May 3rd marks World Press Freedom Day. This year especially, press freedom is under threat in the United States from a range of directions: from hostile official rhetoric and actions to self-censorship and systemic appeasement, to just basic information overload. As the Trump administration continues to “flood the zone,” how can we assess individual developments to discern broader trends that might help us better understand what's happening, its impact and what we can do about it?  Just Security Executive Editor and Professor of Law at American University, Rebecca Hamilton, joins Just Security Washington Senior Editor, Viola Gienger, to discuss how to grapple with the onslaught of news developments in the field of press freedom and discern broader trends. Show Notes:  Rebecca Hamilton's “The Trump Administration's Use of State Power: Keeping Track of the Big Picture” (May 2, 2025) Rebecca Hamilton's “Connecting the Dots: Trump's Tightening Grip on Press Freedom” (Feb. 6, 2025)   Just Security's Coverage of Trump Administration Executive Actions Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

A Free ranging discussion of freedom of the press.Dictators hate a free press. Victor Orbán in Hungary built his own media universe while simultaneously dismantling the free press. The Nazis smashed printing presses of opposition newspapers. One of Trump's first actions was to dictate who would cover him in the White House and on Air Force One and refuse to allow the Associated Press admittance to press briefings. Social media and press giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk control or rather eliminate control over truthfulness of content placed on Facebook and X; Jeff Bezos, owner of the Washington Post, stated he will not print opinions that oppose his subservience to Donald Trump.My guest today on Specifically for Seniors is Rebecca Hamilton a Professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law. Her research and teaching focus is on national security law, technology, international law, and criminal law. Her scholarship draws on her experience in the prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court, as well as her journalism background, including work in conflict zones as a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post. She is the author of FIGHTING FOR DARFUR: PUBLIC ACTION AND THE STRUGGLE TO STOP GENOCIDE, which analyzes citizen activism and the effort to stop mass atrocities.Rebecca and I talk about the First Amendment, control of media by billionaires who wish to control thought, Trump and his efforts to interfere with public access to the news, the punishment of non-profits and universities, the constitution crisis we are experiencing, law firm, academic freedom and what we as citizens can do.Links to interviewshttps://www.justsecurity.org/107377/trump-control-us-media-information/https://www.justsecurity.org/109439/collective-law-firms-universities-media/ Also - on a different note - The joy that is becoming a hearing aid userhttps://slate.com/technology/2024/10/hearing-aids-loss-sudden-deafness-apple-airpods.html

Rebecca continues our lenten series, deeper still, exploring how we go deeper in our connection to Jesus through Prayer & Fasting.

This week, Rebecca looks at the theme of the Kingdom of God in the book of Matthew. We trace the kingdom throughout the Old Testament and what it means for Jesus to announce it and invite us to follow Him and how it's the place where true human flourishing can be found.

Rebecca wraps up our series on the bible, exploring how it is the lens by which we see and make sense of the world around us.

Earlier this fall, three Pacific Island States – Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa – formally proposed adding ecocide as a crime that can be heard and punished by the International Criminal Court, which can currently try individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression.Any change to the ICC's Rome Statute, particularly adding a new international crime, would require a massive level of diplomatic coordination and negotiation. But the future crime might hold individuals criminally accountable for severe environmental damage, such as massive oil or chemical spills or the destruction of rainforests. In the meantime, what does the ecocide proposal mean in practice? How might it potentially impact our understanding of ongoing destruction of the environment and the role of international criminal law? Joining the show to unpack the ecocide proposal are Naima Fifita, Rebecca Hamilton, and Kate Mackintosh.  Naima is a lawyer from Tuvalu. She is the Executive Director of the Institute for Climate and Peace. Bec is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor of Law at American University. Kate is Executive Director of the UCLA Law Promise Institute Europe, and Deputy Co-Chair of the Independent Expert Panel on the Legal Definition of Ecocide.  Show Notes:  Naima FifitaRebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton) Kate Mackintosh (@Katemackintosh2)Paras Shah (@pshah518) Just Security's expert round up article “Why Criminalize Ecocide?

Rebecca wraps up our series on Justice, diving into so practices by which we can model lives which usher in the Kingdom Justice of God.

