The election clearly did not go the way many of us wanted. I was on the TV news once again on Election Night and the morning after. The outcome wasn't the shock it was in 2016, but it's profoundly disappointing. Join me and Diane Diaz for this conversation on our thoughts and how we're moving forward (recorded on Wednesday, November 6 at 11 am EST). We too are sad and frustrated but we also want to remind you of the power of your voice and your community. It's easy to jump to the conclusion that America won't elect a woman as president or that voters don't care about women's rights. Two things to keep in mind. First, in both Missouri and Arizona (as well as other states - both blue and red - since the Dobbs decision in 2022), amendments passed to counter very restrictive abortion laws. Unfortunately, in Florida where I live, a similar amendment did not pass because Florida requires 60% and the amendment got 57% (a similar percentage as in the other states). A healthy majority of voters, both men and women, agree that women's reproductive rights are essential. Second, it was a *very* close race. Kamala Harris only had 100 days to do what most presidential candidates have 2 years to do: introduce herself to the American people, talk about the issues she would focus on as president, and contrast herself not only with her opponent but also with the incumbent (Biden) in an era of anti-incumbency sentiment. Harris ran a nearly flawless campaign and I believe she simply ran out of time.  Hang in there. Your voice matters and the work you do matters.   About Us: The Speaking Your Brand podcast is hosted by Carol Cox.

In this episode of Found, Pastors Linda Tokar and Brandon Bathauer introduce their newest series "Living Faithfully in the Public Sphere." They explore the complex and sometimes challenging topic of Christian engagement in the public sphere. As Christians increasingly find themselves navigating cultural and political divides, Linda and Brandon unpack three distinct approaches to faith and public life. Whether it's the path of separation, a balanced "two kingdoms" approach, or transformative engagement, they dive into what each approach means for Christians today and how each reflects on our relationship with society and government.Using biblical, historical, and practical perspectives, they walk through examples of each stance, from the Monastic movement and the Anabaptist tradition to Luther's "two kingdoms" concept and the Reformed tradition's transformative vision. Through these examples, Linda and Brandon help listeners reflect on how to engage faithfully, authentically, and effectively in today's world.Key Themes:Separation: Exploring traditions like the Essenes, Monastic movements, and Anabaptism, where Christians set themselves apart from mainstream society as a way to preserve their values and avoid secular influence.Two Kingdoms: Understanding Martin Luther's perspective on God's distinct roles in the Church and the world, encouraging Christians to live faithfully within both without conflating them.Transformation: Investigating the Reformed view of actively bringing change to culture, inspired by thinkers like Abraham Kuyper and his concept of “sphere sovereignty.”Takeaways:A reminder that as Christians, we're called to think biblically, not politically, as we engage with the world.Each person's approach to public life can reflect both personal convictions and a faithful response to the Gospel's call.Jesus is called LORD of All. The question is, how can he be LORD of more in our lives, including the political decisions we make?Join us for an enlightening discussion on living as a people of faith within society. Listen now to explore which approach might resonate with your own journey in today's public square.

This episode offers an exploration of the life, works, and esoteric system of Franz Bardon (1909-1958), a Czech occultist who significantly influenced 20th-century Western esotericism. Bardon's seminal trilogy—"Initiation Into Hermetics" (1956), "The Practice of Magical Evocation" (1956), and "The Key to the True Quabbalah" (1957)—provides a comprehensive guide to his unique approach to Hermetic magic, which emphasizes self-mastery, elemental equilibrium, and spiritual transformation. The episode analyzes Bardon's step-by-step methodology for developing the practitioner's mental, astral, and physical faculties, as well as his innovative interpretation of the Hermetic principles of correspondence and analogy. It also examines Bardon's syncretic integration of Eastern and Western spiritual practices, such as yoga, alchemy, and Kabbalah, into a universal system adaptable to various esoteric paths.

