Today I am delighted to talk with Professor Malini Johar Schueller about her new book, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading recently published by the University of California Press. We talk about the long history of anti-racist education and the attacks on it by the Right. In particular, we look at the onslaught of federal and state repression since the first Trump regime, and conservative incursions onto campuses take the form of surveillance of syllabi, classrooms, public events, and the establishing of conservative centers. We finish by talking about what Schuller calls critical race reading, a manner of presenting and discussing texts that develops an understanding of structural violence, and critical ways of engaging with literature that enables civil and political engagement. We press the point that these attacks, instrumentalizing the idea of student “discomfort,” severely underestimate students' hunger for knowledge and their ability to withstand so-called discomfort in the search for truth. Malini Johar Schueller is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Florida. She is the faculty advisor for Students for Justice in Palestine and was the advisor for Jewish Voice for Peace and is a member of the organizing collective for the United States Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. She is the author of several books including U.S. Orientalisms: Race, Nation, and Gender in Literature, 1790–1890 (1998), Locating Race: Global Sites of Post-Colonial Citizenship (2009), and Campaigns of Knowledge: U.S. Pedagogies of Colonialism and Occupation in the Philippines and Japan (2019). She has co-edited Exceptional State: Contemporary US Culture and the New Imperialism (2007) and Dangerous Professors: Academic Freedom and the National Security Campus (2009). She is the director of an award-winning documentary, In His Own Home (2015) about police brutality and campus militarization, based on an incident at UF is available on amazon prime. In 2019 she was selected to participate in a Faculty Development Seminar by the Palestinian American Research Council and traveled to the West Bank. Her latest book on activist pedagogy, Teaching Solidarity: Critical Race Reading was published by the University of California Press in April 2026. Her essays have appeared in scholarly journals as well as in popular publications such as Counterpunch, The Orlando Sentinel, and the Sarasota Herald Tribune. She teaches courses in comparative settler colonialism, including Palestine and courses in postcolonial theory, Asian American studies, and US imperialism.

Un gouvernement militaire américain s'est installé au Japon après sa défaite en 1945. Pour transformer cette société nippone, ses institutions politiques et économiques sont prises en main et une nouvelle constitution est rédigée avec d'avantage d'égalité entre les sexes et le renoncement solennel du Japon à toute idée de guerre. Apparemment la collaboration se passe plutôt bien mais la Guerre froide bouleverse les règles de cette occupation. Michael Lucken est professeur à l'Inalco et membre de l'Institut Universitaire de France. Il a publié Les Occupants - Américains au Japon après la Seconde Guerre mondiale (Editions La Découverte, 2025).
On this day, 9 August 1979, the women workers of the YH wig making company in Seoul, South Korea, occupied the headquarters of the opposition New Democratic Party in protest at the closure of their employer. The workers had gone on strike against the proposed closure, but to no avail, so they attempted to escalate their protest. However, the US-backed military dictatorship instead sent 2,000 riot police to attack the 187 women and evict the occupation. One woman, Kim Kyung Sook, was killed by police, while the union leaders were arrested and the other workers sent home by bus. While unsuccessful, the violent repression of the workers provoked mass anger, which was a major contributing factor to uprisings breaking out in Busan and Masan later that year.Learn more about this period of Korean history in our podcast series: https://workingclasshistory.com/tag/south-korea/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Since October 2023, entire industries in Gaza have been wiped out and poverty has increased. In the occupied West Bank, businesses are struggling amid settler violence and increasing restrictions on movement. After the Gaza war began, Israel suspended most work permits for Palestinians in the country. It also withheld billions of dollars in tax revenue collected on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, leaving public sector workers to receive only a fraction of their salaries. The Israeli government has also repeatedly threatened to sever the banking arrangement that connects Palestinian financial institutions to the global economy. But the war has only accelerated decades of policies that left the Palestinian economy deeply dependent on Israel. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher examines how the Palestinian economy became so intertwined with Israel's financial system – and left it vulnerable to collapse. We hear from Palestinian economist Raja Khalidi and Jalal Abukhater, policy manager at digital rights group 7amleh. We also talk to Bethlehem tour guide Kamal Mukarker about what it means for Palestinians to survive in an economy that many say is being systematically strangled.

