Podcasts about Ruth Harris

It started with an inconsequential piece of military intelligence, scrawled on a piece of paper and left in a waste paper basket. But over the next decade, the infamous Dreyfus affair would mutate into a scandal that shook nineteenth-century France and stunned the world.Ruth Harris is a Professor of History at the University of Oxford and author of 'The Man on Devil's Island'. She joins us to explain what a Jewish artillery officer's wrongful conviction tells us about the deep divisions within French society, and explains its long-lasting implications for modern nationalism and even the Zionist movement.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Sign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.

Ashurst recently brought together key stakeholders from across the data centre ecosystem to explore the many opportunities and challenges in the industry. In this episode, we share the key takeaways about investing in and financing of data centres. Experts at a recent Ashurst seminar dived deep into the funding issues associated with data centres. Among the participants were Ashurst’s Ruth Harris, Rebecca Clarke, Chris Grey, and Rhodri Lewis – and in today’s podcast they share the highlights and talking points. On the investment side, the seminar discussed strong demand, low vacancy rates, and high barriers to entry due to construction costs, regulatory scrutiny, and power access. With major M&A activity already underway, several capital destinations were flagged up including the Nordics, Spain, Italy and Greece, and the importance of subsea cable access and geopolitical factors was emphasised. From a financing perspective, the move towards longer term lender/sponsor partnerships was covered. Among several hot topics, the seminar explored the challenges of securing early-stage finance, structuring for future asset exits, and lifecycle capex planning amidst rapidly advancing technology. It was also noted that increased lender appetite raises the possibility of earlier involvement in projects and interest in more flexible finance options.

Players from across the data centre ecosystem gathered recently to debate everything from planning and power to investment and financing. In this episode, we report on the opportunities and challenges that were identified, and some of the solutions that were uncovered. Ashurst’s recent Data Centre Seminar featured some of the brightest minds and latest innovations. Fresh from attending the event, Ashurst’s Ruth Harris and Rebecca Clarke reflect on the highlights and key takeaways in this podcast episode. As Ruth and Rebecca explain, a wide variety of topics were covered in a short space of time at the Seminar. Discussions about planning and construction included practical tips for engaging with planning authorities and aligning data centre projects with local community benefits to accelerate project approvals. This was illustrated by expert guest Emma Williamson, who has worked extensively integrating data centres into urban regeneration schemes and harnessing their heat output for district energy networks. Rebecca and Ruth also explain how data centres contribute to local job creation in the construction sector and beyond. They emphasise the value of smaller regional data centres, and they also ponder the power supply and sustainability issues that were flagged by industry leaders Tim O’Reilly and Edward Sargent. All in all, it’s an episode that underscores how vital (and valuable) data centres will continue to be as AI and the digital world expand in the years to come.

Light the lamp, not the rat! Light the lamp, not the rat! For a special Christmas episode of NostalgiaCast, Jonny and Darin are joined by author/artist Ruth Harris Craddock for a spirited discussion of THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL, directed by Brian Henson and starring Kermit The Frog, Miss Piggy, and Sir Michael Caine as arguably the big-screen's definitive Ebenezer Scrooge. They chat about the movie as a faithful adaptation of Dickens's classic story (with Muppets!) and how Caine's decision to play Scrooge as "utterly dramatic" adds to its sincerity and fun. God bless us, every one! 

Ruth Harris runs two creative businesses, Catkin Tree Studio, and Field and Fabric. Ruth and I first met as fellow vendors at the Didcot Craft Fair in 2021 when we were serendipitously placed on stalls next to one another. Since then, I've followed Ruth's work and have been so inspired by her approach to cultivating such a diverse and abundant creative practice. Join us for this episode of the podcast where I ask Ruth all about how her own creativity works in her businesses. Ruth explains what inspires her and some tips for listeners on how they can cultivate their own abundant creativity.

"It's not the picture of Vivekananda that people have but he was extremely funny. He tried not to be too hard on the Americans so he did a lot with humour and teasing" - Ruth Harris, author, Guru to the World; The Life and Legacy of Vivekananda talks to Manjula Narayan about the connections Vivekananda forged in Europe and America, his guru Ramakrishna, the contribution of his disciple Sister Nivedita, and his own radicalism and rejection of orthodoxy.

