Australia is a pretty multicultural country, attracting around 190,000 permanent migrants from around the world each year. And chances are you know someone with a foreign accent. But have you ever wondered what makes up an accent, or why someone might want to change theirs? What can accents tell us about each other and the society we live in? Accent is a part of communication but does modifying it interfere with our identity? Gillian Aeria takes a deep dive into the topic and meets some people who work with modifying them. Featuring speech pathologist Sam Harvey, linguistic consultant Dr Duncan Markham from Ear and Speakand his clients Leon* and Sam Yam, and employment lawyer Andrew Jewell from McDonald Murholme. *not his real name Discrimination case referred to: Philip v State of New South Wales [2011] FMCA 308 (10 June 2011) PRODUCED by GILLIAN AERIA MUSIC: 'Starling' and 'Across the River' by Podington Bear (CC BY-NC 3.0) 'Thread of Clouds' by Blue Dot Sessions (CC BY-NC 4.0) From the Free Music Archive See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From social enterprises to credit unions, a new wave of not-for-profit businesses is pushing back against the assumption that consumerism and competition must drive the economy. In this episode, we speak with Jen Hinton of the Post Growth Institute, co-author of a forthcoming book about how the line between businesses and not-for-profit organizations doesn’t have to be as rigid as you might think.

In the Fall of 2017, it was announced that all four of the last remaining Englewood neighborhood high schools would be closing. Three of them will be dissolved over the next three years, but Paul Robeson High School, which opened in 1977, had it's last day of school on Tuesday, June 19. It will be demolished to make way for a new, $85-million high school. Since its opening four decades ago, Robeson High School has been a staple in the Englewood neighborhood—one that's garnered community pride and supported student growth. It has also been a place of disinvestment, neglect, and several failed education policies. Its closure leaves a hole in the hearts and minds of the many students, staff, parents, and community members who interacted with Robeson High School over the decades. For the past six months, we at South Side Weekly Radio—Erisa Apantaku, Olivia Obineme, Bridget Vaughn, and Bridget Newsham—have been collecting memories and experiences from former students, teachers, staff members, parents, and community members. In this hour of radio, we take you through those four decades of Robeson history, through the stories of people from the Robeson community. If you’re a Robeson Raider who wants your memories preserved, email us at southsideweeklyradio@gmail.com.

In June 2016, the Norwegian government issued ten petroleum extraction licenses for a highly sensitive area of the Arctic Barents Sea for both Norway’s state-owned oil company, Statoil, and companies representing other developed nations from around the world. Prior to that, the 2014 revision of the Norwegian Constitution saw legislators insert Article 112 as a key constitutionally enshrined human right affording citizens enforceable rights to live in a healthy environment. But what does this mean exactly? And what duty does it place on the state in upholding such rights? Today we bring you an episode on something we've been following closely since 2016: the ongoing case challenging the constitutionality of Norway's Arctic petroleum extraction licensing, Greenpeace Nordic and Nature & Youth v The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy of Norway, or more popularly referred to as "The People vs. Arctic Oil". And we were thrilled to be able to speak with the lead claimant in the case - Mr. Truls Gulowsen of Greenpeace. In todays episode, we discuss why we have witnessed an increasing use of the courts as the avenue for asserting environmental rights and what it may mean for the environmental preservation debate that claims have increasingly shifted from an environmental law framing to a human rights framing. We delve into the Norwegian case to evaluate the unique challenges facing climate litigation as a new avenue for challenging environmentally deleterious decisions and the difficult position national courts face in being being asked to be the adjudicator of claims for environmental rights. Join us! “Every person has the right to an environment that is conducive to health and to a natural environment whose productivity and diversity are maintained. Natural resources shall be managed on the basis of comprehensive long term considerations, which will safeguard this right for future generations as well. In order to safeguard their right, citizens are entitled to information on the state of the natural environment and on the effects of any encroachment on nature that is planned or carried out. The authorities of the state shall take measures for the implementation of these principles." - Article 112, Constitution of Norway A special thanks to Mr. Truls Gulowsen, head of Greenpeace Norway, for discussing for taking the time to speak with us on several occasions about the ongoing legal challenge he leads. If you would like to support Greenpeace in their efforts in this case, or to follow the updates as the case progresses, visit their website at www.savethearctic.org. We would also like to thank Antje Neumann, from Tilburg's Department of European and International Law, and Dr. Benjamin Richardson, professor of environmental law and the financial sector at the University of Tasmania and recent Visiting Chair of our Global Law Programme, for their enthusiastic participation in this episode.

