Conscious Absurdity: The Commonplace Acceptance of Irrational Bollocks
April 19, 2016, 8:54 p.m.
(Warning: Rough Language) TheAngryindian again engages in unscripted spoken word in an attempt to deconstruct the political and social chaos that is the North American political scene and the US political Left-Wing in general. This is not a direct criticism of the American Progressive movement as much as it is an expression of the frustration and sense of betrayal observed by anyone Indigenous or African who is paying objective attention. Much of his critique questions the establishment Democratic political party and the power-struggle within the DNC rank-and-file over the strong popularly-supported campaign of Vermont State native, Senator Bernie Sanders and the working-class level threat he presents to the DNC power-structure and the re-candidacy of Hillary Clinton. This includes the pathological plantation-minded hold she has on many in the American African community and the increasingly hateful sociopolitical debate on sexual orientation(s); anti-transgender discrimination and the obvious ways in which the colonialised sectors of non-White society are suffering miserably from a mixed bag of acquired psychosis found among those observed within the dominant, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant-based political environment of North America. EXTRAS: Brief moments from a public address on jaundiced perspectives by George Carlin, a rendition of 'Borstal Breakout' (in Basque) by SkaEnxebre and an archived US television performance by Lenny Bruce doing his very best to identify the absurd and in doing so, risking it all by offending just about everybody.
The Atomic Age: Humans and Other Living Beings Come Last
April 19, 2016, 7:47 p.m.
In all the memories recorded about the nuclear technologies and the disasters of our time the fate of humans exposed to radiation comes last. That was the leading concept of a Fukushima/Chernobyl anniversary talk by Norma Field. She hopes to rescue humans and other living things from oblivion and from the real harm inflicted upon them now and into the future.
Some argue that Norma Field risked her academic standing as professor of East Asian studies at the University of Chicago by not only teaching Premodern Japanese Poetry and Prose, and Women Studies, but also by being public and vocal in her indictment of nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
Born in Tokyo in 1947 to a Japanese mother and American serviceman father she was in a unique position to understand each one of her cultures with curiosity as well as distance.
Norma Field is the author of many books, among them: In the Realm of a Dying Emperor: A Portrait of Japan at Century's End (1993) and From My Grandmother's Bedside: Sketches of Postwar Tokyo (1997).

A Conversation With Ann Garrison
April 19, 2016, 7:25 p.m.
Ann Garrison explains how her work on behalf of the Green Party in the U.S. and her interesting research into strategic minerals found in Africa led to her investigation into the perpetual wars in Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Americaâs method of regime change under the banner of Responsibility to Protect. Ann also talks about the importance of Victoire Ingabire, imprisoned for her attempt to make Rwanda a real democracy where citizens of all ethnicities live as equals. She shows how the word genocide is manipulated to justify Paul Kagameâs one-man rule.
Jessica Winegar on the minefield of Middle East studies in academia today
April 19, 2016, 4:32 p.m.
Briefly, scholars face hostility and job insecurity when they choose to teach or engage in studies involving Palestine, and especially Israel's victimization of Palestine, while failing to embrace the Zionist mantra that Palestinians are terrorists.
In this 53-minute episode we feature an incisive presentation by Northwestern University anthropologist Jessica Winegar. She takes a long critical look at the minefield of Middle East studies in academia today through her new book, Anthropologyâs Politics: Disciplining the Middle East.
This talk, based on the book co-authored with Lara Deeb, examines the complex pressures that shape how U.S. scholars research and teach about the Middle East. Using ethnographic and archival research on Middle East anthropology as a lens onto the broader politics of the U.S. academy, it reveals the persistent consequences of ongoing racism, sexism, Islamophobia, and anti-Palestinian prejudice within the academy.
Jessica Winegar gave this talk recently at Tufts University. She is introduced by Tufts Anthropology Professor, Amahl Bishara.
Zoe Weil: Sustainable Education, Part II
April 19, 2016, 4:07 p.m.
What if every child emerged from the public educational system with an appreciation for the connectivity of all human and non-human life, and with a commitment to create solutions to the problems that plague that interconnected ecosystem? Today on Sea Change Radio we continue our discussion with Zoe Weil, education reformer and environmentalist who holds that vision firmly in view. Last week we talked about the intersection of sustainability and public education. Today we go deeper into some concrete strategies, programs, and curricula that can help make this vision real. Whatâs the link between obesity and the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico? How do you bridge the equity gap that PTA fundraising inadvertently widens? And how can teaching critical thinking in public education help to sustain this institution that is the life blood of a participatory democracy? Listen as we grapple with these questions.
US Plan B for Syria: Give Al-Qaeda More Powerful Weapons
April 19, 2016, 12:45 p.m.
Despite rhetoric from Washington about good-faith peace talks for Syria, the US continues in its historical path of arming terrorists and lusting for regime change, all traceable to its imperial project of world hegemony and elimination of states that insist on the right to self-determination and national sovereignty.

Thinking Out Loud On The Issue Of Israel - Palestine
April 18, 2016, 10:06 p.m.
Rabbi Brant Rosen talks about the journey he finds himself on to reconcile the contradiction in the founding Zionist mythos of Israel and the incompatibility of his religious values with those necessary to establish and maintain a colonial settler state in historic Palestine. He spoke at Garrett Theological Seminary at a conference titled Radicalized States & Popular Resistance: From Chicago To Jerusalem. The conference was motivated by the confluence of State violence against bodies that have been devalued, racialized and radicalized. There is a legacy shared by Israel and the United States: genocidal and racist practices, violence and war against the other, militarism and fear that hollow out core humanity, and the inevitable "popular resistance".

April 17, 2016, 7:32 p.m.
The NB government announced on April 14, 2016 that there is going to be a new grant for students from families who make under $60,000. This show presents a breakdown of the announcement, discussing, among other things, that while providing something positive for many students, the formula excludes many, and does not apply a needs assessment, which goes deeper than a strict $60,000 cut off.
