Religion enormously affects how social, political, and economic systems function. Also known as the anthropology of religion, this fascinating field of research explains a lot about our society – and the individuals who live in it. Joining us to discuss his perspective on religious anthropology is Dr. Jon Mitchell, a Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Sussex. Dr. Mitchell is currently researching “Pilgrimomics,” a program that analyzes pilgrimage across five different faith groups. By looking at various migrant groups across the UK, he is attempting to uncover the economic dimensions of pilgrimage. This reveals exciting information about how and why different religious collectives move through the world, and the economic implications this has… In this discussion, we go over: How biblical archaeology and the anthropology of religion differ from each other.  An overview of the political and religious processes on the island of Malta.  What Europeanization is, and how it affects various societies.  How economies are affected by pilgrimage sites.  You can learn about Dr. Mitchell and his work here!

Do you ever ponder over the evolution and multifaceted nature of camping, its sociopolitical significance, and how it mirrors societal inequalities? Join us and our esteemed guest, Dr. Phoebe Young, professor of History at the University of Colorado, Boulder and author of the book Camping Grounds: Public Nation in American Life from the Civil to the Occupy Movement, as we embark on an enlightening journey into the complex world of camping. From its origins as a family leisure activity post-Civil War to its transformation into a form of political protest, the subtle intricacies and unexpected controversies of camping are revealed. This is an insightful, thought-provoking exploration of camping's evolution. It's a history lesson and societal commentary all rolled into one. The intersection of camping and politics is examined, tracing the trend back to the Civil War era. Can you believe camping has been used as a form of lobbying, too? We address the tension between recreational campers and political campers and investigate the role of camping as a platform for political expression. We also highlight the nuanced issues of diversity and inclusion in outdoor spaces. Finally, we turn our attention to the changing social contract associated with camping and how it has shaped the camping experience. Public amenities, government involvement, and the emergence of alternative camping forms such as glamping are discussed. We even contemplate a new form of social contract that may be emerging in the camping world. So, tune in for an enlightening discussion that not only explores camping but also navigates its profound connection with politics, society, and the social contract.Recommended:Reservation DogsAnything by Rebecca SolnitMerchants of Doubt: Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramPost.newsYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock

He ventures beyond the superficial narratives to offer an in-depth perspective on the sociopolitical climate defining the Trump era and its persisting impacts on today's America. A Closer Look at Populism and the Trump Era - Chris starts the conversation by dissecting the political conundrum of Trump's America. He contemplates Trump as a "placeholder" symbolizing a large segment of American society that feels overlooked and pushed to the sidelines of the political mainstream. How did this dynamic contribute to Trump's rise? What are its lasting implications on the contemporary political landscape? A detailed discussion of these questions sets the stage for the episode. Media Influence & The Battle for Truth - In an era where information is both the weapon and the battlefield, Chris delves into the role of media and its power to shape public perceptions. He touches on the intricacies of media narratives, the changing nature of traditionally respected news sources such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, and the challenging quest for truth in a sea of misinformation and competing narratives. Understanding the Cultural Revolution & Social Loyalty Tests - Chris guides listeners on a fascinating exploration of the societal and cultural shifts happening in today's America. He discusses the emergence of a new cultural "purity test," where compliance with certain societal norms, beliefs, and behaviors is becoming a measure of loyalty.

Minority Rights vs Majority Concerns: A Delicate Balance - Chris engages in a thought-provoking discussion around the perceived over-prioritization of minority rights.

Chris wraps up the episode by turning his gaze outward, pondering how America's actions are seen by the global community. The concluding segment stirs up questions about America's role in the world and how domestic decisions can impact international perceptions. Testing the Boundaries of Privacy and Public Safety - Chris also delves into the broader concerns surrounding privacy in an age where personal information is becoming increasingly accessible. He contemplates how these challenges can potentially alter the relationship between citizens and their government, especially in terms of public safety and individual rights. Unpacking American Patriotism - Chris also takes the time to probe into the changing face of American patriotism, and the role of military and law enforcement personnel in shaping this national ethos. He reflects on the importance of the Constitution as the backbone of American democracy, and how its interpretation can vary among different segments of society.

During a life of intense political engagement, he wrote classic books about the struggle against slavery and the social history of sport, never flinching in his socialist commitment.5. Bob Marley's Peace Gesture Supported Radical Change in Jamaica: An iconic 1978 image shows Bob Marley uniting left- and right-wing party leaders on stage, calling for a truce. Misread as apolitical, his gesture was actually meant to rescue a socialist political movement in danger.6. How C. L. R. James Helped End the Racial Hierarchy of West Indies CricketNo matter how well black West Indies cricketers played before 1960, they never made captain.

