Endometriosis. It's a tough condition for women to talk about, let alone asking for help. And very often it's misdiagnosed, leading to embarrassment later in life. Nadine Dirks, activist & author, is joining us this week to tackle this very intimate topic, because she is living with this experience herself. She has just published a memoir reflecting on her journey with endometriosis, called 'Hot Water,' and is currently studying for a master's degree in Women & Gender Studies. Brought to you by Epi-max Baby & Junior – our family, for your family. Also supported by Jacaranda 94.2.

In this episode of The Object of History, we closely examine a portrait of George Washington in which he does not resemble the familiar face on the one-dollar bill.

  We have the great pleasure of speaking with the education guru, Nancy Snowden today! She is the Lead Manager of Educational Experiences for Meeting Professionals International (MPI). Nancy joins us for a fully-packed session where she shares her insights and experience. We dive into mental health, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, humor, improvisation, and unschooling. We hope you enjoy listening to today's thought-provoking episode with Nancy Snowden! Bio:  An educator by trade, dream chaser by nature, and brain-science fanatic, Nancy Snowden has always sought to do things in her own way. From earning her bachelor's degree in English, Creative Writing, and Women & Gender Studies, to continuing her education and earning her master's degree in Adult Education & Interdisciplinary studies – she loves to look at an average opportunity and carve out the path that cultivates her zeal for life and passion for helping others. After spending a decade working in Higher Education and specifically, the wellness sector, she took a leap and joined the Academy team at MPI Global Headquarters and launched headfirst into the world of meeting and event professionals. Since then, Nancy has found an incredible amount of fulfillment working to provide #meetingprofs with the tools and resources they need to live and work at their best as the Lead Manager of Educational Experiences. Nancy's story After graduating with a degree in adult education and various other subjects, Nancy spent eight or nine years working for universities and international non-profit organizations with chapters and clubs on student campuses. She did some low-level event planning on college campuses and worked with college students, mainly with leadership, wellness, emergency response, and risk reduction in the education and development realm. A job at MPI In 2018, Nancy got tired of working within the confines of higher education and spent almost a year looking for a new job. Then a friend of a friend posted her original role at MPI. Nancy learned about the organization, landed the job, and joined MPI.  Health promotions standpoint wellness  Consumerism has taken hold of health promotions standpoint wellness. That is why there is currently one notion of wellness based on what you own, participate in, and put into your body.  Overwhelm Like many others during the pandemic, Nancy could no longer function because she was extremely overwhelmed. She even went into a short-term care facility before starting at MPI because she needed a break from the world to get herself together enough to move forward. Event professionals Feeling overwhelmed is unacceptable. Sometimes, the feeling is almost indiscernible. Event professionals are positioned uniquely to design and create experiences that can underpin that side of wellness in an integrated way. Transformative wellness Wellness becomes transformative when we address the small things that impact how we live or interact with others daily.  Nancy's wellness presentations When Nancy talks about the transformational power of wellness and event wellness design in her presentations, she is referring to the deeper facets of what it is to be human and how that shows up in the events people create.  Financial wellness  Financial wellness in meetings and events lies in having tiered prices and providing discounts, scholarships, access to unique funding sources, and community structures for networking to equip attendees. Social wellness If people cannot go to events, interact with people who are meaningful to them, and network, they are not socially well. If they go to events and do not see themselves reflected in the content, speakers, and accommodations, they will not be their most authentic selves in the space. That is another barrier to social wellness. Bringing wellness into organizations The expectation that organizations and people in leadership positions will be submissive has framed Nancy's understanding of how the wellness conversation gets brought into the corporate sphere, how organizations get shaped, and how support systems get created for employees, teammates, and colleagues.  Emotional intelligence Emotional intelligence is being so self-aware that when a moment of conflict arises, you can work through it in a way that the other person does not even realize you are helping them work through it. Learning emotional intelligence For people to learn emotional intelligence, they need to be willing. They also need to be aware of the lizard brain (the primal piece of the brain that works out of fear and response) and be able to turn it off. Improvisation Improvisation can be used as a tool for enhancing one's understanding of emotional intelligence. Compromise Nancy helps organizational leaders and employees to find compromise when moments of conflict arise. That allows the organization to continue and grow and the leaders and employees to maintain their wellness. Key indicators of success Collaborative leadership and emotional intelligence are the key indicators of success within business units. Open communication Open communication and flexibility are key elements of any safe working environment.  Occupational wellness Occupational wellness creates a foundation for people to have successful careers.  Values If you articulate your values clearly, you can position yourself uniquely within your workplace and ensure your strengths get utilized. Humor Nancy uses humor to wield her emotional intelligence, self-reflect, and be candid. Allowing herself to be made fun of helps diffuse difficult or offensive situations. It also alleviates pressure and lets her take a step back mentally. A fallacy Nancy points out that it is a fallacy that people in leadership don't care or are disinterested.  Education in professional industries Nancy shifted her opinion about the role of education in professional industries when she learned that there is no one size fits all way to create experience and credibility. She does not see education as a marker of intelligence. Unschooling Rather than creating more educational inequity and making it harder for people to be successful, we should look at what each person brings to the table and provide them with opportunities for advancement, fulfillment, and success.  New learning dynamic Within the events industry, there are some non-degree holding professionals and others from degree programs with less than four years of experience. There is a divide between them even though they both bring valuable experiences to the industry. Nancy proposes a new learning dynamic in which both sides could learn together and from one another.

