Courtney Davis Curtis is the Assistant Vice President of Risk Management and Resilience Planning at the University of Chicago. She was also named RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2022, 2020 Business Insurance Women to Watch, 2017 Business Insurance Break Out, and received the 2015 Risk & Insurance Power Broker award. In this episode, Courtney shares her journey as an insurance professional, what a risk manager has to think about when there's a university under their care, and her next steps as a seasoned insurance and risk professional.   Key Takeaways: A little bit about Courtney and her role at the University of Chicago. When COVID-19 first hit, what was Courtney's approach to keeping her students safe? How did Courtney find herself in insurance? Higher education institutions can end up being the highest employer in a city. If you think about it, they're like mini-cities in themselves. Protesting can be part of a university's culture. How does a risk manager think about protests in terms of risks? When it comes to risk managers, the answer is often “no” when you want to do something new. However, it's important to work with partners to get to a “yes.” Everything we do has an inherent risk to it. Why is Courtney so passionate about the insurance industry? Has Courtney ever thought about going back to being a broker? Courtney recommends really diving deep into a topic and getting your hands dirty so that you can shorten the gap and become an expert in that field quicker. How important are CPCU certifications and what has Courtney's experience been like so far with it? Is the insurance industry still a male-dominated field? Mentorship and support are critical pieces of getting more diversity into the insurance space. What do younger generations need to be mindful of? Courtney won the risk manager of the year award. What was that like? What's next for Courtney? What gets her the most excited?   Mentioned in This Episode: Urmia.org Courtney on LinkedIn White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color, by Ruby Hamad

Called “powerful and provocative" by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, author of the New York Times bestselling How to be an Antiracist, Ruby Hamad's White Tears/Brown Scars: How White Feminism Betrays Women of Color (Catapult, 2020) is a breakthrough work of history and cultural criticism. The book reveals how white feminism has been used as a weapon of white supremacy and patriarchy deployed against Black and Indigenous women, and women of color.  Taking us from the slave era, when white women fought in court to keep “ownership” of their slaves, through the centuries of colonialism, when they offered a soft face for brutal tactics, to the modern workplace, White Tears/Brown Scars tells a charged story of white women's active participation in campaigns of oppression. It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color. Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio–Cortez, the viral BBQ Becky video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront.  Connect with Ruby Hamad (she/hers) @rubyhamadwriter on Instagram and click here to read Ruby's breakaway opinion piece for The Guardian.

Our host, Jillian Foster, speaks with Ruby about how her book leverages a global perspective using academic research, while turning it into a more accessible discussion.

Boeken van maand maart In een nieuwe aflevering van podcast Radio Savannah kletsen Lola en Suzanne jullie bij over nieuws uit de winkel en introduceren de boeken van de maand maart. Deze maand zijn dat White Tears, Black Scars van Ruby Hamad en Het lied van de goden van Reggie Baay. In de podcast verwijzen we naar dit artikel van Ruby Hamad in the Guardian over haar verkenning van 'white tears' in het dagelijks leven, en naar dit interview op OVT waarin Reggie Baay vertelt over zijn roman en zijn onderzoek.

It offers a long overdue validation of the experiences of women of color. Discussing subjects as varied as The Hunger Games, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the viral "BBQ Becky" video, and 19th century lynchings of Mexicans in the American Southwest, Ruby Hamad undertakes a new investigation of gender and race. She shows how the division between innocent white women and racialized, sexualized women of color was created, and why this division is crucial to confront. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Het lied van de goden is het aangrijpende verhaal van de tot slaafgemaakte Flora van Makassar, die in de 18e eeuw als jong meisje in Oost-Indië wordt geroofd en door een voc-koopman wordt meegenomen naar de republiek. Door wanhoop, ontheemding en eenzaamheid gedreven wordt Flora steeds opstandiger en wordt ze zonder pardon op straat gezet en aan haar lot overgelaten. Dan volgt voor Flora een zwervend bestaan in een onbekende, gevaarlijke, witte wereld, dat eindigt in opsluiting in een Amsterdams tuchthuis. Parallel aan haar geschiedenis loopt die van de regent van het tuchthuis, Joachim van der Elst. Een man met een tomeloze ambitie. De wegen van Flora en Van der Elst kruisen elkaar op verschillende manieren. Flora vertrouwt de lijdensweg die ze heeft afgelegd aan het papier toe. Dit zal leiden tot de roemloze ondergang van Van der Elst. Het lied van de goden is op feiten gebaseerd en geeft een beeld van de nog relatief onbekende slavernij in de Oost en het tragische lot van de tot slaafgemaakten raakt die destijds legaal en illegaal werden meegenomen en in Nederland aan hun einde kwamen.

