| 31 Aug 2021 | 98. Elaine Brière on How & Why Colonial Powers Want to Control Haiti | 00:54:19 | |
Are Canada, France and US governments "punishing" Haiti? Since the 2004 Haitian coup d'état and foreign military intervention that took Aristide from power, what can we learn from the long history of colonial influence in the world's first black-led republic and first independent Caribbean state? With the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse this July 2021 and the calls for political stability, is Haiti still “under control” by foreign powers? If so, why? An interview with Elaine Brière, Canadian photojournalist, anti-colonial activist and film director of Haiti Betrayed. Brière’s first documentary and book was on East Timor’s pre-invasion way of life. Haiti Betrayed will be screened on September 11th at the International Day of Peace Virtual Film Festival by World Beyond War, get your tickets here.

| 01 Jun 2020 | 11. The Crumbling of the Status Quo | 00:47:35 | |
New Episode! 👩🏻💻Today I share with you a reflection on mass media's role on covering trauma, racial injustice and downplaying the rising social & state inequalities around the world. ✨What we're feeding of? ✨Are we aware of the current shift from COVID-19 fearful narratives to "anger", "rage", "fury" taking over the streets in protests? ✨Why framing photos and videos on burning buildings and damage to public property is saying about the value of bodies and freedom of speech? ✨Activist Tamika Mallory said "we learned violence from you", are we aware of what the cycle of violence entails and how can we break free from it? ✨How deep are racial & social wounds elsewhere? How can we know if most mass media focus is Euro-centric, Anglo-centric, Andro-centric? ✨How can we talk about solidarity of nations and the need for a global leadership if this pandemic is showing the cracks in Imperial visions of "spheres of influence"? ✨How long can we continue being fed this cocktail of poisonous views and war journalism narratives that seeks to demonize, downplay and judge the Other... by what it does or what it doesn't do, by what it has and it doesn't have, by who or what it is? ✨Are we really prepared for a change to the status quo or are we ready to go back to our previous ways because uncertainty is "too hard to handle"? ✨How willing are we to unlearn previous and harmful ways and how ready are we to... bridge, build & break free? I hope these questions sparks some more questions within you as it did within me. Looking forward to hear your thoughts, listen in my link in bio💜 . . . #podcast #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #womensupportingwomen #womeninspiringwomen #womenownedbusiness #womenwholift #inspiringwomen #womeninpower #feminism #intersectionalfeminism #intersectionality 5d | |||

"The main goal of the Second IPB World Congress is to provide a space for gathering and sharing experiences for all involved in international peace and justice movements. A place where we can foster synergies between organizations and individuals, and between interconnected social movements fighting for global justice: peace and disarmament advocates, feminist and LGBTQIA+ campaigners , ecologists and climate activists , antiracists and indigenous people, human rights defenders and trade unionists. We want to promote the inclusion of a peace perspective within these movements, in order to better confront the global challenges of our time: climate change and environmental collapse, gender, racial and economic inequality, the Covid-19 pandemic, mass migrations, refugee crisis, humanitarian emergencies caused by war and repression, and more. This Congress is an opportunity for diverse people, groups and causes to share strategies and to articulate alternatives together. A space to create and renovate tools and discourse, to mobilize citizens from all across the globe in favor of peace and disarmament. A place where we can (re) imagine our world, and take action for peace and justice. We invite you to join us at the Second World Peace Congress in Barcelona, organized by the International Peace Bureau". | |||

Is diplomacy a world of political favors? Do diplomats hold conditional "power" in personal friendships and state alliances? Is this power symbolic, cultural or merely decorative or performative for specific circles (party elites, lobbies, etc) or media circus? Can the role of ambassadors and diplomatic missions deactivate when Realism kicks in the minds of political leaders for power control and state survival? What is the purpose of state ambassadors in times of crisis? Do soft power, discourses and negotiations mostly thrive when Liberalist Theory is the cornerstone of government administrations, foreign policy models and the languages, behaviors and actions that follow?

Are modern states and non-state actors, leaders and institutions creating new forms of "order" without sharing values and interest in *agreed* relation?

