Spaces of Anticolonialism: Delhi's Urban Governmentalities (U Georgia Press, 2025) is the first book-length account of anticolonialism in Delhi, as the capital of Britain's empire in India. It pioneers a spatial governmentality analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and hidden spaces of anticolonial parrhesia, or courageous speech and actions, in the two decades before independence in 1947. Reading across imperial and nationalist archives, newspapers, memoirs, oral histories, and interviews, Stephen Legg exposes subaltern geographies and struggles across both the new and old cities, which have traditionally been neglected in favor of the elite spaces of New Delhi. Presenting the dual cities as one interconnected political landscape, Legg studies Indian National Congress efforts to mobilize and marshal support between the mass movements of Civil Disobedience (1930-34) and Quit India (1942-43). The book's six chapters compare the two movements in terms of their public spaces of nonviolent anticolonialism, their problematization by violence, and their legacies. This bottom-up analysis, focused on the streets, bazaars, neighborhoods, homes, and undergrounds of the two cities, foregrounds the significance of physical and political space; it  highlights the pioneering role of women in crafting these spaces; and it exposes the microtechniques that Congress used to encourage Gandhi's nonviolence and to tolerate its testing in the face of the rising popularity of the radical left. Legg's rereading of Michel Foucault's final lectures on parrhesia produces a bold new approach to questions of postcolonialism, resistance, and South Asian governmentalities. This allows anticolonialism to be read not as an outside but as a coherent and bottom-up project of self-transformation and space-making that was elite coordinated but whose sovereignty lay with a disobedient and not always nonviolent public. This book provides an innovative and restive historical geography of spaces of anticolonialism in the capital of contemporary India's 1.4 billion people.

In this episode of Soul Elevation, I was honored to sit down with Raymon Grace, a powerful, down-to-earth teacher known for making dowsing and energy work feel practical, accessible, and empowering. Raymon shares the core principles behind his work, including the idea that all things are energy, that energy follows thought, and that the human mind can intentionally direct energy to create real-world change. This conversation is packed with stories, live demonstrations, and straight talk about personal sovereignty. We explore energy hygiene in everyday spaces like schools, workplaces, and homes, plus Raymon's perspective on clearing negative influences, transforming heavy environments into harmony, and reclaiming the freedom to live from your own inner authority. You'll also hear Raymon's approach to using a pendulum as a tool (not a source of power), how intention and confidence change outcomes, and why he believes the most important thing isn't what he can do, but what you can learn to do for yourself.   In this episode, we cover: Why Raymon believes freedom is the foundation of a sovereign life The core idea behind his work: energy is impressed upon matter and energy follows thought How he uses dowsing to evaluate and clear energy in schools, including what he checks first How intention can be used to shift the energetic quality of spaces, people, and environments Real-time demonstrations and stories that illustrate how results build confidence Why Raymon teaches energy tools to parents, and why he cares deeply about kids and schools Stories about transforming environments, including accounts involving water, land, and weather patterns Why he emphasizes self-empowerment over dependency, and how to start practicing simply How to connect with Raymon's work and resources   Resources and links: Raymon Grace websites: https://www.RaymonGrace.us and https://www.raymongracefoundation.org  Explore Kara's sanctuary of support at https://www.karagoodwin.com (book, free meditations, workshops, summits, and live experiences) Subscribe to my new Soul Meditation CLIPS channel for more inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/@SoulElevationClips?sub_confirmation=1    Support the show If this episode uplifted you, please like, subscribe, comment, and share.

What if a play party could be a personal development practice in disguise? In this episode, Christina sits down with Yossef Sagi, sexuality and relationship coach and the visionary behind Mystery Temple, Almost Temple, and the Kinky Classroom. A former teacher of Kabbalah and children's education, Yossef shares his journey from sexual repression to integrating the erotic as a path to healing, growth, and authenticity. This session also includes live contributions from WeDeepen Love Club members Lauri and Mike, who share real-world experiences navigating these spaces. Topics Discussed: The difference between Mystery Temple (a sober, intentional play space) and Almost Temple (a practice in anticipation). Why learning the biology and psychology of kink can enhance even the most "vanilla" relationship. Why these spaces are strictly sober, and what changes when "social lubricants" are removed. Boundaries vs. agreements, and how couples can create safety while allowing exploration. Why consent training is a non-negotiable foundation for a high-integrity environment. How "erotic avatars" can help you access dormant parts of your psyche.

