Peace Talks Radio episodes
- Learning Mediation
Twenty-one people including PEACE TALKS RADIO host, Suzanne Kryder, took a
40-hour mediation course in Albuqueruqe, NM to improve their communication
skills and to someday mediate professionally. Suzanne talks with Anne
Lightsey, a professional mediator and the course instructor, about what
each of us can do during conflict to make peace rather than simply
conclude the other person is wrong. She also talks with four course
participants about both their unique motivation to take the course and
what they learned from it.59 min - Seeking Peace on Earth: A PEACE TALKS RADIO Special (2018)
PEACE TALKS RADIO, the radio series and podcast on peacemaking and
nonviolent conflict resolution strategies offers up another compilation
show based on a single season of its programs. You’ll hear compelling
excerpts from programs released in 2018. Included are conversations about
reducing sexual assault by understanding consent, promoting the
development of empathy in young people, improving empathy among health
care workers, techniques for healing trauma and more.59 min - Grappling with the Violence of Whiteness
In public discussions of racial violence, the focus is often on people of
color and the way they experience racism. In this episode of Peace Talks
Radio, our guests turn the lens on Whiteness, asking how the notion of
Whiteness came to be, how it has shaped American history and how it
perpetuates injustice in interpersonal interactions and systems in
American society today. We talk with John Biewen, audio director at the
Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, who produced the 2017
series Seeing White for his podcast “Scene On Radio”. The fourteen-part
documentary audio series takes a deep dive into the history of Whiteness
as a tool used to oppress people of color.Then we speak with Cheryl E. Matias, Ph.D., an associate professor at the
University of Colorado Denver’s School of Education and Human Development.
Matias, a woman of color, teaches mostly white teacher-candidates who
often have the well-intentioned goal of teaching students of color in
urban schools. Her book, "Feeling White", details how her students’ strong
negative emotional reactions often derail important conversations about
race, and offers lessons on how to work through those “emotionalities of
Whiteness” in order to have more productive dialogue.We’ll also hear excerpts from an October 2018 workshop entitled “What Is
Whiteness?” taught by educator and anti-racism activist Frida Miles at the
Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice. Hannah Colton hosts.59 min - More From "Playing For Change": The Peace Through Music Project
Back in 2010, Peace Talks Radio did a program of an especially creative
joining of music and peace. An outfit called Playing For Change was
flying around the globe to record an eclectic collection of musicians
playing together on some popular songs to promote the power of music to
bring us together. In fact the Playing for Change motto was Peace Through
Music.In the years since the first big Playing For Change video ("Stand By Me"),
and that early report by us here at Peace Talks Radio, Playing for Change
has continued to add to its collection of amazing worldwide performances.
We’ll hear some of the tracks from the project's 2018 CD called Listen To
The Music, which included the title cut with members of the original
Doobie Brothers who recorded it first in the 1970's, and again added
musicians from around the world contributing to the track.Again, we got Playing For Change producer Mark Johnson on the line with us
from California to update us on the project. Paul Ingles hosts59 min - Finding Peace, Sustaining Peace
How do we find peace and how do we make peace last? It's easy to become
cynical and lose hope when faced with conflicts that seem intractable and
have lasted for so long. But there are people working on solutions, even
reaching across divides that seemed insurmountable in the past. On this
edition of Peace Talks Radio, we talk with Noga Harpaz, an Israeli, and
Raed al-Hadar, a Palestinian, who are part of “Combatants for Peace”. The group is committed to nonviolence and was launched in 2006 by former combatants who believe the cycle of violence can only stop when Israelis and Palestinians join forces. Their work was the focus of the documentary film "Disturbingthe Peace."We also talk with Peter T. Coleman, a psychologist with the Teachers