What does it mean for us to be a people who pursue Justice? Rebecca opens up our new teaching series fixing our eyes on Jesus, exploring a true biblical vision for lives.

Rebecca continues our summer series on the life & ministry of Jesus in Mark's Gospel. She explored Jesus' sending out of the twelve apostles in chapter 6; how he called them in, gave them his authority and sent them out in full dependence.

On June 24, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two top Russian officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Prosecutors allege that Sergei Shoigu, Russia's former defense minister, and Valery Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, directed missile strikes against Ukraine's power plants and electrical infrastructure. Russian attacks on Ukraine's power plants during the winter of 2022-2023 left 12 million people with limited or no access to energy and severely damaged Ukraine's health care system. Just how might the arrest warrants influence the war?  Joining the show to discuss the arrest warrants and their potential impact are Kateryna Busol and Rebecca Hamilton. Kateryna is a Ukrainian lawyer and an Associate Professor at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Rebecca is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor of Law at American University.  Show Notes: Kateryna Busol (@KaterynaBusol)Rebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton)Paras Shah (@pshah518) Just Security's symposium “International Law in the Face of Russia's Aggression in Ukraine: The View from Lviv” Fionnuala Ní Aoláin's Just Security article “A Zone of Silence: Obstetric Violence in Gaza and Beyond” and Podcast episode with Paras and Viola Gienger “Harm to Women in War Goes Beyond Sexual Violence: `Obstetric Violence' Neglected” Just Security's International Law coverageJust Security's Russia-Ukraine War coverageMusic: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

Continuing our People of Purpose series, Rebecca explores what the Biblical narrative tells us about how humans were created in the image of God to partner with Him to create and live creative lives in the world around.

On Monday, May 20, International Criminal Court head Prosecutor Karim Khan announced that he has submitted an application to the Court's judges to issue arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Defence of Israel, and three Hamas leaders, including Yahya Sinwar, for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The allegations are extensive, as discussed in a lengthy statement released by the Prosecutor, although the application itself is not yet public.  The decision has major implications for the devastating conflict still raging in Gaza; and for how the Court interacts with nations across the world. In Washington, the arrest warrants are certain to threaten recent increased cooperation with the Court, and efforts to prosecute Russian officials for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine could also be jeopardized. Joining the show to discuss Khan's request and its potential consequences are Todd Buchwald, Tom Dannenbaum, and Rebecca Hamilton. Todd formerly served as Ambassador and Special Coordinator for the State Department's Office of Global Criminal Justice. Tom is an Associate Professor of International Law at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he is also Co-Director of the Center for International Law and Governance.

Last month, Europe's top human rights court issued a major decision in the fight against climate change. In KlimaSeniorinnen v. Switzerland, the highest chamber of the European Court of Human Rights found that the Swiss government has violated the human rights of its citizens by not doing enough to address the threat of climate change. The decision is a landmark ruling for activists, lawyers, and communities who are trying to use human rights law to hold governments accountable for promises to fight global warming. But it's not the only case asking what international law requires of nations when it comes to protecting the environment. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the International Court of Justice are all grappling with similar questions.What do these cases mean for the fight against climate change? Where are the opportunities and risks? Joining the show to discuss the “Year of Climate” in international courts and tribunals are Naima Fifita and Joana Setzer. Naima is a lawyer from Tuvalu who has taken an active role in proceedings by small island nations before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Joana is an Associate Professorial Research Fellow at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Show Notes: Naima FifitaJoana Setzer (@JoanaSetzer)Paras Shah (@pshah518) Rebecca Hamilton's Just Security article “The ‘Year of Climate' in International Courts” Just Security's Climate Change coverageJust Security's International Law coverageMusic: “The Parade” by “Hey Pluto!” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-parade (License code: 36B6ODD7Y6ODZ3BX)Music: “Curiosity” by “All Good Folks” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/curiosity (License code: X6SN2UGIWYHPDJGF) 

Looking at Saul's encounter with Jesus in Acts 9, Rebecca explores the importance of knowing the season of discipleship that we are in & how we can find God in the midst.

