In this deeply moving Season 7 finale episode, we honor the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Dorsey Odell Blake, beloved faculty member, mentor, tireless advocate for justice, and prophetic voice in the Pacific School of Religion (PSR) community and beyond, who passed away in March 2025. Dr. Blake first came to PSR in 1968, during a time of national upheaval that he often compared to our own. Inspired by personal encounters with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other Civil Rights leaders, he pursued a theological education rooted in justice, compassion, and community. After graduating in 1971, he remained deeply connected to PSR, through transformative teaching that spanned more than five decades, serving as Professor of Leadership and Social Transformation at Pacific School of Religion (PSR) as well as Dean of the Faculty at Starr King School for Ministry and pastor at The Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples, founded by his mentor, Dr. Howard Thurman. We celebrate his lasting impact through the voices of community members who share personal reflections and memories of Dr. Blake, exploring the divine synchronicity that brought him into their lives and the profound impact he had on theological education and social justice movements. The episode closes with a powerful question to each guest: What action will you take in the world because of Dr. Blake's friendship, ministry, and justice work? Their answers reflect the enduring call to carry forward his legacy, one rooted in love, integrity, and fierce commitment to justice.Featured Voices:Rev. Dr. David Vásquez-Levy – President of PSR, shares how Dr. Blake became a mentor and colleague who shaped the vision of theological education through both word and action, including the anonymous co-creation of a visionary pamphlet on communal learning.Rev.

How do we typically see fat, and how can thinking differently about it have emancipatory outcomes? Fady Shanouda of Carleton University's Feminist Institute of Social Transformation introduces Fat Studies and their inextricable link to activism. Alert to the connection between living and other things, Fady unpacks his feminist new materialist approach, and explains what it means to say “I'm not fat in my house”, describing how our surroundings can liberate us or show bias. He also considers the harm caused by misconceptions of fat as simply “surplus”, “inanimate” or even “dead” material. How does such valuing get mapped onto whole bodies and lives? And what happens if, instead, we recognise fat as essential, pushing back against the idea that having a lower amount of body fat means somehow a more valuable life?Plus: how has fat come to be seen as a matter for psychiatry? And what are the manifestations of the “fat tax” in a world where things are made with certain bodies in mind and costs imposed on others?Featuring discussion on autoethnography in North America.

In 2020, China implemented the National Security Law (NSL) in Hong Kong, making a wide range of political activities illegal and further reducing the city's autonomy. Last November, a court sentenced 45 pro-democracy figures to four to ten years in prison in the largest trial since the NSL was adopted. Political and legal changes have continued in Hong Kong, reshaping the Legislative Council and the way cases deemed a matter of “national security” are decided. What does the current situation in Hong Kong mean for the future of civil liberties and human rights in the city? What are the broader implications for Hong Kong's future as a global financial center and intellectual hub? How do events in Hong Kong affect U.S.-China relations? In an interview recorded on February 28, 2025, Carole Petersen and Ho-Fung Hung, in conversation with Thomas Kellogg, discuss the ongoing changes in Hong Kong.

What does it mean to recognize that so much of the world has become “anti-microbial”? Why is it that some bacteria make us sick while others are vital to our wellbeing? And how can we understand social transformation as a form of fermentation?In this episode, we are joined by fermentation revivalist Sandor Katz, who guides us through the foundations of what fermentation is.Sink into this discussion as we explore the ways that wild fermentation invites us to deepen our relationship to place and our local environments.We welcome you to…tune in and subscribe to Green Dreamer via Spotify or any podcast app;and subscribe to kaméa's newsletter here to stay posted on our latest interviews.

I'm excited to have Skye Jethani back on the podcast. When we talk about justice, we often think in binary terms - judgment or mercy, punishment or forgiveness. But as Skye argues, the biblical vision of justice is far more nuanced and holistic. At its core, justice is about the proper ordering of relationships - between humanity and God, as well as between individuals and communities. It's not just about retribution, but about restoring the shalom, the wholeness and flourishing, that God intended for his creation. This understanding upends many of our assumptions about justice, both in the church and in society. He challenges the popular American Christian idea that justice is something the government does, not the church. And he unpacks how this bifurcation between the "vertical" and "horizontal" dimensions of justice has deeply distorted our theology and our engagement with the world. But Skye also offers a compelling alternative - a vision of justice that holds together judgment and mercy, individual transformation and systemic change. It's a vision rooted in the cosmic victory of Christ on the cross, where the powers of evil were defeated and a new order was established. This is a conversation that spans creation, Christology, and the church's role in pursuing righteousness. Skye draws on Scripture, church history, and his own experience to paint a rich, nuanced portrait of justice that challenges us to rethink our assumptions and expand our imaginations. So join us as we reckon with justice.Skye Jethani is an award-winning author, speaker, and co-host of the Holy Post Podcast and co-founder of Holy Post Media.

