Olivia by olivia5/9/2023 Her research at the field level and on thematic issues has led to support the European External Action Service in integrating environmental peacemaking as part of their mediation toolkit. It is also through fieldwork that she came to observe the ways in which the plundering of ecosystems feeds conflict systems across the world and contributes to climate disruptions. In her fieldwork, her focus was to understand how globalization and the international political economy shaped patterns of violence and vulnerability patterns as well as formed new types of conflict systems that our international governance architecture has difficulty tackling with agility. With an original specialization in the political economy of conflicts, she has worked for various NGOs, the UN, the EU, and donor states in the Middle East, Latin America, Sub-Saharan and North Africa, and parts of Asia. She has over twelve years of experience in the peacemaking sector at field and policy levels. Olivia is an environmental peacemaking and mediation practitioner as well as a researcher. Her research focuses on the geopolitics of climate, the transition ushered by climate change, and the risks of conflict and fragility associated to climate change and environmental collapse. Olivia Lazard is a fellow at Carnegie Europe.

Hospital sketches5/8/2023 Tribulation exchanges the comfort of her home with the coarseness of an unfamiliar and harsh field hospital. The road towards independence, however, is depicted as neither easy nor pleasant. So far, these aspects paint her character in the colors of an independent and strong woman very similar to Alcott’s other fierce heroine, namely Jo March, the protagonist of Little Women. Frustrated with the endless barriers set by a patriarchal society, she finally decides to set sail into the big wide world, and create opportunities where she finds none. This meaningful opening sets the tone of the work, and gives Tribulation the characteristics of a new woman and a feminist character, who would let nothing get in the way of her ambitions. She refuses marriage, declines teaching, opposes writing, and only settles on the bold career of a field nurse. The story begins accordingly when the protagonist takes a decisive step outside her conventional life by declining all the social positions, which gender roles, at the time, had suffered her to occupy. Thus, its heroine, Tribulation Periwinkle, is no other than Alcott herself behind the veil of a fictional character. Hospital Sketches is a fictionalized record of Louisa May Alcott’s own career as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War.

I had a class in Bowman Hall, and I had a Guardsman right outside the door. “Guards were there in front of the buildings, on the street,” Joseph Sima, then a junior, remembered of school that morning. By then, the only certainty seemed to be that thousands of Kent State students would be swept up-by intent, circumstance, or proximity-in a noon rally that the National Guard clearly had no intent of allowing. gathering with National Guard commanders, White and his brain trust left for an off-campus luncheon meeting. Then, shortly after the conclusion of a 10:00 a.m. meeting of his cabinet and an eight o’clock one with the executive committee of the faculty senate. Top administrators fretted over what was to come-President White had called a 7:00 a.m. Professors preached caution, or encouraged opposition to authority, or in some cases even tried to lead it. Monday morning, May 4, 1970, found Kent State a place strangely divided against itself: part university, part military installation a school where students were encouraged to gather in classrooms but prohibited from doing so on the campus Commons. Crown coral and pearl5/8/2023 AMoD is set in a fantasy world, and I know many Jewish authors choose to make up their own religions modeled on Judaism in their work, which was certainly an option for me. There’s a lot of weight to that word, and it’s one I’m proud to define myself by. This is also my first book with explicit Jewish representation. It’s the story of a princess and a grave robber meeting in the most unlikely of circumstances. Hello all! I’m so excited to be sharing my fifth book baby with you this spooky season!

The dark sorceress of “Sleeping Beauty” reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice. Here is a quick description and cover image of book Misrule (Malice Duology, #2) written by Heather Walter which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Misrule (Malice Duology, #2) by Heather Walter She took the life she was handed and made the best of it. Her strength and approach to her unrelenting series of disappointments and losses, is truly inspirational. Rachel is a character I will not forget anytime soon. However, my personal experience with this book was one of shock, sadness, and sympathy for those incarcerated after contracting leprosy.Īt the same time, this is also a story of resilience, faith, and hope. Since so many people have read this book, I don’t suppose anyone needs me to give them a recap of the plot. Still the whole scenario boggles my mind. It is worth noting, that as far I know, there are still a handful of people living in Moloka'i, and will be free to remain there the rest of their lives if they wish, as they may not feel comfortable leaving for various reasons, including the disfiguring aspects of leprosy. Naturally, since it has a basis in fact, I had to do a little research on it. I must confess, I knew next to nothing about this period in history. Now that I have read it, I understand the incredulity of my friends who couldn’t believe hadn't read it before now. So, here we are in 2019 and I am just now getting around to reading it.Īlthough, to be honest, it was the invitation to read the follow up to this book, that gave me the added incentive to work this one into my reading schedule. Over the years, this book has been recommended to me on more than one occasion, but I just never felt an urgent pull towards it. Brandon taylor real life5/8/2023 My experience of reading Real Life was like a crush, an obsession, a compulsion. Real Life is a novel of profound and lacerating power, a story that asks if it’s ever really possible to overcome our private wounds, and at what cost. But over the course of a late-summer weekend, a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with an ostensibly straight, white classmate, conspire to fracture his defenses while exposing long-hidden currents of hostility and desire within their community. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends-some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and queer, he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood. A novel of startling intimacy, violence, and mercy among friends in a Midwestern university town, from an electric new voice.Īlmost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. A spy among friends by ben macintyre5/8/2023 This rebrand is right on time for the new series A Spy Among Friends. (All of which will be returning for second seasons this year.) However, the platform is of particular interest to British TV fans, including a handful of popular original series such as Rogue Heroes, Domina,and Belgravia. Formerly known as EPIX, the streamer was acquired by Amazon last year and has since been rebranded to include a reference to its well-known library of film titles. Given the glut of entertainment companies and streamers that keep rebranding themselves with names that inevitably seem to include a plus sign at the end, you may not be all that familiar with MGM+ just yet. Minaret by leila aboulela5/8/2023 The different hybrid identities and efforts Najwa makes to come to terms with her developing Muslim identity is discussed, particularly through her and the women around her who choose to wear the veil and modest, rather than revealing, clothing. In Minaret, the protagonist, Najwa, experiences a sense of in-betweenness or liminality through crises, transitions, and resolutions of secular and religious lives. The conceptual framework of Victor Turner’s liminality and Homi Bhabha’s hybridity and the third space are applied in order to frame the analysis of this struggle and to show that the veil is a metaphor for the Arab woman’s positive and negative experiences. Leila Aboulela’s novel, Minaret (2005), provides authentic and rich content to explore the Muslim Arab woman’s struggle over creating a modern yet religiously traditional identity. |
