“What kind of relationship did you have to have with who you used to be, who you are and who you are becoming?”The writer Carmen Maria Machado floated that question on her recent visit to Seattle. It represents the kind of depth she braves in her work.Speakers Forum featured Machado two years ago, reading from her acclaimed short story collection Her Body and Other Parties. She’s out now with a memoir, In the Dream House. It tells the story of an abusive romantic relationship that marked her past, and the silence around domestic violence in queer relationships. The work weaves between the depths of her personal experience and the cultural landscape that shaped and allowed it.“I am proud of this book. I think it’s a good book. Time and other people will tell of it’s an important book, and if it’s meaningful to even one person then I’d like to think this has all been worth it, but I hate this book. I know that’s a shocking thing to say. It’s like saying you hate your own child. But I don’t know what else to say about a book that reminds me, often, of a terrible past, of the hamster wheel of pain that some younger version of me ran around until she collapsed. I want to run to her, hold her, tell her it’s gonna be okay, but I can’t, and this book reminds me of that fact.”Much of this talk and conversation steers toward Machado’s writing process, an artistic life, and how, with difficulty, she came to write about her abuse.Carmen Maria Machado is the Writer in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania. Seattle Arts & Lectures presented her talk as part of their Women You Need to Know (WYNK) series at Town Hall Seattle on January 24. Seattle author Kristen Millares Young moderated the discussion. Marina Chen read her poem Valentine to open the program. KUOW’s Sonya Harris recorded the event.Please note: This recording contains unedited language of an adult nature.

There has been a series of conversations happening in Seattle recently. They seek to answer questions around who people are, and where they came from. Or how they view their relation to Africa.Artist Natasha Marin gathered small groups of people to make community and share origin stories.We were invited to hear this session, which started with the question: What does it sound like when you claim yourself -- who I am; where and who I came from; what I’m here to do?The conversation flows on, prompted by more questions. When do you feel most indigenous, or at home? What is your relation, real or imagined, to Africa? Then it finishes with lullabies.The gathering is casual and caring, but Marin invokes a sense of presence. It has the import of an honest moment, of both weight and lightness.Natasha Marin is a poet and interdisciplinary artist: “The creative work I produce takes on many forms: poetry, video, sound, performance, and immersive and interactive installation. This multiplicity defines my work and functions like a native tongue. I use this language of multiplicity to communicate most profoundly who I am and what I believe about the world we are living in.”Marin is the curator of the new book Black Imagination: Black Voices on Black Futures. She led this conversation with guests Syreeta Bernal, Hasaan Kirkland and Nii Okaidja at the Jack Straw Cultural Center studios on December 13, 2019. Ayesha Ubayatilaka engineered the session.Please note: This recording contains unedited language of an adult nature.

Since 2012, communal violence in Bangladesh has spiked to levels not seen in over 30 years. The unrest threatens to derail the nation’s hard-won economic and human development progress. Much of the recent violence has occurred around elections, casting a harsh light on the country’s substantial democratic challenges. Though political tensions have often provided triggers for violence, the roots of conflict in Bangladesh run much deeper and in large part center on the place of religion in society and its role in the construction of national identities. The third Speakers’ Forum on Religion and Development in Bangladesh focused on the religious dimensions of conflict and examined the work of religious peacebuilders, incorporating perspectives and experiences from countries in the region that have faced similar challenges related to communal violence and religious intolerance.

Launched in Dhaka, the "Speakers Forum on Religion and Development in Bangladesh" is the first in a series of six events. This inaugural session explored approaches to secularism from global, regional, and local perspectives. It featured Georgetown University’s Jose Casanova, the Centre for Developing Society’s Rajeev Bhargava, and BRAC University’s Samia Huq. The forum is a joint initiative between the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs, BRAC University’s Department of Economics and Social Sciences, and the World Faiths Development Dialogue. The Speakers Forum is part of a multi-year exploration of the development work of faith-inspired actors in Bangladesh. These forums have been designed to provide a non-politicized space for constructive dialogue at the intersection of religion and critical development topics, bringing together local and international scholars, development practitioners, and faith actors. The forums offer a unique opportunity to reflect on global experiences and local realities regarding religion’s complex role in promoting development. The first forum was designed to generate new insights around the inter-connected issues of secularism, religious pluralism, and development in a democratic Bangladesh. This event was co-sponsored by the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, BRAC University Department of Economics and Social Sciences, and the World Faiths Development Dialogue.