College at Columbia University and director of the Morton Deutsch
International Center for Cooperation & Conflict Resolution. He and his
team are studying peaceful societies in a quest to understand how peace is
sustained, a very different approach from the typical strategy of studying
peace processes after conflict. It's akin to medicine focused on promoting
wellness, versus treating illness and pathology. Megan Kamerick hosts.59 min - Empathy and Peace Behavior
What are the pros and cons of empathy? Does having empathy lead to
peace-inspired action for you, your community, and the world? We'll speak
with several experts about empathy and how it impacts our behavior such as
relationships with others. Our guests include Courtney Custer at
Albuquerque's Southwest Family Guidance Center. She'll explain the "Roots
of Empathy" program in which babies successfully teach empathy in the
classroom. Also, Eric Butler who iss a national Restorative Justice
educator and activist who will discuss blocks to empathy. Plus, Dr. Sam
Richards an award-winning teacher and sociologist at Penn State University
and Dr. Laurie Mulvey is the executive director and co-founder (with
Richards) of the World in Conversation Center for Public Diplomacy at Penn
State. Suzanne Kryder hosts.59 min - Songwriting To Heal Soldiers' Trauma
On her 2018 album project, "Rifles & Rosary Beads", singer/songwriter Mary
Gauthier shares the stories of American veterans by writing the songs with
them. Gauthier collaborated with the nonprofit "Songwriting With:
Soldiers" to co-write the album's 11 tracks with veterans and their
families. Paul Ingles hosts.59 min - Peacemaking in Hip Hop Music
When some talk about music that promotes peacemaking, hip hop and rap
often get left out of the conversation. Some critics speculate about that
genre’s negative influence - from hypersexual music videos to glamorizing
guns and drugs. A recent Washington Post headline quotes jazz musician
Wynton Marsalis calling popular hip hop “more damaging than a statue of
Robert E. Lee.”In this episode of Peace Talks Radio, Hannah Colton explores peacemaking
in hip hop culture and history with one documentarian and one artist.
First, Hannah speaks with Brother Ali, a Minneapolis-based rapper,
community organizer and spiritual teacher. Ali, who is white, was born
albino and partially blind, and says as a kid he found belonging in the
black community and hip hop culture. As a young man he converted to Islam,
and he speaks to ideas of spirituality in his 2017 album “All The Beauty
In This Whole Life.”Then Hannah speaks with Harry Allen, a hip hop activist who has written
for many publications including the Village Voice, The Source, Essence and
Wired magazines.59 min - Fostering Empathy and Compassion in Medicine
The evolution of medical discoveries and advanced technologies have
brought wonderful cures and increased longevity. But what have we lost?
How often have you been a patient, or an advocate for a loved one in the
hospital, and faced doctors who seem curt or who aren't fully present and
listening? Today on Peace Talks Radio, we'll talk about empathy and
compassion in medicine. There's an increasing recognition that
compassionate care not only improves patient outcomes, but also helps
doctors avoid professional burnout.Our host Megan Kamerick talks with three guests. First is Dr. Rana
Awdish, who learned a harrowing lesson when she went from being a critical
care physician to a critical care patient in her own hospital - the Henry
Ford Health System in Detroit. A tumor on her liver ruptured during her
pregnancy and she nearly died. Awdish found there was a shocking lack of
empathy among her colleagues and realized many of the faults she saw she
had committed herself as a doctor. Also, Dr. David Rakel talks about the
role compassion and human connection play in promoting health and
well-being, something he witnessed often in his own practice. Another
guest, Dr. Marc J. Kahn completed a study with his colleagues that found a
correlation between exposure to the arts and empathy in medical students,
which might lead to fostering more compassion in care.59 min - Humane Policing
Conversation with both Darron Spencer, a former Colorado Sheriff's deputy
and author of the book "Humane Policing" and Albuquerque Police officer
Simon Drobik who participated in a 13-hour effort to stop a troubled man
from jumping off a highway overpass into traffic. Both men discuss
infusing more empathy toward the public and suspects in police work.59 min