Continental philosopher and assistant professor of Philosophy and Women Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina, Elisabeth Paquette, joins Am Johal to speak about her latest book, Universal Emancipation: Race Beyond Badiou. Elisabeth speaks about some of her transformative moments as a continental philosopher, including an essential question posed to her by Paget Henry, and her experience joining the Black Lives Matter Charlotte Protests in 2016. Her and Am also speak about the important questions surrounding ideas of justice, how justice can be emancipatory, and the ways that states fail in enacting justice — due to its deep foundations upon race and culture. Elisabeth spends time critiquing Badiou's class-first philosophies that undermines possibilities for universality in the sense of race, and then discusses the histories of Marxism centering on whiteness and Eurocentric attitudes. She also speaks about the importance of positive conceptions of race, and draws from Sylvia Wynter to determine that true universal emancipation needs to be filled with the varied and particular knowledges of racialized folks.

Susan Harbage Page, Artist & Associate Professor of Women & Gender Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill came to discuss her latest art exhibit - Borderlands: Evidence from the Rio Grande. The exhibit includes both photographs of objects from the U.S. border at the Rio Grande and many objects themselves. Susan stated that she first began observing these personal objects - discarded along the border in the 1990's and began work to photograph and collect these objects in 2007.   She discussed her inspiration for collecting these items as the powerful feelings they evoke from the individuals who had to leave these objects behind while trying to cross the southern U.S. border. She detailed how items such as women's bras left a trail that likely indicated assault and rape, telling stories to us that are not being given justice for the pain and suffering being experienced. Susan presented that women and children are being disproportionately affected at the border, and because of their lack of privilege and respect, their stories needed this exhibition.   Susan further discussed her "anti-archive" where she stores these objects that she has found. She explained that an "archive" denotes objects from individuals of weight and privilege in our society and this "anti-archive" seeks to raise up the importance and value of these possessions (objects) forced to be left by those who lack an evaluation of worth and power.

He's currently living back in Fort Myers running a consulting business. I didn't know Justin in school but I, too went to Fort Myers High. Justin came highly recommended as a 3 Song Stories guest from one of previous victims, Amy Ware…after her episode she was like, you gotta get Justin Anderson on the show!

Dr. Gayatri Devi, Associate Professor of English and Women & Gender Studies at Lock Haven University in Pennsylvania is with us tonight to discuss the anthology, Myth Shattered and Restored.  She sits on the executive board of the Association for the Study of Women and Mythology and she co-edited Myth Shattered and Restored for ASWM.  Our chat will delve into myths which have been shattered and restored, the importance of Goddess spirituality and Goddess studies and why this is so vital right now. 

