#11 Listen to the Other Side: Trina Talukdar & Jahnavi Jayanth on rebuilding dialogues

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

vendredi 11 février 2022 • Durée 46:02

Today we are joined by the founders of Bolti Bandh, Trina Talukdar and Jahnavi Jayanth. Bolti Bandh is an organization that aims at building a new type of dialogue, through which we can really listen to the side that is "unlike" us.

"Dialogues with people 'unlike us' invariably turn into uncomfortable, hateful and aggressively alienating debates; where each person is trying to prove they are right and the other is wrong. Regardless of what side we stand on, we are getting weary of the polarisation of political opinions and extreme reactions towards those who are different or believe differently from us."

"We think the answer is to have a new kind of conversation that is not only about making oneself heard, but making the 'other' feel heard, and not about what you or they believe in, but 'why'. The human ability to do this isn't new or unnatural; we are merely reactivating what has been educated out of us to become a long-forgotten lost tendency. the inherent curiosity in human stories that we are born with, the inherent craving we have for making human connections.

So, in trying to build this new kind of dialogue with you, Bolti Bandh is a tiny team of writers, illustrators and dialogue enthusiasts bringing to you vivid stories and candid conversations that all explore one thing. Listening to the other side."

#10 Millions Missing: Scott Simpson on the uphill battle of myalgic encephalomyelitis patients

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mercredi 12 janvier 2022 • Durée 40:24

Welcome to another episode of the Activism Academy.

Our guest today is Scott Simpson.

This episode is about myalgic encephalomyelitis, a chronic, multi-system condition characterized by post-exertional malaise, an exacerbation of symptoms following ordinary physical or cognitive activity with prolonged recovery that may result in a permanent decrease in functioning. The effects of ME are devastating enough to leave 25% of patients housebound or bedbound and an estimated 75% unable to work. ME affects 15 to 30 million women, men and children around the world.

Scott Simpson is a Canadian patient living with HIV since 1998 but "suffering a lot with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) since August 9, 2012."Scott is on the core team of Millions Missing Canada. Millions Missing is a global campaign for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) health equality. They demonstrate around the world for equitable research funding, clinical trials, medical education and public awareness for ME.

Scott is a medal-winning triathlete who is a three-time member of the national triathlon team in his age group. But now, on good days, he says he can walk for 10 minutes on flat ground. He says he can accept his ME diagnosis with its bleak prognosis, but not the harms the Canadian health care system perpetuates on its citizens suffering with ME. He has experienced the very best research and treatment of HIV to non-existent research funding and either no or harmful treatments with ME.

In addition to our conversation with Scott, we will also feature two testimonies by Nevra Elis Ahmed from Pakistan and Gigi Joseph Garrison from the UK who suffer from ME and will share with us their experience as ME patients, as well as their worries but also their hopes.

Multiple organizations and event organizers in Tunisia are trying to create a healthy discussion around sexuality and gender.

#5 Understanding July 25th and Kais Saied's Measures through a Tunisian Lens

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 6 août 2021 • Durée 01:19:30

On July 25th, Republic Day in Tunisia, non-partisan protests erupted in various cities, calling for the dismissal of the government and corrupt political parties that have been stalling progress in parliament and failed to address the COVID-19 crisis adequately. That night, president Kais Saied invoked Article 80 of the Tunisian constitution that allows him to implement exceptional measures “in the event of imminent danger threatening the nation’s institutions or the security or independence of the country, and hampering the normal functioning of the state” quoting the constitution. These exceptional measures included the dismissal of the Head of Government, Hichem Mechichi, the suspension of parliament and lifting immunity off all parliamentary representatives. Many Tunisians took to the streets and celebrated the announcement with song and dance, while others were rather skeptical. We have invited three Tunisians to discuss what happened and how they perceive the events: Belkiss Anane, Heythem Guesmi and Habib Sayah.

Belkiss Anane is a Washington, DC- based Tunisian consultant. Mathematician by training, she holds a minor in MENA studies from Northwestern University and has pursued African Studies at the African Leadership Academy. Belkis has been active with several NGOs in the U.S. and Tunisia, largely focusing on the Arab region and specifically on women empowerment and Palestinian affairs.

Heythem Guesmi is a 30-year-old researcher in rural politics and peasants struggles. He belongs to the "Youth of the Revolution", is interested in the history of transitions and the establishment of cultural hegemony.

Habib Sayah is a Tunisia-based consultant and researcher. His recent work has focused on security sector reform as well as the effects of disinformation and propaganda on social cohesion, community resilience, and polarisation. He holds a Master’s degree from the War Studies department at King’s College London.

#4 Remembering the Utøya attack and understanding right-wing extremism

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 21 juillet 2021 • Durée 01:00:27

Ten years ago, on the 22nd of July 2011 Norwegians experienced the deadliest lone actor terrorist attacks in Europe's history. Ten years later, the Internet has enabled people to use online technologies for terrorist means, and individual attackers and their ideologies are widely spread and readily available among ever-growing online communities. Many are also the institutions and organizations working to counter online radicalization and hate. On today's episode we discuss all of this with Khalifa-Ihler co-founder and director Bjørn Ihler and Dr. Matthew Feldman, director of the Center for Analysis on Radical Right and professorial fellow at the University of York. Both of our guests are dedicating their lives to counter far-right ideologies and prevent such events from ever happening again.

#3 Human rights violations and the erosion of the rule of law in Poland

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 7 juillet 2021 • Durée 34:02

Poland’s erosion of the rule of law has set an alarming precedent in Europe. A democratically elected government turning against the foundations of democracy itself and stripping its citizens of basic human rights is indeed a shocking scenario, happening right in front of our eyes. We have invited Eliza Rutynowska, lawyer at the Civil Development Forum in Poland and a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Criminal Law at Warsaw University, to talk about the crumbling of the rule of law and the increasing human rights violations in Poland as well as being a “lawyer in a lawless state” as she says in her own words.
