    What typically precedes genocide and why we should pay attention with Dr. Adam Jones

    For our 6th episode we bring you author, scholar, and genocide historian Dr. Adam Jones. In the show, we discuss what has typically preceded genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity—and why we should all be paying attention to the stark political rhetoric we see today.  We also discuss Dr. Jones' upcoming 4th edition of his bestselling book, Genocide, a Comprehensive Introduction, and why he's adding two new cases to the already heavy volume. We chat further about his critique of Noam Chomsky's take on genocide, why it's a civic duty to criticize our own government's foreign policy, and much more. The conflict historian and photographer currently teaches at The University of British Columbia within their Okanagan campus and will be a visiting professor at UCLA this fall.  Find his work online here: https://epp.ok.ubc.ca/about/contact/adam-jones/

    Dr. Shimi Kang

    This week, we speak with author, public speaker, Harvard-trained addictions specialist, medical doctor, and behavioural science expert, Dr. Shimi Kang. In the episode, Dr. Kang tells host Tracy Giesz-Ramsay about her latest book, The Tech Solution, where she advocates that children are taught to be more mindful of their social media and device use (favouring connection with friends over mindless scrolling). She also explains the neuroscience behind habit formation (What does dopamine actually do?) and how, even though we know what we all need to be happier and healthier (read: community, outdoor play, healthy food, and breath awareness) we can implement these as daily habits in our lives. Dr. Kang graduated with Distinction and Honors in Research from Medical School at the University of Alberta. She later gained frontline experience as a primary care physician while working in Vancouver as well as at a charitable hospital in rural India. She trained in psychiatry at the University of British Columbia and completed a Clinical Research Fellowship at the Addiction Research Program, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard University in Boston. Dr. Kang also examined global health issues at the World Health Organization, in Geneva, Switzerland. Her list of accomplishments is endless (see drshimikang.com/bio!) and we are beyond grateful to bring her words to you!

    In today's episode, we speak with Miriam Kemi Havelin, a professional researcher, strategist, and designer. Havelin is currently completing her master's degree at OCAD University in Toronto, Canada, focusing on strategic foresight and innovation. Her work explores the difference between disinformation and misinformation online.  During our conversation, we speak about why people fall prey to conspiracy theories and the social and economic power of deception. We talk about the difficulty in getting truth to people when so much information is available online, and why nuance and context rarely goes viral. We also talk about media and journalism in the digital age—and why AI isn’t a good tool to combat the issues we face in this technological age. For more, visit CaptureQueue.com

Michael explains what propelled him to launch his own brokerage, why the company's mandate of "work hard, stay humble" goes deeper than mere rhetoric, why he believes it's important to listen to more than one perspective before making decisions, and how he approaches challenges—whether a rejected proposal or interpersonal conflict.  For more, visit CaptureQueue.com or follow us on Facebook and Instagram @CaptureQueue

    Joel Bakan

    Joel Bakan is an author, filmmaker, and law professor at the University of British Columbia. His most recent book, The New Corporation, is the sequel to his 2003 title, The Corporation, which—during an era of anti-globalization protests and growing distrust of publicly-traded companies—spawned the highly influential film that same year: The Corporation. In the season finale of the Capture Queue podcast, Joel and Tracy discuss both his book and his recent documentary, The New Corporation, which he made alongside director Jennifer Abbott. Bakan explains why the duo believed a sequel was necessary all these years later, how Corporate Social Responsibility isn’t quite what it seems, and much, much more.  For photos and more details, visit capturequeue.com

    David Gunawan

    In today's episode, we speak with David Gunawan, owner of Ubuntu Canteen in Vancouver. As an award-winning chef, Gunawan helped transform Vancouver's culinary scene by bringing an ecological mindset to the forefront of fine dining. But today, he's more focused on community wellbeing than on impressing critics. He’s written about the state of the Anthropocene, he’s talked about how modern agriculture contributes to our warming climate, he’s discussed how reconnecting to the soil and our food systems can aid our mental health, and—at this stage in his career—he’s chosen to advocate for a new way of being: connecting with the inner self. In this episode, we discuss all these issues and more. You can follow us on Instagram at capturequeue or visit capturequeue.com for photos and more.
