Podcasts about social practices

Understanding Grace as a Social Dynamic. In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford discuss the implications of Christian nationalism, the importance of mental health in the face of societal issues, and the transformative power of grace within community dynamics. They explore how grace can reorder relationships and emphasize the need for a new humanity as described in Ephesians, while also addressing the challenges of navigating anger and outrage in today's world. Further, Mike and Tim explore the transformative power of grace within the context of the new humanity as described in the New Testament. They discuss how grace flattens social hierarchies, reverses corrupt evaluations of status, and fosters a sense of siblingship among believers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community practices that restore Shalom, address racial dynamics, and promote generosity towards the marginalized. Ultimately, they highlight the need for the church to embody a radical reconfiguration of social values that celebrates diversity and humanity 00:00 - Introduction to Voxology Podcast 00:59 - Christian Nationalism and Its Appeal 07:32 - Navigating Anger and Mental Health 12:04 - The Role of Grace in Community 15:15 - Ephesians and the New Humanity 32:12 - Grace as a Social Dynamic 33:10 - Dynamics of Grace in the New Humanity 36:06 - The Flattening Effect of Grace 38:30 - Reversing Social Status through Grace 41:51 - The Role of Community in Siblingship 44:56 - The Great Reversal of Status 48:26 - Addressing Racial Dynamics in the Church 52:48 - Practices for Restoring Shalom 56:48 - Generosity and the Poor 01:00:06 - Reconciliation and Social Practices 01:04:51 - Celebrating Humanity and Diversity As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Question Answer Session With Public | Mufti Tariq Masood Speeches

Unveiling the Nightly Rant: A Deep Dive into Social Gatherings, Local Services, and Cultural DynamicsKey TakeawaysSuccessful social gatherings are a confluence of good company, excellent locations, and memorable experiences.Community issues and responses illuminate how local services, such as police, can impact neighborhood dynamics.The interaction between commerce and tourism highlights broader economic implications, particularly around accommodation services like Airbnb.The Art of a Successful Social GatheringThe essence of a social gathering, as revealed by Mike and Torya in their latest discussion on "The Nightly Rant," lies in the harmonious blend of environment, attendees, and activities. Their recent experience at Soul Belly in Las Vegas serves as a prime case study for this.Soul Belly Barbecue, described by Torya as "freaking amazing" and located in the Arts District, provided not just the setting but a vibrant atmosphere that contributed to the event's success. Despite it being a Wednesday night, the barbecue joint was bustling. As Torya noted, "They were unusually busy because it was the 3rd of July." This bustling activity did not impede but rather enhanced the gathering, showcasing how a lively environment can energize social interactions.Importantly, Mike and Torya observed that more guests meant a dynamic where participation in conversations could ebb and flow naturally, minimizing social fatigue. Torya encapsulated this by saying, "There was enough people there that if I didn't feel like talking for a few minutes, I didn't have to." Such flexibility is crucial for the sustainability of longer gatherings.The successful meetup illustrates the importance of choosing a locale with robust service and an engaging atmosphere. The hosts repeatedly commend Soul Belly for its excellent food and service, emphasizing how these factors can elevate a simple meet-up into a memorable event.Community Issues and Local ServicesCommunity safety and the effectiveness of local services were highlighted when Mike and Torya recounted a concerning incident involving illegal fireworks in their neighborhood. The discussion underscores the complex dynamics between public behavior, social responsibility, and police response.Upon encountering a group setting off fireworks dangerously close to residences and a park, Mike quickly reported the activity to the police. His immediate reaction, "I called the police right away," reflects a proactive approach to community safety. However, the police response—or the lack thereof—was notably disappointing. Despite assurances that "the call had been set up and the officer was on the way," the lack of any police presence highlights potential deficiencies in response protocols.Torya aptly questioned the behavior of individuals setting off fireworks in a residential area, suggesting, "Who goes to a street that you don't live on inside of a residential neighborhood to light off fireworks?" This raises broader questions about public awareness and respect for communal living spaces.Mike and Torya's experience also brings to light the importance of neighborhood vigilance and self-policing when public services fall short. The ultimate effectiveness of Mike's warning to the trespassers—"The cops have been called"—demonstrates that sometimes community members must step into more active roles to maintain local peace and safety.Commerce, Tourism, and Economic ImplicationsThe interplay between tourism, local commerce, and overarching economic policies forms another pivotal theme in the transcript. Using Las Vegas as a microcosm, Mike and Torya discuss the impact of short-term rentals like Airbnb on the local economy and tourist behavior.Mike articulates a compelling argument against the anti-Airbnb stance adopted by many municipalities. He points out, "People who couldn't necessarily otherwise afford to travel here can because of an Airbnb." This nuanced perspective highlights how Airbnb democratizes travel, making it more accessible to a wider audience.Additionally, there's a notable economic shift within the hotel industry itself. As Mike reveals, "Gambling revenue is now only 27% of a resort's revenue." This shift from gambling to a diverse array of revenue streams like shows and food services implies that the tourism industry must adapt and innovate beyond its traditional norms. Consequently, knee-jerk regulatory responses against services like Airbnb might actually hinder broader economic growth and diversification.The conversation also touches upon the real-world impacts of such regulations. Torya references an op-ed discussing the Airbnb ban in New York City, revealing that it "has only benefited the hotels." This outcome contradicts the intended effects of lowering rent prices and improving community living conditions, showing instead a manipulation of market forces that ultimately benefits a select few.Reflecting on Social Practices and Economic RealitiesThe themes discussed by Mike and Torya provide a rich tapestry of insights into social practices, public safety, and economic realities. Their experiences highlighted the nuanced dance between personal initiative and communal responsibility, the importance of selecting the right environments for social gatherings, and the broader economic dynamics shaped by tourism and local commerce.As Mike and Torya navigate these discussions with a blend of humor and candor, they offer a blueprint for thoughtful engagement in everyday life. Their emphasis on community action in the face of inadequate public services, the embrace of vibrant social settings, and the critique of short-sighted economic policies presents a holistic view of modern living.Engaged listeners and readers alike would do well to absorb these lessons. Whether planning their next social gathering or considering the broader implications of local service efficacy and tourism economics, Mike and Torya's insights offer both practical strategies and deeper reflections for improved community dynamics and personal enjoyment.TimestampSummary0:15Successful Meetup and Delicious Barbecue at Soul Belly3:52Illegal Fireworks and Police Inaction in a Residential Neighborhood6:31The Impact of Airbnb Regulations on Tourism and Hotel Industries9:25Vacation Habits, Hotel Rates, and Navigating New Spaces11:49Communication Gaps Between Men and Women in Relationships13:26Fireworks, Nighttime, and Neighborhood Dynamics