Send us Fan MailBryce Greene, organizer, student, and writer based in Bloomington, Indiana, joins the show to discuss hasbara. Most Americans have never heard of hasbara"the Israeli governments official global propaganda and influence program"yet they are targeted by it every day. At $730 million, the 2026 budget is more than 11 times what it was in 2023. Hasbara fuses traditional PR with AI-driven digital psy-ops, coordinated social-media manipulation using chatbots"including a $145 million foreign-ministry campaign to influence AI tools like ChatGPT"paid grassroots influencers, and church-targeted initiatives that push Israeli-aligned narratives on congregants cell phones without disclosure. These tactics brainwash the public, suppress free speech, silence dissent, drive hatred of Palestinians, and manufacture the illusion of public consent for pro-Israeli policies. For many, the truth will be shocking"and that shock is overdue. Bryce is a panelist on the voicesfromtheholyland.org film salon on Sunday, August 16.
Slowly at first, then all at once, the First Order is taking over the Colossus.In our first and only triple-header of Season 1 of Resistance, we cover "Dangerous Business," “The Doza Dilemma” and "The First Order Occupation” (Episodes 13–15) so we can parse the speed of the First Order occupation. But do they want the Colossus as a toehold into the wider Republic, or as a weapons manufacturing plant?We also wonder if Captain Doza ever had a plan to combat the pirates or the First Order, and try to understand Synara through the lens of order vs. freedom.Want more Growing Up Skywalker?

When no one seems to be listening, how far do you go to be heard? In December 2008, George W. Bush made a surprise visit to Baghdad for a press conference. And at the very end of his remarks, a shoe came flying past his head. It was “the shoe heard around the world,” and countless jokes and memes ensued. But in the pandemonium, many missed the story of the man at the center: Muntadhar Al-Zaidi, a weary journalist trying to get the world to see the Iraq War in a different light. Even fewer people know what happened to him after. Nearly two decades later, Radiolab reporter Sarah Qari tracked Al-Zaidi down to learn the story of his life. What she found was a story about grief, anger, and the line where journalism ends and protest begins. Special thanks to Azmat Khan and Mustafa Salim.

On July 20th we marked 52 years since phase one of Turkey's invasion of Cyprus. For 52 years, Turkey has never been held accountable for this illegal invasion and occupation, for the division it imposed on the island, or for the lives and communities it shattered. Today, despite international condemnation, UN resolutions, and calls for negotiations, the Cyprus issue remains one of the world's longest-running unresolved challenges. While progress toward a solution has been elusive over the last five decades, reports indicate there is a new effort afoot to revive peace talks as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres prepares to visit Cyprus in the coming days. Turkey's invasion of Cyprus was also part of the discussion at the European Parliament this month, as the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the impact of Turkey's 1974 invasion on Cypriot women and girls. This is seen as an important step acknowledging Cypriot women's experiences of violence during the invasion, including sexual violence, that can hopefully open the door for survivors to speak and be heard openly and safely. The Cyprus invasion isn't just an open wound for the island, but for the Greek diaspora. 1974 was a major turning point, especially in the US, as Greek-Americans mobilized across the country, becoming politically active and advocating in Washington, DC for justice. Andrew Novo, Harris Georgiades, Natalie Alkiviadou, and Alexander Kitroeff join Thanos Davelis as we look into both phases of Turkey's invasion of Cyprus in 1974, whether we could be seeing a new push from the UN for talks, the importance of the European Parliament's resolution on the impact of Turkey's invasion on Cypriot women, and how the Cyprus invasion mobilized the Greek American community. A little more info on our guests: Andrew Novo is a professor of strategic studies at the National Defense University and adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service and Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. Harris Georgiades is Chairman of the Foreign and European Affairs Committee of Cyprus' Parliament, Chairman of the “Clerides Institute”, and a former Minister of Finance. Dr. Natalie Alkiviadou is a Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Free Speech project at Vanderbilt University.

Do you dread small talk, or are you the person who can strike up a conversation with a total stranger in the checkout line? Either way, this episode is for you. Small talk gets dismissed as fluff — empty chatter about the weather before the “real” conversation starts — but it's actually doing something important: it's the on-ramp to every deeper connection we have.Why Small Talk Isn't PointlessSmall talk is the bridge between “we've never met” and “we actually know each other.” Without it, you can't get to the meaningful stuff — you have to test the water first, find shared ground, and build from there. Jill shares a story about a coworker who thought small talk was painful until she watched Jill use it to connect people at a conference in minutes.It's a Social MuscleLike any skill, the more low-stakes small talk you practice, the more comfortable you get with conversation in general — and that skill transfers to networking, dating, and even hard family conversations. It also signals warmth and approachability, which matters more than we think in a season researchers are calling a loneliness epidemic.Where It Shows Up in Real LifeProfessional advancement often happens informally — in hallway chats and casual check-ins, not just performance reviews. In relationships, small talk is maintenance: couples who check in with “how was your day” tend to stay more connected than couples who only discuss logistics. And it turns out brief, friendly exchanges with strangers give real, measurable boosts to mood and confidence.Seven Small Steps to Get Better at ItFor anyone who feels like small talk doesn't come naturally, Jill breaks it into concrete steps: lower the bar (nice weather today is a complete success), use the FORD method (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams) when you're stuck, comment instead of question, practice in low-stakes places, set tiny specific goals, let silence be okay, and exit gracefully.Small talk isn't shallow — it's the quiet infrastructure of connection. It doesn't ask you to become someone you're not; it just asks for one small step, with one extra person, today.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

