Podcasts about Palgrave

In this informative episode, President and executive writing coach Christine Tulley interviews coach Heather Witcher about the growing trend of short form academic books. Learn what these publications are, who they're for, and why they're becoming increasingly popular among academic presses. Heather shares her personal experience publishing in Palgrave's Pivot series and offers valuable insights about the proposal process for these focused, timely works. This episode explores how short form books provide an excellent option for niche topics that may be too focused for traditional monographs but too extensive for journal articles. At 30,000-50,000 words, these publications occupy the perfect middle ground while still counting as book publications for most universities. Discover how these more accessible texts are aimed at both academic and general audiences, requiring authors to demonstrate current relevance and impact.

Who is responsible for making a work of art? In each episode of this collaborative podcast series, one anthropologist, specialising in a particular cultural context, has a conversation with an artist of their choosing, exploring issues of authorship and responsibility in art. Ranging across geographical locations and creative practices, discussions address and unpack the conceptualisation of the artistic person, authorship as centred upon an individual or bounded group, and the development of responsibility for artworks during and after their making. Each episode brings a fresh perspective on where ideas come from, what agency an artist feels in the creation of their work, and how, and in which contexts, ownership and responsibility for the artwork are claimed. Ultimately, as a collection, the series encourages listeners to think about ‘the artist' and ‘the artwork' as dynamic processes in a relationship of authoring. Series 3, Episode 7 of Artery features Florentina Manuel Martínez with Michele A. Feder-Nadoff and Claudia Rocha Valverde Florentina Manuel Martínez is a textile artist originally from the state of Veracruz, in the municipality of Chicontepec, in the community of Ateno. She is a Náhuatl language speaker. Currently she is living in Tamaletom (the municipality of Tancanhuitz, in the state of San Luis Potosí, México). Florentina is married to a Tének flyer man of Tamaletom. (Tének is an Indigenous group of Mexico and flying refers to the traditional ritual dance of prehispanic origins.) Florentina has lived in Tamaleton for 18 years and has learned much about the Tének culture. Michele A. Feder-Nadoff is an artist and anthropologist whose practice and research is concerned with the meaning of making [https://mfedernadoff.academia.edu].

This led to her founding the non-profit Cuentos Foundation, becoming a Fulbright Scholar and cultural anthropologist, PhD, El Colegio de Michoacán. Her critical aesthetics integrates onto-epistemology, performance, and phenomenology with multimodal and collaborative methods designed to decolonize education, art and anthropology. Her artwork is included in private and public collections worldwide. Recent publications include her edited volume, Performing Craft in Mexico: Artisans, Aesthetics and the Power of Translation, 2022, Lexington (Bloomsbury Press), her monograph An Anthropology of Making in Santa Clara del Cobre: Presence of Absence, 2024, Palgrave, and numerous book chapters and articles.

Why are Black women still expected to carry everything without complaint? They keep telling Black women to be strong, to push through, to hold it all together. But what they never address is the damage that message leaves behind—mentally, physically, emotionally. The burnout, the silence, the pressure to succeed at the expense of our well-being. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still paying too high a price, you're not imagining it. You're navigating systems that were never designed with your safety in mind. In this special National Black Girl Month™ episode, you're invited into a powerful conversation with Dr. Vanessa Perry, global thought leader, psychologist, and CEO of The Perry Group. Alongside Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown, we explore what Superwoman Syndrome actually costs Black women—and how to stop carrying what was never ours to begin with. This episode answers the unspoken questions so many Black women ask themselves: Why do I feel like success is wearing me down? Is it possible to lead without losing myself? How do I reclaim peace when the world expects performance? Dr. Perry shares insights from over 25 years of research and executive advising in Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and high-level leadership spaces. Together, we discuss how to name the cycle, build supportive community, and create spaces—personally and professionally—where Black women no longer have to prove themselves to belong. This isn't just about workplace equity. It's about redefining what thriving looks like on our own terms. → Learn more and access your free toolkit at nationalblackgirlmonth.com → Join our virtual community: facebook.com/groups/nationalblackgirlmonth → Connect with Dr. Venessa Perry: https://www.linkedin.com/in/venessam/ → Connect with Dr. Rikesha Fry Brown: www.instagram.com/dr.rikesha → Connect with Felicia Ford: www.threads.net/@friendscallmefe Join Momentum Lab: https://lab.feliciafordandco.com About Dr. Venessa Perry: Dr. Venessa M.