Where do the lines lie between nature and culture within humanity? How can our human social practices affect and shape our biology? The answer is within the concept of niche construction, showcasing how human activities, much like those of other organisms, actively shape our environment, which in turn influences our evolution.Joseph Rouse is a professor of philosophy and also science and technology at Wesleyan University, and also the author of several books. His latest work is titled, Social Practices as Biological Niche Construction. It's a deep dive into the cultural and ethical practices that have co-evolved with our species.Greg and Joseph discuss the idea of a world where cultural evolution and biological evolution are not two disparate processes but intricately connected facets of human life. Joseph  illustrates how these have evolved to support a sophisticated network of social justice, individual freedom, and political democracy. Joseph also makes the case for human life as a complex network of practice-interdependent existence, contrasting the more simplistic view of human behavior as merely a quest for reproductive success. Enjoy this new angle on the ideas of evolutionary biology.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The interconnectedness of human biology and social culture08:16 The anthropologist would happily tell you, culture includes material culture, right? And we live in built environments that have been massively transformed, niched constructively, and so seeing that part of what we think of as our social world, as on the one hand, always accommodating our biological capacities but then also recognizing that those needs and capacities have been transformed by this built environment that has been repeatedly transformed and complicated and diversified over millennia because, after all, one of the distinctive biological features of human beings compared to other organisms is that we don't live in the same way as other human beings.Understanding what philosophers mean when they talk about practice26:16 As we know from watching the role of the courts, once you have a rule or a law, what it actually means in each case is open to further interpretation and new issues that hadn't been initially considered and once you adapt the rule or the norm to those issues, it reverberates back on the earlier cases. And so you've got a constant dynamic of normative change in which what is normal enables one to make judgments about how to continue in the same way.Defining biological normativity11:35 In its basic form, biological normativity is the way in which an organism and a lineage are a process that's goal-directed. Organisms do all sorts of things and adjust to conditions in order to sustain the very process of their being alive.The problem in talking about and measuring the complexity of social life36:38 We tend to assume complexity is one thing and can be measured along one dimension. But in fact, there are many different kinds of complexity. I mean, someone living in what an earlier generation of anthropologists would have called a more primitive society, which we rightly no longer talk about, in fact, hasn't negotiated an extraordinary range of local knowledge and relationships, and so forth. Now, we have, in part, delegated more things to more practices, and that has allowed increasing specialization. It's also enhanced some limitations.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Evolutionary biologyNiche ConstructionNormativityImmanuel KantJohn RawlsLudwig WittgensteinE. O.

