The Surviving Society team are extremely excited to present #TheSpotlightSeries. In these episodes Chantelle and Tissot take a step back from the mic and handover to both local and global academics, researchers, and community organizers. The Spotlight series continues with the themes from the original Surviving Society podcast focused on race, class, anti- racism and social movements.

Guest Hosts:
Karis Campion - Karis is a Legacy in Action Research Fellow at the Stephen Lawrence Research Centre. Her current research focuses on barbershops and examines their function as counter-hegemonic spaces and key social institutions for Black communities in Britain. She is currently writing a book entitled Making Mixed Race: A Study of Time, Place and Identity (Routledge). Her research interests span areas of (mixed) race/ethnic identity, geographies of race in urban space, intersectional inequalities, youth identities, anti-racism and institutional racism in education.

Stephen Ashe - Stephen Ashe is a Teaching Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Durham University. Prior to joining the Sociology Department, Stephen was a Research Associate in the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity at the University of Manchester where he conducted research on untold stories in the anti-racist and anti-imperial struggle for civil rights and social justice in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s (with Satnam Virdee), workplace racism (with James Nazroo), and the relationship between race and class in post-Brexit Britain (with James Rhodes and Sivamohan Valluvan). Since 2018, Stephen has carried out research on different aspects of racial inequality and institutional whiteness in higher education at four different universities in England. This included research on the awarding gap in the social sciences, the effectiveness of widening participation schemes and the transition to undergraduate student life, and the impact of programmes designed to empower students racialised as non-white through the creation of safe spaces and a sense of belonging. Stephen co-edited and contributed to Routledge’s recently published edited collection, Researching the Far Right: Theory, Method and Practice (Ashe, Busher, Macklin and Winter, 2020).

Remi Joseph-Salisbury - Remi is a Presidential Fellow in Ethnicity and Inequalities at the University of Manchester. He is the author of 'Black Mixed-Race Men', and co-editor of 'The Fire Now: Anti-Racism in Times of Explicit Racial Violence'. He has written widely on race and racism, with a particular focus on education and policing. His forthcoming work, with Dr Laura Connelly, focuses on anti-racist scholar-activism in UK universities and will be published as a book in 2021.

E171 Shereen Fernandez: PREVENT, counter-terrorism & securitisation in schools

In this episode we hear from Amardeep Singh Dhillon, Roxy Legane, Jeremy Corbyn, Khadija Diskin and Ava Vidal on how the ‘cost of living crisis’ is part of a long term political project relating to austerity, nationalism, policing, hospitality, food, housing, the media and much more. 


Each interviewee was asked: Phrases like the cost of living crisis end up getting used and repeated so much that the meaning and lives behind the issue get missed. What do you see as the urgent matters concerning the cost of living crisis and what would you do or advise to alleviate them?

This episode was part of a mini-series recorded at The World Transformed: a festival of radical politics, art and music. In 2022 it was held in Liverpool between 24-27 September.

E175 What is the cost of living crisis? Live from the World Transformed festival

When Israel’s HaEmek railway reopened in 2016, it served only nine stations and stopped 4km shy of the Jordanian border. Far from more spectacular sites of violence, the train’s inauguration fell below most people’s radar. In this week’s episode, Sharri Plonski tells the story of this “train to nowhere” - of its colonial history, how its logistical future would rewrite the map of the Middle East, and how increased Israeli mobility entails increased Palestinian fragmentation and containment. But, as we’ll hear, as ever Palestinians are powerfully resisting efforts to make their lives unliveable. 

On the trail of this train, Sharri speaks with Palestinian academics and activists Yara Hawari, Omar Jabary-Salamanca, and Hanna Swaid; as well as Laleh Khalili, Manu Karuka, and Katy Fox-Hoddess. Talking to them, she learns that, though logistical infrastructures are vehicles of state or corporate power, they also make possible forms of international solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom. They also tell her that to fully understand Israel’s normalisation project it is essential to look at these less visible, but no less violent, material crimes.

3: A Train to Nowhere (Sharri Plonski)

What on earth can a central bus station have to do with racial capitalism and settler-colonialism? This week’s host, Mor Cohen, tells the story of the Central Bus Station (CBS) in the Tel Aviv neighbourhood Neve Sha’anan. Talking to activist Shula Keshet and academic Sharon Rotbart, Mor learns how the CBS’ fortunes show how Israel concretises its colour lines in the urban environment. These racial divisions pit the wellbeing of Israel’s different precarious communities against one another - in this case, Neve Sha’anan’s largely Mizrahi Jewish residents resisting the station’s polluting effect on their neighbourhood, and Israel’s migrant communities who have eked out precarious ecosystems within the CBS. 

And, as we’ll learn with Mor, underlying all of this, is the spectre of settler-colonialism. Long before the 1948 nakba (catastrophe), peripheral neighbourhoods such as Neve Sha’anan were planned as front line settlements separating Jews and Palestinians. Still used as a buffer between Jewish cities and Israel’s dwindling Palestinian urban areas, Mor tries to understand the significance of Neve Sha’anan today as an expression of Israel’s settler-colonial violence in the present.

5: The White Elephant (Mor Cohen)

In this episode we address how the monarchy’s historical, and contemporary, relationship to systems of colonialism, imperialism, Empire, and the structures of secrecy make researching the monarchy so challenging.
With special guest, Dr Brooke Newman, Virginia Commonwealth University.  

Welcome to Surviving Society Presents - “the global power of the British monarchy’
In these episodes, we will be looking to challenge existing conversations about the British monarchy. Often in popular discourse, the monarchy is taken for granted as a part of British culture. With expert guests, the podcast tells a story of the ‘other side’ of monarchy. From its links to Empire and colonialism, to issues of wealth accumulation and nationalism, the series sets out to disrupt common sense understandings and undertake a critical analysis of the Firm and its various intersections with inequality.

In this first episode of this new series, we explore the history of trade unions in Britain. We learn about the decades of restrictions imposed on workers and how people continue to find ways to resist workplace inequities. 


Summary 
In this Red Pepper and Surviving Society collaboration we platform workers and academics to explore the history of trade unions and industrial action in Britain.  
Many of us within society feel disconnected from the politics of the workplace. Whilst action is at its highest level in decades, there remains very little substantive analysis of the backgrounds and longer histories that has led to specific strikes. The series places industrial action into wider debates about public ownership, capitalism and the economy.
