By doing so, we want to give those women a platform to anonymously share their experiences, thus helping to make aware of bias that women are confronted with every day. We asked our community about bias and stereotypes they have been exposed to. Gender bias, both conscious and unconscious, exist and each impacts women. As we strongly believe in the power of our community, we not only shared insights, but also collected their - your - input to come up with a comprehensive list that aims (1) to create awareness, (2) to inspire and educate and (3) to initiate change. The last week, we created a lot of content all aiming to "Break the Bias" - the theme of this year's International Women's Week. Women are more likely than men to have their competence questioned and their authority undermined. On top of this, women continue to have a worse day-to-day experience at work. Although we have seen important gains since 2016, women are still significantly underrepresented at all levels of management.

I read the cereal packet in desperation if nothing else is there. I read a bit the same as I breathe, like many of you. At every crossroad these women face, readers are taken deeper into the heart of what it means to be a family. And then there's Elsa, the polished face of daytime TV, who's triumphed over demons before, but is now facing her toughest battle yet. Watching over them is their grandmother Pearl, who, despite caring deeply for her family, is contending with a long-buried secret. There's her sister Coco, who runs a vintage dress shop, but has avoided the complications of romantic commitment. There's Cassie, who's spent her married life doing everything right for her children, husband, and mother-in-law, yet feels so exhausted that "wine o'clock" comes a littler earlier each afternoon. Meet the women of Delaney Gardens, a bustling suburban village in the outer reaches of Dublin. One enlivening way in which a poem, both in rhetorical and musical form, complicates and bears witness to the “substance” that underlies and connects images is by presenting them on its own interrelating fields of meaning and complexity. The poems respond to our world through their own twin joys of language and music, their diction characterized by inventive, eclectic, and often overlooked or underappreciated words and phrases, reminding us of the diversity of expressive potential present in our inherited language while also allowing the more playful improvisations to celebrate what is yet and daily present to the eye, the ear, the mind, and the heart. Drawing on subject matter rooted in the daily and remembered worlds of family and community – and often nature – in and around working-class Detroit, the poems form associations that interrelate nuances ranging throughout global and historical affairs but maintain grounding in their abiding value of humbly upheld impressions of human compassion and resilience. Although the individual poems that congregate in Cal Freeman’s recent collection, Poolside at the Dearborn Inn, are often as subtle as they are profound, the constellations between them engage with even more subtle interconnections of psychological and spiritual mystery. The most exciting and popular angel-based movie is Lucifer, which I watched on Netflix and enjoyed very much. Readers love to see angels as heroes, but sometimes we see them as villains. In angel fiction or romance, angels represent very differently for the story purpose. The guardian angels assigned to each one of us are serving God and helping God by bringing us closer to Him. So they send messages to God’s people on behalf of God. They’re often doing that in the religious book and sending messages. Intelligence beings can think and act independently, and the word angel means messenger. Whereas humans have bodies and spirits, angels are only spirits.Īngels are eternal, but God created them. But in fiction or books, they appear human and can transform into any shape or look. First, we know that angels are spiritual beings and have no body structure. We’ve got many examples of Bible stories about the angels, and they’re doing various things. Infinite Country is less concerned with Talia's quest to reunite with her family, though, than with the choices and circumstances - and cruel immigration policies - that led to their initial separation. Her mother and siblings, Karina and Nando, live in New Jersey, where Talia is finally set to join them. Talia was born in the United States, but raised by her father and grandmother in Colombia. In only a few pages, Engel makes abundantly clear that Talia is more than equipped to escape the nuns and make her way back to Bogotá, where she has a plane to catch. In the first chapter of Patricia Engel's third novel, Infinite Country, a 15-year-old girl named Talia breaks free from a nun-managed reform school in the Colombian mountains. Understand though that even though English is classified as a "Germanic Language," German does not generally translate well into English. Once in a while Kaufmann says something a bit "off the wall" (if that old saying is in current usage) but generally his translations are pretty reliable. I purchased this volume because I am transcribing and editing some lectures I tape recorded decades ago. More Nietzsche per cubic inch than any other published volume.

In 1999, San Francisco’s Mission District is rapidly gentrifying. Churning through lovers, baggies, and bottles, writer Michelle Leduski runs for LA with the end of the world on her heels. It will outlast Salesman and perhaps Macbeth. Of the colossuses, the oldest is Oedipus, and being oldest, the most robust. It featured a powerhouse translation by classicist Nicholas Rudall, a dazzling, all-white scenic design, and a chorus that walked amongst the audience. Court Theatre in Chicago just staged Oedipus to rave reviews. Then there’re the colossuses: Sophocles’ Oedipus rex, Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Friedrich Schiller’s 1782 play, The Robbers, is remembered today as an example of the “Storm and Stress” art movement. Other plays enter the canon, but languish on the fringes as historical curiosities. Some plays, such as Norton and Sackville’s Gorboduc from 1561, have been produced many times. Have you heard of Antiphon’s Andromache? I didn’t think so. When Genius Failed: A Risk Theatre Reading of Sophocles’ Oedipus rexĪ Presentation to Laurel Bowman’s GRS 320 Greek Tragedy Class Only then will we have a chance at a world where all begin on more equal footing. To close the divide, Hickel proposes dramatic action rooted in real justice: abolishing debt burdens in the global South, democratizing the institutions of global governance, and rolling out an international minimum wage, among many other vital steps. Global inequality is not natural or inevitable, and it is certainly not accidental. Global poverty-and the growing inequality between the rich countries of Europe and North America and the poor ones of Africa, Asia, and South America-has come about because the global economy has been designed over the course of five hundred years of conquest, colonialism, regime change, and globalization to favor the interests of the richest and most powerful nations. As seen on Sky News All Out Politics Theres no understanding global inequality without understanding its history. It insists that if poor countries would only adopt the right institutions and economic policies, they could overcome their disadvantages and join the ranks of the rich world.Īnthropologist Jason Hickel argues that this story ignores the broader political forces at play. It tells us that all we have to do is give a bit of aid here and there to help poor countries up the development ladder. The standard narrative tells us this crisis is a natural phenomenon, having to do with things like climate and geography and culture. More than four billion people-some 60 percent of humanity-live in debilitating poverty, on less than $5 per day. In his book The Divide: A Brief Guide to Global Inequality and its Solutions, Jason Hickel turns his back on old developmentalist formulas, challenging the.