(Conversation recorded on October 17th, 2023)     Show Summary:    On this episode, Nate is joined by biophysical analyst Mario Giampietro to unpack his decades of research on a wide-lens view of the challenges facing the human system. With current metrics that only optimize for one variable, increasingly reductionist academic fields, and scientific communication consistently falling short, researchers who look at how all the pieces of our predicament fit together and most effectively help others understand will become more essential. How does the scope with which we look at a problem affect the subsequent information we gather and decisions we make? In what way should we frame the narratives that we create to best inform our leaders and the public about the obstacles of the future? Will taking on these issues from a different lens help to create better, multi-dimensional responses that include biophysical, cultural, and social components as we move into the coming decades?    About Mario Giampietro:   Mario Giampietro has recently retired from the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies (ICREA), Barcelona. Until September 2023, he was ICREA Research Professor at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain. He has dedicated his academic career to the integrated assessment of (uncomfortable) sustainability issues using concepts from complex systems theory. He has developed a novel methodology, Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM), that integrates biophysical and socioeconomic variables across multiple scales, thus establishing a link between the metabolism of socio-economic systems and potential constraints of the natural environment. Recent research has focused on the nexus between land use, food, energy, and water in relation to SDGs. He has (co)authored over 150 publications, including six books.    For Show Notes and More visit: https://www.thegreatsimplification.com/episode/107-mario-giampietro   To watch this video episode on Youtube → https://youtu.be/HFZ3NPPPPS0   

Exegetes have long relied on the framework of the Acts of the Apostles to understand the behavior and organization of Paul's various ekklēsiai (assemblies), or church communities, from which Christ-groups have often been conceptualized as extensions from practices of diasporic Jewish synagogues. However, Richard S. Ascough's work has been at the forefront of a scholarly movement emphasizing the relevance of data from Greco-Roman associations—occupational, cultic, ethnic, and otherwise—not only as a preferable model for understanding the constitution of early Christ-following communities, but also as fruitful comparanda for interpreting Paul's letters, such as 1 Thessalonians and Philippians.  On this episode, Dr. Ascough joined the New Books Network to discuss Early Christ Groups and Greco-Roman Associations: Organizational Models and Social Practices (Cascade Books, 2022), a collection of his articles and essays on associations from the last 25 years detailing the road to the acceptance of association data within scholarship as well as the recruitment, self-promotion, socializing, and memorializing practices that these recoveries from antiquity reveal. Ascough discusses how he carved his own niche within biblical studies, from starting as a master's student with a small group to translate previously unpublished inscriptions and papyri to ultimately showcasing the applicability of association behavior to early Christ-groups, Pauline and otherwise. Richard S. Ascough (Ph.D., Toronto School of Theology, 1997) is a Professor at the School of Religion at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He has written extensively on the formation of early Christ groups and Greco-Roman religious culture, with particular attention to various types of associations. He has published widely in the field with more than fifty articles or essays and thirteen books, including Christ Groups & Associations: Foundational Essays(Baylor U. Press, 2022), Associations in the Greco-Roman World: A Sourcebook (Baylor U. Press, 2012), and Paul's Macedonian Associations (Mohr Siebeck, 2003). He has been recognized for his innovative and effective teaching in many ways, including the two top teaching awards at Queen's University and a 3M National Teaching Fellowship (2018). Rob Heaton (Ph.D., University of Denver, 2019) hosts Biblical Studies conversations for New Books in Religion and teaches New Testament, Christian origins, and early Christianity at Anderson University in Indiana. He recently authored The Shepherd of Hermas as Scriptura Non Grata: From Popularity in Early Christianity to Exclusion from the New Testament Canon (Lexington Books, 2023).