Whether you share them, prefer them or avoid them – pronouns are everywhere. As Laura Paterson, a linguist who specialises in pronouns, tells us, this is a. because they are an essential part of grammar and b. because they are particularly sexy right now. Laura tells us what exactly a pronoun is and why third-person personal pronouns can cause so much controversy, despite the fact that their main job is just to point to things.  References: Paterson, Laura L.

We spend our 50th episode (the last of this season) with communication theorist Amit Pinchevski. Amit's recent book Echo (MIT Press) explores its topic through mythology, etymology, history, technology, and philosophy. The book challenges the notion that echo is mere repetition. Instead, Pinchevski argues, echo is a generative medium that creatively expresses our relations to others and the world around us. Just as a baby first learns to speak by repeating the sounds of others, a philosophy of echoes reminds us that our own agency and creativity reside in repetitions that respond to the past.  For our Patreon members we the full two-hour conversation with Amit's “What's Good” segment.

This episode features a conversation with Mustahid Husain, who is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto Mississauga. His work explores a variety of themes, from international development and global inequality to mental health and the Bangladeshi diaspora. He is the author of two new books. The first is a short academic monograph, Masculinity and Mental Health of Muslim Men of Colour: Diaspora and Intersectionality of Canadian Youth, published in 2024 as part of Palgrave's New Directions in Islam series. The book explores the complex intersection of mental health, masculinity, and cultural identity among young Bangldeshi-Canadian men. His second new book is the novel Double Truths, which follows the protagonist Asif as he navigates personal relationships and his own identity in the complicated world of international development agencies. In this conversation, Mustahid discusses both of these projects as well as the somewhat unconventional path that led him to pursue anthropology. Hosted on Acast.

In the windswept town of Islandmagee, County Antrim, in the year 1711, fear took root, and hysteria fanned the flames of injustice. Eight women—healers, widows, and outcasts—stood accused of witchcraft, charged with tormenting a young girl through dark sorcery. In an Ireland largely untouched by witch trials, this case became an eerie echo of Salem's horrors. As whispers turned to accusations, the trial unfolded with damning testimonies, spectral evidence, and the weight of superstition, as women turned to spiders, victims vomited pins and feathers and panic and politics conquered over reason.

Egal zu welchem Anlass, in Deutschland wird gerne getrunken. Obwohl der Konsum seit Jahren langsam sinkt, liegen wir im internationalen Vergleich immer noch weit vorn. Schätzungen gehen davon aus, dass jährlich mehr als 40.000 Menschen in Deutschland an den Folgen ihres Alkoholkonsums vorzeitig sterben. Und dennoch gilt Alkoholtrinken immer noch als normal. Warum können - oder wollen - wir nicht auf diese Droge verzichten? Es nur mit dem Rausch, mit der kleinen Flucht aus dem Alltag zu erklären, wäre zu einfach.  Autorin Yasmin Appelhans ist dem Alkoholkonsum wissenschaftlich auf den Grund gegangen und hat dafür auch in der Evolutionsgeschichte gewühlt. Im Gespräch mit Host Lucie Kluth erzählt sie von ihren spannenden Erkenntnissen - unter anderem, warum unser Körper Alkohol relativ gut verarbeiten kann, was die forschungsrelevante "Drunken Monkey Hypothesis" damit zu tun hat und warum gerade Soziale Medien mitverantwortlich dafür sind, dass viele junge Menschen ihren Alkoholkonsum hinterfragen.

