Podcast appearances and mentions of simone muller

Simone Muller is the founder of Re-Centre, an online platform dedicated to the Low Pressure Fitness-Hypopressives technique. Having grown up in South Africa, she trained with the Royal Ballet School in London, before ending her career as a dancer and setting up her own business. In this episode, we talk about finding your calling by focusing on what you truly desire and giving yourself the freedom to experiment and fail, particularly if you’ve been taught all your life to numb this part of your being. But what if your interests and ideas don’t seem to fit together at first sight? Simone is great example of how it all starts to make sense once you give yourself time. You can find out more about Simone's classes and the Hypopressives technique here https://re-centre.co.uk/

Simone Muller’s Wiring the World: The Social and Cultural Creation of Global Telegraph Networks (Columbia University Press, 2016) is a superb account of the laying of submarine telegraph cables in the nineteenth century and the battles over them in the subsequent decades. Her book shows how expanding telegraph networks were instrumental in processes of capitalism, nation-building, and globalization. To track these grand developments, however, Muller reconstructs the network of people who built, managed, and fought over telegraph networks. She calls this eclectic collection of financiers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and politicians “actors of globalization.” Muller’s book is an historical kaleidoscope that shows the multi-faceted meaning of telegraphy. Her actors imbued telegraphy with hopes of world peace, of Weltcommunication (a predecessor of the global village idea), of a global electric union, and of bolstering the civilizing mission. Even if submarine telegraphy never achieved these aspirations, her book demonstrates just how culturally and socially significant this technology and these networks were to the pre-WWI world. Her book should be of interest to historians of capitalism, technology, international relations, Europe and the United States, along with anyone curious about the longer duree of globalization. Simone Muller is a principal investigator at the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. Dexter Fergie will be pursuing his PhD in US and Global history at Northwestern University in September 2017.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