DateJanuary 26, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we explore Howard Thurman's powerful concept of "Inner Authority" and what it means to truly come alive to ourselves. Through the lens of Christian mysticism and social justice, we discover how the Holy Spirit empowers us to speak truth and act boldly in the face of injustice. Thurman teaches us that spiritual formation and social transformation are inseparable – when we learn to listen deeply to the divine presence within, we find the courage to stand on holy ground and work for justice in community.ReferencesScripture: John 14:15–21About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

David Altheide is the Regents' Professor Emeritus on the faculty of Justice and Social Inquiry in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University and author of many books including his most recent, "Gonzo Governance: The Media Logic of Donald Trump." David Altheide explains how and why Donald Trump was and continues to be so amazingly skilled and gifted at manipulating the American news media – so much so that he was able to easily win back the presidency by defeating Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris. Altheide warns that Donald Trump is now a type of meme and character who cannot be easily countered by traditional understandings of how politics, media, and society are supposed to function in a democracy.

Spiritual & Social TransformationLuke 4:16b-19Jesus stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” (Luke 4:16b-19)Luke 4:18-19 was the only scripture that we had to memorize in our Intro to Theology course in seminary. On the first day of class, our professor declared to us newly initiated students that this Lukan text, if we were truly seeking to understand the depth and breadth of Jesus' life, encapsulated not only who Jesus was but also his mission in the world. This text, taken from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, revealed that Jesus had not come only to bring a spiritual salvation as many of us had been taught. Jesus proclaimed that he had come to bring a social salvation that was to be embodied, practiced, and lived faithfully in the here and now.He had not come to save them only from their spiritual sins in the great by and by but to save them from a society that saw their poverty, their conditions, their imprisonment, and their oppression as sin. He had come to disrupt systems and dismantle structures that threatened their wellbeing and flourishing here on earth. It was personal – it was political – and it was prophetic. In his mission and ministry, no one was to be excluded. Everybody was included. As we enter into this Advent week of joy, Jesus invites us to join him on his mission to all that calls for both a spiritual and a social transformation. For as the text in Isaiah announces, those who do that will receive an everlasting joy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we discuss Paul Starr's book "The Social Transformation of American Medicine", published in 1982. Specifically we focus on the introduction and chapter I, which begins to detail how American medicine went from a largely unorganized, unlicensed, lower class trade in the late 18th/early 19th century to the priestly profession it is today.

They discuss the fast-paced nature of Mark's writing, the political implications of the good news, and the role of John the Baptist as a figure of resistance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of non-compliance and individual action in the face of empire, as well as the transformative power of the wilderness. They also delve into scriptural references and the call to social transformation inherent in the good news of Jesus.Takeaways* Advent is a time of progressive revelation of Jesus.* Mark's Gospel is characterized by its immediacy and urgency.* The good news subverts the empire's narrative.* John the Baptist embodies radical non-compliance.* Non-compliance can be a powerful form of resistance.* Individual actions can lead to collective change.* The wilderness serves as a training ground for transformation.* Scriptural context enriches our understanding of the message.* The good news calls for both personal and social transformation.* Living out the good news requires intentional resistance to the status quo.Titles* Adventing Through the Gospels* Mark: The Gospel of UrgencySound Bites* "Mark just gets on with it."* "I refuse to comply."* "There's more adventing to come."Chapters00:00Adventing: A New Perspective on the Season06:17John the Baptist: The Rebel Voice11:48Resistance Training: Embracing the Wilderness17:54The Call to Transformation and Justice23:27Baptism: A Declaration of Social Transformation29:30Finding Freedom in Resistance32:54Introduction to the Conversation32:54Exploring Personal Growth and Transformation Get full access to Right Side Up: Danielle Strickland at daniellestrickland.substack.com/subscribe