In the two years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, the fighting has caused widespread horror and devastation. Over 10,000 civilians have been killed and more than half a million people injured. Still millions of others are internally displaced, seeking refuge abroad, or are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The idea of war – and how to prevent it – was a central concern when 51 nations came together to form the United Nations over seven decades ago. Russia's invasion of Ukraine poses deep challenges to the international rules-based order and raises complex questions of international law, not only for Ukraine, but for nations around the world.In partnership with the Ukrainian Association of International Law, which worked with other stakeholders such as the Ukrainian Bar Association, the American Society of International Law helped to convene a gathering of international lawyers in Lviv, Ukraine in December 2023. Lviv was home to three giants in the field of international law: Hersch Lauterpacht, Rafael Lemkin, and Louis Sohn. Lauterpacht developed the concept of crimes against humanity, Lemkin pioneered the term “genocide,” and pushed for the adoption of the U.N. Genocide Convention, and Sohn played a pivotal role in helping to conceptualize article 51 of the U.N. Charter on the right of self-defense. Many of those who gathered in Lviv are now sharing their reflections on the meeting in a Just Security symposium. Joining the show to discuss the symposium are four of its editors, Kateryna Busol, Olga Butkevych, Rebecca Hamilton, and Gregory Shaffer.  Kateryna is a Ukrainian lawyer and an Associate Professor at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Olga is President of the Ukrainian Association of International Law and Chaired Professor of Law at Kyiv's National University of Taras Shevchenko. Rebecca is an Executive Editor at Just Security and a Professor of Law at American University, Washington College of Law. Greg is the Scott K Ginsburg Professor of International Law at Georgetown University Law Center and the President of the American Society of International Law. Show Notes:  Kateryna Busol (@KaterynaBusol)Olga ButkevychRebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton)Gregory Shaffer (@gregorycshaffer) Paras Shah (@pshah518) Just Security's symposium “International Law in the Face of Russia's Aggression in Ukraine: The View from Lviv” Patryk I.

Darfur's years of systematic violence left the international community outraged – along with a few celebrities. And many of them tried to do something. They tried to save Darfur. At its peak, the Save Darfur movement would be an alliance of more than 190 faith-based organizations from many countries, a reported one million activists, and hundreds of community groups. But by 2016, the movement shut down. So, why did the movement fail – and what does it mean for the violence unleashed in Darfur today? This is the second of a two-part series on the crisis happening in Darfur.

Rebecca Hamilton and Tajedin Abdalla Adam come on the podcast to explain what is going on in Sudan and Darfur and how the International Criminal Court might come into play

As fighting in Sudan enters its third week, rival generals have turned the country's capital, Khartoum, into a warzone. Mohamed Hamdan, better known as Hemedti, and his paramilitary Rapid Support Forces are fighting with Abdel Fatah al-Burhan, who leads the Sudanese Armed Forces. For years, Burhan and Hemedti have wrestled for power and control of Sudan. But until now, they've been on the same side. In 2019, they teamed up to remove the country's long-time President Omar al-Bashir from power. And in 2021, they toppled the civilian government for military rule. The latest fighting is a clash between two men, but it's also the latest chapter in Sudan's long fight for freedom. To help us understand the conflict, what it means for the people of Sudan, and how it will impact the region, we have Quscondy Abdulshafi, Suliman Baldo, and Rebecca Hamilton. Quscondy is a Senior Regional Advisor at the nonprofit organization Freedom House. He has over a decade of experience working on human rights and peacebuilding in Sudan and East Africa. Suliman is the Executive Director of the Sudan Transparency and Policy Tracker, an organization that develops investigation and analysis of corruption in Sudan, led by Sudanese voices. Rebecca is a law professor at American University. But before that, she covered Sudan as a reporter for the Washington Post. Rebecca is also a member of Just Security's Editorial Board. Show Notes: Quscondy Abdulshafi (@Qabdulshafi)Suliman BaldoRebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton)Sudan Transparency and Policy TrackerSuliman's Just Security article on how the international community can respond to the conflictJust Security's Sudan coverage32:35 NYU's American Journalism Online ProgramMusic: “The Parade” by “Hey Pluto!” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-parade (License code: 36B6ODD7Y6ODZ3BX)Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

