You can't understand our globalized world without understanding religion. But that's easier said than done. For any given person, it's sometimes hard enough to understand your own religious perspectives. They often change throughout life, modified by experience and ideas. Modified by people and events. Modified by an encounter with the world and an encounter with God. Then go ahead and multiply that challenge by about 7.7 billion people and the ways that some of them collide and interact. Then we see a few things: we see that diversity is both a promise and a peril, we see that approaches to religious studies, sociology of religion, and the practice of theology all must be grounded in an "informed empathy," and we see that the only way to make progress is to accept responsibility and limits as an individual, and hope and commit to the necessity of collaboration.About Casey StrineCasey Strine is Senior Lecturer in Ancient Near Eastern History and Literature at The University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom.

Few first-time festival acts piqued our interest as much as Randolph & Mortimer, who made their North American debut at Terminus. The project's combination of groove-heavy EBM and subtly sardonic social commentary has intrigued us for years, and so we were delighted to sit down with Sam Evans to discuss how the project grew out of his backgrounds in techno and hardcore, as well as the socio-political perspective of the uniquely instrumental act.

Running the Orient is the story of Gavin Boyter's 2300 mile run across Europe with his girlfriend Aradhna who follows him in their camper-van Roxy. The Orient Express was a long-distance passenger train service created in 1883. It started in Paris and end in Istanbul, and along the way stopped in Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, Budapest, and Bucharest. Gavin's goal was to run the same route and stop at each of the station locations in the corresponding cities. Along the way Gavin and Aradhna don't just have navigation challenges, but also endless chores that come with running and living out of a van, and some friction in their relationship. Gavin is a writer, director, and copywriter. He has been running since his 30's and Running the Orient is not his first ultra-running adventure. He previously ran from John O'Groats to Land's End which is the longest straight line across Britain, joining the Southwest to the Northeast. Gavin's love of writing started very early in grade school when he wrote his first multi-part sci-fi story called Invasion of the Blood-Spitters. He later completed a Philosophy and English degree at Edinburgh University, and an MA in Film and TV Drama in Sheffield.If you are looking to get a copy of this book, it can be found on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Running-The-Orient/dp/1912101378 If you would like to follow Gavin, he can be found on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/gavin.boyter/ or Twitter at https://twitter.com/Gavin_Boyter?s=20&t=CfTZImKMm5W9JX1_yy6xow or https://twitter.com/Long_Run_Film?s=20&t=CfTZImKMm5W9JX1_yy6xow You can also visit his website https://www.gavinboyter.com to see some of his other work.Big thank you to Gavin for providing review copies of the book and for spending time with us to record the podcast.Any feedback or suggestions on this review or any of our other podcast episodes would be greatly welcomed.

Why are we working harder? In The Flexibility Paradox: Why Flexible Working Leads To (Self-)Exploitation (Polity Press, 2022), Heejung Chung, a professor of sociology and social policy at the University of Kent, looks a contemporary employment practices to tell the story of the rise of flexible working and its impact on workers, individuals, and families.

The book sets out the paradox that even though flexible working seems to offer more control over work, it leads to a worse work/life balance and makes more demands on staff. The paradox is also not evenly distributed, and the book pays close attention to the importance of gender in understanding how flexible work interacts with domestic labour to impact on women's lives. Packed with rich, cross-national data, along with analysis of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the book is essential across social science disciplines and for anyone interested in contemporary working life!