California's Salton Sea region is home to some of the worst environmental health conditions in the country. Recently, however, it has also become ground zero in the new “lithium gold rush”—the race to power the rapidly expanding electric vehicle and renewable energy storage market. The immense quantities of lithium lurking beneath the surface have led to predictions that the region could provide a third of global demand. But who will benefit from the development of this precious resource? Join us as Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor, authors of the new book Charging Forward, show that the questions raised by Lithium Valley lie at the heart of the “green transition.” They weave together movement politics, federal policy, and autoworker struggles, stressing that getting the lithium out from under the earth is just a first step: the real question is whether the region and the nation will get out from under what they say has been the environmental degradation, labor exploitation, and racial injustice that have been as much a part of the landscape as the Salton Sea itself. What happens in Lithium Valley, the authors argue, will not stay there. This tiny patch of California is a microcosm of the broad climate challenges we face; Benner and Pastor argue that understanding Lithium Valley today is the key to grasping the future of our economy and our planet. About the Speakers Chris Benner is the director of the Institute for Social Transformation and the Everett Program for Technology and Social Change at UC Santa Cruz, where he is also the Dorothy E. Everett Chair in Global Information and Social Entrepreneurship and a professor of environmental studies and sociology.

We begin our discussion today by chronicling the House GOP's final budget betrayal and Republicans' sophistry in fretting over a government shutdown. Next, we're joined by Nate Hochman of America 2100, who has done on-the-ground interviews with community members of Charleroi, Pennsylvania. This is a small town in red America that has been overrun by Haitian illegal aliens. Nate explains how local business interests and unsavory GOP politicians have helped bring them in for cheap labor and turned the quaint town into a third world labor barracks at the expense of the locals. This is taking place all across America. We go through housing, transportation, schooling, and culture to show how towns like Charleroi are being overrun and transformed. Clearly, a lot of illegal activity and rule-breaking is occurring for these people to have settled in the town. There is a need for local Republican officials to use ordinances and zoning to stymie the invasion. Red states must use the criminal justice system to go after labor brokers who are engaging in human trafficking that leads to the resettlement of our towns.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In addition to risking a nuclear war with Russia, the United States is stoking greater conflicts in West Asia and China. Ajamu Baraka speaks with Clearing the FOG about his recent tour in Iran where he spoke to a cross-section of people about their concerns and the need for greater international solidarity. Baraka also discusses the responsibility of people, particularly in the collective West, to organize in order to change course away from militarism. He provides an analysis of the upcoming presidential election, the verdict in the case of the Uhuru 3 and why people must avoid aligning themselves with the ruling class, which will stop at nothing to hang onto power.

Street Data: A Next Generation Model for Equity, Pedagogy, and Social Transformation invites readers to rethink this era of high stakes testing and engage in new ways of ensuring growth in school for all learners. Co-author, Dr. Jamila Dugan joins Montessori in Action to talk about equity traps & tropes, street data, and how it can be used to shift the focus in schools.  “We don't need improvement. We need an approach that fundamentally and radically transforms the experiences of children and families at the margins. This is the purpose of centering street data in the process of transformation.”