Brief Overview of Jamaica's Sociopolitical and Economic Context1. 1492–1960'S: FROM COLUMBUS “BUCK UP” TO INDEPENDENCEHistorically, Jamaica was stratified along racial and class lines stemming from the plantation system.58 Jamaica became a colony of Britain in 1655 after Britain success-fully defeated Spain, which profited from and controlled the island's wealth for a century. Christopher Columbus opened Jamaica to the global trading map in 1492 when he landed accidentally (or “buck up”) on an inhabited West Indian Island. This was the advent of colonial capitalism where European colonists exploited the native Taíno people's labor, abused their women, and annihilated their race in Jamaica. The Taíno Indians, a sub-group of the Arawakan Indians (a group of American Indians in northeastern South America), inhabited the Greater Antilles (comprising Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola[Haiti and the Dominican Republic], and Puerto Rico) in the Caribbean Sea when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.

Report details ‘staggering' church sex abuse in Maryland.More than 150 Catholic priests and others associated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore sexually abused over 600 children and often escaped accountability, according to a long-awaited state report released Wednesday that revealed the scope of abuse spanning 80 years and accused church leaders of decades of coverups.The report paints a damning picture of the archdiocese, which is the oldest Roman Catholic diocese in the country and spans much of Maryland. Some parishes, schools and congregations had more than one abuser at the same time — including St. Mark Parish in Catonsville, which had 11 abusers living and working there between 1964 and 2004. One deacon admitted to molesting over 100 children. Another priest was allowed to feign hepatitis treatment and make other excuses to avoid facing abuse allegations.The Maryland Attorney General's Office released the findings of their yearslong investigation during Holy Week — considered the most sacred time of year in Christianity ahead of Easter Sunday — and said the number of victims is likely far higher. The report was redacted to protect confidential grand jury materials, meaning the identities of some accused clergy were removed.CLICK ON THE LINK FOR THE COMPLETE STORY:Please support the podcast by purchasing the recommended readings:The Wounded Heart: Hope for Adult Victims of Childhood Sexual AbuseLeaving Darkness Behind: Recovery From Childhood Sexual Abuse (APA LifeTools Series)Overcoming Church Hurt & Abuse: Freedom From Past Hurts.

With the social and political divide that intensified in the U.S. after the 2016 election, doctors Peter A. Crist and Edward Chastka, two ACO psychiatrists, started a sociopolitical discussion group in February of 2017. They wanted to give people an opportunity to look at varying social and political views in our country and in the world using principles from their therapy practices that would allow participants to discuss opposing views with an open mind and get to the heart of the problem. The two doctors taught the group basic principles about how people think and express themselves, so that participants were then able to apply those precepts to working with others in the group, in other social and political situations, and in their personal lives.

What are some things that you're seeing the landscape around this topic? What do you think the church should respond to?

Hungary has increasingly become a hot topic among leftists and an example to follow for the right-wing around the Western world. The hardline rhetoric and actions from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán are alarmingly effective, giving him unprecedented popularity both inside and outside Hungary's borders. Orbán and his cabinet are unapologetically conservative and traditional, recklessly offensive, unafraid to challenge and mock liberal ideology. This guy doesn't give a fuck about your feelings! Join us as we interview sociopolitical researcher and doctoral candidate Eszter Kováts and dive deep into Hungary's resurgence as a right-wing juggernaut, the social and political moment of Hungary, and fundamental lessons for the left. Eszter Kováts is a PhD student of Political Science at the University ELTE Budapest, her research focus: the enemy image of "gender ideology" in the global context of strengthening the right and in connection with developments in progressive politics. Between 2012 and 2019, she was responsible for the gender programme of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung for Eastern Central Europe in Budapest. Femina Politica recently published (2018/1) "Conservative Counter-Movements? Overcoming Culturalising Interpretations of Right-Wing Mobilizations Against 'Gender Ideology'". She regularly writes on Hungarian politics, East-West inequalities in Europe, the care crisis, and the political controversies around the term 'gender'.

Since the turn of the millennium, protests, meetings, schoolrooms, reading groups and many other social forms have been proposed as artworks or, more ambiguously, as interventions that are somewhere between art and politics. Kim Charnley's Sociopolitical Aesthetics: Art, Crisis and Neoliberalism (Bloomsbury, 2021) traces key currents of theory and practice, mapping them against the dominant experience of the last decade: crisis. Drawing upon leading artists and theorists within this field – including Hito Steyerl, Marina Vishmidt, Art & Language, Gregory Sholette, John Roberts and Dave Beech – Sociopolitical Aesthetics argues for a new interpretation of the relationship between socially-engaged art and neoliberalism. Kim Charnley explores the possibility that neoliberalism has destabilized the art system so that it is no longer able to absorb and neutralize dissent. As a result, the relationship between aesthetics and politics is experienced with fresh urgency and militancy. Kim Charnley speaks to Pierre d'Alancaisez about the political punditry of Artist Taxi Driver and the political sloganeering of Tim Etchells, the limits of institutional sociality in the work of Tania Bruguera, the various guises of institutional critique, and what these developments owe to the conceptual art practices of the 1970s.

