Kicking off the second half of season three where we will look beyond the ranks of Europe's Futures' fellows to bring you conversations from thought leaders and key thinkers across the academic and policy spectrum, this new episode of the Vienna Coffee House Conversations with Ivan Vejvoda features a conversation with distinguished professor Ruth Wodak. Ruth shares her expertise on the recurring evils of history, particularly emphasizing contemporary antisemitism and its roots. Her personal story, interwoven with academic observations, provides a poignant backdrop and urgency to the conversation about the resurgence of right-wing politics in Europe.Ruth Wodak is a distinguished linguist and Emerita Distinguished Professor of Discourse Studies at Lancaster University, as well as a retired Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Vienna. Renowned for her research in critical discourse studies, Wodak's work delves into topics such as language in politics, identity politics, gender studies, and the discourse of racism and anti-Semitism. Over her career, she has been recognized with numerous awards including the Wittgenstein Prize for Elite Researchers in 1996 and the Grand Decoration of Honour in Silver for Services to the Republic of Austria in 2011. Wodak has held several prestigious visiting professorships globally and has authored and co-authored numerous influential books and articles, with her research being translated into many languages.More details on "Das kann immer noch in Wien passieren" from CzerninFind her at the University of Lancaster  Ivan Vejvoda is Head of the Europe's Futures program at IWM implemented in partnership with ERSTE Foundation.

"Die Grenzen zwischen Rechtspopulismus und Rechtsextremismus verschwimmen", sagt die österreichische Sprachwissenschaftlerin und Populismusforscherin Ruth Wodak. Es gebe in vielen europäischen Gesellschaften eine "Diskursverschiebung nach Rechts". Wodak warnt vor zunehmender Spaltung: "Eine Bedrohung für die Zukunft der liberalen Demokratie in Europa." Von Ruth Wodak.

Ruth Wodak im Gespräch mit Hanno Loewy ÜBER DIE GRENZE Fluchtgeschichten zwischen Bodensee und Gebirge Tausende Menschen auf der Flucht aus dem deutschen Reich versuchten zwischen März 1938 und Mai 1945 über Vorarlberg die – rettende Schweiz zu erreichen: Jüdinnen und Juden, politische Gegner*innen der Nazis, Deserteure, Kriegsgefangene, Zwangs- und Fremdarbeiter*innen aus besetzten Ländern Europas. Fluchthelferinnen und Fluchthelfer auf beiden Seiten der Grenze konnten Einzelnen noch ein Entkommen ermöglichen. Ihre Geschichten handeln von Mut und Verzweiflung, von Menschlichkeit und Ressentiment, Fremdenhass und Solidarität. Geflohen aus dem Dritten Reich, vor Verfolgung und Vernichtung, erreichten die Geflüchteten, wenn sie Glück hatten ein Land, das unserem Europa der Gegenwart beunruhigend ähnlich ist.

In this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the world-renowned linguist, Professor Ruth Wodak, to talk about her book The Politics of Fear: The Shameless Normalization of Far-Right Discourse (SAGE Publications).  This book takes both a historical and analytical look at how the rhetoric of the far-right ("right wing populist" in Prof Wodak's words) plays to and stokes our fears, and how far-right parties today are emulating the worst tendencies of far-right parties of the past.  A fascinating conversation on the intersections of linguistics and politics!  We are also joined by guest host Safine Ashirova, a Russian linguist who has also done linguistic research on the rhetoric of the Nazi Party as well as current far-right parties in Germany. Ruth Wodak is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Lancaster University.  She is one of the pioneers of the Discourse Historical Approach of critical discourse analysis.  Her book Socialist States and the Environment is available from SAGE Publications: https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/the-politics-of-fear/book265617.  You can also keep up with her latest academic publications using her research portal https://www.research.lancs.ac.uk/portal/en/people/ruth-wodak(71b5650a-f48c-4c2e-8b71-6896e291dc2b).html.   Guerrilla History is the podcast that acts as a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history, and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present.  If you have any questions or guest/topic suggestions, email them to us at guerrillahistorypod@gmail.com.