Simona Berhe and Olindo de Napoli's Citizens and Subjects of the Italian Colonies: Legal Constructions and Social Practices, 1882-1943 (Routledge, 2021) is the first book on Italian colonialism that specifically deals with the question of citizenship/subjecthood. Such a topic is crucial for understanding both Italian imperial rule and the complex dynamics of the different colonial societies where several actors, like notables, political leaders, minorities, etc., were involved. The chapters gathered in the book constitute an unprecedented account of a heterogeneous geographical area. The cases of Eritrea, Libya, Dodecanese, Ethiopia, and Albania confirm that citizenship and subjecthood in the colonial context were ductile political tools, which were structured according to the orientations of the Metropole and the challenges that came from the colonial societies, often swinging between submission, cooptation to the colonial power, and resistance. On one hand, the book offers an account of the different policies of citizenship implemented in the Italian colonies, in particular the construction of gradated forms of citizenship, the repression and expulsion of dissidents, the systems of endearment of local people and cooptation of the elites, and the racialization of legal status. On the other, it deals with the various answers coming from the local populations in terms of resistance, negotiation, and construction of social identity. Learn more about your ad choices.

On one hand, the book offers an account of the different policies of citizenship implemented in the Italian colonies, in particular the construction of gradated forms of citizenship, the repression and expulsion of dissidents, the systems of endearment of local people and cooptation of the elites, and the racialization of legal status. On the other, it deals with the various answers coming from the local populations in terms of resistance, negotiation, and construction of social identity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Simona Berhe and Olindo de Napoli's Citizens and Subjects of the Italian Colonies: Legal Constructions and Social Practices, 1882-1943 (Routledge, 2021) is the first book on Italian colonialism that specifically deals with the question of citizenship/subjecthood.

  Viv, aka Sober iThrive interviews Dr Peg O'Connor on her book "Higher and Friendly Powers" This is an amazing interview and we graciously thank Dr O'Connor for coming on the Sobertown Podcast and sharing her amazing insights and wisdom!!   Interview with Peg O'Connor, Professor of Philosophy, Specializing in Feminist, Social, Political Philosophy and Addiction Studies, and Author of: “HIGHER AND FRIENDLY POWERS TRANSFORMING ADDICTION AND SUFFERING HIGHER” An expansive alternative for those who have AND FRIENDiv struggled with the "higher power" of AA's 12-step POWERS program, Higher and Friendly Powers (Wildhouse Publications / August 24, 2022) offers a sense of human decency, moral ideals, and even a better version of oneself. In Higher and Friendly Powers, Peg O'Connor, PEG O CONNOR PhD, addresses an audience much like herself: those in recovery who have struggled with the Christian-centric God at the heart of Alcoholics Anonymous. She brings our attention to a little-known fact: the term "higher power," a touchstone in the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, was coined by William James, philosopher, psychologist, and intellectual giant of the early 20 century. By acting as our personal field guide through the world of William James, Peg shows that "higher power" as James conceived it is far more expansive than we might imagine. The book, which combines Peg's deep personal wisdom with James's adventurous intellect, has the power to transform the way we live.   ABOUT THE AUTHOR: 1 Peg O'Connor, Ph.D., is a Professor of Philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. • Her training is in moral philosophy, feminist philosophy, addiction studies, and the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein. She believes that philosophy helped her to get and remain sober. Avoiding Alcoholics Anonymous for the first 20 years of her sobriety because of the concept of a "higher power," she is focused on using some of the great canonical thinkers in western philosophy to illuminate dimensions of addiction. She further shares this in her new book, Higher and Friendly Powers: Transforming Addiction and Suffering (Wildhouse Publications, August 2022). Dr. O'Connor is also the author of Life on the Rocks: Finding Meaning in Addiction and Recovery (Central Recovery Press, 2016), Morality and Our Complicated Form of Life: Feminist Wittgensteinian Metaethics (Penn State, 2008), and Oppression and Responsibility: A Wittgensteinian Approach to Social Practices and Moral Theory (Penn State, 2002). A co-editor to multiple other titles, she is regularly published in trade journals and writes a column, Philosophy Stirred, Not Shaken, for Psychology Today, which has nearly two million total views online and select columns have appeared in the print publication. Dr. O'Connor's expertise has been featured on BBC's Free Thinking and Canadian Public Radio's On Drugs podcast, as well as in print and online publications ranging from The New York Times, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Cosmo and Marie Claire to Vice and Kinfolk. She has been invited to present on addiction and recovery at some of the country's most prestige universities, in addition to workshops and talks in church basements, classrooms, community centers, and treatment centers. Dr. Peg O'Connor is a recovering alcoholic who maintains that philosophy got and helped her to stay sober. For the last twelve years, she has shifted the focus of her work to using some of the great canonical thinkers in western philosophy to illuminate dimensions of addiction. She understands addiction as a meaning of life problem and no discipline is as well suited as philosophy to address meaning of life questions.   Peg O'Conner's Website: https://pegoconnorauthor.com/ Amazon: Higher and Friendly Powers   Viv, aka Sober_iThrive, is a Certified Addictions Recovery Coach  https://www.soberithrive.org My communities are:   • Sobertownpodcast.com   • I Am Sober Community (IAS) - @Sober_iThrive  • Sobertown Facebook Group   • “Valiants We Thrive” – Sober Women Telegram Group  • Instagram: @Sober_i_Thrive    No Sippy No Slippy.