How do we measure an Individual, State or System has “too much” power? How are Individuals and Structures of Governance envisioning the acquisition, distribution and removal of Power(s)? If power exists in relation, are humans framing abundance of power through self and collective defeating or thriving modes? Why is an abundance of violence in Politics and IR normalized while an abundance of nonviolence, love and empathy is disregarded, if not seen, as incompatible with these fields? Is there a “fair” and “nonviolent” way to have an Abundance of Power in Politics and IR that doesn’t bring others the perception of being stripped away from their own power, that doesn’t fuel the notion of Scarcity?

| 16 Apr 2024 | 179. Marta Saiz on Human Rights Journalism & Foreign Affairs | 01:31:58 | |
Is the media coverage of foreign policy focusing on states’ behavior to, purposely, dehumanize people? How mainstream, traditional and social media coverages of international conflicts are influenced by and/or can influence too: People, States & Systems? How complex is the experience of covering human rights violations, defense and protection? Can media coverages of human rights violations and mass crimes vary depending on the diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural ties of the countries’ news companies, journalists and editors are from, based on or respond to? Are states foregoing Humanitarian Intervention and R2P mechanisms because economic, diplomatic and religious ties with private or third party actors triumph over, or come at the expense of, the suffering of “other” people? Which human stories of conflict, justice, peace and memory become top news and why others aren’t? Where are these stories being told and who is paying attention, ridiculing, ignoring or censuring them? A Spanish-language interview with Marta Saiz, freelance human rights journalist with more than a decade of experience covering conflict, migration and human rights stories in Iran, Greece, Palestine, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay; winner of the 2021 Premio de periodismo de migración laboral of the International Labour Organization.

Disclaimer: This episode is an edit in response to the upcoming November 25th International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Sensible subjects on GBV, human trafficking, colonial trauma and impunity will be addressed. As producer of the Ser mujer en Latinoamerica documentary map, this is a personal and difficult reflection on international gender equality agendas and systemic and cultural violence for not all states are created equal nor do they all play by the same rules. Violence against women is increasing in Latin America and the Caribbean and unless we understand and address the root causes of violence and not just its symptoms, oppression and inequalities will persist and old wounds (between past imperialistic powers and previous colonies) will continue running deep. | |||

We may have been taught the study of International Relations in a logical way as if there were no underlying energies, emotions and desires in the behaviors and relations between states but, that time, has come to an end. What kind of energies lie beneath domestic and foreign policies? Are states striving for balance or moving towards the extremes of hypermasculinity or hyperfemininity? How are these two concepts influencing their decision-making? How is the intersection between individual thought/emotion/will, social/racial/gender/environmental movements, nations and cultures affecting the structures of States and their relations with others? Why some domestic or foreign policies thrive or fall because of their excess or lack of "energy" behind them? Join us in this exploration, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn @womanhood_ir.

Unpaid domestic work and the care crisis has been big areas of concern amongst scholars and activists studying and advocating for Feminist Economics principles, how can theory and praxis of the care economy help clear the knowledge gap between the public, private and civil sectors?

In which ways the private sector is helping solve the care crisis in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia?

What is war journalism and how it affects our emotional and ideological connection to some conflicts/people/religions and not so much others? In this new exploration we engage in a full conversation on the Post-Truth Era: Why is there so much pressure to use specific words to name the crimes that are not being recognized by "Others" worldwide? How constructive, restrictive, hostile or able our family/education/work/national environments are that we take it "against" people on what we think they should do or should have done? Are we really free if our speech is conditioned by political "correctness"? Are we mirrors (projecting, externalizing) or jurors of that which we easily can condemn? Are we showing international solidarity by recognizing/naming the reality interpreted by/for/against one/some/all sides? 💜Join us in this exploration, subscribe to our newsletter here and support our community in Patreon here.

What is the colonial history of menstrual health, hygiene and education in Latin America? How important is the language used in family settings, schools, business ads, health clinics and government policies to reproduce or reduce the menstrual shame and stigma that is passed on through generations? Why words such as "hygiene", "poverty" and "purification" are used by international development agendas to address menstruation as a "sanitation crises" in the Global South? What needs to change in the local and international approach to decolonize menstrual health, hygiene and education in this region? On World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2023, we feature a Spanish-language interview with Psychologist Carolina Ramirez, founder of Princesas Menstruantes, Escuela de Educación Emancipadas and Coordinator of Encuentro Latinoamericano de Educación, Salud y Activismos Menstruales.

| 25 Aug 2020 | 23. Hegemonic Masculinity and Femininity in World Politics | 00:55:32 | |
Can we overcome the "need" of a "standard way" of leading? Can we shift the way we socially construct local, regional and international relations? In this episode we explore: What is hegemonic masculinity? How are we culturally pre-conditioned to legitimize and maintain it? What is hegemonic femininity and how does it plays in favor of hegemonic masculinity? What cherishing figures like Jacinda Ardern, Greta Thunberg and Michelle Obama have in common with confining power by and among women? 3-Step Assignment of this episode: 1. Identify the IR level of analysis (individual, state and system vs. national, regional, global) 2. Identify the realms of hegemonic masculinity/femininity expressions (ie. business, politics, economics, media, sports, etc) 3. Brainstorm the ways in which you are perceiving hegemonic masculinity/femininity expressions in those levels and realms, which are yours vs. influenced by collective consciousness?

