Death rituals take different forms from what we would call a standard funeral. Cultures honor the lives of those who have passed away in diverse ways. Sometimes services depend on spiritual beliefs and practices. Other times, the service or remembering is held long after the honoree has transitioned. On this episode, we dive into the history of death and burial in the south, explore what some would call uncommon death rituals and perhaps broaden our perspective on how we can honor the dead. But first, we talk to artist Ndume Olatushani about his current mixed media exhibit at American Baptist College focusing on lynching. This episode was produced by Tasha A.F. Lemley. Guests: Ndume Olatushani, artist and activist Dr. Kris McCusker, MTSU Professor, Oral Historian, and author of Just Enough to Put Him Away Decent T.J.

On World Menopause day it seems very fitting to look at the menopause from a historical angle and link it to women's experience today. It hasn't been an easy ride for middle-aged women over the centuries.  We've proven to be quite a mystery to the medical community, which has led to some unusual, hilarious and often very distressing assumptions about what's going on with the female body. To help us unravel all this, I'm joined by oral historian Dr Helen Foster of the East Midlands Oral History Archive at the University of Leicester. As well as being an expert around menopausal themes throughout history, she's also developed the Silent Archive, working with a group of volunteers to record women's stories of menopause through interviews, personal audio diaries and conversations. I first heard her give a talk about The Bloody History of Menopause last year at The Old Operating Theatre Museum in London, and I was fascinated so I just had to snap her up for the podcast!Helen takes us through the history of menopause, explaining the confusion and superstition about menstrual blood that built up over the centuries – did you know that we could turn milk sour and cause all manner of other domestic upheaval during our period? We talk about vilification of post-menopausal women who didn't fit into the norm, which led to many of the witchcraft trials in the 16th century and women being shut up in asylums in later centuries. She also explains the utterly bizarre medical theory of the “wandering womb” which could apparently cause a whole host of mental and physical health issues! If you've enjoyed the podcast, don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode and please give it 5 star rating and a short review on Apple podcasts, or whichever platform you listen on, I'd be so grateful. And do tell your friends and family about it too. It really does make a huge difference to the visibility of the podcast, so that more women can find the show. After all, every woman deserves to have a happy menopause. Check out the full Show Notes for this episode on my website www.well-well-well.co.uk/podcast, where you'll find all the relevant links and references for my guest.

One of the most famous stories to come out of World War I is that of the "Christmas Truce" of 1914, in which German and British forces engaged in a spontaneous and unofficial ceasefire and spent the holiday fraternizing with each other. In the popular imagination, the Christmas Truce was a time in which enemies put aside their differences to sing carols, exchange gifts, and even play soccer, and represented a sentimental flowering of peace and goodwill.How much of the popular legend around the Christmas Truce is true, and how much is myth? My guest will unpack that for us. His name is Peter Hart and he served as Oral Historian of the Imperial War Museum for 40 years and is the author of several books on military history, including The Great War: A Combat History of the First World War. Today on the show, Peter gives us some background on the start of WWI, what led up to the Christmas Truce, and what life was like for soldiers in the trenches. We then discuss how the Christmas Truce began, and what happened during it (including whether the soldiers really played soccer together), what the leaders of the participating militaries thought of this unofficial ceasefire, how long the truce lasted, and how it ended. Peter explains that while the truce was certainly motivated partly by sentiment, it was primarily done for more practical and even strategic reasons. We end our conversation with why, even though the real Christmas Truce is a less romantic event than commonly conceived, it's still a wonderful story about our shared humanity.Resources Related to the PodcastPeter's books on Amazon, including Fire and MovementPeter's Podcast: Pete and Gary's Military HistoryDocumentary on the Christmas Truce featuring Peter Hart and Taff GillinghamVideo from the Imperial War Museum on the Christmas TrucePhotos of the Christmas TruceThe Race to the SeaConnect With Peter HartPeter on Twitter

Tamara Santibañez (they/them) - 2016 New York City The multi-amazing @tamarasantibanez / www.tamarasantibanez.com The internet is often a vacuum for good human energy (then once again, I was suggested to meet Tamara who navigates it all gracefully). I was sitting with a mutual friend catching up before my client arrived and queer tattooing came up (he said just go now, before I knew it I was en route). I had barely 45 minutes before my client arrived that day. (a classic uber situation blasted me over to meet up at the LA Book Fair (where I walked by a number of folks I look up to). I found the Discipline Press booth but was not entirely sure who to talk to because I didn't see Tamara (and I was running short on time). We had a quick hello and I jammed back to DTLA to tattoo. We met up again on tour while in New York City later that same year for some diner and a longer hang out this time around. They invited me over to do the interview at theirs (we were staying just around the corner from Tamara's in Brooklyn). We chatted and got to know each other again more in person through the time shared. I was totally smitten (this person really embodies and lives what they communicate through their work and to their communities politically, socially, perosnally). Not only through tattooing and art making but how they treat themselves (big ups).