If you are one of the 40 million people in the United States who practice yoga, or if you have ever meditated, you have a forgotten Indian monk named Swami Vivekananda to thank. Few thinkers have had so enduring an impact on both Eastern and Western life as him, the Indian monk who inspired the likes of Freud, Gandhi, and Tagore. Blending science, religion, and politics, Vivekananda introduced Westerners to yoga and the universalist school of Hinduism called Vedanta. His teachings fostered a more tolerant form of mainstream spirituality in Europe and North America and forever changed the Western relationship to meditation and spirituality.Today's guest is Ruth Harris, author of Guru to the World: The Life and Legacy of Vivekananda. She traces his transformation from son of a Calcutta-based attorney into saffron-robed ascetic. At the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, he fascinated audiences with teachings from Hinduism, Western esoteric spirituality, physics, and the sciences of the mind, in the process advocating a more inclusive conception of religion and expounding the evils of colonialism. Vivekananda won many disciples, most prominently the Irish activist Margaret Noble, who disseminated his ideas in the face of much disdain for the wisdom of a “subject race.” At home, he challenged the notion that religion was antithetical to nationalist goals, arguing that Hinduism was intimately connected with Indian identity.The iconic monk emerges as a counterargument to Orientalist critiques, which interpret East–West interactions as primarily instances of Western borrowing. As Vivekananda demonstrates, we must not underestimate Eastern agency in the global circulation of ideas.

St Teresa formulated a specifically Catholic version of contemplative religion in response to the 16th-century Protestant Reformation; Vivekananda was a Hindu holy man who articulated a religious path that set the template for much 20th-century spiritual thinking; Friedrich Nietzsche set out to subvert 1,800 years of religious thinking in his iconoclastic book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which has been newly translated by poet Michael Hulse. Rana Mitter is joined by New Generation Thinker Dafydd Mills Daniel, historian Ruth Harris, and philosopher Katrina Mitcheson to discuss. Producer: Luke Mulhall.

Vanessa Garry is passionate about preparing aspiring administrators to lead today’s schools. As an assistant professor of educator preparation and leadership at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, she often finds herself looking to the past for some of the most important lessons she teaches. That history is not always easy to grapple with, and Garry knows its ugliness better than most. The Missouri General Assembly’s 1847 passage of an act making it illegal to educate people of color is just one early example. Even after that changed in 1865, public schools were segregated by law. By the early 20th century, African American communities were leading the way in search of progress and reform. And one of those leaders was growing up in St. Louis’ Ville neighborhood: Ruth Harris. Described by Garry as a “reticent disrupter” in the Jim Crow era, Harris in 1940 became the first African American female president of Stowe Teachers College, which is now Harris-Stowe State University. This year marks the 80th anniversary of her appointment. Listen as Garry talks with host Sarah Fenske about Harris’ life and legacy.

How do you write a pageturner or a movie that you can't turn off? Cliffhangers. Pure and simple. Cliffhangers keep the people coming back for more. So, how do we apply that idea to our stories? We use the wonderful article from Ruth Harris this week to talk about this underrated and misunderstood tool, and it's kind of blowing our minds. But, you'll have to listen to learn the secrets... :) Please check out Ruth's original article here: https://annerallen.com/2019/08/7-rules-cliffhanger/

In this lecture, Ruth Harris examines how Vivekananda conveyed the meaning of “guru-bakhti” to his female disciples, and the spiritual lens through which he sought to mold them in a male spiritual milieu. Ruth Harris is Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford and Senior Research Fellow at All Souls’ College. She has published widely in the history of religion, science, women’s history, French history, and more recently, global history. The lecture took place at the Center for the Studies for World Religions on September 23, 2019.

University Park: Pennsylvania State University Press.#00:12:43# Zur "Lived Religion"-Forschung siehe Meredith McGuire, 2008: Lived Religion. Faith and Practice in Everyday Life. Oxford/New York: Oxford UP. Im Fokus stehen hier religiöse Aktivitäten, die Menschen in ihrem Alltag und außerhalb religiöser Institutionen vollziehen. #00:16:10# Modulation meint bei Goffman die Transformation oder Verwandlung einer Handlung (etwa: Kampfverhalten) in etwas anderes (etwa: eine Übung, ein Spiel, eine Vorführung etc.). Siehe dazu Erving Goffman, 1980: Rahmen-Analyse. Ein Versuch über die Organisation von Alltagserfahrungen. Frankfurt/Main: Suhrkamp, S. 52-97 (1974).#00:17:10# Siehe zum hinduistischen Holi-Fest: Online und hier: Online.#00:20:19# Siehe zum Beispiel den Sufismus hier: Online und hier: Online.#00:20:48# Zur farblichen Ausgestaltung und Farbphilosophie gotischer Kathedralen siehe etwa: Peter Kurmann, 2011: Als die Kathedralen farbig waren...

