    Marit Kleinert - "Women Cooperatives on Zanzibar: Transformative Spaces of Resistance through Care"

    For the first episode of this season, we are trying something new. Instead of an interview, this week we turn the feed over to another, Marit Kleinert, who takes us to Zanzibar in the first episode of her new show, Beyond Theory. It is a fantastic piece of audio documentary, merging music, field recording, interview, and (yes) a little bit of social science theory to explore the dynamic women's cooperative economic sector in the Zanzibar archipelago. Marit Kleinert is a Masters candidate in the program "Human Geography: Globalisation, Media and Culture" at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. This podcast was produced for a seminar in that program. Marit has a background in musicology and sound studies, as well as Southeast Asian studies, on which she draws in her podcast.

    The IOWC Research Assistants - Summer 2024 Research Roundup

    For the second annual Summer Research Roundup, Dr. Philip Gooding sits down with five research assistants employed here at the Indian Ocean World Centre, McGill University to explore and recognize the hard work they've put into their research over the last year. Nadia Fekih is entering her final year in Environmental Studies at McGill. She has been with the IOWC for nearly two years, with a paper (co-authored with Dr. Gooding) forthcoming in the Journal of Southern African Studies. Lilia Scudamore has just finished her BA and will begin an MA in History at McGill in the fall. She has two years of experience here at the IOWC and a particular interest in the history of infectious disease, the topic of her proposed MA project. Sienna Hsu is a Computer Science student here at McGill. Her technical expertise has made her an invaluable member of our team, and she has contributed to all aspects of data collection, analysis, and visualization on a number of projects. Sam Gleave Riemann joined the IOWC upon the completion of his MA in Classical Studies at McGill two years ago. He produces this podcast, helps organize events, contributes to research, and has recently stepped into a Project Manager role alongside Dr. Gooding. Hannah Sparwasser Soroka is a PhD candidate in History at McGill, entering her fourth year and specializing in Early Modern European intellectual history.