Episode 229: In our last episode we learned about the life and first two murders of British serial murderer Dennis Andrew Nilsen. He was arrested after police discovered human remains he'd flushed down the toilet at 23 Cranley Gardens in Muswell Hill, a Suburb of North London. In this episode we'll learn about Nilsen's next twelve murders, what happened after his arrest and the aftermath of his crimes. A number of Nilsen's victims remain unidentified to this day. As Dennis Nilsen was a necrophile, some of the information we are about to share are intense and may be very disturbing to some. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Ce mardi 26 juillet à Sheffield, dans le nord de l'Angleterre, les Anglaises accueillent la Suède en demi-finale de l'Euro féminin. Une rencontre historique à plus d'un titre. De notre envoyé spécial à Sheffield, Retour en fanfare et retour aux sources. C'est à Sheffield que tout a commencé. Là où le football a été inventé, codifié au XIXe siècle. C'est là aussi que s'écrit l'histoire de l'équipe féminine. Une victoire anglaise contre la Suède serait une belle revanche pour les pionnières du football, qui ont défriché le terrain dans les années 1920 dans la région, avant que les autorités anglaises ne leur interdisent la pratique pendant près de 50 ans. Peter et ses trois filles portent les maillots de l'équipe anglaise et assisteront au match dans la fan zone ce mardi : « Nous avons surtout regardé les matchs à la télé. C'est de toute évidence, le plus bel engouement populaire qu'ait connu l'équipe féminine dans le pays. Même si je trouve que certains stades sont un peu petits. D'ailleurs, on n'a pas pu avoir de billets pour cette demi-finale. »  Ne cherchez plus Peter, des tickets, il n'y en a plus. L'événement est un immense succès populaire et bat tous les records de fréquentations des précédents Euros. Et pourtant, l'attractivité du football féminin n'est pas nouvelle, rappelle Gail Newsham, véritable historienne de la discipline : « Avant cet Euro, le record d'affluence d'un match féminin datait de 1920. Dans le stade Goodison Park d'Everton, 53 000 spectateurs étaient présents, et près de 15 000 sont restés à l'extérieur, faute de place. Quasiment 70 000 personnes étaient venues voir un match féminin, ce qui était un record assez incroyable. »  Les mythiques Dick, Kerr's Ladies Une équipe symbolise alors cet incroyable succès : le Dick, Kerr's Ladies Football Club, du nom d'une usine d'armement, situé également dans le nord de l'Angleterre. « Les femmes ont commencé à jouer au football pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Les hommes étaient au front et elles disputaient des matchs de charité pour récolter des fonds et soutenir l'effort de guerre, poursuit Gail Newsham. L'équipe la plus connue, c'était les Dick, Kerr's Ladies, créée en 1917. Rien que sur l'année 1921, elles ont joué 67 matchs à travers tout le pays, et près d'un million de personnes sont venues les supporter. »   Mais l'éclaircie est de courte durée, puisque les femmes vont rapidement être bannies des pelouses, privées de terrain pendant près de 50 ans. « Le foot féminin a été interdit en décembre 1921 par la fédération anglaise, qui estimait sa pratique inconvenante pour les femmes, et qu'il ne fallait pas l'encourager, rappelle encore Gail Newsham. Mais surtout, à cette époque, la fédération voulait s'agrandir et développer ses revenus, et ne voyait pas d'un bon œil la concurrence de ces matchs de femmes, qui attiraient plus de monde que la plupart des rencontres masculines. »  Il faudra attendre 1971, sous la pression de l'UEFA, pour que les femmes puissent à nouveau rejouer en Angleterre, et 2017 pour l'apparition d'une division 100% professionnelle. Des panneaux de l'UEFA retracent justement l'histoire de cette prohibition à Sheffield. Ils ont attiré l'attention de Karin. « J'étais au courant de cette longue interdiction, affirme-t-elle. C'est bien qu'aujourd'hui les femmes montrent aux hommes qu'elles aussi peuvent jouer et très bien jouer. Nous suivons tous le foot dans ce pays, et l'équipe féminine a capté l'attention du public anglais. »  L'attention du public et celle de son fils de neuf ans, Holy, maillot des trois lionnes sur le dos. « J'ai suivi presque tous les matchs de l'Euro. Ma joueuse préférée, c'est Ellen White. Parce qu'elle marque beaucoup de buts ! C'est la première fois que je suis une compétition féminine. Et c'est vraiment cool à regarder », s'emballe le gamin. Holy, petit chanceux, sera au stade ce mardi avec sa maman pour supporter Hélène White et l'équipe anglaise, digne héritière des pionnières.