Some of the things they touch on during the show are: -What would our world look like today if all Christians took their calling to evangelize this world seriously? -How can Christian business owners use their influence to change society? -Why are people responding in other countries to the Gospel message in such a different way than what we see in America? - What more can we be doing to change our culture and current the current worldview of what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century?

We at Forager Health and many others in the chiropractic community consider Zachary Riles Conner as a no less than a Modern Renaissance Man. Zach is a POWERHOUSE of clarity, presence, love, and understanding, stemming from what I can only describe as his infallible pursuit to follow his genuine calling in life, and to consistently push his limits to do so in the most efficient & yet, holistically mindful ways possible. Zach is often seen playing a role of the Warrior Archetype, putting himself out there on the front lines in battle against ignorance to aide in the evolution of our understanding as a society toward a collective awakening to the truth that all can and does ‘begin and end' at Unconditional Love.  In this discussion we peel back the layers of our short-term motives and perspectives as members of a world-wide community in dissection of the implications of mankind's current state of Being. In doing so, we inevitably end up coming to a place where time horizons are expanded, and comforting truths backed by Universal Principles are explained and elaborated on. We find common ground in a Knowing that in the end of all tumultuous periods, Life will always tend to arrive at a brighter, more positive, more expressive complex of systems than whatever history's previous peaks of Awareness may have looked like.  This conversation, like any with Zachary Riles Conner, is NOT one to be missed. If you are new to hearing Zach speak, or you have been holding back on tuning in to the show, there has never been a better time.  SHOW NOTES: https://www.facebook.com/ZacharyRConner (Zachary Riles Conner on Facebook ) https://www.instagram.com/chirozach/ (Zachary Riles Conner on Instagram) https://onegreatworknetwork.com/zach-conner (Zach's Intro to his Purpose and Principles Series ) https://www.facebook.com/ThePath.DSC (The Path - Delta Sigma Chi's podcast ) ——— The Trivium https://www.rungalife.com/ (Joe Di Stephano) https://amzn.to/3uoAaJ8 (Power vs. Force by David R.

Invisible and Scrutinized An interview with Dr. Sheila Modir on racial trauma and identity within the Middle Eastern North African (MENA) population. Curt and Katie talk with Sheila about how MENA individuals are impacted by racial profiling, prejudice, and the lack of data on the MENA community. We also explore typical coping strategies as well as how therapists can support MENA clients.      It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age. Interview with Dr. Sheila Modir Dr. Sheila Modir is a pediatric psychologist at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC). She obtained a combined doctoral degree in Clinical, Counseling, and School Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara and her master’s degree in social welfare at UCLA. Prior to coming to CHOC, Dr. Modir completed her doctoral internship at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior where she worked at the UCLA Stress, Trauma, and Resilience Clinic. Her research interests include racial trauma and understanding risk and resilience factors in the context of trauma, and she has presented at conferences and published articles on this topic. Most recently, she has written a children’s book (coming fall 2021) called The Proudest Color, which is a timely and sensitive introduction to race, racism, and racial pride for children. In this episode we talk about: MENA (Middle Eastern and North African) clients The common mistake of assuming that all MENA clients are Muslim A lack of data on immigration and the demographics of these clients The lack of clinical research and education on MENA clients An invisible community that is greatly scrutinized due to profiling The layers of racial trauma Bronson Brenner’s ecological model: Sociopolitical discrimination, Institutional discrimination, Relational discrimination due to “cultural ignorance” The consistent portrayal of MENA individuals as terrorists, the Middle East as war-torn MENA individuals called terrorists versus white individuals called “lone wolves” who are “mentally ill” The impact of how the insurrection in January is viewed as “white terrorism” What influences racism and bias against MENA clients The typical coping strategies for MENA clients related to racial trauma Resignation, cowering, “getting used to it” leading to depression and anxiety Coping strategies, including education and being a cultural representative The contrast between the Asian American community pushing back against the “model minority” while MENA clients are aspiring to be a model minority The importance of identification of MENA individuals on the census How the Muslim Ban has impacted MENA individuals’ relationship with the government Clients minimizing, denying, not disclosing racial trauma The thirst for appropriate and accurate information on culture The benefit of affinity groups How non-MENA therapists can best support MENA clients The nuance of asking a MENA client to educate you as a therapist Collectivist culture and how it shows up in the room, how it can be complicated The challenge of cultural sensitivity when there is little research A call to action regarding research and education A Message from Therapy Reimagined: Therapy Reimagined 2021 – The Modern Therapist Conference Our Call for Sponsors is out!