On Friday, March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court announced that it had issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Commissioner for Children's Rights. The Court said it had “reasonable grounds to believe” that Putin was responsible for unlawfully transferring and unlawfully deporting children from occupied Ukrainian territory into Russia. The arrest warrants are a major legal and diplomatic development in Russia's illegal war against Ukraine. To discuss what the arrest warrants mean, we have Rebecca Hamilton, a law professor at American University and a member of Just Security's Editorial Board. She has seen these issues firsthand as a former prosecutor at the Court.  Show Notes: Rebecca Hamilton (@bechamilton) Rebecca's Just Security article analyzing the Putin arrest warrantThe International Criminal Court's press release announcing the arrest warrantsYale University Humanitarian Research Lab and U.S. State Department study on the deportation of Ukrainian children Music: “The Parade” by “Hey Pluto!” from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-parade (License code: 36B6ODD7Y6ODZ3BX)Music: “Broken” by David Bullard from Uppbeat: https://uppbeat.io/t/david-bullard/broken (License code: OSC7K3LCPSGXISVI)

The democracy beat is all the rage in news coverage. But the press needs to do more than follow current events. As the “fourth estate,” independent news works in a system of checks and balances. At its best, the press can hold government accountable to the people. And so, the way it covers democracy and dictatorships matters. That reporting informs the way we vote and how all of us, as people, understand the world.To discuss how the press can better report on diverse communities and cooperate globally we have Erin Carroll and Rebecca Hamilton. Erin and Rebecca are both journalists turned law professors. Erin teaches classes on technology and the press, as well as legal research and writing at Georgetown Law. Rebecca teaches criminal law, national security, and international law at American University.

I started Chick Boss Cake as a hobby at first and ran it out of my tiny apartment kitchen. Eventually, word spread and I realized I loved both making and eating desserts. Part of what makes us unique ties into our slogan “it's not about the cake”. While many of our customers will say we have the best cake in town, for us it's about the community we have and the opportunity to bring people together. The cake and desserts are just the way we create experiences that bring people together.  I'm not formally trained in baking or business. I dropped out of high school at 16 and have self-educated along the way. It's been a lot of trial and error. But I have always infused a lot of my personality into the brand which gives us an authenticity that I believe has helped us attract the best customers and staff. That makes it easy for me to show up every day and be myself and attract like-minded people.  Technology plays a huge role in the success of our business. We automate tasks, keep things organized, and make the customer experience as seamless as possible. No matter what business you are in, you should be leveraging technology. You don't have to be a tech expert either, you just have to start somewhere and grow from there. I'm a hands-on learner so I dove in and built our website myself on Shopify and added a little popup that shows when someone buys something because social proof is so important. Our use of technology is what saved our business during COVID.  We have 3 stores today in the suburbs around Toronto and we're working on our 4th location. Our overall revenue is $1.3 million which I'm proud of because that is a lot of cake. The approach we use when opening new stores is we want to create fans in that market before we even open a location. We do that through our online store and delivery model so that by the time we open a store, we have long lines – because customers in the area have already been able to order online. That approach I believe has helped us be successful once we do open a new location.  While I never had a formal education, I love learning. I read a lot of books, listen to tons of podcasts, go to business conferences, watch YouTube videos, and do anything I can to put myself in a position to learn from others. I emphasized doing what I love and then I go find the information on how to do it. If I can figure it out, anyone can do it – which is why on my podcast I will call people out when they start making excuses. Excuses aren't going to get you anywhere. If you find yourself getting stuck it's probably because you're making excuses.  Resources Shared: Chick Boss CakeRebecca Hamilton Co.ShopifyMailchimpThe Million Dollar Bakery by Rebecca HamiltonScrap The Sweet Talk PodcastThryv

Rebecca Hamilton continues our current teaching series, Streams in the Wasteland.