Episode 17: Whiteness and feminism – Ruby Hamad’s first book tackles the power of white tears – how have white women wielded their innocence against women of colour and how has that ‘innocence’ been used to buttress white supremacy? The Washington Post described it as “a stunning and thorough look at White womanhood that should be required reading for anyone.” WHITE TEARS/BROWN SCARS traces the role that White Womanhood and feminism have played in the development of Western power structures and was inspired by her 2018 Guardian article ‘How White Women Use Strategic Tears to Silence Women of Colour’ which became a global flashpoint for discussions of race and gender. In this episode, we explore white feminism, the limits of feminist solidarity and the weaponisation of tears.

This episode features non-fiction writer Ruby Hamad about persuasive writing, cultural critique, and how to weather the storms of public opinion while holding on to your writerly hat. Ruby is a journalist, author, and academic, currently completing her PhD in media studies at UNSW. She's a former columnist at Fairfax's Daily Life where she wrote about issues as varied as feminism, veganism, and Middle East politics. She's also written for The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, Crikey, SBS, and The New York Times. Her Guardian Australia article, headlined, “How White Women Use Strategic Tears to Silence Women of Colour” became a global flashpoint for discussions of white feminism and racism and grew into her first book, White Tears/Brown Scars. It was published in 2019 by Melbourne University Press, and will be released in North America and the UK later this year. This episode was recorded at Charlotte's house in inner Sydney, with its attendant suburban background soundtrack. Oh, and please enjoy Charlotte's embarrassing bungle in which she confuses Aristotle & Plato ...

White Tears/Brown Scars deconstructs archetypes including ‘damsel in distress’ and ‘angry brown woman’ to interrogate how race privilege allows white women to position women of colour as aggressors in times of conflict.

Welcome to part two of episode 5. In part two, Chrissie and I talk even more about communicating with a partner and how difficult it can be, Chrissie talks about how her and partner's sexual languages can be so different and how it is a continuous process to try and get on the same page. We also talk about shame, how she has conversations with her children around masturbation and how she plans on soon having the porn talk with them.We also talk about white privilege and we touch on gender issues. This conversation took place around 3 weeks ago, at the start of the latest wave of Black Lives Matter that was triggered by the tragic murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. This is an imperfect conversation between two white sisters, and it only provides a snapshot of what we covered. I didn't keep this part of our convo in the episode to educate anyone or to act as a spokesperson in any way. But normalising these conversations is extremely important, although the real work is doing it with people who aren't on the anti-racism journey yet. I myself am on a journey to be even more anti-racist, recognise and check my privilege, and use my resources to dismantle systemic racism and call out racist attitudes and behaviours.Reading list:Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Reni Eddo-Lodge,White Tears/Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad,Me and White Supremacy by Layla Saad,Mauri Ora by Peter Alsop and Te Raumawhitu Kupenga,@letsgetsexual.podcast

This week we bring you another from home Zoom panel! This week we are joined by Senior lecturer Dr Yasmine Musharbash. Dr Musharbash is currently based in the Northern territory and has research interests in monsters, sleep and death. Alex [1:44] starts us off this week by returning to a topic touched on in the last panel. He dives further into Saba Mahmood's work in the feminist space and asks, where does the individual exist in society? What does the conception of “individual” mean in other societies? Then, Jodie [8:13] takes us into the realm of vampires, teenage girls and fandoms. Jodie recently watched How Twilight Saved a Town: Fandom Uncovered, which is a documentary about the Twilight series. One particular quote stuck out: "We have a tendency as a society to absolutely hate, revile and treat with vitriol, anything that has to do with teenage girls. We hate their music, we hate their icons, we hate their fashion, we hate their behaviour, we hate everything about them." Through this quote, Jodie asks the strangers, why are some fandoms more “acceptable” than others? Does gender have a role to play in that acceptability or disdain? Next, Simon [13:53] references a conversation that happened over in our Facebook group. In the discussion, Ruby Hamad's book White Tears/Brown Scars whipped up questions of what constitutes whiteness? What is the nature of whiteness? Is it simply a skin colour? Or is it something much deeper and has much more far ranging effects in society today? What do you think? Finally, our guest this week, Dr Yasmine Murshabash [17:46] discusses how researchers have “hard” stories from the field and where the researcher fits into the stories they collected. Dr Murshabash had come up against this knotty problem when she was invited to a writing exercise. Dr Murshabash asks us to consider, how do you choose a story to tell? What makes a story “hard” to tell? Head over to our website to check out the links and citations from this episode! Don't forget to head over to our Facebook group The Familiar Strange Chats.