Wir sprechen erneut (vgl. #arsboni Ausgabe 78) mit Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ruth Wodak. Ruth Wodak ist Linguistin, Sprachsoziologin und Diskursforscherin, ordentliche Universitätsprofessorin i.R. für Angewandte Linguistik der Universität Wien und emeritierte Distinguished Professor of Discourse Studies der Lancaster University (UK). Wir unterhalten uns über die (Sprach-)bilder der Pandemie, die zur Legitimierung oder Bekämpfung rechtlicher Maßnahmen der Pandemiebekämpfung geschaffen wurden und ihre Wirkung in der rechtlichen und politischen Diskussion.

For years Natasha has been seen as someone who found their stride in the 10,000; making 3 World Championship teams, winning Pan Am gold in 2019 and owning the national event record since 2015. That's why it came as a bit of a surprise that when the start list for last December’s Marathon Project came out, Wodak’s name was on that list. Nevertheless, when December rolled around, Wodak showed up in Arizona and knocked nearly 9 minutes off her only other attempt at the event, running 2:26:19; good enough for 5th and the second fastest Canadian Marathon of all time,far surpassing the Olympic qualifying time. We caught up with Natasha earlier this week and it was all on the table, including growth as an athlete and a human being and what the future for Natasha might hold.

Last weekend, six Canadians travelled to Chandler, AZ to race in The Marathon Project, each with the goal of running fast enough to eventually be named to the 2021 Olympic team. As the qualification deadline of May 31 approaches, and as an increasing number of spring races get cancelled, Sunday's race was seen as an indispensable opportunity to run faster than the Olympic standards of 2:11:30 and 2:29:30. No Canadian took better advantage of it than Ben Preisner and Natasha Wodak, our two guests on this episode. Wodak raced to fifth place and a personal best time of 2:26:19. It's the second fastest time in Canadian history and, for now, it's probably enough to secure the Team Canada's third roster spot (for a full breakdown of how a runner can qualify for Canada's Olympic marathon team, follow this link.) In the first segment of this podcast, Wodak - the Canadian 10,000m record holder who had not raced a marathon since 2013 - talks to Michael Doyle about the overcoming the fear and uncertainty of that last 10K in a marathon, and holding it together to do something extraordinary. Afterwards, Alex Cyr talks with Ben Preisner, the 24-year-old first-time marathoner who shocked nearly everyone by posting an eighth place finish and the fourth-fastest marathon ever run by a Canadian. His time of 2:10:17 also makes him the second fastest Canadian runner this Olympic period behind only Trevor Hofbauer. Barely 24 hours after his feat, Preisner reflects on what went through his mind when he pulled away from other Canadians, how he remained calm while running faster splits than ever before, when exactly he knew that he was on route for a career-changing PB.

Das Gespräch mit der Sprachwissenschafterin Ruth Wodak nahm gleich zu Anfang eine interessante Wendung. Ich stellte aus Neugier die Frage, warum sie die Akademie der Wissenschaften 2012 verlassen habe und die Antwort fiel länger aus und machte mich sprachlos. Wodak erzählt ganz zu Beginn unseres Gespräches darüber, wie sie zuerst ein Angebot der Akademie der Wissenschaften bekommen habe, ihren Wittgensteinpreis (dotiert mit rund 1 Mio. Euro) dort anzusiedeln, als sie nützlich war für den Ruf Österreichs während der EU-Sanktionen und der Regierung Schwarz-Blau 1. Gleich danach aber folgten Schikanen und Mobbing. Über ihre Zeit in der Akademie der Wissenschaften sagt Wodak: „Ich war das Feindbild, ich war wie die rote Hexe! Man wusste, ich bin sekuläre Jüdin, komme aus einem sozialdemokratischen Elternhaus und äußere mich auch politisch in diese Richtung, ich forsche zu diesen Themen (Migration, Rassismus, Xenophobie) und bin Feministin. Mehr hab ich dort nicht gebraucht. Es gibt in der Akademie der Wissenschaft alte Nazis und auch junge schlagende Burschenschafter. Und die wollten mich dort nicht.“

Folge vier unseres neuen History-Podcasts: Die Sprachwissenschafterin Ruth Wodak spricht mit Christa Zöchling über Krisenkommunikation in der Corona-Pandemie, Kriegsrhetorik in Friedenszeiten, den neuen Corona-Wortschatz, den Unterschied von Kurz zu Merkel, Angstpolitik unter Trump – und Diplomatie auf Twitter.