The Dawson Society was delighted to host Mr Karl Schmude as the presenter at our sixth Speakers Forum for 2014. Speaking on the thought on and work of two giants of 20th century Catholic, the great Gilbert Kieth Chesterton and  the namesake of our organisation, Christopher Dawson, Schmude drew out the complimentary extant in their respective works and highlighted significant points of difference, not only in their physical stature, but also in their writing. Schmude has combined a long career in university libraries with freelance writing and speaking, both in Australia and overseas.  He served for 16 years as University Librarian at the University of New England in Armidale NSW.    In 2000, he began working full-time on establishing Campion College Australia,  the private Liberal Arts college of Catholic inspiration which opened in Sydney in 2006. He has published extensively on subjects associated with religion and culture – particularly literature, history, and education.  His feature articles and book reviews have appeared in national newspapers and journals as well as international periodicals in the USA, England, South America and New Zealand. He is President of the Australian Chesterton Society, which has held several major conferences at Campion College.

On 2 December, The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was delighted to host Mrs Anna Krohn as the presenter at our seventh and final Speakers Forum for 2014. Speaking on Christian responses to political fundamentalism and dogmatic relativism, the Academic Skills Counselor and Doctoral Candidate of Melbourne’s John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family used the examples of two Catholic men who fought the Nazi menace in 1920s and 1930s Germany and Austria – philosopher Dietrich von HIldebrand and the Catholic bishop of Münster, Blessed Clemens August Graf von Galen.

On 3 February, The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was delighted to host Dr Matthew Tan of Campion College in NSW as the presenter at our first Speakers Forum for 2015. Have you ever seen an ad that made you feel like being anywhere but here? Have you ever thought what that might have to do with the Christian life? In this presentation, Dr. Matthew Tan will look at advertising, TV series, movies and music videos to explore how we need to take seriously the deep linkages that pop culture’s trope of escape has with the Christian tradition. He will also identify the serious divergences that pop culture’s version of escape has with the Christian, and explore how true escape is necessary, and possible, in Jesus Christ.

The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was proud to host Dr Philippa Martyr at our Speakers Forum on 2 September. Dr Martyr spoke eloquently on the phenomenon of mental illness in our contemporary society and the insights of the Catholic intellectual tradition, particularly regarding its conception of anthropology, in dealing with issues in this area.

The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was honoured by the presence of His Grace, the Most Reverend Timothy Costelloe SDB as presenter at the Speakers Forum event on 8 April 2014. His Grace spoke on the importance of understanding the Church to be the community of the disciples of Jesus, developing the Communio ecclesiology of the Second Ecumenical Vatican Council (1962-65).

The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture was proud to present the following lecture by Associate Professor John Kinder of the University of western Australia at the Speakers Forum event on 13 May 2014. Assoc. Prof. Kinder gave a account of Dante’s divine comedy as a part of our culture here in Australia in 2014. This lecture also served as an introductory lecture to a new initiative from The Dawson Society, the Paideia Lectures.

Professor Matthew Ogilvie, Dean of the School of Philosophy and Theology at the University of Notre Dame Australia’s Fremantle campus spoke at The Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture’s Speakers Forum on 25 February, 2014. His talk, which can be heard and downloaded below draws attention to the fact that ideas have consequences, particularly when those ideas concern our perception of the nature of God and the nature of our own humanity.

I was lucky enough to attend Glastonbury Festival of Performing Arts last week. My voice has suffered from the heat, dust and exhaustion so this week I have found some clips of the use of voice at Glastonbury to discuss with you. Next week I will return to pronunciation tips when my voice is back to full strength!