Few trainers have had a busier week than Brett Dodson. He left Coffs Harbour on Thursday July 9th with his bonny mare Petticoat who was to start in a BM78 at Randwick two days later. It was a case of so near but yet so far as Petticoat went down by a whisker to Zouripper. As soon as Petticoat was ready to travel Brett embarked on the arduous journey back to Coffs. He had good reason to feel a little the worse for wear by the time he arrived at the Grafton track on Sunday with Miss Midas Touch for the 1400m maiden. Despite copping a hefty bump at the 300m, the mare grabbed the lead for a few strides before finishing third to You Are Mind and Occupation. No wins, but good runs by both Petticoat and Miss Midas Touch. Brett Dodson rarely has more than a dozen horses in work and is prepared to take them wherever they have the best chance of earning prize money. Tamworth born Dodson became “hooked” on racing in his early teens and resolved from the outset to seek a future in the industry. He recorded 13 wins and 30 placings as a professional jockey before increasing weight halted his progress. He switched immediately to the picnic circuit where he enjoyed success for two full seasons. Brett had a trainer's licence by age 18 and has put it to good use over more than three decades. He begins by talking about the long road trip to Sydney with Petticoat and the reliable mare's gutsy performance in Saturday's Keiran Moore BM78 at Randwick. The trainer says he had to shrug off fatigue to saddle Miss Midas Touch at Grafton twenty four hours later. Brett outlines the backstory of his promising five year old My Mum's Toyboy. He profiles the gelding's pedigree and talks of the success he's enjoyed with others out of the same mare. He says there wasn't a trace of racing in his family background. Brett confirms his passion for racing was initially generated by TV and radio coverage. He later became a subscriber to two famous monthly magazines. He talks of a friendship with a former prominent Sydney jockey who gifted him one of his old saddles. Brett says it all started when he visited local trainer Terry Wicks to seek advice on how best to gain an apprenticeship. He was in for a very pleasant surprise. He clearly remembers his first race ride and his first trip to the winner's circle. Brett says soaring weight quickly terminated any suggestion of a long term career as a professional jockey. He looks back on two happy seasons as an amateur rider. The Coffs Harbour horseman remembers his first training win with a horse purchased cheaply from another stable. He looks back on an invaluable learning experience with talented trainer Tim Martin. Brett talks about his stint as private trainer for owner/breeder Andrew Pratten who had his horses based at Inverell. He later encouraged Andrew to consider moving his horses to the balmier climate at Coffs Harbour. He pays tribute to the two horses who provided him with black type success. The trainer acknowledges a few talented horses to help him along the way and gives a shoutout to a promising rising three year old he has in his care. Brett shares the story of the amazing business deal he was able to strike with Hong Kong agents just on two years ago. He talks of his ongoing friendship with prominent Brisbane jockey Kyle Wilson Taylor. This is a nice chat with a bush trainer who hasn't regretted a single day spent in the racing industry.

Liubov Velychko is a Ukrainian investigative journalist based in Kyiv. Her reported areas include corruption, Russian disinformation, Russian intelligence-service influence operations, sanctions circumvention, energy politics, environmental crime and money laundering. She published in major Ukrainian outlets including LIGA.net, Mind.ua, Slovo i Dilo, and as a member of OCCRP and N-vestigate. Since Russia's full-scale invasion, she has focused heavily on Russia's information and influence infrastructure: FSB “temnyki” or talking-point systems, sanctions evasion, Russian lobbying in international institutions, and toxicity of Russian energy-sector influence. She also examines the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC-MP) not simply as a religious body, but as an influence network: financially dependent, hierarchically disciplined, culturally embedded and vulnerable to Moscow's coercive leverage.----------Linkshttps://texty.org.ua/articles/117235/sprobuj-rabstvo-tobi-spodobayetsya-chomu-svyashchennyky-ne-jdut-z-upc-mp/ ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

