listening materials. I remember one of them.There was one lesson, I was prepping for, it must have been an interview, because they were working with CUP, it must have been an interview with somebody who worked in the CUP office.You know, "OK. You're employed, so you've got to come and sit down and be interviewed."This was pretty well‑unexpurgated. I was listening to it and whoever was interviewing said, "So, what do you do?" and the guy said, "I'm a printus reader." Well, what? I had a look at the tapescript. He was a printer's reader. He was a proofreader basically, for the publisher. [laughs]Extremely low frequency vocab item, and at normal speed, and I thought, "This is going to freak my kids out." So I actually gave them the vocab.Ross: I guess, there, David, you just hit on that authentic text can be really, really challenging for learners. Do you have any advice on how to use authentic text with, especially, very low level learners? How would you go about doing that?David: One of the techniques that I use is this progressively structured listening, where first, the low level learners...one of the big challenges getting them over the...you know how it completely freaks you out. When I first came here to Hong Kong, 25 years ago, when I decided to try and start learning Cantonese by myself, without taking regular classes or anything.It was just like this stream. I couldn't segment the stream of language in any way that made sense for a long time. Until I enlisted the help of some of my native‑speaking colleagues and so on. One of the techniques I used to use was to say, I'm going to play you five little forte conversations. Three of them are in English and two of them are not.You have to just listen and all you have to do is to be able to pick which ones are English, then of course, if the distractors are Hindi and Arabic, that's a lot easier to do than if the distractors are German or Dutch. I remember the first time I ever went to Amsterdam. I thought I could swear, sounded so English [laughs] but it wasn't.When they can do that, they realized that they can get some level of me even just identifying which conversations are English in which are and then maybe the next level, you might get them to identify how many speakers there are.Again, if there are three males or three females, that's how to do if there is a male or female and adult and a kid, then you get the missing four key words, you get them identifying whether the conversation is asking for directions to a hotel or asking directions to supermarket.As they start to get more relaxed then they're prepared to get the message. When you're listening to your first language, you don't listen to every big word. It depends on purpose for listening as well then you get the idea about listening just for gist or listening for specific information.Once they've listened to it, a text four or five times and they've done different things with the text through to some kind of information transfer, filling in a table or whatever, or the example I gave earlier about taking down key information from a mobile phone message, then they start to develop good listening skills in the target language.Ross: One more time, everyone that was David Nunan.

With UTMB race announcement planned for the 20th May I thought it would be a great idea to unpack each of the top four races that are currently scheduled for the last week of Aug, PTL, UTMB, TDS & CCC   There was no one more suited to this job than Ireland's very own Richard Nunan, who has crossed the finish line in PTL, UTMB & TDS , throw Tour de Geant into the equation and we have the perfect candidate.   There is a significant DNF rate in these races last year seen PTL (23% DNF) UTMB (39%DNF) TDS (395DNF) CCC (26% DNF) TDG (60%) so its remarkable that Richard managed to cross the finish line in each race.   In this episode which will be released today 9th May we lean on Richard's experience to gain an insight into each race, including kit break down, course profile, fuel and training, Richard is also the race director for the Maurice Mullin Ultra and has a strong back ground with good times in all distances along with a lot of success in the adventure racing scene that stands by him during these longer more challenging alpine races.

Embracing everything this human experience throws at us can be tough going, especially when New Age Spirituality is telling us 'happiness' is just one more affirmation away! What if you could create the space to feel everything, the entire spectrum of emotions without judgement, blame and criticism? How would that change your relationship to yourself, and others? Best selling author and Consciousness Queen Holly Nunan talks to us about arriving in wholeness. She breaks down the myths of controlling our minds and feelings that block us expressing the true essence of ourselves and publicly declares war on labelling 'negative' or 'positive' emotions.

Columbia Sportswear athlete, Richard Nunan, is one of Ireland's top endurance athletes. He has completed the Wicklow Round, competed at the Adventure Racing World Championships and is a regular on the Irish mountain running scene.  On 27 August, Columbia Sportswear athlete Richard Nunan and his teammates, Thure Fuhrmann and Zoran Škrba, embarked on one of the toughest foot races in Europe. The Petite Trotte à Léon, or the PTL, as it is more commonly known, is an epic 300km running race around Mont Blanc that takes on a whopping 28,000 metres of climbing. Teams of two or three have to complete the course – which is entirely self-navigated – in under 151 hours, hitting strict cut-off times along the way. Only 300 people take part in this race every year, all of whom have serious mountaineering credentials. Sleep deprivation, changing weather conditions, near impossible navigation and gruelling terrain all add to the challenge. Richard tells us all about this epic race and how he juggles his passion for competing in multi-day endurance events with fatherhood, marriage and a full-time job to boot!

G'day everyone welcome back... Its been a little while and for our first one back from the break we welcomed Matt Nunan back into the refinery.  It's another epic one as they always seem to be with Matt and a lot of fun.  We cover dancing, addictive personalities and just a little lucid dreaming and multidimensional just for fun...  It's good to be back and we hope you are well, enjoy.

