OnJustice

In this episode we invited Wiktoria, who runs The Esprit de Corps initiative, to speak about the refugee crisis - not just the Ukrainian crisis, but the global problem of displaced peoples and how different governments address this situation. 

We’re not news reporters, but we can tell you some people who are. If you want to find out what’s going on in the world, especially with the Ukraine crisis, check out any of the links below.

And, most importantly, check out Wiktoria's website: https://espritdecorpsproje.wixsite.com/website. You'll find information there about supporting refugees.

"Anything I love, I can slander" says Lauren in this episode. We love Encanto for so many reasons, but we also have some serious criticisms. We discuss the good, the bad AND the ugly in this episode - How did Disney represent Colombian culture? What is Disney-fication? Is Disney more present in our lives than we may realize?

This episode is a really interesting conversation about capital punishment. It's also the day a professional photographer came to take pictures of the group, so the episode is littered with shutter clicks. We apologize!

We want to know if and when you think about capital punishment and its implications. Does it come up in your classes? Have you heard about it recently in the news? How does your culture deal with capital punishment as compared to other cultures?

Our theme for season 2 of the podcast is "discomfort". For many, nothing is more uncomfortable than speaking about abortion, so we decided to start there. 

And then, of course, there was Texas and SB8.

And now there is Izabela, the Polish woman who died of sepsis after doctors and midwives refused to remove her dying foetus...#notonemore

These recent events prove that the abortion conversation is as important as ever. So will you discuss the past and the present with us in order to define a more equitable future?

The articulate Lauren takes over this episode to help us understand the importance of representing black culture (among many others!) in the media.

Vincent, from @reset.revolution, stepped in to interview Lauren; the @reset.revolution X @onjustice collaboration was a success and we look forward to working together in the future!

We watched a movie and thought we'd tell you about it - Moxie! (Moxie. Directed by Amy Poehler, Netflix, 2021.)

We loved this movie, but it sparked a lot of discussion and one big question - how do we make our voices heard in a positive and impactful manner? Listen to get our answers, then get out there and take action!

Spoiler alert - listen to our podcast after the movie if you don't want the spoilers!

Attention - this podcast, and the film, contain discussions of rape and sexual harassment. If you, or someone you know, is a victim of rape, incest or sexual harassment speak to a person you trust - an adult or a friend. Here are some resources on the subject, most in French as the podcast is recorded and produced in France.

The OnJustice group is helping to organise phase 2 of the Wells International Foundation COVID-19 Pages virtual art expo. The virtual expo features professional (phase 1) and amateur (phase 2) female artists, whose works of art feature women who are making a difference during the pandemic.

Some have wondered - is it sexist to exclude men from participating in the expo?

So OnJustice debates in this episode whether or not men can be victims of sexism...Can the oppressors be oppressed? Are women's brains really different than men's? Which member of the OnJustice group is most fit to take care of children? And what does RBG have to do with all of this?

Enjoy!