What can a 1948 Supreme Court case teach us about trends in 2021? On this episode of Loud And Clear we talk to John Stallé, a Digital Strategist and Thinker who questions the status quo, and takes a step back to offer his perspective on today's digital landscape. In this episode Stallé goes back as 1948 where he connects the influence of "The Paramount Decrees" and how this started to define the way content is distributed and ultimately consumed. It's been eight years that we have discussed, analyzed and published our digital trends reports which ultimately talk about content consumption of some sort and fall in one of the following buckets defined by John: TOUCHLESS EXPERIENCES TECHLASH IRL TO URL VIRTUAL GAME NIGHT SOCIAL ACTIVISM REMOTE LEARNING Join us and see how these trends ultimately have impacted the Sociopolitical, Economic and even Medical fields. #LoudAndClear Guest: John Stallé, Digital Strategist at The Richards Group Producer: Rolf Ruiz, Digital Strategist, Creative Technologist & Agricultor at LERMA/ Host: Francisco Cardenas, Principal of Digital and Social Strategy at LERMA/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lerma-agency/message

In episode 2, called "Socio Political Theater, Say What?," Marta & Mandy talk with Jenn Stiles Williams and Steve MacKinnon, ministry partners at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Orlando, Florida. Using the first chapter of Drew Hart's book, “Who Will Be A Witness” as guide, we explore sociopolitical theater in both the time of Jesus, and in our current day. We’re invited to consider how we can weaponize empathy as we join in God’s plan for justice, love and deliverance.

On today’s episode of Vital Metabolic, hosts James Wheeler and John Parker speak with Awais Spall, a published cannabis researcher from Revibe CBD. At Revibe, Awais and his team have been able to develop a transdermal formulation with which CBD can be applied as a topical product. There is so much interesting science that lies behind CBD and its relationship with the human body, and Awais is here to talk all about it!   Episode Highlights:  You can buy CBD pretty much everywhere right now, so it’s time for the public to educate themselves. 6:50 Awais has been able to develop a transdermal formulation so people can apply a topical product as compared to smoking or swallowing. 7:20 There are dozens of types of cannabinoids and scientists are constantly discovering new ones. 8:23 Cannabidiol (CBD) is the cannabinoid that scientists find is the most powerful in the cannabis plant. 9:00 CBD interacts with your metabolic pathways in ways that help your body recover faster after exercise. 10:05 Everyone’s endocannabinoid chemistry is unique, bringing people different “highs” after working out. 11:30 Receptor densities in receptors that help deal with chronic stress have shrunk throughout human evolution. 12:22 High doses of antioxidants post-workout are counterproductive to muscle recovery. 13:42 CBD is adaptogenic to cortisol levels post-workout, lowering harmful T cells. 14:40 Chronic stress can cause adrenal fatigue if there is an unhealthy relationship with the hypothalamus. 16:08 Sociopolitical factors have slowed and stunted CBD research and the positive effects that it can have on the body. 17:16 There lies a difference in the clinical setting and the research setting. 18:17 Someone who is chronically stressed is more likely to get stuck in that stage when taking CBD than someone with a different biochemical status. 19:04 Some natural products that are on the market have no transdermal element to get the CBD into your system. 20:55 Pharma-style products use high quantities of endocrine-disrupting chemicals to get CBD into your system, but these are incredibly toxic. 21:39 Due to regulations around CBD, there is a race to the bottom, and the CBD world is a dirty one. 23:02 MSM is a type of salt and has been known to disrupt the gut lining when taken orally. 25:22 Taking MSM topically allows CBD to enter the system by signaling nerves to loosen up on the amount of calcium that they are letting through, thus decreasing nerve pain. 26:40 CBD is an effective treatment method for a plethora of pain conditions when properly administered. 28:13 Pharmaceuticals damage your body’s natural ability to deal with pain over time. 30:20 People should off-cycle CBD during the week so their bodies can rebound and it will be more effective. 31:40 A combination of Kratom and CBD has shown mixed results amongst those that are recovering from addiction. 33:20 The differences between full-spectrum and isolate CBD extracts and what those mean for consumers. 34:56 Combining CBD and THC can have great effects fully depending on the settings of each dose. 39:23 Breaking down the effects of combining the Ketogenic Diet with CBD when treating degenerative diseases. 42:10 Our bodies have receptors that suggest we have evolved around cannabinoids and other compounds in nature. 44:59 Plants have been here much longer than humans and have played their part in spreading all over the world. 50:00 Spiritual elements throughout life should not be completely disregarded because they have not been proven yet. 52:11 People are finally realizing all the different factors that play into a healthy lifestyle and how to supplement that life. 55:30   3 Key Points: Through his research, Awais and his team have been able to develop a topical form of CBD that helps heal the mind and the body. Due to the fact that human beings have unique biochemistry to those around them, everyone reacts differently to CBD. Based on endocrine system chemistry from individual to individual, CBD has been shown to be an effective treatment with pain-based conditions.   Tweetable Quotes:  “You can actually take CBD post-workout and it’s not going to blunt the exercise stress, it’s actually going to help out.” - James Wheeler “They’re getting lower percentage of delta sleep when they are taking CBD orally, so the question is what’s going on biochemically?” - Awais Spall “They’re natural. It kind of has some bee’s wax in it. There’s no mechanism to drive CBD into your circulation...it’s a beauty product at that point.” - Awais Spall “You’re actually putting CBD into your body. I think people forget that sometimes.” - Awais Spall “When you put anything on your skin...the skin is going to absorb that stuff...With CBD, we need good stuff.” - John Parker “This is the biggest problem with pharmaceuticals, they damage your endocannabinoids and reduce your body’s natural receptors over time.” - Awais Spall   Resources Mentioned:  James: Facebook Instagram Twitter John: Facebook Instagram Twitter Email: questions@vitalmetabolic.com Sponsor: Kettlebell Gains Apparel (Discount: Vital20) Sponsor: Great Lakes Giriya (Discount: Vital20) Sponsor: Vivo Barefoot (Discount: Vital20) Sponsor: Revibe CBD (Discount: Vital20) The Secret Life of Plants (book)