The Democratic National Convention is being held in Chicago this week and many Americans will be re-introduced to V.P. Kamala Harris when she delivers her speech on Thursday night. I have a background in local Democratic politics and have always been a strong supporter of women running for office. Earlier this summer, we held in-person workshops for women who are running in the Central Florida area where we helped them with their public speaking and storytelling. It was a lot of fun and it showed me once again how powerful someone's personal story is! In this episode, I'm joined by two of those women, Jennifer Adams, who's running for U.S. Congress in Florida's District 7, and Sarah Henry, who's running for Florida State House in District 38. We talk about: Why they decided to run for office and the importance of asking women to run What it's like being a female candidate and having a public voice and presence Their stump speeches and how they tailor them based on the audience The surge of support and enthusiasm for V.P. Kamala Harris's campaign for President and what that tells us about the importance of authenticity The lessons they've learned about being themselves vs. trying to be someone they thought they should be What they learned about storytelling, taking up space, and messaging from the workshops we did with then The importance of donating to women candidates (find local women that you can donate to!)     Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/406/  Jennifer Adams for U.S. Congress: https://www.jenniferadamsforcongress.com/ Sarah Henry for Florida State House: https://sarahforfl.com/  Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/ Attend our 1-day Speaking for Impact in-person workshop in Orlando: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/workshop/  Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/  Connect on LinkedIn: Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcox Jennifer Adams (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferadams111-/ Sarah Henry (guest) = https://www.linkedin.com/in/slouisehenry/ Related Podcast Episodes: Episode 398: Storytelling for Leaders: Crafting Narratives that Inspire and Persuade Episode 390: Impromptu Speaking: How to Prepare and Feel Confident in Any Situation Episode 378: The Power of Women's Voices and Stories to Change the World Episode 191: Women in Politics and the Public Sphere with Rep.

What is the limit of free speech in society? What is the limit that Christians should adhere to? In this week's episode, Alex Kocman sits down with Ben Zeisloft, the editor at The Sentinel, a Christian news outlet, to discuss the legal case of Michael Cassidy, who illegally tore down a Satanic statue at the Iowa state capital in December 2023.

Even in adversity, Catholics exercised considerable agency in post-Reformation Utrecht. Through the political practices of repression and toleration, Utrecht's magistrates, under constant pressure from the Reformed Church, attempted to exclude Catholics from the urban public sphere. However, by mobilising their social status and networks, Catholic Utrechters created room to live as pious Catholics and honourable citizens, claiming more rights in the public sphere through their spatial practices and in discourses of self-representation. Catholic Survival in the Dutch Republic: Agency in Coexistence and the Public Sphere in Utrecht, 1620-1672 (Amsterdam University Press, 2024) by Dr. Genji Yasuhira explores how Catholic priests and laypeople cooperated and managed to survive the Reformed regime by participating in a communal process of delimiting the public, continuing to rely on the mediaeval legacy and adapting to early modern religious diversity. Deploying their own understandings of publicness, Catholic Utrechters not only enabled their survival in the city and the Catholic revival in the Dutch Republic but also contributed to shaping a multi-religious society in the Northern Netherlands. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On A New Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere and Deliberative Politics   [Patreon Tier III & IV Exclusive]   Continuing our theme of "the intelligentsia & the public," we discuss German critical theorist Jürgen Habermas's 2023 book, asking what sort of political culture is required for democracy. What role do the institutions of the public sphere and the media have in producing, sustaining or undermining this culture? How does Habermas' account contrast with B. Anderson on print capitalism? Is 'deliberative' democracy a trap? Who sets the rules of deliberation? Is a good media structure a 'constitutional imperative'? How do interests fit into Habermas' model? Do we need to leave our interests at the door?   Links: A New Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere and Deliberative Politics, Jurgen Habermas Jürgen Habermas is a major public intellectual. What are his key ideas?, Duncan Ivison, The Conversation /362/ Life Doesn't Have to Zuck ft. Cory Doctorow - on social media

Episode: 2846 Coffeehouses and the Birth of a Public Sphere.  Today, let's share a cup of coffee.

In a conversation with Kasia Krzyżanowska, Bécquer Seguin discusses his book “The Op-Ed Novel. A Literary History of Post-Franco Spain” (Harvard University Press, 2023). He elaborates on the concept of the op-ed novel, explains the idea of literary populism, advocates for the engagement of novelists in the public debates of historical and national meaning, and discusses some most noteworthy examples of Spanish op-ed novelists.   Bécquer Seguín is an assistant professor of Iberian studies at Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches the literary, cultural, and political history of modern Spain. He is a regular contributor to The Nation, where he has been reporting on Spain since 2015, and has written for Slate, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and Public Books, where he co-edits the literature in translation and sports sections. The Op-Ed Novel is his first book.