She explains the split between Ukraine's independent Orthodox Church and the Moscow-linked structure, why many priests and congregations remain (social ties, fear of Russian retaliation, finances, and legal/property constraints), and how narratives are produced hierarchically and delivered flexibly to different audiences under SBU monitoring. The conversation covers criminal cases against some priests for treason and collaboration, differences between occupied and free territories, and how Moscow weaponizes “religious persecution” claims abroad. ----------CHAPTERS:01:32 Why We're at Lavra03:01 Two Orthodox Churches05:38 Why Priests Stay09:08 Control and Coercion12:49 Why Congregations Attend14:25 How Narratives Spread17:53 SBU Monitoring and Cases22:40 Dangerous War Narratives24:37 Occupied Territory Playbook26:47 Democracy vs Obedience29:25 Church as Occupation Network33:08 Surviving Inside the System37:06 Weaponizing Religion Abroad----------

This week on the program, a special full show with Palestinian author, historian and academic Dr. Ramzy Baroud about his latest book Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir Across Three Generations of Colonial Invasion, Occupation, and War in Palestine. Dr. Baroud takes us through long duree, a history that has not been amputated and distorted by colonial narrative. He explains the failings of corporate media, of political discourse, and the need for oppressed peoples to tell their own stories, without countering, without arguing the points of the oppressor. Because dignity cannot be divided. Freedom cannot be sectionalized. Dr. Ramzy Baroud is a Palestinian author, historian, and academic whose work centers on Palestinian history, liberation, and peoples history. He is the editor of The Palestine Chronicle, a position he has held since 1999, where he has helped shape an alternative narrative grounded in lived Palestinian experience. He holds a Ph.D. in Palestine Studies from the University of Exeter and has taught mass communication at Curtin University. He is also a Non-Resident Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Islam and Global Affairs at Zaim University in Istanbul. Dr. Baroud is the author of eight books, including Searching Jenin, The Second Palestinian Intifada, My Father Was a Freedom Fighter, The Last Earth, and These Chains Will Be Broken. He is also the co-editor, with Ilan Papp, of Our Vision for Liberation, and the forthcoming volume Gaza Rising. His latest book, Before the Flood, reconstructs Gaza's modern history through family memory and intergenerational testimony. His work brings together history, journalism, and political analysis, contributing to global conversations on Palestine, decolonization, and resistance. He has lectured widely at universities and institutions around the world, engaging audiences on Palestine, media, and popular resistance. The News That Didn't Make the News. Each week, co-hosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield conduct in depth interviews with their guests and offer hard hitting commentary on the key political, social, and economic issues of the day with an emphasis on critical media literacy.

What was it like to live in a city experiencing occupation by a foreign army? What did it mean when a family had to quarter an officer in their home? More specifically, how did military occupation affect the women and men who lived in those cities, and alter the gender system? Lauren Duval's The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence (Omohundro Institute and the University of North Carolina Press, 2025) tackles the these questions by looking at the experiences of a wide range of Americans, Black and white, in the cities occupied by the British during the American Revolution. Why the household? Because this was the primary social and economic unit of the day, a site where people during the war encountered unprecedented threats to their sense of social order. By looking at households, we gain not only an intimate view of the experience of war, but also a sweeping interpretation of the effects of war on American understandings of gender and power. Some Americans saw military occupation as a threat, full stop. It challenged men's senses of power and authority over their families, and the ever-present threat of rape hovered over women and girls. But because occupation could loosen some of the patriarchal control in the household, it could also offer tempting new opportunities. Free and enslaved Black people could take advantage of the disruptions to make calculated moves to gain freedom—or more freedom than they currently enjoyed. Black and white women could hope for a different kind of freedom when they forged relationships with military men. In all, The Home Front reveals entire worlds of young women, British officers, anxious patriarchs, enslaved Black women, German soldiers, and wives struggling to survive while their husbands or sons languished in prison or served in the military. And when the book turns to the postwar era, it reveals a stunning assessment of how those experiences of military occupation altered Americans' views of household social order. As a result, Duval's book does something unusual: it threads the needle between military history and the history of gender, women, and sexuality. Join us for this conversation between Lauren Duval and Carolyn Eastman (The Strange Genius of Mr. O and President of the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic) and get a glimpse into the experience of living during wartime.

Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma: A SAND Community Gathering with Dr. Samah Jabr, Dr. Gabor Maté & Dr. Jennifer Mullan, facilitated by Dr. Jess Ghannam Join us for a conversation marking the book launch of Radiance and Pain in Resilience, a powerful collection of essays by Palestinian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and internationally respected mental health advocate Dr. Samah Jabr. We are gathering in the midst of genocide. The massive, deliberate traumatization of an entire people, cheered, funded, and shielded from accountability by Western governments, is unfolding in real time. As Israel's assault on Gaza continues to annihilate bodies, families, and entire lineages, this conversation refuses to look away. It asks what it is to tend to the psyche under conditions of systematic destruction. Drawing on decades of clinical practice, political analysis, and lived experience under occupation, Dr. Jabr examines the psychological consequences of colonization, displacement, and historical trauma on the Palestinian people. Through personal reflections, case studies, and cultural critique, she challenges dominant Western paradigms of mental health and offers a decolonial, psycho-spiritual framework rooted in dignity, collective care, resistance, and truth. Proceeds from this conversation go directly to Project Hope Palestine, supporting 500 orphaned children living at Al-Baraka orphan camp in Gaza. Guests Dr. Samah Jabr is a psychiatrist practicing in Palestine, serving communities in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. She was formerly Head of the Mental Health Unit within the Palestinian Ministry of Health and is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. She is the author of several books including Behind the Frontlines, Sumud, Sumud in Times of Genocide, and most recently Radiance in Pain and Resilience: The Global Reverberations of Palestinian Historical Trauma. Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician, trauma expert, and bestselling author of The Myth of Normal, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, and When the Body Says No. Dr. Jennifer Mullan is a clinical psychologist and the author of the national bestseller Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma, and Politicizing Your Practice.

The American Revolution was not fought on distant battlefields, but in private homes. British occupation produced an aggrieved American population, bound by shared domestic disorder and emotional distress. British officers usurped male authority to quarter themselves with families, patriot wives governed households in their husbands' absence, daughters flirted with officers, domestic servants disappeared with soldiers, and enslaved kin absconded to British lines in pursuit of freedom. Lauren Duval joins us to talk about her new book, The Home Front: Revolutionary Households, Military Occupation, and the Making of American Independence which captures daily life during the Revolution through the eyes and ears of those intimately experiencing it Tell us what you think!

Theatrical stages often mirror the intricate evolution of the societies that build them. Professor Carmen Gitre explores the burgeoning performance culture of Cairo between 1867 and 1930. This era witnessed a shift from street storytelling and shadow plays to formal theater houses designed for an emerging class of Western-educated intellectuals. The discussion traverses the grand spectacle of the Suez Canal's opening to the subversive nationalist songs of performers like Mounira al-Mahdiyya. Through this historical lens, the stage appears as a critical site for negotiating modernity, colonial influence, and Egyptian identity. 00:00 Introduction 01:28 The Evolution of Performance 03:56 Commissioning an Operatic Staple for a Global Stage 07:35 Street Storytelling & the Shadows of Earlier Traditions 12:02 Urban Redesign Mirroring a Parisian Vision of Modernity 18:46 Defensive Developmentalism & the Weight of Sovereign Debt 27:21 Syrian Practitioners & the Burgeoning Role of the Press 32:31 Efendi vs. Basha 39:01 Vernacular Choices for an Elevated Public Education 44:31 Satirical Observations through a Modernist Lens 51:14 The nuances of the women's movement 57:04 Disembodied Voices in the Era of Early Recording 58:00 Performances Spilling into the Nationalist Fervor of 1919 01:03:02 Cinematic Transitions and Legacies for the Everyman Carmen Gitre is an Associate Professor of Middle East History and Associate Chair of History at Virginia Tech University. She earned her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 2011. From 2011 to 2014, she taught in the International Studies and History Departments at Seattle University. Her academic interests include cultural history, imperialism, and the relationship between performance, identity, and modernity in Egypt. Her book, Acting Egyptian: Theater, Identity, and Political Culture in Cairo, 1867-1930, was published by the University of Texas Press in 2019. Other publications include 'The Dramatic Middle East: Performance as History in Egypt and Beyond,' and 'Nonsense and Morality: Comedy in Interwar Egypt.'

