6 MAR 2023 · In this episode, Manaeha and Matt speak with Erin McFee and Arturo Gutierrez de Velasco. Erin is the Principle Investigator of Trust after Betrayal (https://www.trustafterbetrayal.org/), a project that examines interpersonal trust among violence-affected individuals in communities where actors from all sides of the conflicts live together. Their multi-sited ethnography spans across former members of non-state armed groups in Somalia, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador, and military veterans in the United States. They focus on Colombia, which is where Arturo, a 3rd year student at the college, did research over the summer. As a Pozen human rights intern, he helped conduct interviews with ex-militants in Colombia. They discuss what the Trust after Betrayal Project is, why it is important, and the nuance and complexity that goes into interviewing and researching ex-militants. Let’s hear from them!

27 FEB 2023 · In this episode, Manaeha and Matt interview Roja Fazaeli and a member of the Baha'i community. We will be referring to him as “A”, as he has requested to remain anonymous in light of the possible threat to himself and his family this interview might pose.
Roja Fazaeli is an Associate Professor in Islamic Civilisation, Near & Middle Eastern Studies at Trinity College Dublin. A is a refugee of the Baha'i community living in the US. We are going to provide an overview of what the Baha'i faith is and who its people are. We start with an explanation of Bahaism and its emergence in Iran, then we go to why the Iranian state sees the Bahai as such a fundamental threat to its regime, still acknowledging that the state is different from its people, and there is hope for Baha'is especially within the younger generations to resist anti-baha’i propaganda. We end with ways the Bahai create community in their daily lives, a way they can resist the horrible oppression and constant persecution they face. Now this episode might contain a lot of jargon that you might not be familiar with, but we encourage you to push yourself to stick around anyway. The least we can do is listen and validate the struggles the Baha’i community is facing.

13 FEB 2023 · Listen to Manaeha and Matt and their interview with Dr. Alex Blanchette, a Professor in the department of anthropology at Tufts University, who got his PhD at UChicago. His book Porkopolis: American Animality, Standardized Life is an ethnography of work within some of the world's largest meat corporations. Big thank you to Dr. Blanchette for giving his time and sharing some of his personal experiences regarding his research into American factory farms. They talk about manure lagoons, concentrated feed lots, and hopefully this episode starts a much needed conversation about what workers as well as animals endure in and surrounding industrial farms in the US.

29 GEN 2023 · Manaeha and Matt share their interview with Leila K Blackbird and Leah Horowitz in this episode. Leila K. Blackbird is a PhD Candidate in the subject of U.S. History and the Pozen Family Human Rights Doctoral Fellowship Coordinator. Her research focuses on (post/de) colonialism, slavery, state violence, and the environment. Leah Horowitz is currently at the School of Human Ecology at the University of Wisconsin Madison, using ethnographic methods to examine grassroots engagements with environmental issues, especially with regards to Indigenous communities’ negotiations with and resistance to environmentally risky industrial expansion. Both Leila and Leah share their personal experiences being indigenous and working on indigeneity, respectively, especially in Academia. It can be hard, maybe even counterintuitive, to be having a discussion on indigeneity from the context of a colonial institution. How can we strive to be anti-colonial at UChicago and other institutions? Leila and Leah offer their wisdom and share specifics about their respective works to try to explore this question.