Grazie al libro del filosofo Hiroki Azuma, OTAKU, gentilmente inviato da NERO Editions, Alessia si è dedicata in modo più attento e approfondito al fenomeno della cultura otaku, che vede coinvolta una fascia di grandi appassionati di manga, anime, videogiochi e prodotti della cultura pop e che, per l'autore, rappresenta un ottimo esempio di come sia nato il profilo di un nuovo soggetto del periodo postmoderno in cui viviamo: l'”animale accumuladati”, una forma di consumatore ossessionato dalla collezione e dalla catalogazione di qualsiasi elemento di ogni tipo di narrazione possibile.La cultura otaku è al contempo avanguardia e rappresentazione terminale del postmodernismo, anticipando l'attuale fan culture globale e In questo episodio di Japan Wildlife, dunque, Alessia ne parla insieme a Marco Pellitteri, curatore della nuova edizione del saggio di Azuma pubblicata da NERO (tra l'altro è stata sua la scelta di usare la parola “accumuladati” per tradurre il termine in giapponese usato da Azuma), scoprendo anche gli aspetti più interessanti dei suoi studi e ricerche sul fumetto e l'animazione nipponici.Marco Pellitteri è infatti sociologo dei media e dei processi culturali. Attualmente professore associato di media e comunicazione alla Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (Suzhou, Cina), i suoi interessi di ricerca primari sono sempre stati il fumetto, l'animazione, le culture popolari e le industrie creative dei media tradizionali e digitali a livello produttivo e nella loro distribuzione transnazionale. Oltre a numerosi saggi e articoli su volumi, enciclopedie e riviste accademiche italiani e internazionali, è autore dei seguenti libri:* Goldrake dalla A alla U. Origine, viaggio e ritorno della Sentinella nel blu, 1975-2024 (Rai Libri 2024) che vi segnalo essere ora disponibile per RaiLibri, insieme ai primi episodi della nuova serie reboot Goldrake U visibile su Raiplay.* The Palgrave Handbook of Music and Sound in Japanese Animation (a c. di, Palgrave 2024).* Sense of Comics. La grafica dei cinque sensi nel fumetto (Castelvecchi 1998)* Mazinga Nostalgia. Storia, valori e linguaggi della Goldrake-generation dal 1978 al nuovo secolo (Castelvecchi 1999, IV ed. in 2 voll. Tunué 2018)* Anatomia di Pokémon. Cultura di massa ed estetica dell'effimero fra pedagogia e globalizzazione (a c. di, Seam 2002)* Conoscere l'animazione. Forme, linguaggi e pedagogie del cinema animato per ragazzi (Valore Scuola 2004)* Il Drago e la Saetta. Modelli, strategie e identità dell'immaginario giapponese (Tunué 2008, ed. ingl. 2010)* Conoscere i videogiochi. Introduzione alla storia e alle teorie del videoludico (con M. Salvador, Tunué 2014)* Shooting Star. Sociologia mediatica e filosofia politica di Atlas Ufo Robot (con F. Giacomantonio, Luzi 2017)* I manga. Introduzione al fumetto giapponese (Carocci 2021) di cui vi ho accennato anche nell'episodio di recap delle mie letture del 2024* Japanese Animation in Asia.

This week Mike hosts Richard Heydarian, Senior Lecturer at the University of the Philippines Asian Center and author of, among others, Asia's New Battlefield (2015, Bloomsbury) & The Indo-Pacific: Trump, China & The New Struggle for Global Mastery (2019, Palgrave), to discuss the Philippines' foreign policy, relationships, and strategy in the Indo-Pacific. 

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/ukmnm Peele Castle and Other Poems By William Wordsworth Introduction by Evan Blackmore Narrated by Evan Blackmore This project is a recording of 43 poems on themes of hardship and bereavement, which are commonly included in Wordsworth anthologies (Matthew Arnold, Palgrave, etc.) The breadth and depth of Wordsworth's feelings went far beyond his own personal experience. When he looked back at other times—at the troubles of the Reformation or the religious persecutions under Charles II—he thought of the many different people who were affected and felt for them all. And when he traveled to other places—for instance, when he traveled through Scotland and wrote the poems collected in Yarrow Revisited—his mind lingered in the dwellings and the ruins, and felt for the people who had lived there too.