The first International Women's Day (IWD) was observed on March 19, 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. More than one million women and men showed their support of women by participating in public events. In 1977, following the long-standing movements for women to participate equally in society, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed a day for women's rights and international peace. Following the United Nations' lead, Canada chose March 8 as IWD and it has grown to become a global day of recognition, celebration and action. In many countries it is an official holiday. In Canada, more than 40 events will be held this year. Last year, organizations and individuals around the world supported the Pledge for Parity campaign and committed to help women and girls achieve their ambitions; challenge conscious and unconscious bias, particularly against indigenous people and people of colour; call for gender-balanced leadership; value women and men's contributions equally; and create inclusive cultures. The 2017 IWD campaign slogan is Be Bold for Change and it is hoped that women, men and non-binary people will join forces to create influence and take bold pragmatic action to accelerate gender parity. However, the World Economic Forum predicts the gender gap won't close entirely until the next century. The speakers will offer their thoughts on what it may take to close that gap sooner rather than later. Speakers: Glenda Bonifacio and Caroline Hodes Dr. Glenda Bonifacio joined the University of Lethbridge Department of Women & Gender Studies in 2005 and holds a BA in Social Sciences major in Political Science (magna cum laude, University of the Philippines); MA in Asian Studies (University of the Philippines); and a Ph.D. from the School of History and Politics, University of Wollongong, Australia. In 2015, Dr. Bonifacio was selected as one of the 100 most influential Filipina women in the World in the innovator and thought leader category. The award by the Filipina Women's Network (FWN) recognizes women who have broken new ground in the global workplace and has improved the lives of others. Dr. Caroline Hodes received her PhD from York University in 2013 and joined the University of Lethbridge Department of Women & Gender Studies in 2015. Prior to her appointment in Lethbridge she taught at the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University in Kingston and in Sociology at Trent University's Oshawa campus. Dr. Hodes research interests include human rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian and US feminist constitutionalism, and she has recently won a ULRF grant to fund her current work on representations of the body in Charter equality rights and Aboriginal rights litigation Moderator:   Bev Muendel-Atherstone Date: Thursday, March 9, 2017 Time: Noon - 1:30 PM (30 minutes each for presentation, lunch and Q & A) Location: Country Kitchen Catering (lower level of The Keg) 1715 Mayor Magrath Dr. S Cost:$12.00 (includes lunch) or $2.00 (includes coffee/tea)

Is the judiciary sexist? Should Robin Camp be removed from the bench? Is contrition enough? These are some of the questions that have been raised in response to Justice Robin Camp's comments and his acquittal of the accused in the 2014 R. v. Wagar sexual assault case. Unfortunately, Robin Camp's commentary is not an isolated incident nor is it unique in sexual assault cases in Canada. Instead, it underscores what has been characterized as a much broader crisis in confidence in the criminal justice process for survivors of sexual violence. Sexual violence is one of the most under reported forms of violence for a number of complex reasons. Commentators have identified Robin Camp's conduct as something that could put an even more chilling effect on reporting and access to justice for those who have been assaulted. Without understanding the contextual and intersectional factors at play in this case, including presumptions about the sexual availability of Indigenous women, substance use, poverty and homelessness, it is not possible to understand the gravity of Justice Camp's commentary. The speaker will discuss two of the most poignant lessons that can be learned from this case: 1) the insights that it provides into the many barriers to access to justice for survivors in sexual assault cases and 2) the need for due diligence on the bench. Speaker:     Dr. Caroline Hodes Dr. Caroline Hodes joined the University of Lethbridge in the Department of Women & Gender Studies in 2015. Prior to her appointment at Lethbridge, she taught at the School of Policy Studies at Queen's University in Kingston and in Sociology at Trent University's Oshawa campus. Dr. Hodes received her PhD from York University in 2013. Her doctoral research was funded by the Helena Orton Memorial fund and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Dr. Hodes research interests include human rights and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Canadian and US feminist constitutionalism, and she has recently won a ULRF grant to fund her current work on representations of the body in Charter equality rights and s. 35 Aboriginal rights litigation. Her forthcoming publication in Atlantis: Critical Studies in Gender, Culture & Social Justice is entitled “Intersectionality in the Canadian Courts: In Search of a Decolonial Politics of Possibility” and traces the limitations of the grounds approach in Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms equality rights cases.