The majority of individuals who work in this sector are deeply concerned about climate change and deeply motivated and often doing a lot about it in their personal lives but as a sector, we don't really have a vision of what our relationship is to it.  So the kinds of responses range from a kind of silence on it and trying not to look at it directly in the eye to a superficial level of conversation, saying things like touring requires flying : flying bad, therefore, we should stop touring. (Owais Lightwala)When we're living in moments of deep confusion and cultural fragmentation, to be able to offer something that has a simplicity to it or something that allows an audience to just breathe together, I think is the greatest gift that artists can offer audiences. And then when the world becomes less fractured, less fragmented, then the work needs to become more complex because the audience will start demanding, like, help me understand what we need to do differently or how we can live more cohesively or whatever but in this moment, in this country, and certainly I'd say in this city, Calgary, where I'm sitting right now, to be able to offer experiences where people can breathe and feel held and feel respected, even admired for their human experiences, seems to me the primary role of the performing arts (SGS)When I first read the header for the Manifesto for Now project I was immediately drawn in because it said: We are concerned. We should be. It's a crisis. Here are some ideas for how we got here. And where we go next.I'm concerned too. The Manifesto also questions:In this moment of multiple seismic shifts: ecological, technological and social, maybe the performing arts can serve as facilitators for the transformation of humanity.  How? One could argue that all the arts need to undertake this seismic shift and transformation and how is a good question. So I contacted the manifesto's co-authors Owais Lightwala and Sarah Garton Stanley (also known as SGS) and we chatted on July 11th, 2024 about the origins of this rather radical project and its impact so far. Owais is Assistant Professor in the Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University, he's a producer and entrepreneur in the arts and culture worlds who likes to think about big ideas, solve interesting problems, and build better ways of doing things. Among other things he is the founding Director of Chrysalis at the Creative School, a new multidisciplinary performance hub at TMU.SGS self-defines as someone who is into Culture, what it means, how we do it and why we need it. SGS is currently VP of Programming at Arts Commons in Calgary, Alberta, a member of the National Advisory Committee National Creation Fund (NAC), a Board Member Theatre Alberta,  a co-steward at Birchdale and among many things in the past SGS was Creator and lead The Cycle(s) in collaboration with Chantal BIlodeau, about theatre and climate change at the NAC in 2019, which I had the pleasure of working on while I was at Canada Council. You'll hear in our conversation about why the original manifesto was created in April 2023 on the Canvas platform and that they have published 6 of 10 essays so far.The essays are provocative and at times funny. For example, in the first essay, Art is for audiences first, artists second they observe that :People are worried about the climate, groceries, housing, loved ones getting sick, their future… they are NOT asking for more art… They ARE asking for relief. For fresh air. For peace and quiet. For connection. For love. For direction. We need less of what we ARE offering and more of what we are NOT. What if the arts gave people what they need right now? What would change?I love this quote and the opening quotes of this episode that reflect this kind of courageous questioning of the role of art and what kind of art do people need at this time. Their second essay ‘We are not as important as we think we are (or The Shoe Shiners Dilemma), is equally as sharp:We need to make a much better case for what we do. Because we ARE more important than people think we are. Counter-intuitively, we think producing less will create more opportunities for a wider diversity of people to engage with what artists do. Less becomes more. We are all creative, yes, but we need to work together to make a case for our collective brilliance by betting big on individual brilliance.Oh no. Not that trope again about the singularity of the ‘brilliant suffering artist' again, blah blah blah! I disagree or at least I don't understand. So you'll hear that we did not agree on all points but that's part of the fun of a manifesto isn't it, to make us think more deeply, break through some barriers, question some of our rhetoric and assumptions and to take a stand. Who are we as a community and where are we going and, well … who cares? So I was pleased to see that the last of the 10 essays, not yet written, is called  ‘Start here. Your turn', which I think is an invitation for the arts and cultural community to engage with Manifesto for Now and to respond, as openly and as fearlessly as our two colleagues have done so far. Owais recommends: Children of Ruin, a 2019 science fiction novel by British author Adrian Tchaikovsky.SGS recommends :Plurality, the future of collaborative technology and democracyPunditries such as Ezra Klein*Chapters (generated by AI, corrected by Claude Schryer)Introduction to the ManifestoThe host introduces the episode, hinting at the manifesto's significance and the exciting discussion ahead. Meet the GuestsOwais and SGS introduce themselves, sharing their backgrounds in the arts and their current roles. Their diverse experiences set the stage for a rich conversation about the manifesto and its implications.The Manifesto's OriginsThe guests delve into the origins of the manifesto, discussing the questions that sparked their collaboration. They reflect on their shared inquiry into the purpose and impact of the arts in society.The Role of Arts in SocietyThe conversation shifts to the role of the arts in addressing societal issues, particularly in the context of climate change and cultural fragmentation. The guests emphasize the need for artists to engage with audiences meaningfully.Challenging AssumptionsThe discussion takes a critical turn as the guests question the effectiveness of the arts in fostering societal dialogue.

Through a skillful combination of economic and cultural history, this book describes the impact on Moldavia and Wallachia of steam navigation on the Danube. The Danube route integrated the two principalities into a dense network of European roads and waterways. From the 1830s to the 1860s, steamboat transport transformed time and space for the areas that benefited from regular services. River traffic accelerated urban development along the Lower Danube and contributed directly to institutional modernization in one of Europe's peripheries. Beyond technological advances and the transportation of goods on a trans-imperial waterway, steamboat travel revolutionized human interactions, too. Steamboat Modernity: Travel, Transport, and Social Transformation on the Lower Danube, 1830–1860 (CEU Press, 2024) offers a fascinating insight into the social and cultural milieu of the nineteenth century, drawing on first-hand accounts of Danube cruising.  Describing the story of travelers who interacted, met, and visited the places they stopped, Constantin Ardeleanu creates a transnational history of travel up and down the Danube from Vienna to Constantinople. The pleasures and sometimes the travails of the travelers unfold against a backdrop of technical and economic transformation in the crucial period of modernization. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dieumeme Noelliste, author of "Authentic Engagement: The Role of the Church in Social Transformation," shares about the danger of Christians being too timid in their ministry work.