In this episode, Dr. Shahar Hameiri and Dr. Lee Jones discuss the political economy and financing behind global infrastructure development, with a focus on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The discussion explores the driving forces behind Chinese infrastructure investment, while addressing the crucial question of why American and European initiatives such as Global Gateway and the Program for Global Infrastructure and Investment struggle to compete with the BRI. We discuss dynamics of public and private finance, the role of public-private partnerships, and the challenges private investors face. Importantly, this episode reveals the U.S. Development Finance Corporation's increasing reliance on private capital, and the decline of the construction sector in the U.S. economy. This comprehensive view shows how different financing and development models shape the global infrastructure landscape, how infrastructure development has evolved into its current state, and novel fields of competition, such as undersea Internet cables. Hameiri and Jones are co-authors of Fractured China: How State Transformation is Shaping China's Rise (Cambridge University Press, 2021). Dr. Hameiri is Professor in the School of Political Science and International Relation at The University of Queensland. A political economist with diverse research interests, traversing the fields of security, development and aid, governance, political geography and international relations, he is interested in understanding the evolving nature of statehood and political agency under conditions of globalisation. His books include International Intervention and Local Politics (Cambridge University, 2017), Governing Borderless Threats: Non-Traditional Security and the Politics of State Transformation (Cambridge University Press, 2015), and Regulating Statehood (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010), and he is a co-editor for the fourth edition of The Political Economy of Southeast Asia: Poliltics and Uneven Development Under Hyperglobalisation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020). X: @ShaharHameiri. Dr. Jones is Professor in International Politics at the Queen Mary University of London. Lee specialises in political economy and international relations, focusing on the politics of intervention, security, and governance, with a particular interest in social conflict and the transformation of states. Much of his work focuses on Southeast Asia and China. Lee regularly advises the British and other governments and civil society organisations and has often appeared in the national and international media. A fellow of the Higher Education Academy, he also sits on the board of Palgrave's series Studies in the Political Economy of Public Policy, and the ESRC's peer review college.

In this episode, Dr. Shahar Hameiri and Dr. Lee Jones discuss the political economy and financing behind global infrastructure development, with a focus on China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The discussion explores the driving forces behind Chinese infrastructure investment, while addressing the crucial question of why American and European initiatives such as Global Gateway and the Program for Global Infrastructure and Investment struggle to compete with the BRI. We discuss dynamics of public and private finance, the role of public-private partnerships, and the challenges private investors face. Importantly, this episode reveals the U.S. Development Finance Corporation's increasing reliance on private capital, and the decline of the construction sector in the U.S. economy. This comprehensive view shows how different financing and development models shape the global infrastructure landscape, how infrastructure development has evolved into its current state, and novel fields of competition, such as undersea Internet cables.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Thomas Hardy (1840 -1928) and his commitment to poetry, which he prized far above his novels. In the 1890s, once he had earned enough from his fiction, Hardy stopped writing novels altogether and returned to the poetry he had largely put aside since his twenties. He hoped that he might be ranked one day alongside Shelley and Byron, worthy of inclusion in a collection such as Palgrave's Golden Treasury which had inspired him. Hardy kept writing poems for the rest of his life, in different styles and metres, and he explored genres from nature, to war, to epic. Among his best known are what he called his Poems of 1912 to 13, responding to his grief at the death of his first wife, Emma (1840 -1912), who he credited as the one who had made it possible for him to leave his work as an architect's clerk and to write the novels that made him famous.

Jehovah's Witnesses are one of the most successful “new religious movements” to have emerged from the prophetic ferment within later nineteenth-century Protestantism. Always controversial, often persecuted, and well-known for their proselytising efforts, they have made a substantial contribution in terms of human rights, and they count numerous famous musicians and sports stars among their membership. I caught up with Zoe Knox, Associate Professor in Modern Russian History at the University of Leicester, to discuss her new book, Jehovah's Witnesses and the Secular World: From the 1870s to the Present (Palgrave, 2018), to talk about the ways in which this religious community has changed over time, and how it developed its distinctive attitudes towards politics, blood transfusion, and evangelism. Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen's University Belfast. His research interests focus on the history of puritanism and evangelicalism, and he is the author most recently of John Owen and English Puritanism (Oxford University Press, 2016).