On 21 June 1991, the last transport carrying Soviet troops crossed Czechoslovakia's eastern border, bringing to an end the 23-year military presence that followed the Warsaw Pact invasion of August 1968. Today, we look back on the events that shaped an entire generation with historian Peter Jašek from the National Memory Institute (ÚPN). Together, we trace the story from the invasion and subsequent occupation to the withdrawal of Soviet forces in the wake of the Velvet Revolution. Drawing on archival recordings, we also revisit the memories of key figures from the period, including Michael Kocáb, who served as deputy chairman of the parliamentary commission overseeing the withdrawal of the Central Group of Soviet Forces from Czechoslovakia.
Have you ever felt like your eating disorder didn't have a name, or that what you were going through just didn't quite fit? This episode is for you.This week on the Full of Beans Podcast, I'm joined by Dr Ruth Cruickshank, Associate Professor at Royal Holloway, University of London. Ruth has a background in French literature, but has carved out a truly unique space in eating disorder research, using her expertise in critical reading, food studies and her own lived experience of OSFED to ask the questions that others simply aren't asking.Ruth is the only academic in the humanities working on OSFED, and she is doing extraordinary work to challenge why the most common eating disorder diagnosis remains so systemically overlooked.In this episode, we explore:How Ruth's career took her from French literature and advertising to eating disorder researchHow representations of food in fiction carry deeper psychological and cultural meaningsWhat OSFED is and why it matters that so many people have never heard of itWhy OSFED and UFED remain under-researched despite being the most common eating disorder diagnosesThe danger of diagnostic criteria focused on weight and behaviour rather than distress and daily impactWhy not having a name for your experience can be so isolating and why that validation mattersThe "not sick enough" narrative and how diagnostic language can keep people stuckWhether a truly person-centred approach to eating disorder treatment could change everythingWhat Ruth wants anyone to know if they've never been able to name their experienceConnect with Us:Subscribe to the Full of Beans PodcastFollow Full of Beans on InstagramCheck out our websiteListen on YouTubeConnect with Ruth via her Research ProfileRead Ruth's research:Challenging the enduring epistemic injustice of eating disorders: Critically re-reading Occupation food insecurity in the Trente Glorieuses with Elsa Triolet and the 1944–1945 ‘Minnesota Starvation Experiment'Not knowing and the problematics of naming eating disorders: OSFED/EDNOS/TCA-NS and Annie Ernaux's Mémoire de fille [A Girl's Story]⚠️ Content Note: This episode includes discussion of OSFED, anorexia, bulimia, and the difficulty of language in eating disorder treatment.

Albert Ier avait survécu à la guerre, aux tranchées, à l'invasion de son pays, et il était devenu pour les Belges bien plus qu'un roi : une figure de résistance. Mais derrière le souverain, il y avait un homme qui cherchait encore à disparaître, quelques heures, loin du palais, face à la roche. Un jour de février 1934, cette liberté qu'il aimait tant va ouvrir l'un des épisodes les plus troublants de l'histoire royale belge.Franck Ferrand vous plonge dans le destin hors du commun de ce souverain courageux, qui a choisi de rester aux côtés de son armée pendant le conflit plutôt que de fuir, devenant ainsi une figure emblématique de la résistance belge. Né dans une branche cadette de la famille royale, Albert Ier n'était pas destiné à régner. Pourtant, le sort en a décidé autrement lorsque son neveu, le prince Léopold, est décédé en 1869. Devenu roi en 1909, Albert Ier s'impose rapidement comme un monarque moderne et proche de son peuple, formant avec la reine Élisabeth un couple remarquable.Mais le règne d'Albert Ier est loin d'être de tout repos. À peine installé sur le trône, la Belgique est envahie par l'Allemagne en août 1914. Refusant de capituler, le roi choisit de rester sur le front aux côtés de son armée, devenant ainsi le symbole de la résistance belge face à l'occupant. Sa présence obstinée sur le champ de bataille, aux côtés de ses soldats, fait de lui un véritable roi héros, surnommé le « roi chevalier ».Après la victoire en 1918, Albert Ier doit relever un pays meurtri et ruiné par quatre années de conflit. Mais les défis ne s'arrêtent pas là pour le souverain, qui doit faire face à la montée des régimes autoritaires en Europe et aux tensions internes de son royaume, notamment la question flamande.Malgré cette lourde charge, Albert Ier trouve un exutoire dans sa passion pour la montagne. Alpiniste accompli, il s'évade régulièrement loin du protocole royal pour retrouver la liberté et la sérénité dans les Alpes. Mais c'est lors de l'une de ces escapades en solitaire que le roi connaîtra une fin tragique, trouvant la mort dans un accident d'escalade en 1934.Rejoignez Franck Ferrand pour découvrir le destin exceptionnel de ce roi qui a marqué l'histoire de la Belgique et de l'Europe
