Episode 1

Friday, May 31, 2024 • Duration 01:19:10

This is the companion piece to the first episode of our new series, Hope is a Talent. This is the unedited audio journal shared to us from our colleague in northern Gaza, Amro Hamadda between the months of November 2023 through March 2024. He is an inspiration to us, and his voice is a guide.

We are unendingly grateful for him taking the time to record these, record them in English, somehow figure out how to upload them to the cloud, and get them to us while trying to survive and provide for his family.

Thank you Amro.

Sunday Meditations: Trusting Transitions, Not Postponing Joy, and the Racialization of Wellness

Monday, May 31, 2021 • Duration 59:52

Hello SMOA family! We are trying something new! In addition to our bi-weekly podcast releases (which we attempt to keep evergreen and not overly current), we are going to try recording some sessions with just the SMOA team responding to the world and what is on our minds. We begin with a guided meditation, then kinda just let the ramble ramble. Join us to hear us talk about transitions (both wanted and unwanted), not postponing joy, and the racialization of wellness.

If you guys like this format, please let us know. If not, also please let us know!

Grateful for all of you. Take care of yourselves. And take some naps!!

SMOA's recommended songs for transitions:

Prince, "Let's Pretend We're Married" - youtu.be/KXkCtFo4ttI
Mandolin Orange, "Golden Embers" - youtu.be/fEt2lf7L13g
Peter Mayer, "Japanese Bowl" - youtu.be/qOAzobTIGr8

22 | Nursing as Radical Solidarity During the Honduran Coup | Adrienne Pine

Season 2 · Episode 22

Wednesday, May 26, 2021 • Duration 01:02:59

Self-described "militant anthropologist" Professor Adrienne Pine speaks with us today about the 2009 coup in Honduras. We discuss the Washington Consensus, hybrid wars, embodied somatic solidarity, and explore the role that nurses played as agents of change and healing during the coup in 2009. Dr. Pine also shares her own journey with us, and talks about how she has balanced the extractive demands of neoliberal academia with bodily solidarity with the people she has worked with around the world, and how she's further balanced this with being a mother.

Her recommended article, discussed during this episode:

Pine A (2013), Revolution as a care plan: ethnography, nursing and somatic solidarity in Honduras. Soc Sci Med. 99:143-152. bit.ly/3voxDyZ

Also check out Dr. Pine's recent edited book, Asylum For Sale: Profit and Protest in the Migration Industry (Oakland: PM Press, 2020), where she breaks down the disaster capitalist network of players who benefit off the chronic transmigration of displaced persons. Super relevant!

19 | Fenced In Chios: Refugee Health and the Cruelty of Deterrence | Apostolos Veizis

Season 1 · Episode 19

Wednesday, March 10, 2021 • Duration 54:23

Apostolos Veizis (@AVeizis) offers a medical view from the frontlines of the ongoing refugee crisis, which as he explains, is not so much a "refugee crisis" as a crisis of logistics and lack of political will. We discuss the mental and physical health effects of life in overcrowded camps (in this case in the Greek islands), how these conditions are created and exacerbated by cruel policies of deterrence, the true drivers of mass migration from Syria and elsewhere, COVID in the camps, the 2016 EU-Turkey deal, and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) as an example of a medical-humanitarian response to the crisis.

Apostolos Veizis MD is the former Director of Medical Operational Support Unit of MSF Greece, and is presently the Executive Director of INTERSOS in Greece. He had worked as Head of Mission and Medical Coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and Médecins du Monde(MDM) in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Russian Federation, Albania, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, Turkey, and participated inassessment, emergency assignments and evaluations in Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Armenia, Lebanon, Syria, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Zambia, Malawi, Uzbekistan, North Macedonia, Cyprus and Tajikistan. He actively participates in international and national medical congresses and contributes to the literature on refugee issues and health.
