I'm Probably Wrong (About Everything)

Robert Grant

This podcast believes that a healthy dose of humility goes a long way. Asking questions is always better than guessing answers; there is a lot about life that we don't know. By listening to others, we just might learn something new. While I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I am not afraid to admit: I'm probably wrong about everything.

His primary game: teasing people into believing his percepts to be theoretical concepts." -Donald Theall, The Virtual Marshall McLuhan

    #111 Dr. Lewis Eliot: Slavery; Rebellion; and Racial Consciousness

    Dr. Lewis Eliot is a professor of History at the University of South Carolina. His research explores the intersection of anti-slavery and imperialism during the nineteenth century. Dr. Eliot's dissertation, Rebellion and Empire in Britain’s Atlantic World, 1807-1884, analyzes how enslaved uprisings and the British Empire’s response to them created a new strain of abolitionism. This new form of anti-slavery touted racial hierarchies and British authorities forced this ideology upon rivals in Europe, Latin America, and Africa in order to maintain white supremacy while the bonds of slavery loosened.    His research has been funded by the John Carter Brown Library, American Historical Association, Library Company of Philadelphia, Gilder Lehrman Institute, Walker Institute, and the University of South Carolina’s History Department, Graduate School, and Office of the Vice-President for Research. In the 2019-2020 academic year he was a Bridge Humanities Corps Fellow.    He is the author of several articles including, “We Don’t Recognize Your Freedom: Slavery, Imperialism, and Statelessness in the Nineteenth Century Atlantic World” recently published in Atlantic Studies and "Exultations, Agonies, and Love: The Romantics and the Haitian Revolution". In this episode we explore how racism as it is experienced today has been constantly developing for the past 400 years and is a direct product of colonialism and imperialism. We explore how the Haitian Revolution affected the very nature of abolitionism in Western thought, ultimately instilling the race-based white supremacy that continues to this day.   You can check out the latter article here: https://activisthistory.com/2017/07/07/exultations-agonies-and-love-the-romantics-and-the-haitian-revolution/  #haitianrevolution #history #haiti

    #105: Simon Prentis - The Evolution of Communication

    Simon Prentis is an experienced interpreter, translator and author. Simon joins us to talk about the history and evolution of language and how it has impacted our development as a species. Prentis argues that speech and language is often overlooked in academic and popular evolutionary studies. Examples such as Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens or Sir David Attenborough’s Life on Earth seem to sweep over the evolutionary impact of human communication.  Simon has spent his professional life working with different cultures and languages in over fifty countries. Much of his work has been with broadcast media, mainly for Japan, but he has also worked extensively on projects with musicians, fashion designers, film directors, dancers, architects, and much more. Prentis is a fully-qualified member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting since 1990, has translated four books and hundreds of technical documents over the years, has given testimony as an expert witness in high-profile intellectual property and patent disputes. Prentis has also written about translation and interpreting for professional journals, and taught and presented papers of these subjects at educational institutions and international conferences.  Drawing on his wide experience with language and other cultures, Prentis has now written a book which explores the origins of language and its consequences for human history: SPEECH! How Language Made Us Human is available now on Amazon.    You can check out his YouTube short video here explaining the significance of human language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKdRlt6YL30  You can check out his book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B096DRBHPH/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0  #language #communication #evolution #civilization