In his new book Inkface: Othello and White Authority in the Era of Atlantic Slavery (University of Virginia Press, 2023), Miles P. Grier argues that blackness in Othello and the texts that it influenced should be understood as deeply material, transferable, and unstable. The defining of alphanumerical and dramatic characters, while represented as settled, was anything but. As Miles writes in the book, “Before the racial categories of high scientific racism were elaborated in the late eighteenth century, a functional white interpretive community was being forged through the shared exercise of interpretive authority over inky black figures. The stage offered a place in which control over symbols and their interpretation could be celebrated as if it were already a fait accompli, rather than a tense, ongoing battle.” Miles Parks Grier is Professor of English at Queens College, City University of New York. Miles's articles have appeared in The William and Mary Quarterly, The Journal of Popular Music Studies, and Shakespeare/Text: Contemporary Readings in Textual Studies, Editing and Performance. Along with Cassander L. Smith and Nicholas Jones, Miles co-edited Early Modern Black Diaspora Studies: A Critical Anthology (Palgrave, 2018). Inkface is his first monograph. John Yargo is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at Boston College. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His specializations are early modern literature, the environmental humanities, and critical race studies. His dissertation explores early modern representations of environmental catastrophe, including William Shakespeare's The Tempest, Aphra Behn's Oroonoko, and John Milton's Paradise Lost. He has published in Early Theatre, Studies in Philology, The Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, and Shakespeare Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a revised--and a lot longer--version of our twenty-first episode ("Some thoughts about Hanukkah by a (secular) Jewish medieval historian").  That episode was  just what the title said, some thoughts about the role of Hanukkah in contemporary America and the Middle Ages. In it Ellen had a throwaway line about the Puritan war on Christmas. I thought that our listeners might be interested in why the Puritans objected to and tried to suppress Christmas, and, related to that, how Christmas, as well as Hanukkah was celebrated in the Middle Ages. I know that the result is a mishmash, but I hope it's an enjoyable and informative mishmash.Happy Holidays!This episode includes snippets from"Here we come a-wassailing" The St. Michael's Singers conducted by Paul Leddington Wright https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m29jEvTfVFUMa'oz Tsur sung by cantors from across Canada, Temple Sinai Toronto, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFY--az4z3wAdam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX5Z-HpHH9gReading:Hanukkah:Cait Stevenson, “Celebrating Hannukah in the Middle Ages” by Cait Stevenson, posted on Medievalists.net https://www.medievalists.net/2018/12/celebrating-hanukkah-middle-ages/Susan Weingarten, “Medieval Hanukkah Traditions: Jewish Festive Foods in their European Contexts, Food and History 8 (2010)::41-62Dianne Ashton,  (2013).

In A Feminist Reading of China's Digital Public Sphere (Palgrave Pivot, 2020), Altman Yuzhu Peng articulates how feminism and pseudo-feminism become confused in contemporary Chinese society, and how this confusion is invoked by misogynist voices to boycott feminist movements in China's digital public sphere. Peng examines how Western women politicians are stereotyped from a gendered lens in China's digital public sphere, and how this gendered stereotyping reflects the continuous exclusion of Chinese women in politics and beyond. The book examines how nationalist sentiment and patriarchal values converge in the Chinese context, and how nationalist rhetoric is deployed by misogynists to distort gender-issue debates in China's digital public sphere.

The C.O.W.S. welcomes Dr. Bethan V. Jones. An independent scholar whose work examines the relationship between fans, objects of fandom, and producers, Dr. Jones has published extensively on digital media, gender, antifandom and toxicity. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Transformative Works and Culture, Participations, and Sexualities, as well as edited collections for Palgrave and Routledge. She's also a board member on the Fan Studies Network. We'll discuss her 2022 paper on the White fandom around the cowardly Columbine shooters. Apparently, the Colorado killers are big news across the pond too. We'll relate this to Dr. Jones' report on her trip to Atlanta, Georgia. She attended an academic conference and made time for the Walking Dead tour. We'll discuss the racial demographics of the folks on these tours and what they reveal about White culture. We'll also see if she stopped by the King Center to pay her respects to the “Drum Major for Justice.” We heard about Dr. Jones from our recent conversation with Dr. Judith Fathallah, who's also in Whales. It seems they are pals. This program includes a staggering illustration of black male privilege. #Columbiner #WhiteFandom #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