How do narratives shape our understanding of shared human experiences like dignity and respect? And, in what ways can an emphasis on human universals through inclusive narratives help fulfill fundamental human desires for dignity and respect?In this episode of This Anthro Life, we explore these questions through a discussion with sociologist Michele Lamont and her research on narratives and society. Lamont's concept of "ordinary universalism" focuses narrative frameworks on common aspects of human dignity and respect rather than divisions. Evidence shows these universal needs are fundamentally sought. Generational attitudes found Gen Z prioritizes authentic self-expression and inclusion through exploring shared experiencesIn addition, Michele's research offers a unique perspective on societal trends through the lens of ordinary universalism. We also explore how Gen Z is leading the way towards a more inclusive culture and the role of narratives in driving philanthropic and political action. Michele's examples demonstrate narrative's power to recognize structural barriers to dignity and mobilize action by cultivating understanding of our humanity. The episode emphasizes inclusive narratives to shape understanding and fulfillment of our common needs through storytelling.Join us for an enlightening discussion on understanding and embracing the perspectives of others.

From Barbie and the Super Models to Beyonce and Taylor, women and the influence they have on culture and the economy are being seen and talked about everywhere. Since here at Speaking Your Brand we're all about amplifying and championing women's voices and advocating for gender equality, we figured it was time to give our own hot takes. Along with all the positive gains women have made, we know that there has also been a considerable backlash, both culturally and legally, most noticeably in the overturning of Roe v. Wade last year and in the states that have since passed laws restricting women's reproductive health care rights. It's easy (and accurate) to blame lawmakers and voters who vocally support such restrictions and want to turn the tide back. But what about those who do support women yet do so in myopic ways? That's why I call "country club feminism." In this episode, Diane Diaz and I talk about: The “rad trad” movement on TikTok and what it means about feminism How we define feminism The Barbie movie, from the visual impact to the satire to the overt feminist message Taylor Swift and the backlash she's receiving for being a powerful, independent woman as she's dating an NFL player The new documentary “The Super Models” on AppleTV+ and what it says about female beauty and power What we're calling “country club feminism”,  how it reinforces the status quo, and what to do instead Clearly, we are using our voices and that's what we want you to do too!

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 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.

All the Lonely People with Ryan Streeter and Francie BroghammerWhy is it, in the midst of relative peace and prosperity, we are increasingly alienated, lonely, and depressed? Even before we lived through a global pandemic, we were (and are) living through a deadly loneliness epidemic.In this conversation Ryan Streeter and Francie Broghammer join us to wrestle with tough questions such as how to think about reinvigorating relational and community ties that encourage the flourishing of both the individual and the body politic.We discuss the antidotes to isolation in a time of pandemic and strive to find hope for connecting lonely people in a divided and polarized nation: Loneliness is the subjective feeling of being alone. You can feel alone in a crowded room. And so this is important that we highlight because what happens when you start feeling that way is that not far from there is this inability to find meaning in your life and daily actions. - Francie BroghammerWe hope this conversation on America's epidemic of loneliness and the path towards meaningful connection inspires you to consider how you can further cultivate enduring friendships and engage with your community.Our podcast is an edited version of an Online Conversation with Ryan and Francie from April, 2021.

Jürgen Habermas (sinh 18 tháng 6 năm 1929) là một nhà xã hội học và triết học người Đức. Ông nổi tiếng với các đóng góp về lý thuyết phê phán (critical theory) và chủ nghĩa thực dụng (pragmatism). Ông được biết đến với nghiên cứu về khái niệm không gian công (public sphere) trong tác phẩm Sự biến đổi mang tính cấu trúc của không gian công (The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere). Các tác phẩm của ông tập trung vào cơ sở của lý thuyết xã hội và nhận thức luận, những phân tích về các xã hội tư bản tiên tiến và nền dân chủ, pháp quyền trong phạm vi phát triển văn hóa-xã hội và chính trị đương thời, đặc biệt là chính trị Đức. Hệ thống lý thuyết của Habermas chú trọng vào việc đưa ra khả năng của nguyên nhân, sự giải phóng, và sự giao tiếp lý trí-phê phán ẩn trong những thể chế hiện đại và trong năng lực của con người để giải phóng và theo đuổi những lợi ích lý trí. Sách nói Những Nhà Tư Tưởng Lớn - Habermas Trong 60 Phút sẽ cung cấp cho bạn những thông tin ngắn gọn và dễ hiểu nhất về Habermas cùng tư tưởng triết học của ông.--Về Fonos:Fonos là Ứng dụng âm thanh số - Với hơn 3.000+ nội dung gồm Sách nói có bản quyền, Ebook, Tóm tắt sách, Thiền định, Truyện ngủ, Nhạc chủ đề, Truyện thiếu nhi.