I started Chick Boss Cake as a hobby at first and ran it out of my tiny apartment kitchen. Eventually, word spread and I realized I loved both making and eating desserts. Part of what makes us unique ties into our slogan “it's not about the cake”. While many of our customers will say we have the best cake in town, for us it's about the community we have and the opportunity to bring people together. The cake and desserts are just the way we create experiences that bring people together.  I'm not formally trained in baking or business. I dropped out of high school at 16 and have self-educated along the way. It's been a lot of trial and error. But I have always infused a lot of my personality into the brand which gives us an authenticity that I believe has helped us attract the best customers and staff. That makes it easy for me to show up every day and be myself and attract like-minded people.  Technology plays a huge role in the success of our business. We automate tasks, keep things organized, and make the customer experience as seamless as possible. No matter what business you are in, you should be leveraging technology. You don't have to be a tech expert either, you just have to start somewhere and grow from there. I'm a hands-on learner so I dove in and built our website myself on Shopify and added a little popup that shows when someone buys something because social proof is so important. Our use of technology is what saved our business during COVID.  We have 3 stores today in the suburbs around Toronto and we're working on our 4th location. Our overall revenue is $1.3 million which I'm proud of because that is a lot of cake. The approach we use when opening new stores is we want to create fans in that market before we even open a location. We do that through our online store and delivery model so that by the time we open a store, we have long lines – because customers in the area have already been able to order online. That approach I believe has helped us be successful once we do open a new location.  While I never had a formal education, I love learning. I read a lot of books, listen to tons of podcasts, go to business conferences, watch YouTube videos, and do anything I can to put myself in a position to learn from others. I emphasized doing what I love and then I go find the information on how to do it. If I can figure it out, anyone can do it – which is why on my podcast I will call people out when they start making excuses. Excuses aren't going to get you anywhere. If you find yourself getting stuck it's probably because you're making excuses.  Resources Shared: Chick Boss CakeRebecca Hamilton Co.ShopifyMailchimpThe Million Dollar Bakery by Rebecca HamiltonScrap The Sweet Talk PodcastThryv

Todd Church and Rebecca Hamilton are "half-full" kind of people. The two middle school teachers from Elyria Schools have embraced the new skills and technology know-how they acquired during the pandemic with virtual learning. Church teaches at Westwood Middle School and Hamilton, at Northwood Middle School. The two collaborated on a pilot virtual class about leadership during the 2020-2021 school year. On the last day of the school year, we caught up with these  two teachers on Petey Podcast to talk about the expansion of this popular class, Foundations of Leadership, in the 2021-2022 school year.  The semester course is offered to 7th grade students. "It's a positive environment and the kids appreciate the class," Church said. "It's very applicable to kids their age. The feedback has been very good." From an education perspective, both teachers agree the class has been exceptional and will carry on this school year, offering real-time classroom lessons and virtual meet ups with proven leaders in business, sports and in life.  Church and Hamilton bring their own leadership skills to the table and set a great example last year of overcoming obstacles. "I'm doing things now that no way would I have done before last year," Church said. "It's a mindset. As difficult as it was, coming out of this we're going to have a lot of new tools to work with. It's gonna be fun."

Bard MBA graduates Sam Levine and Alex FitzGerald spoke recently with Rebecca Hamilton about Badger's business model and how it goes beyond the B Corps standard. Hamilton is a co-owner and the vice president of research and development at Badger, where she sources new raw materials and oversees the sustainability and quality of Badger's supply chain, among other responsibilities. She is also involved in safe cosmetics legislation and toxic chemical reform and has served as the chair of the Natural Products Association National Personal Care Steering Committee. As of January, there were 1,000 certified B Corps — companies certified by the B Lab, a nonprofit, to create social and environmental benefits — in the U.S. alone. This number is even more impressive when you realize that fewer than two years ago, there were only 1,000 B Corps worldwide. Badger, a family-owned, mission-driven certified B Corp company nestled in the woods of Gilsum, New Hampshire, exemplifies and extends the B Corps model. The company was started by Bill Whyte in 1995 when, as a carpenter working in the cold New Hampshire winters, he created a balm that helped his cracked hands. The company has grown to over 100 personal care products and 60 employees. Honored this year as a "Best for the World" and "Best for the Environment" B Corp, Badger scored in the top 10 percent of all businesses on the B Impact Assessment, the gold standard of corporate responsibility metrics.  