During the Spring and Summer of 2017 we witnessed a chain of terrorism-related attacks in the United Kingdom. These events have contributed to shifting the focus and debate from events occurring abroad to those in the UK and the effectiveness of domestic counter-terrorism policy. In view of an increasing number of anti-terrorism legislative instruments across jurisdictions as well as sustained criticism as to their broad scope and intrusion into the lives of citizens, we continue our discussion of the ongoing political debate surrounding the operation of anti-terrorism law by focusing on those in the UK and by looking at what role independent review of legislation can play in the process. Arguably, with the threat from terrorism continuing to evolve and diversify, it is vital that a robust oversight exists to ensure the counter-terrorism laws are fair, necessary and proportionate. We had the privilege to meet with Mr. David Anderson QC, who previously held the position of Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation in the UK - a highly unique role in Europe. Our discussion elucidates not only the critical role of the Independent Reviewer in the policy debate surrounding national security and terrorism, but also any duties of the State to ensure such legislation complies with the State's obligations towards its citizens. We thank Mr. David Anderson QC, appointed as the UK's Independent Reviewer of terrorism legislation from 2011-2017 for his insightful contribution to this episode.

There is no shortage of climate markers suggesting that we are marching towards an uncertain environmental future. In the current efforts to halt and reverse our environmental degradation, there is virtually no questioning of whether we can have sustainability in a world of global capitalism and it is inconceivable that continuing with our traditional global investment scheme will get us through the rest of this century. Ongoing deterioration of the global climate has precipitated an urgency for new, innovative means to shift towards a more sustainable scheme of our global economic markets. Legal incorporation of principles of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) into global investment mandates has been proposed as a means to fundamentally shift global investment mentality and operations towards greater environmental protection and sustainability. We set out to evaluate if SRI can be integrated into our global scheme and how the codification of these principles within corporate and investment law may help achieve their stated goals. We focused our investigation on an area where incorporation of SRI is already underway and has shown some success, namely sovereign wealth funds. And what better investment fund to lead this charge than the largest, most extensive, and most likely to form a model for legal transplantation to other industries - the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. Join us as we explore efforts to address what is arguably the defining challenge of our time.

This episode of Nomosphone was inspired by the wave of elections in the US, France, UK and elsewhere this Spring. During the rallies and campaign videos in the US, we saw a number of musicians publicly distance their music from then Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Through this episode, we questioned whether there are legal consequences and potential legal recourse available to musicians when politicians make use of their music without consent. We were fortunate enough to speak to litigator Lincoln Bandlow who helped to answer our question.

For our newest episode, we explore the ongoing state of emergency in France, its constitutionality, and its effects on French citizens. The state of emergency in France was first instituted nearly two years ago, and subsequently extended several times in the face of continued terrorist attacks on French soil. Do we still find justification for this heightened state of security? Can France fulfill its obligations to EU values and fundamental rights within a state of intense security? And what does it mean for French citizens to live under a seemingly permanent state of emergency? We are joined in our discussion by constitutional law scholar Dr. Geert-Jan Leenknegt (Tilburg University) and criminal law scholar Dr. Ioannis Rodopoulos (University of Luxembourg). Join us!

Today, we're launching something new that we're calling "Footnotes". In these episodes we're endeavouring to regularly bring you interesting discourses delivered in a variety of formats that concern topical global law issues. In our inaugural Footnote episode, we bring you a reflection on President Obama's foreign policy legacy over his eight years in office. This lecture was given by Dr. Randall Lesaffer, a professor and historian of international law at Tilburg University Law School, mere weeks after the inauguration of President Trump. What global impact has Obama's foreign policy had? Are the views of Obama and Trump regarding the place of the US in the global order really that divergent? And can an Obama legacy withstand a radical departure in US foreign policy as indicated by Trump in only his first months in office? Join us!