In dieser Episode unterhalten wir uns mit Univ.-Prof. Dr. Ruth Wodak. Frau Wodak ist emeritierte Professorin für Sprachwissenschaften der Universität Wien und der Lancaster University. Sie ist neben vielem anderen Trägerin eines (des ersten) Wittgenstein-Preises, des Preises der Stadt Wien für Geisteswissenschaften und des vom Frauenministerium vergebenen "Lebenswerk-Preises" . Sie forscht und lehrt zu Fragen der Diskursanalyse. Wir sprechen über die Sprache der Covid-Normierungen.

This week we speak with Canadian 10,000m record holder Natasha Wodak. Wodak is also the former national half-marathon record holder, a title she's looking to reclaim next weekend in a self-organized time trial in Langley, B.C.Following this attempt, she will be setting her sights on qualifying for the Olympic Games at the NAZ Elite Marathon Project, in her second-ever go at the distance. In this episode with chat with Natasha about training, her special relationship with her coach Lynn Kanuka, and about fostering her love for the sport. Learn more about The Shakeout Podcast and Canadian Running Magazine on our website https://runningmagazine.ca/category/shakeout-podcast/Follow The Shakeout Podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/ShakeoutPodcastInstagram https://www.instagram.com/shakeoutpodcast/ andFacebook https://www.facebook.com/theshakeoutpodcast/Subscribe to our weekly show on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-shakeout-podcast/id1224828899243

Canadian Olympian Natasha Wodak says when she first found out the COC was pulling its athletes from the Tokyo games she cried even though she felt a sense of relief & expected this decision to come down.

Depending on your views, far-right populism can represent a welcome return to the past , or a worrying one. The former, argues sociolinguist Ruth Wodak in this Social Science Bites podcast, is one of the hallmarks of far-right populism – a yearning for an often mythical past where the “true people” were ascendant and comfortable. She’s termed this blurred look backward retrotopia, “a nostalgia for a past where everything was much better,” whether it was ever real or not. Wodak, who to be clear finds herself worrying and not welcoming, offers host David Edmonds a recipe for becoming a far-right populist. In her scholarship, she’s identified four ingredients, or dimensions, to the ideology that often underlie populist far-right parties. The most apparent from the outside is a strong national chauvinism or even nativism. This nativism is very exclusive to a specific set of insiders, who focus on creating “an anti-pluralist country, a country which is allegedly homogeneous, which has one kind of people who all speak the same language, have the same culture, or look the same. [Having] this imaginary ‘true people’ is very important.” is very, very important. Far-right populists decide who belongs and who does not belong to the ‘true people.’” And just as important is then having a group of outsiders to cast as scapegoats responsible for major problems – making for “an easy narrative for very complex issues.” It’s probably no surprise, then, that “conspiracy theories are part and parcel of the far-right agenda. They are very supportive in constructing who is to blame, etc., for all the complex problems.” Another ingredient is an anti-elitism that targets elites or ‘the establishment’, i.e. managers, teachers, journalists, intellectuals, liberals or your political opponents; “all the people who allegedly don’t listen to ‘us’ and who have very different interests from ‘the true people’.” Next comes a focus on law and order (“an agenda of protecting this true people”) enforced through a hierarchal party structure. This top-down structure frequently focuses on a charismatic leader who encapsulates the spirit of the ‘true people’ – and rejects the ‘other.’ “Along with the scapegoat,” Wodak explains, “comes ‘the topos of the savior’ … the leader who will save the true American or the true Austrian or the true British people from those all dangers, they will ‘solve’ the problems, protect the people, and they promise hope.” The final standard ingredient is endorsing conservative values and perceived cultural touchstones, such as Christianity in Europe. This recipe matters, of course, thanks to the rise of far-right populist politics across the Americas, Europe and Asia. Wodak herself is Austrian – she’s professor in linguistics at the University of Vienna and emeritus distinguished professor and chair in Discourse Studies at Lancaster University – has seen plenty of recent natural experiments in populism throughout continental Europe. She cites several reasons for the popularity of far-right populism, including the end of the Cold War and the resultant increase in migration from Eastern Europe into the West. Those migrants, previously seen as refugees from communism who were welcomed and even feted, morphed into unwelcome and fear-inducing interlopers (and despite being white and from Christian cultures). Around the same time, she continues, neo-liberal policies changed labor policies in the West, creating inequalities that the right could build on – just as they did in the pro-business responses to the global financial crisis of 2008 (“saving the banks instead of the people”) and globalization. In this podcast, Wodak also discusses how right-wing populism makes use of social media, how exploiting “otherness” helps roll over self-interest, what the role of a social scientist is in exploring fraught ideologies, and how someone might counteract malign politics. Wodak has studied right-wing discourse for years, work that is covered in 2015 book The Politics of Fear: What Right-Wing Populist Discourses Mean, which will see a second edition later this year. At present, she is senior visiting fellow at Vienna’s Institut für die Wissenschaft des Menschen where with  Markus Rheindorf she is examining “repoliticization from below.”