Geschichte und Theorie sakraler Objekte. München: Beck. S. 155-158. Kohl überträgt den Saussureschen Gedanken, wonach die Verbindung von Lautbild und Bedeutung bei sprachlichen Zeichen mehr oder weniger beliebig ist, auf Sakralobjekte, die demnach in ähnlicher Weise durch willkürliche Bedeutungszuweisungen charakterisiert werden können. Jedes materielle Objekt könne als Repräsentant des Heiligen betrachtet und verehrt werden.#00:45:14# Zu "Fetischen" in Afrika vgl. wiederum Kohl, Karl-Heinz, 2003: Die Macht der Dinge. Geschichte und Theorie sakraler Objekte. München: Beck. S. 18-29.#00:46:12# Siehe zur Wüstenstadt Petra in Jordanien: Online. Zur Abbildung nabatäischer Gottheiten vgl.

If you’re like me (and I hope you aren’t), the “Trial of the Century” involved a washed-up football star, a slowly moving white Bronco, an ill-fitting glove, and charges of racism. I watched every bit of it and remember exactly where I was when the verdict was announced. But if you are French (which is a nice thing to be), then there is only one “Trial of the Century” and it involved an honorable though stuffy army captain, a torn up note of no significance, a bungling military establishment, and charges of anti-Semitism. The erstwhile American football player (and actor, don’t forget he was an actor) was guilty, pretty much everyone knew it, but no one really wanted to take the issue on. The aloof French officer was innocent, pretty much everyone knew it too, but in this instance a kind of culture war broke out. France circa 1900 was at a fork in the historical road: on the left, the liberalism of the Revolution; on the right, the conservatism of the post-Napoleonic settlement. So which was it to be: France a nation of free-thinking citizens or France a nation of Catholic Frenchmen? The question was not definitively answered during the Dreyfus Affair, but new (and somewhat disturbing) possibilities were sketched out. The analysis of these new paths is one (among many) of the great strengths of Ruth Harris‘s new book Dreyfus: Politics, Emotion, and the Scandal of the Century (Henry Holt, 2010) . She shows that both sides–the Dreyfusards (aka “Intellectuals”) and the Anti-Intellectuals–used the Affair to elaborate their visions for France and, in the process, worked themselves into a tizzy. They began to believe things that, well, only a lunatic could believe. French political culture entered a kind of surreal moment (a bit like American political culture during the O.J. trial if you ask me). Alas, the French didn’t quickly come back to reality after the Affair ended. They organized parties and continued to fight. And they are still fighting.

Melvyn Bragg and guests Robert Gildea, Ruth Harris and Robert Tombs discuss the Dreyfus Affair, the 1890s scandal which divided opinion in France for a generation.In 1894, a high-flying Jewish staff officer in the French Army, one Alfred Dreyfus, was convicted of spying for the Prussians. He was publicly humiliated: before a large Paris crowd, he was stripped of his badges of rank and his sword was ceremonially broken. Some of those watching shouted 'Down with Judas!' Then he was dispatched to Devil's Island. But when it emerged that Dreyfus was innocent, a scandal erupted which engulfed the Army, the Church and French society as a whole, exposing deep political rifts, and the nation's endemic anti-Semitism. It pitted Catholics against Republicans, provoked fighting in the streets, and led to the prosecution of the novelist Emile Zola, after his famous J'Accuse polemic against those protecting the real spy and so prolonging Dreyfus's suffering. The Affair became so divisive that it posed a serious threat to the French Republic itself. Finally, in 1905, it prompted the separation of Church and State. The scandal and the anti-Semitism at the heart of it cast a very long shadow. In 1945, when the ultra-nationalist one-time 'anti-Dreyfusard' Charles Maurras was convicted of collaborating with the Nazis, he reacted by declaring that his punishment was Dreyfus's revenge. Robert Gildea is Professor of Modern History at Oxford University; Ruth Harris is Lecturer in Modern History at Oxford University; Robert Tombs is Professor of French History at Cambridge University.