In this Thursday episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we bring an academic lens to bookish culture, genre fiction, and the conversations shaping romance and romantasy today. Our podcast blends literary analysis, cultural criticism, and emotional honesty. We treat romance, romantasy, and fanfiction as genres worthy of serious discussion, not just quick takes. This episode is part of our Subtext Society series, inspired by The Subtext Society Journal. The Subtext Society Journal is a collaborative publication dedicated to thoughtful essays on romance, romantasy, fan culture, and publishing ethics. We explore moral questions, genre evolution, power dynamics, and the real-world impact of stories, guided by values of literary rigor without gatekeeping, community over hierarchy, and ethics-first analysis. Today's discussion focuses on the article: “Is Dark Romance Allowing a Dark Space?” Using the Sinners and Stardust controversy as a case study, we examine accountability in fandom spaces, consent versus cosplay, and whether increased freedom within romance and dark romance has been misunderstood or misused. This conversation challenges us to hold women to the same ethical standards as men, interrogate harmful behavior without demonizing the genre itself, and ask how communities can protect spaces meant to feel safe. Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and non-consensual behavior. Listener discretion is advised. These Subtext Society episodes are designed to be reflective, critical, and grounded— creating space for nuance, responsibility, and care within the bookish community.

Design is more than aesthetics—it's about understanding how people live, move, and connect with their spaces. In this episode, Kristin Mullen and I explore how sourcing, observation, and thoughtful decision-making shape interiors that feel authentic and functional. From Round Top to kitchen design to client relationships, the conversation reveals why the best work begins with listening and ends with purpose. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware – A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home! TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep A thoughtful conversation on antiques, design philosophy, client trust, and why the most successful spaces are built on intention rather than trends. You are going to hear from designer Kristin Mullen. We’re exploring the deeper thinking behind successful interior design—where process, perspective, and human behavior matter as much as aesthetics. The conversation opens with a discussion of the Round Top Antiques Show, which Kristin describes as an essential destination for designers seeking character, craftsmanship, and pieces with history. While digital sourcing has its place, both agree that nothing replaces the experience of seeing and understanding objects in person. Round Top, in particular, offers an immersive environment that encourages discovery, education, and creative connection. From there, the conversation turns inward, examining how a designer's background and worldview shape their approach. Kristin shares how her early training in speech and language pathology sharpened her ability to read clients, recognize unspoken preferences, and interpret behavior—skills that now inform every project she takes on. That sensitivity, paired with her passion for antiques, results in spaces that feel layered, personal, and grounded in story rather than surface-level trends. A central theme throughout the episode is redefining what “value” means in design. Josh and Kristin challenge the idea that good design is about price or status. Instead, they discuss how meaningful spaces come from clarity, intention, and thoughtful editing. The role of the designer, they explain, is often to simplify—helping clients focus on what truly matters and guiding them away from choices that don't support how they actually live. The conversation naturally moves into kitchens, where function and behavior intersect most clearly. From layout and stone selection to lighting and storage, Josh and Kristin explore how small decisions can dramatically affect daily life. They discuss the importance of planning for real habits rather than idealized ones, and how photographic trends often misrepresent how spaces are actually used. The evolution of kitchen design, they note, reflects broader changes in how homes function as multi-use environments. The episode also touches on the business and sourcing side of design. Kristin shares insights into working with European antiques and the growing challenges presented by tariffs and shipping costs. Josh adds perspective on the potential return to small-scale, locally made craftsmanship, suggesting that the industry may be entering a period where quality, story, and intention carry more weight than volume or speed. Throughout the conversation, one idea remains consistent: strong design is rooted in trust. Open communication, clear expectations, and honest dialogue between designer and client create better outcomes for everyone involved. When people feel heard and understood, the results are spaces that not only look good—but function beautifully over time. You are going to hear all about it, right after this. Great design isn't about excess or trends—it's about intention, understanding, and care. When designers take the time to observe how people truly live and guide them through thoughtful decisions, the result is a space that feels authentic, functional, and deeply personal. This episode makes the case for slowing down, asking better questions, and designing with purpose at the center.

In this unscripted solo episode, Michael Shermer reflects on a dizzying start to the year and what it reveals about truth, power, and public judgment. From events in Venezuela and the limits of exporting democracy to a viral Planet Fitness controversy, the Minneapolis ICE shooting, and renewed claims about aliens, Shermer keeps returning to the same question: What actually helps, and what only feels like a good idea in the moment?