| 21 Oct 2021 | 111. The Future of Feminist Foreign Policies & the EU | 00:47:36 | |
Are feminist foreign policy models "spreading" in an imperialistic way? Are states reacting to "feminism" as an international security threat? The fact that many EU countries are pursuing and paying too much attention to this "trend", could it be seen as a sign of untreated coloniality of power and knowledge? Are feminists from Euro-American spheres of influence asking states to "better" and "oversee" the treatment of the considered "subaltern" women in developing countries? Is the source of patriarchy ever really challenged or are we just playing along to fix its problems' symptoms? Do we have clarity over the outcomes of our call to include the F word in Foreign Policy? A reflection on this week's panel discussion "Hacia una política exterior con perspectiva de género: Aportes desde las teorías feministas de las Relaciones Internacionales" organized by Dirección de la Mujer y Asuntos de Género, Cancillería Argentina and featuring Mariel R. Lucero (Mendoza, Argentina), Cyntia Enloe (United States), Marysia Zalewski (United Kingdom), Ann Towns (Sweden) and Heather Smith (Canada). Join our next live events:

| 07 Mar 2023 | 151. Dr. Luke Moffett on Reparations in Post-Conflict Societies | 01:06:11 | |
What are reparations and how are they different from other transitional justice mechanisms? How are reparations from war different from those of dictatorships, legacies of slavery and colonization? Do reparations help people "heal", individually and collectively, wounds from the past? If so, how? What is our role in agreeing upon or legitimizing a "hierarchy of victims"? How do we perceive justice for victims? Can justice ever arrive "too late"? Do victims really feel a sense of “closure” when reparations talks and programs take place? Can victims "self-repair"? What can we learn from the case studies of Guatemala, Peru, Northern Ireland, Uganda, Nepal, South Africa and Kosovo? An interview with Dr. Luke Moffett, reader of the School of Law at Queen's University Belfast and author of the new book "Reparations and War: Finding the Balance in Repairing the Past".

Millions of women and girls around the world lack access to clean water. In some rural areas and cultures, they are the ones walking up to 4 miles to collect water (not necessarily safe to drink) several times a day negatively affecting their opportunities for education, work and living a healthy and dignified life. Why is clean water so important for women and how could it help them gain their time (and lives!) back? How are WASH projects making a positive difference in the lives of individual people and their communities? What challenges and successes can be found in WASH projects operating in ongoing conflict zones or water-stressed areas in Africa and Asia? Is the water crisis solvable in our lifetime?

| 24 Aug 2021 | An Invitation to the 2021 International Day of Peace Virtual Film Festival | 00:07:57 | |
Leading up to Peace Day on September 21, our podcast has become a media sponsor to World Beyond War's upcoming virtual film festival, an event seeking to expose the impact of militarism around the world and the power of nonviolence. The festival will span 3 weekends — Saturday, September 4, September 11, and September 18 — covering a multitude of themes, from colonial violence in Canada and military base pollution in Washington State, to a coup d’état in Haiti and nonviolent peacekeeping in Bougainville.
Each film screening will be followed by an exclusive Q&A with the directors and special guests to explore the topics covered in the films and how to take action. Film festival tickets are priced on a sliding scale starting at just $5 USD. All proceeds benefit World BEYOND War to grow the global movement for war abolition and to help cover event expenses. One ticket gets you a festival pass to access all of the films and panel discussions. Films will be screened on Zoom.

| 12 May 2023 | 156. Revaluing Women's IR Analysis in Traditional & Social Media | 00:48:46 | |
How are we currently valuing women's presence, voices and expertise in traditional media and social media as fellow colleagues, readers, listeners or audience members? Has the patriarchal mindset and the predomination of male experts in the International Relations field affected the way we look and value women experts whether we agree with their IR analysis or not? Are we aware of the set of beauty standards, cultural norms and behavior expectations we personally or collectively measure to define what a "good scholar" or a "good professional" should be, look or sound like? What kind of struggles, insecurities, risks and/or structural barriers do women experts face in order to be recognized as "experts" or "legitimized" by their peers within this field? Why the criticism against women's experts in IR is mostly destructive criticism and not constructive? Is it possible to revalue or re-educate our gaze and value system in a nonviolent way? This episode is a new exercise that builds on previous podcast explorations we have shared of how Feminist Theory in IR is connected to the embodied experience of people from different genders studying or working in various areas of Political Science.

How and where belief systems sustain themselves? Which personal/domestic/international structures are we seeking to "transform" with feminism? Why do we feel the "need" to change "one" or multiple external manifestation(s) of patriarchal values, behaviors and systems? Do we have the capacity to sustain the "new change" we seek to create?