A Better Balm Introducing Rebecca Hamilton and W. S. Badger Company There are no better products than those developed out of a dire need. That was exactly how today's guest, Rebecca Hamilton, product Badger Balm was created. Badger Balm is a family business and B-Corp that was founded in 1995 by Rebecca's father Bill. Bill was a serial entrepreneur and carpenter who needed something to sooth his cracked hands after working outside in the cold New Hampshire winters. Today, Badger has a number of organic body care products and Rebecca is the company's co-owner and vice president of innovation & social impact. Badger has a commitment to sustainable sourcing and building true one-on-one relationships with the producers of their ingredients. Not only does this create a product that is top-notch, but also it humanizes their supply chain and gives every product and its ingredients a story that must be told. Check out this week's episode to see how sustainable sourcing and relationship building can develop a product that has a great story and you can be proud to use. Also, check out this episode for insights on how a successful family business can be run.   In this episode Greg tells us about his daughter, Kaiya's love for Earth Day and Badger's products. Rebecca tells us why each Badger product has a different whimsical design. We learn why Badger was a great fit to becoming a B-Corp. Rebecca tells us how the company was developed and how it has progressed over the years. We talk about the importance of sustainable sourcing and how shortening the supply chain and making long-lasting relationships with suppliers can help your business. We learn the story behind the olive oil that Badger sources, the story behind it, and why the decision was made to use it. Rebecca highlights the power of humanizing the supply chain and doing business transparently. We also discuss family businesses and how to run one effectively. Rebecca tells us how leadership coaching helped her family work great in business and in the home. Dave appreciates Rebecca's thoughtful approach and learned a great deal on how the family business can effectively run. Greg talks about his experience doing the B-Corp assessment for Hemmings House Pictures. He also talks about how there are so many great products out in the market but when you see a B-Corp stamp it means that you are buying from a company that is measuring their impact.   Links - Rebecca on Twitter - Rebecca on Linked In - The Badger Website - Badger on Facebook  - Badger on Twitter - Badger on You Tube - B Corporation   Learn more about your ad choices.

When it comes to promises made by social movements, human rights scholar Rebecca Hamilton has heard it all. “Share this Facebook link and you can save the life of a child in Uganda. Wear this bracelet and you can bring peace to Darfur,” she recalls. “The problem is most of the time, it’s simply not true that doing a low-cost action can be very high value to somebody somewhere else.”

South Sudan is in a tailspin. On July 9, the country commemorated its 4th anniversary of independence but it was hardly a celebration. Since December 2013 the country has been in a freefall stemming from when a political dispute between President Salva kiir and his rival Riek Machar turned into open conflict and civil war. Millions have been forced from their homes, a famine might loom over the country, and there is no end in sight.  Here to help explain how things went so badly, so quickly for this young country is Rebecca Hamilton. She's the author of the book Fighting for Darfur and professor at Columbia University's Law School.  Rebecca does a great job explaining the wider regional context of this conflict; and also showing how a government that was once championed by the USA fell out of favor with the Obama administration.     

Scott Guggenheim is the most influential development expert that you've never heard of. The writer Rebecca Hamilton sits in for Mark today and interviews Guggenheim about his pioneering model of community driven economic development. This model has critics, but it was proven effective -- of all places -- in Afghanistan in the height of the insurgency. Guggenheim tells Hamilton how this model works, how he came up with it, his friendship with Ashraf Ghani, and his career as a maverick World Banker.   

The conflict that erupted in Sudan's Darfur region a decade ago was at first largely ignored. Then it was the subject of intense media coverage and an unprecedented campaign of grassroots citizen activism. Then it was ignored again. The only constant? The suffering of the people of Darfur. Former BBC Sudan Correspondant James Copnall, journalist and human rights lawyer Rebecca Hamilton, Sudanese American freelance journalist Isma’il Kushkush, and former Nairobi bureau chief of The Washington Post Emily Wax discuss the developments in Sudan's Darfur at the Pulitzer Center in Washington, DC on March 20, 2013. This panel of distinguished journalists discussed a decade of media development in the region, how citizen activists and governments in Khartoum and Washington influenced reporting, and lessons to be learned.