Or, maybe you could map it: what does each of you do, why, and how? We converse about integration of practices and practice networks with Marc Burgauer, co-founder of Contextualise. Together with Chris McDermott, they assist large organizations in their transformation efforts through maturity mapping. We are teasing out our ideas on how can the understanding of social practice theory–and the acceptance of complexity–possibly help write better technical documentation. How can we better ease and inform the users of the docs into the context in which the artifact operates? What would be the minimum shared vocabulary and methods to change anything for the better in a persistent, self-stabilizing socio-technical system–our workplace–and do we need to name practice theory at all for it?

Well Witches, we finally did it — we recorded an episode about fan studies and fan-fiction. And our wonderful guest, Amanda K. Allen (she/her), made it possible! Amanda is a professor of Children's Literature at Eastern Michigan University who she came onto the show to discuss fan fiction conventions and genre at the intersection of power, adolescence, and the early days of the internet. Join us as we explore the rich history and legacy of fan-fiction through Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Content Warning: We discuss the taboo nature of some fan fiction "ships" (i.e. Snape/Hermione and Hermione/McGonagall), as well as some tropes and conventions of non-consent, coercion and forced marriage and reproduction. For listeners interested in understanding the ethics surrounding fan fiction writers' tendency to include graphic and disturbing elements within fan fiction (rape, non-consensual situations, torture, etc.), an excellent and helpful text is Kristina Busse's Framing Fan Fiction: Literary and Social Practices in Fan Fiction Communities. In particular, listeners might be interested in the tenth chapter, "Fictional Consents and the Ethical Enjoyment of Dark Desires." [Busse, Kristina. Framing Fan Fiction: Literary and Social Practices in Fan Fiction Communities. U of Iowa P., 2017.]***Don't forget, we are running a Holiday Patreon Drive!

I femte episode av «psst» snakker vi om ekstreme digitale nettverk og radikalisering på nett. I takt med nye medier og økende digitalisering av samfunnet, forandrer også terrorismen seg. Hvilken rolle kan brukerstyrte digitale nettverk, uten noen direkte kobling til konkrete terrororganisasjoner, spille for radikalisering og mobilisering til terror? Analytiker i PST, Celine, gjester podcasten og forteller blant annet om hvordan gamerkultur, humor og musikk veves sammen med ekstremt tankegods og skaper digitale subkulturer med stor påvirkningskraft. Programleder er Martin Bernsen, seniorrådgiver i PST.Kilder: Et lydklipp er hentet fra NRKs nyhetssending 7. februar 2018. Et annet er hentet fra CNNs sending av en pressekonferanse i forbindelse med terrorangrepet på New Zealand, 15. mars 2019. På www.pst.no finner du PSTs rapporten det refereres til om samme tema (Hvordan ekstreme digitale nettverk påvirker terrortrusselen i Vesten og Norge fra 2021).