Image: Painting by Najma Ahmed, founder of Nujuum Arts. Based in Mogadishu and Hargaisa. Somalia/ somaliland. More information available here: https://web.marcelforart.com/nujuum_hashi/about The geopolitical conditions within which Somalia was born cannot be divorced from the conditions that institutionalized themselves in 1884/85 at what has come to be called the Scramble for Africa at the conference convened in Berlin, the Congo Conference. During the Conference where European white supremacist decided it was their right to divide the lands to which they had no affinity other than economic motives, the geographical region of Somalia was divided into three parts: British & Italian Somalia [gaining independence 1960—immediately untied, forming greater Somalia], and French Somalia [gaining independence in 1977, becoming Djibouti]. Other historical influences that produced current Somalia, are located in the conditions that surround the periods when the Ethiopian Empire took over [Ogaden] and Kenya took over [Northern Frontier District] regions. These historical conditions bolstered by exacerbating and fomenting divisions among the various groups of people who live in the region are important to understand as they directly impact the environments within which the people live today. To erroneously label Somalia as a fail state, instead of a collapsed state, distorts the how and why the region is in a state of intentional conflict accelerated at the behest of Western foreign capitalist interest that have historical roots in the many attempts to control the region; that is the wars between European cultural groups and the sociopolitical, cultural ‘Others' they created as their ‘enemies'. To be clear, upon closer analysis the real threat of the region is the fact that the people of Somalia are really showing that the nation state is not the only system upon which peoples can organize themselves. What do I mean, the people in the region have been functioning against the imposition of foreign structures that have cause internal conflict for over 30+ years. If left to organize themselves on the trajectory they were ancestrally on before the intentional and aggressive efforts of Western nations to destabilize the region for its own economic and geopolitical ends, Somalia as we know it would be what it once was erroneously labelled, the Switzerland of Africa. The reason I say erroneously labeled [but still useful to highlight the point]; the model of peaceful sociopolitical organization should not be limited to a European nation. This label, also, dismisses the deep logics and sociopolitical histories of African peoples who organized themselves into civilizations before the creation of the nation state. These histories and logics are in the ancestral membrane of the people. And the peoples of Somalia, despite the distorted narrative and images are exemplar to this fact [https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/aljazeeraworld/2016/10/somalia-forgotten-story-161027115655140.html]. Today, AWNP's, Mwiza Munthali is in conversation with, Mr. Abukar Arman. Abukar Arman is a former diplomat, once serving as Somalia's Special Envoy to the US. As a Somali political analyst, he is widely published on issues related to foreign policy, Islam, the Horn of Africa, and extremism among other topics.