We know that our Christian faith calls us to love ourselves. And yet self-love is often elusive - something we want to have but perpetually struggle with. Why? And how might progressive Christianity help us finally learn to love ourselves, regardless?

How might we practice being human in ways that enable us to love ourselves and heal from the psychological terror of colonial thinking? It won't be easy, but progressive theology can help us craft a renewed understanding of what it means to practice being human, one that fosters an anti-oppressive and liberative way of being in the world.

After the defeat of the Royalist coalition, the last military resistance to the Commonwealth in Ireland are irregular Tories - isolated, cut off from the chain of command, thousands of veteran Irish fights live off the land, establish bases in bogs and hills, and hit the English occupation forces wherever they can. The Commonwealth goes to extreme lengths to crush them. Join the Mailing List! Join the Patreon House of Lords for ad-free episodes!

She is the producer of Iranian Progressives in Translation and socialistfeminism.org.Editor's Note (12/13/23): At multiple points in the conversation, the panelists refer to the accusations that Hamas fighters committed acts of mass sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attacks. While Israeli officials and media outlets have repeatedly affirmed the veracity of these accusations, Israel has not provided requested information to journalists and even to officials at the United Nations attempting to independently investigate and verify the accusations. As Mondoweiss reported on Dec. 8, 2023, “Lurid stories of gang rape, mutilation, and even necrophilia, have been disseminated by the media. This has occurred despite there being no substantive developments in evidence of sexual assaults from the Israeli occupation forces. Israel has repeatedly failed to provide forensic evidence, concrete photographic evidence, or victim testimonies to news organizations beyond inferences made by Israel's forensic teams. Indeed, the Times of Israel alleges that the IOF will never provide forensic evidence because ‘physical evidence of sexual assault was not collected from corpses by Israel's overtaxed morgue facilities,' and it is now, reportedly, too late to collect conclusive evidence… Israel's secrecy remains deafening; the IOF exclusively screened a 47-minute compilation of ‘raw footage' to invited journalists, as opposed to sharing the footage with news agencies to report on and verify independently (Al Jazeera journalists, notably, were not invited to attend). Amongst those invited, journalist Owen Jones saw no ‘conclusive evidence' for torture, sexual violence, rape, or beheadings. Furthermore, despite calling on the UN to condemn Hamas's acts of sexual violence, Israel refuses to cooperate with a UN commission of inquiry into sexual violence committed by Hamas on the ludicrous basis that the UN has ‘an anti-Israel bias.'” Due to the dearth of such evidence provided to journalists by Israeli officials, TRNN can neither confirm nor deny the substance of these allegations.Studio / Post-Production: David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer:Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

This episode delves into higher education for Native students. While colleges and universities around the US are releasing land acknowledgements, the Indigenous students who come from these lands make up only 1% of college students nationally. We know college can be a source of power and strength for our communities, but we also know the experiences of Native students in college can be difficult and heartbreaking. If higher education in predominantly white, colonial, western institutions is potentially very dangerous for Native people: why should we still look to college as a goal for Native students?To help us explore this question, we talk with Dr. Amanda Tachine (Diné), Assistant Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teacher's College, Arizona State University; Dr. Bryan Brayboy (Lumbee), President's Professor in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University; Carmen Lopez (Diné), Executive Director of College Horizons; and Dominick Joseph (Tulalip), a graduate student at The University of Washington.Dr. Tachine's book, “Native Presence and Sovereignty in College:Sustaining Indigenous Weapons to Defeat Systemic Monsters” can be found here: https://www.tcpress.com/native-presence-and-sovereignty-in-college-9780807766132Dr. Brayboy's most recent book, “The School-Prison Trust” can be found here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-school-prison-trustFind out more about College Horizons at https://collegehorizons.orgAnd check out Dom's podcast, “DomJoseph Podcast” at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dom-joseph-podcast/id1452117571  Huge thanks to the AMR team:·       Does All The Things- Teo Shantz·       1st Editor- Jonathan Stein·       2nd Editor- Darrien Camarillo·       Social Media- Lindsey Hightower·       Production Management- Will PaisleyMusic for this episode was provided by Black Belt Eagle Scout. https://www.blackbelteaglescout.com/In this episode we focus solely on white, western institutions, but we want to acknowledge there is also an entire alternative system of Native higher education already in place we hope to explore in a future episode: Tribal Colleges and Universities!