We are wrapping up our podcast series on Using Your Voice with a very special guest. Sharon McMahon is a former high school government and law teacher whose Instagram went viral in 2020 (she now has over 1 million followers!) and who is the host of the podcast Here's Where it Gets Interesting.  Sharon is “on a mission to combat political misinformation by sharing non-partisan facts about the US government and democracy.”  Our lead speaking coach Diane Diaz is a super fan of Sharon and has been following her since the 2020 election season.  Diane reached out to Sharon who graciously agreed to chat with Diane and share with us how she started using her voice where she was with what she knew.

Sharon's journey is a remarkable reminder that our voice has the potential to create lasting change. She believes we must shed the belief that our contributions are insignificant and instead embrace the power we hold to shape our world.  We hope you'll feel inspired by Sharon to find your courage, use your voice, and engage in meaningful action so that you have a bigger impact in the world!   About Our Guest: Sharon McMahon is on a mission to curate facts, fun, and inspiration by educating Americans on democracy, politics, and history.

Like it or not, we are stuck online. Digital life is a reflection and extension of life offline–if we can even talk about life offline anymore. It's not like the old days of logging on and logging off. We are constantly connected. Our social, political, and economic lives are bound up with the digital world. So is our public sphere. And much of that world is controlled by a handful of very wealthy, very powerful tech giants.Digital space presents several significant challenges to the public good. Dis- and misinformation, domestic and foreign. Toxicity by way of name-calling, hate speech, and bullying. Economic exploitation, asymmetrical access, class divides. Doxxing and hacking. Even the threat of physical violence. It's pretty grim stuff. In light of these challenges, how can we build a healthier digital public sphere?On this episode of Open to Debate, host David Moscrop talks with Taylor Owen, Beaverbrook Chair in Media, Ethics and Communications, the founding director of The Center for Media, Technology and Democracy, and an Associate Professor in the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University.

In Communism's Public Sphere: Culture as Politics in Cold War Poland and East Germany (Cornell University Press, 2022), historian Kyrill Kunakhovich explores communist Poland and East Germany as laboratories of a transnational “cultural public sphere.” Under regimes that banned free speech, political expression shifted to spaces of art: theaters, galleries, concert halls, and youth clubs. Kyrill Kunakhovich shows how these venues turned into sites of dialogue and contestation. While officials used them to spread the communist message, artists and audiences often flouted state policy and championed alternative visions. Focusing on Kraków in Poland and Leipzig in East Germany, Communism's Public Sphere sheds new light on state-society interactions in the Eastern Bloc. In place of the familiar trope of domination and resistance, it highlights unexpected symbioses like state-sponsored rock and roll, socialist consumerism, and sanctioned dissent. Piotr H. Kosicki is Associate Professor of History at the University of Maryland, College Park. He is the author of Catholics on the Barricades (Yale, 2018) and editor, among others, of Political Exile in the Global Twentieth Century (with Wolfram Kaiser). Learn more about your ad choices.

Ultra-Orthodox legislators in Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government this week tabled bills seeking gender segregated swimming hours at springs in Israel's national parks and nature reserves, and a ban on bringing leavened products into hospitals during the Passover holiday, when consumption of such foods is forbidden under Jewish religious law.  Opposition politicians and pluralism activists condemned the moves, saying they would deepen rifts in Israeli society. Uri Keidar, executive director of Yisrael Hofsheet, Be Free Israel, an organization that supports religious freedom and pluralism, says such initiatives represent a wave of religious coercion that was expected as soon as the makeup of the current government was known. He told KAN reporter Naomi Segal that this agenda does not have broad public support, and he believes there will be pushback. (Photo: Illustrative.