Katherine O'Donnell, director of an Irish Research Council project on recording the archival and oral history of the Irish Magdalenes, reveals how she came to undertake the project. She describes how she learned to deal with vicarious trauma and how the Magdalene oral history collection has an added significance given the imposed silence on the survivors of residential institutional abuse who participated in the Residential Institutions Redress Board. She closes with a description of how the Magdalene Oral history is aligned with the processes of Transitional Justice and proposes that the Republic of Ireland might adopt the central principles of Truth-Telling, Accountability, Reparations and Guarantees of Non-Recurrence. About the speaker Dr Katherine O'Donnell is Associate Professor, History of Ideas, UCD School of Philosophy and one of the five members of Justice for Magdalenes Research. For ten years she was the Director of UCD Women's Studies Centre and she has published widely on the History of Ideas in Eighteenth Century Ireland, on the history of sexuality and Irish literature.

During the month of November services are held for Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR),  memorializing victims of transphobic violence. Unfortunately As of the end of October 2017, 23 trans people have been reported killed by violence in the U.S. Often after being discriminated against and  targeted for violence in life, trans women and men continue to be victimized in death where they are misgendered in police and media reports even by family members and are not identified immediately as transgender. Although nothing can take away the pain of the loss of these trans women and women, this year has been historic for the TLGB community with the election of several openly transgender candidates in Virginia, in California, in Pennsylvania, and in Georgia on November 8th. Perhaps the greatest win of all was in the city of Minneapolis where Andrea Jenkins became the first openly trans woman of color elected to a major city’s city council.  Earlier this year we spent time with Andrea talking about her poetry, her work collecting the oral history of our trans sisters/brothers and dreams of representing Minneapolis Ward 8. To celebrate her historic win and as a reminder that Trans Lives Matter, Collections by Michelle Brown will rebroadcast our earlier interview with now Councilwoman-elect Andrea Jenkins.  Her fierce spirit, unwavering commitment and unapologetic voice as a proud trans woman of color is something we can all truly be thankful for!!

From Joyce Piven and Alan Arkin to Michael Shannon and Evan Linder, Mark has recorded the stories of playwrights, actors, critics, designers, stage managers, teachers, comedians, artistic directors, producers, executives, and everyone in between. We know you will enjoy hearing our lively discussion about the birth and growth of the Chicago theater scene and the players who made it possible. Mark's book will be released in 2018. You might also enjoy reading more about the incredible story of the rise of theater in Chicago in legendary critic Richard Christiansen's book A Theatre of Our Own, A History and Memoir of 1,001 Nights in Chicago.

Too much of trans-history has gone unrecorded and untold but our guest Andrea Jenkins is capturing this precious treasure. Andrea Jenkins is the Trans Oral Historian for the Jean-Nickolaus Tretter Collection in Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at the University of Minnesota. The Project will empower individuals to tell their story, while providing students, historians, and the public with a more rich foundation of primary source material about the transgender community. Jenkins has already interviewed over 125 members of the Transgender community ranging in age from 18 to 85. She is also and most notably a playwright, curator, visual artist, poet, writer, spoken word artist, performer, and trans-activist.  Her work is concerned with the interplay of words, mediums and genres that can be mashed together to create a new narrative. She views her work as collage, working primarily with paper and mixed media as a visual form of curation. Taking various images that have been artfully produced for the purpose of consumerism and mixing them with social justice messages and images brings attention to the issues of inequality. ANDREA JENKINS has more than 25 years of public service experience as a Minneapolis City Council policy aide, nonprofit executive director and consultant, and Hennepin County employment specialist and is currently a candidate for City Council in Minneapolis Ward 8. In 2016, the murders of 27 transgender people were reported, making it the deadliest year on record for Transgender people. By February 27, 2017 five deaths had been reported two in New Orleans within days of each other. Statistics show the average life expectancy for Black transgender women is 35 years. Trans-genius, talent, lives and stories gone too soon.

In this episode of Interpreting Sisterhood Sr. Kathie and Rocky talk about the vow of chastity. “From my perspective our vow of celibacy is not to try to lead a loveless life. It’s to try to lead a really big, loving life. The difference is that those of us who chose to make this kind of a vow, do it in a different way than how a lot of other people do.” Music used in this episode: Jahzzar - L&H; http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/Kuddelmuddel/LHmaster2 Jahzzar - Elevator http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/BunkExcerpt/06- Jahzzar - Elevator Jahzzar - Not Today, Once Again http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/Kuddelmuddel/NotTodayOnceagain_2 Interpreting Sisterhood art by Rocky Pierson Interpreting Sisterhood is a podcast produced by Rocky Pierson focused on the deconstruction of myths surrounding women religious.