The final part of our four part sustainability series, we cover ethical and social practices. We have a really open, honest conversation understanding the cultural differences when seeking a manufacturer abroad. Demi shares how you can discover if the factory is adhering to local guidance, and how you as a customer can help improve conditions and pressures for workers.

In 1993 the Canadian Broadcast Corporation ran a brief clip about how something called "The Internet" was connecting millions to talk about sports scores, recipes, philosophy and gossip. In the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, almost everyone depended upon the internet in order to get through it. The deep dependency on cyber technology and connectivity raises security concerns. As Mark Raymond shares with GDP, these concerns are far more concerning than the idea of sinister hackers and henchmen unleashing the next virus. Mark Raymond (@MRaymondonIR) is the Wick Cary Assistant Professor of International Security and the Director of the Cyber Governance and Policy Center at the University of Oklahoma. He is the author of Social Practices of Rule-Making in World Politics (New York: Oxford University Press, 2019). His work appears in various academic journals including International Theory, the Journal of Global Security Studies, Strategic Studies Quarterly, The Cyber Defense Review, the UC Davis Law Review, and the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs. He was a Senior Advisor with the United States Cyberspace Solarium Commission, and has testified before the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development, and participated in the Internet Governance Forum.

Brainard Carey is an instructor at the Praxis Center for Aesthetic Studies. He gives us a glimpse into his own career and the path he took and shares with us the three things he's found that artists struggle with the most.

http://www.peakmind.orgCourtesy of Dr. Robb: "The current projections for its expansion in the U.S. are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves:1.  NO HANDSHAKING! - fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.2.  Use only your knuckle for light switches, elevator buttons, etc. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.3.  Open doors with your closed first or hip - do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and commercial doors.4.  Use disinfectant wipes at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.5.  Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been. Rub your hands vigorously - friction has shown to be as effective as soap!6.  Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home's entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can't immediately wash your hands.7.  If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain an infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more.What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread in the US:1.  Latex nitrate disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gas pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you. But all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average - everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected faces are directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs). The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.2.  Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth. (We touch our nose/mouth 90x/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you - it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus from a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth - it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.3.  Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrate gloves and the right sizes for your family. The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.4.  Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus and most other viruses from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel any “cold-like” symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx.I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available. I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful in this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email.Good luck to all of us!"- James Robb, MD FCAP

In an article by Laura van Straaten in Vulture in November 2018 titled ‘Ten Galleries Whose founders Quit the Big City To Become Cultural Trailblazers in the Heartland’, gallery owners from a range of cities in the Midwest and South talk about operating a gallery outside metropolitan art capitals, nevertheless, traveling to art fairs in major cities to sell work. We get into the purpose of art fairs, platforms for selling art, and marketing methods, including a vivid description of the art market as a shapeshifter from a horror movie and the DIY tactic of "a thousand true fans." We wonder how the two aspects of online presence and real life interactions work together. People don’t go to galleries as much, and there has been a decline in being physically present in the same space with your peers and the public, while at the same time we have seen the rise of the art “experience” and blockbuster shows made for visitors to Instagram. "Radical Localism” from Chris Kraus’s book Social Practices has us reflecting on making political art vs making art that is inherently political by virtue of being embedded in a small, local community. The artist as worker, much like the postman, the grocer, or the hairdresser, integrated into the life of the town. (A correction to this part of the episode: Pueblo Nuevo is a neighborhood in the town of Mexicali, not the name of the town itself.) Thinking about context, and the meaning of artwork lead us to cat paintings - again - and the difference human connection makes to the experience of an artwork. It is often discouraged in contemporary art discourse as there is an understanding that the work has to be able to speak for itself and be self-contained, but identity politics is making a difference to this attitude, questioning that stance. The response to Dana Schutz’s painting “Open Casket” at the Whitney Biennial in 2017 is an example of this shift. There is a trap of the artist becoming the artwork and losing the freedom of art to go beyond what already exists, but there are layers of meaning and multiple levels of analysis possible within a single artwork. Living in a small arts community there is no choice but to be supportive of each other’s work, and that persistence instead of dismissal, can open up entirely new ways of seeing art. So, how do we act as critical support for each other? There are different modes of engagement like asking questions, encouraging the things that are successful about someone’s work, and different responses that are appropriate depending on context, be it show openings or studio visits.