Note: This program was produced and aired in 2017. Kwame Nkrumah, Ghana's first prime minister and president after declaring their independence on March 6, 1957…founding member of the Organization of African Unity, wrote in the preface of the 1969 second edition of his work titled Consciencism: Philosophy and Ideology for Decolonization that: “Since the publication of the 1st edition of Consciencism in 1964, the African revolution has decisively entered a new phase, the phase of armed struggle. In every part of our continent, African revolutionaries are either preparing for armed struggle, or actively engaged in military operations against the forces of reaction and counter-revolution. The issues are now clearer than they have ever been. The succession of military...” [https://www.sahistory.org.za/archive/consciencism-philosophy-and-ideology-de-colonization-kwame-nkrumah]. According to historian John Henrik Clarke in his 1974 article titled Kwame Nkrumah: His Years in America, "the influence of the ten years that he spent in the United States would have a lingering effect on the rest of his life." Key to the maturation of his sociopolitical thought, it is during these 10 years, Kwame Nkrumah, along with Nnamdi Azikiwe the first president of Nigeria attended Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Dr. Clarke goes on to suggest that “there is no way to understand the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, or any other man, without also understanding the country in which he was born and to what extent that country and the circumstances of his birth did influence the total of his life...” Today, Africa World Now Project Radio will bring you a recent exploration into the Social and Political Philosophy of Kwame Nkrumah with Dr. Kofi Kissi Dompere. Dr. Dompere is professor of economics at Howard University. He is author of many scientific and scholarly works in economics, philosophy, and decision theory. Some of this work includes his 2006, Polyrhythmicity; his 2017, The Theory of Philosophical Consciencism: Practice Foundations of Nkrumaism in Social Systemicity; 2006, African Union: Pan African Analytical Foundations; 2017, The Theory of Categorial Conversion: Rational Foundations of Nkrumaism in Socio-natural Systemicity and Complexity; 1995, Epistemics of Development Economics: Toward a Methodological Critique and Unity.

My thoughts have turned from individual health to the collective... and I feel I am not alone. In this episode, I share something I wrote on the topic of the cultural transformation that we are in the midst of right now. We might call it a coronavirus pandemic, but I think we can also agree that our culture and world will never ever be the same - and this is a good thing as far as I'm concerned! Read my full essay on Medium: https://medium.com/@drbenjaminalter/global-pandemic-or-growing-pains-or-maybe-both-1aaf20d2801c Some takeaways... We are 'growing up' and growth isn't ever easy Sociopolitical generalizations are dissolving, and this is a good thing Humans are essentially identical and share so much common ground - let's focus there Power comes from inner peace, not reaction or revolt Fear of the unknown is normal, and can be alternatively viewed as excitement We encourage you to come on into the Facebook group and join the Plant Based & Stress Free community at www.facebook.com/groups/alterhealth Hope you enjoy!

If we had a different type of society—-where who you love, who you’re attracted to, had no social, political, economic, or safety implications—- coming out wouldn’t be a thing. Feminists argue that the personal is political. The past few days since coming out publicly, I’ve been struck by the profound truth of this assertion. This shouldn’t have to be a thing. How much more joy would we have in our lives, in our world, if coming to terms with your sexuality didn’t even have to be a process? What would the world look like if this wasn’t a thing you had to come to terms with? How much more present could we be for the people we love, the work that we do, the communities we’re part of? This bonus episode digs into these questions, and delves a bit into my upbringing to give context to my story of wrestling with my sexuality. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-liz/support

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast. On this episode, Nate and DeViney dive headlong into COVID-19, and that the coronavirus outbreak entails. Nate is somewhat confident this will digress into a worldwide pandemic, however he expresses less confidence in the preparedness of the medical-industrial infrastructure (pharmaceutical firms, et al, e.g.), while his counterpart disputes this by expressing more confidence in American pharmaceuticals than any other element of these crises. Next, they discuss the potential economic consequences of a pandemic. There is a bit of a discussion surrounding supply side or demand side contributions to recession. Nate again asserts the weakness he sees in the supply side, while DeViney maintains that while, yes, Apple and Best Buy may have their worst two quarters on record, Duracell and Proctor Gamble may have two of their best upcoming fiscal quarters on record, and the only weakness he sees, ultimately, is the fever pitch screams of the mainstream media inciting overreaction(s). Lastly, the team explores the politics of this matter. Is the media overblowing this? Has President Trump sounded a big enough alarm? Tune in and have a listen.

