Podcasts about translocal

John Eicher (Penn State Altoona) joins the Infectious Historians to discuss his project on the 1918-1919 Influenza Pandemic that examines the pandemic from a translocal and comparative perspective. John begins by describing the broad contours of the pandemic and reflects upon the different approaches scholars have adopted in telling the story of the pandemic so far. John's own project builds upon a digitized collection of over a thousand letters describing memories and stories from the influenza pandemic, offering him a unique understanding of what the pandemic did in a variety of locales. Throughout the interview John shares some of the stories that appear in the letters, and jumps between trying to think about the pandemic as a whole and focusing on the individual experience that the sources provide. Among the topics that are discussed in the interview are the features that appear (e.g. war) or do not appear (e.g. blame) in the letters, and attempts to compare different understandings of the pandemic - for example in the United States and in Europe. Near the end the conversation moves to a discussion of Rosenberg's understanding of an epidemic as well as a comparison to Covid.

“Be authentic, be you. Don't try to be anything you're not. Don't try to be everything to everybody. That's another big piece. That's where a lot of people tend to lose because they get caught up in not really knowing who their customer is and what they stand for. They truly want to be everything to everybody.”We are so excited to share this conversation with Jason Pirock, the Director of Marketing for Aparium. Aparium makes “hotels that matter'' and provides “the most unique experiences in the most distinctive places”. When the founders saw an opportunity to bring elevated, upscale, boutique hotels to secondary and tertiary markets that's exactly what they did. Creating and mastering a niche in translocal hospitality, Aparium brings passing guests together while connecting with local communities and the people that inhabit them.Not only does Jason manage a marketing campaign for the Aparium brand itself, he also oversees each of the individual properties in the portfolio, personalizing each brand identity to the specific market. The properties alone don't speak for themselves so it's crucial the teams in each market are genuine and truly care about the guests and their experiences. Jason relies on traditional PR tactics as well as social media to get the word out in a real time way.Join us for this podcast as Emily and Jason discuss how Aparium works: from finding historic buildings to restore and bring back to life, to choosing all local vendors, makers, and artisans as the hotel suppliers, to the key role of the Lifestyle Director and their collaborations with locals in the community.  As you listen you'll quickly realize that Aparium is not just a hotel. It's an experience. It's the place to be and hang out.Tune in for topics like:Translocal hospitality and what it means  to immerse the local community into a hotelCreating a hotel that is not just a place to stay but a true experienceManaging an overall brand portfolio made up of several properties each with their own unique brand identity How to use hotel space creatively during times of restricted travel and gatheringLinks from the episode: Follow Aparium on Instagram Like Aparium on FacebookStay in the know with Aparium on LinkedIn and Twitter Free Training – Sign up + learn how to generate consistent sales for your local business WITHOUT a complicated or expensive marketing strategyFollow me (Emily Steele) (Love Local) on Instagram for a little business + a little life, and a whole lot of positive energy!More from Jason and Aparium: Aparium currently has seven open and operating locations with five new hotels opening in the coming months.

Some of the NCMI Team in South Africa put together a church(site) planter training course over 8 consecutive Tuesday evenings, for those feeling called to plant a church or be part of a church plant. Because the content was intended for those in South Africa, some of the context may be regional, but the overall value of the ministry is invaluable and helpful in any nation for those feeling the call to plant a church.

Queer People of Color (QPoC) positionalities are a valuable yet underexplored lens through which to rethink the racial and colonial imaginaries and material conditions of subjects and space in Europe. It brings together race, gender, class, colonialism and sexuality, inseparably, in a shared analytic. It addresses multiple erasures: of sexualities and race from discussions of space; of QPoC in Europe from discussions of European subjects, race and space; and from US-centric QPoC studies. Indeed Europeans are generally presumed to be homogeneously white, while people of color are generally presumed to be uniformly straight. Rarely is space understood as a formation that is co-constituted through sexualities with other relations of power. Our intervention radically rethinks urban environments in their relation to race, subjects and agencies. It also puts Queer People of Color (QPoC) in Europe on the map. We explore QPoC activism in Europe as an emerging formation that interrogates multiple conditions and relations of power as they produce exclusion, erasure and repression. What modes of making places and worlds, what transformative horizons come into view, if we take QPoC in Europe and elsewhere seriously as geographic subjects? How can city-space be reconceptualized from the vantage point of QPoC? What possibilities emerge if we examine strategies of resistance and coalitional politics as “translocal” rather than wedded to the nation-state? Given the centrality of gender and sexual violence in racist and colonial projects, what are the promises of centering gender and sexually non-conforming subjects in the study of racism and colonialism, and what would need to happen in order to home them back into antiracist and anticolonial projects? How does QPoC activism in Europe relate to spaces outside of Europe, beyond the US – in particular the Global South? How does this activism challenge the (re)production of Europe’s outside through ideological and material violence against people of color within or outside its borders? We propose QPoC not as the only, but as one in a range of possible modalities that may well open up new ways of looking translocally at space and race, and of resisting racist and colonial control.