On this week's episode of the POMEPS Conversation Podcast, Marc Lynch speaks with Thomas Hegghammer, an expert on violent Islamism. Hegghammer talks about current status of the Islamic State (ISIS), as well as future of violent extremism. "The way I see the the the Islamic State terrorism campaign in Europe in 2015, 2016, and 2017 happened because there was a new generation of leaders in place who hadn't quite realized or internalized the repercussions of [their] strategy," Hegghammer says. "But I think that now— even in the Islamic State family— there is a growing realization that if you want to stay alive, or if you want to keep some kind of operation locally, you want to be careful about what you what you do. So I suspect that at least the medium-term effect of this will be a certain type of some kind of taming of the Islamic State animal." Hegghammer is currently a senior research fellow at the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and adjunct professor of political science at the University of Oslo. He is the author of numerous books, including Jihadi Culture: The Art and Social Practices of Militant Islamists and The Meccan Rebellion: The Story of Juhayman al-'Utaybi Revisited.

In this week’s books podcast Sam talks to Chris Kraus — author of the semi-autobiographical cult novel I Love Dick and the new essay collection Social Practices — about her strange and interesting life in the New York and LA art worlds, about taking Baudrillard to a “happening” in the desert, about ambition and fame, about how art and literature feed into one another — and about why we English should stop sneering at “theory” and learn to love its strangeness and beauty. Presented by Sam Leith.

The Coen Brothers take on the Western movie in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Made with money from Netflix, is it REALLY a cinema release? Hadestown is a musical that's stopping off at London's National Theatre on its way from Off-Broadway to Broadway. It sets the Greek myth of story of Orpheus and Eurydice in modern New Orleans (and the underworld of course!) and reimagines the sweeping ancient tale as a timeless allegory for today's world. Chris Kraus wrote the bestseller I Love Dick and now follows it with Social Practices, a particular mix of biography, autobiography, fiction, criticism, and conversations among friends. How does it hold together as a single book? There's an exhibition of work by French artist Fernand Leger just opened at Tate Liverpool charting his development throughout his life.

The third in a six-part series discussing a set of social practices embedded in NWP-style teacher leadership, this episode examines the practice of writing. NWP teacher leaders know that when teachers write for others in their profession they are taking on a form of leadership and embracing a means for advocating for the value of teacher classroom inquiry and reflective practice. In this episode we will talk to teacher-writers and look at various ways that Writing Project sites can support writing teachers in becoming teachers who write.

In preparation for this year's Spring Meeting, we're revisiting this discussion on a set of social practices embedded in NWP-style teacher leadership. Guests examine the practice of advocacy, analyze three case studies to explore what teacher leadership through advocacy can look like, and how teachers can take up the practice of advocacy.

This is the second in a six-part series discussing a set of social practices embedded in NWP-style teacher leadership. This episode, which examines the practice of going public with our practice, looks at various ways that teachers can share their teaching practices with one another for purposes of learning, growing and leading in the profession.

This book contends that practices are perhaps the most fundamental building-block of social reality. What then would social scientists’ research look like if they took this insight seriously? The book argues that to be effective, social-scientific inquiry requires the detailed empirical study of human practices. At the same time, it makes a case for the central place in social theory and the philosophy of the social sciences of a well-developed practice theory. To be sure, conventional research in the social sciences has always investigated regularities of human behaviour; yet its core assumptions, the author argues, leave it ill-equipped to cope with essential features of the phenomena it investigates. This book is thus devoted to examining what these generic features of human practices are. In the process, it also explores how practices are constituted; how they can be identified, characterised and explained; how they function in concrete contexts; and how they might change across time and space. Noting that existing versions of practice theory often face important analytical problems, the book attempts to construct a new, systematic account from the ground up. Along the way, it illustrates its arguments with many concrete examples from the history of war, politics and intellectual currents in Europe, as well as from various domains in the social sciences and everyday life. Kevin McMillan is an Associate Professor in the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa and co-coordinator of the International Theory Network (ITN). His research interests include IR theory, modern and early-modern international history, the evolution of the European states system since 1648, history of international thought, governance, practice theory and the philosophy of the social sciences.