This past August, several former commanders of Colombia's largely demobilized Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) released a video in which they announced a “new phase of armed struggle.” What this video signaled more than anything, was a clear reminder the peace accord is directly related to the conditions on the ground—the conditions of violence and poverty as they are proliferated and exacerbated by Colombia's elite and attendant corruption at various levels of government (https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/09/08/how-to-keep-the-colombian-peace-deal-alive-farc-duque-uribe-colombia/). In the words of one of the local residents—Luis, a seventy-three-year-old—living in one of the areas targeted for development, FARC, operating there since 1981, has long been viewed as “a useful group . . . they have been the presence of law in the face of state absence” (https://jacobinmag.com/2019/08/colombia-farc-hidroituango-demining-coca-campesinos). In areas, such as this, that have never seen police or government officials, the FARC organized communal work groups to fix local paths, imposed a minimum wage, resolved domestic disputes, and punished criminals. However, the dynamics of FARC presence in the area changed in the late 1990s to 2003, when right-wing paramilitary groups entered the region in force (https://jacobinmag.com/location/colombia). Today, AWNP's, Mwiza Munthali recently spoke with our friend and colleague, Gimena Sánchez-Garzoli. Gimena Sanchez-Garzoli is currently a Senior Associate for the Andes at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), where she is the leading Colombia human rights advocate. We then turn our attention to Brazil, exploring the current sociopolitical and ecological crises and the implications of Afro Brazilians with Juliana Borges. In recent months, fires in the Amazon Rainforest have put a spotlight on the planetary harmful deforestation occurring there. Just before the September 23 United Nations Climate Action Summit, Human Rights Watch released the report Rainforest Mafias: How Violence and Impunity Fuel Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon. According to the report, “Every day, people in Brazil put themselves at risk to defend the Amazon rain-forest from illegal logging. … For Brazil to meet its Paris Agreement commitment, it will need to rein in the criminal groups that are driving much of the deforestation…”. Next, we will hear a talk delivered by Juliana Borges (https://uniondocs.org/people/juliana-borges/). Ms. Juliana Borges is an Afro-Brazilian researcher, writer, anthropologist, and activist working on issues related to racism, gender, drug policy, incarceration, and violence. She is part of the National Council of Brazilian Platform for Drug Policy Reform, a consultant at the Brazilian Bar Association/Sao Paulo Section on confrontation, monitoring, and memory of torture and violence. In addition, she recently published a book on Racism and the War of Drugs in Brazil, titled, “Encarceramento em Massa (Feminismos Plurais),” a book from the “Plural Feminisms” collection. She is a consultant for the Perseu Abramo Foundation in the area of violence studies, and a consultant for the project “They exist—women in prison,” which works in Rio de Janeiro women's prisons (https://sur.conectas.org/en/black-women-under-fire/). Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!

Planning for climate change is particularly difficult because we're dealing with such big unknowns. How, exactly, will the climate change? Who will be affected and how? What new innovations are possible, and how might they help address or exacerbate the current problem? Etc. But we at least know that in order to minimize the negative effects of climate change, we need to make major structural changes — to our energy systems, to our infrastructure, to our power structures — and we need to start now. On the fifth episode of Not Cool, Ariel is joined by Ken Caldeira, who is a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science and the Department of Global Ecology and a professor at Stanford University's Department of Earth System Science.

There's a poem by Portia Nelson called “There's a hole in my sidewalk”. In it, she keeps going down the street, falls in the hole in the sidewalk, and struggles to get out. The poem is about repeating patterns that ultimately hurt you. The punchline? Walk down another street. In this episode, we Dawds discuss sociopolitical revolutions and the effectiveness of protests and movements that hope to precede them. We meander through various texts and ideas that have come about from the study of such historically significant (and insignificant) events. But in the end there are more questions than answers. -Dawdlers 00:02:56 – Ryan starts it off with some anecdotal shlock about protests he's seen // A proportional analogy // Power, etc. 00:25:05 - The Arab Spring and Occupy movements // The effectiveness of protest 00:37:53 – Understanding revolution // A unified theory of revolution // New approaches to protest // Memes as the leaders 01:14:17 – Structuralism // Median age theory of revolution // Resource enrichment episodic synchrony (again and again!!) // Early 20th Century high school movement 01:36:56 – Socrates on democracy 01:48:58 – The Sunflower Revolution // vTaiwan // Consensus making 02:02:53 – Breaking the cycle // What do we want?