G'day everyone welcome back... Happy Birthday to us... We are officially 1 year old today.  In this weeks episode we welcome back Matt Nunan to dig back into his story.  Which we did, sort of... Some of topics we talked about include God, Channeling, Healing, Living in the Abstract and the Quest for Self just to name a few... This is a long one however I know it's most definitely one of our best. Enjoy and thanks for your support through the year, onwards we go...

G'day everyone welcome back, this is something new for you all.  We sit down to interview a Vegan, Bodybuilding, Meditating, Dirty Dancer...  It was an epic conversation which criss crossed so many topics and I don't think we covered a tenth of what we could have...  At the end of the night we decided to keep doing them until we run out of things to talk about which will be never.  I don't want to give too much away so sit down plug in and enjoy this one...

The plight of Afghanistan remains as relevant a question as ever in 2016. Just what did the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and the international occupation of this country accomplish? Will an Afghan government ever exercise effective control over its territory and build a modern, prosperous integrated nation-state? How will Afghanistan evolve in light of the Taliban's enduring strength and the rise of groups like the Islamic State? What role can regional powers like Pakistan and China play in the future of this nation? Timothy Nunan (Harvard Academy Scholar for International and Area Studies) offers news ways to think about these questions in his book Humanitarian Invasion: Global Development in Cold War Afghanistan (Cambridge University Press, 2016). Unlike many existing works, Nunan does not limit his analysis to how Afghanistan became an important aspect of great power politics or Cold War rivalries. Instead, he offers a fascinating history of how ideas about international development and humanitarianism played out in this nation from the beginning of the Cold War to the start of the Taliban's rule. Drawing on wide array of archival research and oral interviews conducted in multiple languages, Nunan describes how Americans, Soviets, and Europeans failed to “modernize” Afghanistan in ways that made sense to them. He also explains how events in Afghanistan help elucidate larger changes in the fields of international development and humanitarianism. As the failure to produce a modernized “third-world state” became more obvious, NGOs such asMedecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) and the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan deployed new ideas about humanitarianism to justify their interventions in Afghanistan on the behalf of helpless victims.While Nunan deserves credit for exploring the motivations and assumptions of foreign actors, he also never loses sight of how Afghanistan's complex history shaped events on the ground. In particular, he excels at describing how the idea of Afghanistan as a Pashtun nation-state influenced the way actors conceived of development and humanitarian intervention. Timely and well-written, Humanitarian Intervention stands out as a thought-provoking international history that elucidates the difficulties involved in building a “modern” nation. It also raises important questions about just how much the “humanitarian interventions” of NGOs can accomplish in a world where the existence of “failed states” often results in mass killing and violence.

Greg Nunan wrote this Profitable Partnerships BlogPost and it was exactly where I have been over the past couple of months.  My Partners and I are doing a Joint Venture on two separate Software Tools. We will be closing on them soon. We are buying businesses together. You know why it is a profitable partnership? Because we are both great at different things! It is already amazing. I know we are going to knock it out of the park.   Anyway, Greg runs NoHatDigital.com. It is a great site that focuses on "Entrepreneurship without the Bullshit/Phooey." Make sure to visit them on the web! You will love me for it.   --SamT

Sunny Nunan was working a corporate job where she was undervalued and saw a need that wasn't getting fulfilled.  She had the opportunity to either push the idea with her company and hope they put her in charge of it.  Or she could jump on her own and run with it, even though she had no experience as an entrepreneur.   In a quick decision, she did the later, and five years later, hasn't looked back.  Her business Core 24 is thriving, and ready to expand throughout Texas, and eventually the nation.  Sunny stopped by to share some her story and some of her secrets of success.

The High School for Independent Learning of Albany and Piedmont California addresses the learning requirements of those students where a typical learning environment has not been successful. This school seeks to enable these students to be successful and enjoy learning, perhaps for the first time in their lives. The student body also includes youth who have work or practice requirements that preclude going to regular school. We talk with Shary Nunan, the Co-Director of the school, who tells us how the school got its start and how the needs of its students are addressed. Teaching a less traveled way.

Carl Schmitt (1888-1985) was the author of numerous influential books and essays on political theory, law, and other subjects. In Carl Schmitt: Writings on War (Polity Press, 2011), Rhodes Scholar Timothy Nunan has provided us with an excellent translation of three of Schmitt’s essay on military affairs. These essays are relevant from a variety of perspectives. They reflect interwar debates about international law, neutrality, and the League of Nations and so are of interest to historians of the period. Schmitt was also a fervent supporter of Hitler and the Nazi party and so it may be surprising that his influence (note his longevity) may in some ways be increasing. His ideas about what constitutes an empire, his thoughts on “just war,” and on war crimes demand our attention despite our revulsion at his political views. For making more of Schmitt’s work accessible to an English-speaking audience, Nunan is to be thanked. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
