    19. The Reparations Debate: Is it Time for Britain to Pay? w/ Rasheed Griffith

    Today's discussion with Inaya Folain Iman revolves around the question of whether Britain owes reparations for its historical role in slavery. Advocates argue that reparations can address historical injustices and contribute to global equity, while critics contend that determining responsibility and calculating reparations pose complex challenges. One such critic is today's guest, Rasheed Griffith. Rasheed is the Executive Director of the Caribbean Progress Studies Institute. He has previously worked in the finance industry in Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. Griffith studied Mandarin Chinese in Beijing and has written several pieces on the triangular relationship of the US-Caribbean-China for publications including The Diplomat and Lawfare. His policy research focuses on China’s geoeconomic and financial engagement with the Caribbean. Rasheed's blog on reparations can be accessed HERE. You can also watch the discussion on YouTube.

    18. Taking a Stand against Antisemitism

    Tackling the Rise of Antisemitism in the UK Why is it that in a culture that invests some ethnic identities with high moral value, that Jewish identity doesn’t seem to have a place within today’s hierarchy of identity politics? And why is a war over 3,000 miles away provoking such intense reactions among people in Britain who have little direct connection with, or often knowledge of, the Middle East? Don't Divide Us and The Equiano Project co-hosted a public event on 11th December 2023, featuring a panel of esteemed speakers and thinkers. The event focused on a crucial discussion about antisemitism and the factors contributing to its increase in the UK. Panellists: Stephen Pollard: Author and Editor at Large of the Jewish Chronicle. Prof Frank Furedi: Sociologist and Executive Director of the think-tank MCC Brussels. Khadija Khan: Journalist and writer, focusing on human rights, primarily women’s rights, as well as minorities and extremism. Daniel Ben-Ami: Author and journalist; his books include "Ferraris For All" (2010) Moderated by Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, Director of Don’t Divide Us You can also watch the event on YouTube.

    15. Why Human Beings Cling to Hatred - Chloe Valdary

    In this episode of Equianopod, we speak with Chloe Valdary, the visionary behind the Theory of Enchantment. Chloe's unique approach emerged as a response to the complex Israeli-Palestinian conflict and has evolved into a profound philosophy. She invites us to rethink our approaches to tackling hatred and injustice and emphasises the importance of treating people as human beings. Highlights from the conversation Theory of Enchantment focuses on treating people as human beings, and asserts that supremacist thinking stems from a coping mechanism to deal with pain. The theory emphasises the fundamental interconnectedness of humanity, encouraging individuals to root their interactions in love and compassion. Chloe distinguishes between responsibility and reactivity, highlighting the importance of conscious choice and response in the face of adversity and injustice. Chloe also critiques other DEI approaches that use condescending language and caricatures, arguing that they perpetuate insecurity and hinder genuine progress.