In his poem “Countries want independence, nations want liberation, and the people, the people want revolution”, Amiri Baraka writes: “Revolutionary Unity gained only thru strugglelong sought formust be fought forRevolutionary Unitya fiery beacon in a world made perpetual nightby imperialismThe basis of struggle Unity Revolutionary UnityUnity gained thru struggleThe basis of the party yet to be builtin a land of "instant everythings" (Oct, 1979) On today's programs, we will hear Critical Reflections on the Organic Nature of Africana Sociopolitical Thought and Cultural Resistance: Contributions from Amiri Baraka w/ Tom Porter. This program is a mix of poetry, music, and various interviews with and on Amiri Baraka that focus on exploring the organic nature of and practical application of forms of resistance. The underlining premise of exploration is centered upon asking the simple question: How can culture be used as a platform for critiquing and creating a world beyond struggle? This organic process of thinking and doing is central to Africana sociopolitical thought that informs its resistance. The cornerstone of critical consciousness formation. The program ends with a conversation I had with Tom Porter, who represents the Black Radical Tradition in all of its manifestations. A close friend of Amiri Baraka, Professor Porter is still, today, an important activist intellectual who has contributed his life to fighting for a world beyond struggle. A veteran activist, educator, radio host and jazz critic, Tom Porter has run for political office in Ohio, served as Director of Antioch Graduate program, and runs a jazz music promotion organization. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native, indigenous, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.

2017.02.05 DNA is a master key that unlocks medical and forensic secrets, but its genealogical life is also revelatory. Tracing genealogy is now the second-most popular hobby amongst Americans. This billion-dollar industry has spawned popular television shows, websites, and a booming heritage tourism circuit. However, this talk reveals how genetic genealogy is also being propelled into a variety of sociopolitical uses, including kin-keeping, reparations politics, citizenship projects, and public commemoration.

Julia Fisher talks to a Palestinian Christian - This week we return to The Gathering, an event that occurred in late 2016 when thousands of Christians from many nations of the world, the majority from China and the Far East, gathered in Jerusalem along with local Messianic Jewish believers and Arab Christians. My guest today is a Palestinian Christian from Jerusalem … he was one of the organisers … I asked him whether, as a Palestinian, he felt fully accepted by the rest of the mainly Jewish leadership team. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Julia Fisher talks to a Palestinian Christian - Recently, whilst in Jerusalem I visited a large conference called The Gathering where 5,000 Christians had gathered from the nations – many of them from China and the Far East – to worship God together with believers from Israel, both Jews and Arabs. As you will hear, this was an enthusiastic and noisy event! However one of the most significant people there was a Palestinian Christian … his story is both brave and unusual and for his safety, he remains anonymous. Our aim is to build bridges... To build bridges of understanding and support, in a spirit of reconciliation, between believers (both Jewish and Arab) in the Holy Land (Israel and the Palestinian Areas) and Christians worldwide. olivetreefund.org

Sociopolitical commentary happens on this episode. You have been warned. But seriously, let's talk about law and order... On the show we discuss that Brazzers Overwatch thing, More NX bollocks, Ubisoft possibly breaking UK pornography laws, and Virginia followups. You'll need plenty of stamina for this one!

Can HipHop shape political consciousness and social awareness? The studies say no, but my old Africa medallions say yes. Even if we accept that HipHop has that power, it damn sure doesn't seem as though it's being exerted today. Andre Cole (@andrecole) and Dr. Adolphus Belk (@abjrphd) join J (@HipHopTaliban) to take a look at the (alleged) power of HipHop to raise a generation of rebels. And they say you can't fight City Hall, but you can certainly use it to get a punk park employee in hot water! 01:43:29 — J & Da Mayor 02:02:10 — Political 3 - Three songs that shaped us

After an unintentional hiatus, Shana and Daniel are back and continuing to discuss Patrick Troughton stories with this: The Enemy of the World, basically just looking through the lens of the massive and amazing cast of characters in the thing. Also: budding feminism and buried sexism, The Amazing Ass of Astrid, and how we decide as societies who has authority and who doesn't.  Main Topic: The Enemy of the World. Volcanoes in Doctor Who. "The Incredibles" in ten years old. Troughton's dual role. Shana does not give a shit about technical specifications of black-and-white Who episodes. Helicopters. Skin-tight latex jumpsuits. Retro-futurism. Who does Bond. A prisoner in a corridor. Passing the Bechdel test. Salamander. Troughton as Tony Montana. Sandcastles and dictators. Jamie and Victoria. "For the Dads" characters. Daniel says something very non-PC about the way Victoria fills out her costume. Astrid and the Ass of Astrid. Salamander and Kent. Daniel spoils Orwell. Benek. Audio gifs? Badass Fariah. The richest black character in all of Doctor Who. The Amazing Reg Lye. Shana's Sam Seely obsession. The ordinary characters sell the worldbuilding. Federin the Jew? Jiri Pravda! The underground scientists. How meta is this episode? Wrapping up.   Find Our Stuff!  Find us on iTunes! Or Facebook! We love email (oispacemanpodcast@gmail.com)!