Canadian long distance runner, 2019 Pan-Am Gold Medal winner in 10,000km joined Matt & Farhan on the PM Drive to discuss her recent victory, her extended career in running and the path she's taken, as well as what's next on her competitive circuit.

On this episode of Le Run Down I speak with one of Canada’s best elite distance runners, Tasha Wodak. Wodak grew up playing multiple sports and fell in love with running on the track. Hailing from B.C, she studied in Arkansas on a running scholarship and eventually at Simon Fraser University. She's been running ever since. Find out how Tasha pushed through setbacks, overcame injuries and found success late in her running career. Tasha is an Olympian and holds the National Record in the 10,000m. She is off to an amazing start for 2019, already winning 5 races. We can’t wait to see what’s next.

With its ocean and mountain views, endless trails, and mild climate, Vancouver and its suburbs are a runner's paradise for both recreational and elite runners alike. Olympian Natasha Wodak grew up on the west coast and has run everywhere near Vancouver as well as in its downtown core. On this week's episode of The Shakeout, we speak with Wodak who shares what she loves about running in Vancouver, from the trails to the races to the culture of running, as well as chatting about her own personal running story and her struggle to find balance. 

The perimeter fence at Silverwater jail in Sydney's west AAPThere are more than 41,000 daily full-time prisoners in Australia, according to the latest ABS data. Many of them are in private prisons - almost 20% of the prison population according to a 2014 Productivity Commission report. But we don’t really know whether private prisons are more cost effective or produce better results. Private prison contracts are often “commercial in confidence”, and it’s hard to know what exactly we’ve paid for. All this means we have to rely on watchdogs to ensure taxpayers are getting value for money, and it’s tough for companies to really compete. Read more: Private prisons and the Productivity Commission: where is the value for money? Prison job programs are often touted as a way to reduce prisoner recidivism, but again there is little evidence showing a positive impact. Joanne Wodak was a research assistant on a study in the Northern Territory. Despite positive feedback from both prisoners and employers, Wodak says these programs don’t address other, important factors affecting recidivism such as alcoholism and homelessness. Technology could drastically change what a prison is and who is in them - through the use of algorithms that decide who gets bail, for instance. But as the University of Sydney’s Sandra Peter and Kai Riemer discuss, it’s unlikely to have an impact on the jobs prisoners themselves do. Low wages mean that prisoners provide an incredibly cheap source of labour, and the economics of this is unlikely to be drastically changed by technology.