Bias and inequality are concepts that generate a great deal of debate. While they may often be popularly associated with one gender having power over another or one colour of skin being afforded more privileges, there is now an emerging body of literature on some of the more complex arguments to come out of the struggle e.g. what happens when race and gender collide, who gets to decide the ‘appropriate’ way to fight bias and how to break the pattern of inequality that is generational. This International Women’s Day Katherine, Nisa and Antonia look at some books from perspectives that haven’t always been heard. Books discussed include: A woman is no man / Etaf Rum. Harper Collins, Mar 2019 The seven necessary sins for women and girls / Mona Eltahawy. Hardie Grant, Oct 2019 White tears, brown scars / Ruby Hamad. Melbourne University Press, Sep 2019

This panel explores the intersectional discrimination that Indigenous, refugee,Muslim and women of colour experience when speaking their truth, with a focus on women writers who experience backlash as a result of speaking out against injustice.

From Elena Ferrante to Roxane Gay, in this episode Chloe and Emma talk about the many women who inspire them … and a few who enrage them. They take a historical tour of feminism from the first wave to the second, through the 1980s when feminism became *very comfortable with capitalism*, and up to the present day of #MeToo. After talking about feminist heroes of old, they ask: who should we be reading and listening to, to understand what feminism means today? (hint: it’s not Julie Bishop).[Note: Emma was pregnant at the time of recording ... but we are now delighted to welcome the newest, littlest feminist, and the reason for any future delays in releasing episodes, Baby Viv

Ruby Hamad refused to reveal her Arabic identity and her ability to speak the language outside of her home. It broke her father's heart. She explains how some second-generation Arab-Australians are “avoiding racism” and attempting to fit in, from a young age. - روبي حمد كانت ترفض الكشف عن هويتها العربية ومقدرتها على تحدث اللغة خارج المنزل، وهذا كما وصفته كسر قلب والدها ثلاث مرات وربما أكثر. واليوم تحكي لنا عن تجربة مشتركة بينها وبين الجيل الثاني من الشباب العربي الأسترالي، وكيف يحاولون منذ الصغر الاندماج في المجتمع الأوسع بشتى السبل المتاحة للشعور بالقبول وتفادي العنصرية.

Lebanese-Syrian writer, raised in Australia, Ruby Hamad, says privileged white women are using "white tears" to marginalise women of colour and shut down discussions about race and racism

Hella Ibrahim, Ruby Hamad and Celeste Liddle at the Wheeler Centre In 2018, Sydney journalist Ruby Hamad wrote an article for the Guardian that touched a nerve with readers around the world. The article, ‘How white women use strategic tears to silence women of colour,' was about the special and dangerous claims white women make to victimhood – in the workplace, in public debate, and in private interactions – and how these adversely affect and are wielded against women of colour. The ‘damsel in distress' tactic, Hamad wrote, is employed ‘to muster sympathy and avoid accountability, by turning the tables and accusing the accuser.' She has since adapted the article into a new book, White Tears/Brown Scars. Hosted by Hella Ibrahim, Hamad is joined at the Wheeler Centre by Arrernte activist and social commentator Celeste Liddle for a discussion about what happens when racism and sexism collide.

Writer Ruby Hamad’s bread and butter is tackling big issues like identity and intersectionality. As the daughter of Syrian-Lebanese refugees, Ruby has experienced the breadth of what it means to belong to a marginalised group in Australian society. She’s resisted cultural expectations from her family, fought discrimination in the work place, and the othering that Australia often dishes out to migrant groups. | Producers: Bre Jones and Nicole De Palo

Arab women are so often othered in western discussions about feminism. But the reality is there are strong feminist and LGBTQI movements across the Arab world. Artist, poet and activist Sara Saleh curated this panel at All About Women 2019 featuring activist Aya Chebbi, writer Randa Abdel-Fattah and journalist Ruby Hamad whose work challenges these well-worn assumptions.

What happens when your personal beliefs and views become politicised - and vice versa? Are you exposed to more vitriol as a woman who speaks up? This session with Randa Abdel-Fattah, Jane Caro and Clementine Ford was recorded at the 2017 Newcastle Writers Festival and was hosted by Ruby Hamad.

Clementine Ford discusses her debut book, Fight Like A Girl, with host Ruby Hamad at the 2017 Newcastle Writers Festival. The book exposes just how unequal the world continues to be for women and it is a call to arms for all women to rediscover the fury that has been suppressed by a society that still considers feminism a threat.

It's episode 69 so let's talk about LOVE. Writer and philosopher Alain de Botton is in the country to promote his (brilliant) new book The Course of Love: an exploration of the confusing ideas romanticism serves up for us. He thinks love is a serious matter indeed and one worth examining closely, and in this chat we talk about its effects, its position in our hard-wiring and its many forms.  Also, in the wake of Brexit and Trump, Alain reflects on how emotional intelligence might better inform our public debate.    You can catch me at the Splendour In The Grass Comedy Club The World Keeps Happening at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival Article: "Classwashing" Australia's racism problem won't make it disappear by Ruby Hamad  @alaindebotton alaindebotton.com The Course of Love Video: In Praise of Short-Term Love Cause of the Week: The School of Life (schooloflife.com - Sydney, Melbourne)