For the past several decades, conservative forces in the US and Canada have worked to finance and organize Christian fundamentalist sects, the Catholic Church and other organizations to become potentially destabilizing of progressive democratic principles and practices. Powerful interlocking political and corporate forces are seemingly teaming up against women and the disadvantaged in many Southern and Western states and in parts of Canada. These forces have negative effects on women's ability to control and maintain bodily integrity and health, especially among low income women who often are disproportionately affected by restrictions on abortion services. What ought to happen regarding access to these services? The speakers will shed light on the pertinent issues and argue that it's urgent to coordinate and democratically empower individuals, organizations, communities and all levels of Government to produce changes in attitudes, norms, behaviour and policies that will enable women, using their own free will, to obtain reproductive health services, including abortion care. Speakers: Carol Williams, Brittney Adams and Shannon Ingram Carol Williams is a cultural historian specializing in Women & Gender Studies, Visual Culture, and North American Women's History including histories of women's activism. Williams is currently the 2013-2015 Board of Governors Humanities Scholar at the U of L. From 2008-1011 she held a tier II Canada Research Chair in Feminist and Gender Studies at Trent University. Williams has published two books, Indigenous Women's Work (2012) and Framing the West: Race, Gender and the Photographic “Frontier” (2003). Brittney Adams completed her Bachelor Degree in Political Science from the University of Lethbridge in 2013 and is currently completing her Masters of Arts in Women and Gender Studies. Her M.A thesis titled “Multiple I Do's” examines the role of feminist knowledge in the 2011 BC Supreme Court ruling on polygamy. Adams has long been involved in political activism in the Lethbridge community and is the Co-Coordinator of the Campus Women's Centre, as well as a YWCA Board Member. This year, she also became a Board Member with LPIRG and recently, Adams helped organize the Students for Choice action group at the University of Lethbridge. Shannon Ingram recently graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Art in History with Honours. She has been an active member of the Lethbridge community, volunteering on campus for the Women's Centre and off campus for Womanspace Resource Centre. She has also completed an Applied Study at the Galt Museum & Archives, focusing on the Evolution of Agriculture in Southern Alberta. More recently, Ingram attended the first ever International Conference on Women's Reproductive Rights in Charlottetown, P.E.I., presenting on the barriers to accessing abortions in Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador.

An epic tale of the horrors of motherhood. And who better to discuss this with if not one of our very own mothers? Eleanor, Kseniya, and Eleanor's mom, Dr. Paula Kagan, delve into the surprisingly funny and spooky aspects of Polanski's classic film and our own early scares.Dr. Paula Kagan is an author, radical nurse, Associate Professor of nursing, as well as an affiliated faculty member of Women & Gender Studies at DePaul University in Chicago.

The business model of Canadian immigration policy has dramatically resulted in the rise of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) through a combination of federal and provincial labour migration schemes. In Alberta, TFWs even surpassed the number of “landed immigrants” in 2006. The limited work visa issued to employers, not the worker, and structural barriers in place to regulate their mobility imply that TFWs will eventually return to their home countries when labour demands decline; they have become Canada's “disposable labour.” Or, do they really return home? International labour migration is not premised on the idea of a “holiday-cum work tour” akin to the popular western “backpacker.” After investing their own resources, the 1-2 years stint as TFW do not make sense. It is plausible that after the expiration of work permits, TFWs search for alternative routes ---the road to illegality. If TFWs are vital to the delivery of services, the choiceless workforce contributing to taxation (but cannot make demands for their own welfare), and make Canada competitive in the global stage, why not grant them independent legal status as full-fledged immigrants? Speaker: Glenda Tibe Bonifacio Dr. Glenda Tibe Bonifacio is Associate Professor in the Department of Women & Gender Studies at the University of Lethbridge. Her research focuses on gender, migration and citizenship of Filipino women, and the connections between gender, religion and migration. She is editor of the book Feminism and Migration: Cross-Cultural Engagements (2012), co-editor of the book Gender, Religion and Migration: Pathways of Integration (2010), as well as author of numerous scholarly articles.

If TFWs are vital to the delivery of services, the choiceless workforce contributing to taxation (but cannot make demands for their own welfare), and make Canada competitive in the global stage, why not grant them independent legal status as full-fledged immigrants?

The business model of Canadian immigration policy has dramatically resulted in the rise of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) through a combination of federal and provincial labour migration schemes. In Alberta, TFWs even surpassed the number of “landed immigrants” in 2006. The limited work visa issued to employers, not the worker, and structural barriers in place to regulate their mobility imply that TFWs will eventually return to their home countries when labour demands decline; they have become Canada's “disposable labour.” Or, do they really return home?