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Vancouver FC, and Canadian men's national team chat. The big Whitecaps news of the week was them turning down a somewhat aggressive play from Inter Miami for MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon. We chat about the bid, Axel Schuster revealing that Miami wanted to pay for him in instalments, how it all seemed to play out in internet whispers, and what it means for the 'Caps going forward. Plus we talk about WFC2 looking for a new head coach as Ricardo Clark heads south to become an assistant at Seattle. Camp Poutine has kicked off in California for the Canadian men's national team, with three Whitecaps attending. We look at the squad and ponder who from it are still on the bubble to make the World Cup squad and who have the greatest opportunities to impress and break into that squad before June.

#741 What if one simple 3D render could instantly boost client trust, speed up approvals, and help you win higher-paying projects? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with John Kaplar, founder of Focused SketchUp, to show how creative entrepreneurs can use 3D visualization to win more clients and deliver better projects. John shares his journey from an 18-year software career to building a fast-growing education business teaching designers SketchUp, V-Ray, and AI — then walks through a live demo of how tools like Freepik can “glow up” older renders, apply mood-board finishes, and even generate day/night variations and short video-style camera moves for more compelling client presentations and social content. If you're a designer (or work with designers) and want faster approvals, fewer construction surprises, and more trust with clients, this one's packed with practical takeaways! What we discuss with John: + Leaving an 18-year software career + Building Focused SketchUp + Using SketchUp for 3D modeling + V-Ray for photorealistic renders + AI as a render “glow-up” tool + Faster client approvals + Aligning clients, designers, contractors + Day vs. night render variations + AI-generated social content + Trust through visualization Thank you, John!

We explore how racial bias and colorism show up in our masājid, families, institutions, and online spaces — often quietly, sometimes painfully. Dr. Knight helps us unpack why these patterns persist, how they harm individuals and fracture the idea of ummah, and what accountability, healing, and allyship can look like moving forward.

In this episode of Conversations With Toi, we're stepping into the new year with intention, clarity, and a commitment to growth. I'm diving into what it really means to leave spaces—and people—better than you found them. This isn't just a cute saying; it's a mindset shift that shapes how you move, how you love, and how you show up in every room.We're also talking about refusing to be anyone's “build-a-bear”—no more letting people mold you into what works for them while abandoning what works for you. This year is about honoring your boundaries, protecting your peace, and setting goals that reflect who you truly are.If you're ready to walk into the new year with purpose and a renewed sense of self, this episode is your reminder that you get to choose how you show up and what you leave behind.Follow me on all socials @toitimeblog, and don't forget to visit www.toitime.org for more conversations on intentional living, wellness, and real-life growth.

“There is a mysterious interplay between silence and time. Waiting in silence is the essential condition for experiencing the passage of time as gift, not as a threat.” — Thomas Merton For some, the holiday season overflows with activity and expectation; for others, it highlights a sense of introspection and quiet. Both can be comforting, and both can feel overwhelming. How we experience time — whether in busyness or in stillness — has the potential to create within us a sense of constriction or expansion. In these contrasting experiences, the spaces in between invite us to know the place within ourselves that is always luminous, forever undiminished, and eternally revealing Divine perfection. Here, in the quiet center of our being, Divine Love is not something we reach for but something that meets us. In this Advent week of Love, we remember that this inner spaciousness is often the quiet doorway through which Love reveals itself — not through circumstance, but through Presence.

HOME PREPAREDNESS AND SURVIVAL TACTICS DURING WILDFIRES Colleague Danielle Clode. Clodedetails essential preparedness strategies for those living in fire-prone areas, emphasizing that home design features like sealed underfloor spaces are critical to prevent ignition from embers.

The sound of a choir performing in a cathedral is iconic for a reason. It's this beautiful human experience: being side-by-side with other people, feeling the sound vibrate through you, reverberating around the space.But how long has that been a part of our culture? And what role did sound play in the lives of people who lived during the Ice Age or the Stone Age? That's the focus of a growing field of archaeology called archaeoacoustics, where researchers use the scientific tools of today to investigate the role of sound and music in the past.To learn more, Host Flora Lichtman is joined by Margarita Díaz-Andreu, principal investigator of the Art Soundscapes project, and Rupert Till, head of the department of humanities at the University of Huddersfield in the UK.Guests: Dr. Margarita Díaz-Andreu is an ICREA professor at the University of Barcelona in Spain and principal investigator of the Art Soundscapes project. Dr. Rupert Till is a professor of music and head of the department humanities at the University of Huddersfield in the UK.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
