Welcome to Empowered Belonging, a newsletter about how we can build societies which empower individuals to live fulfilling lives. For millennia, people have yearned for fulfillment. Not for wealth or acclaim, nor power or fame. Instead, they have yearned for far simpler things. I believe that fundamentally, people yearn simply to belong to a community of people that empowers them to go their own way in life. This is all, and it means something very important. Our desires are not insatiable; fulfilment is possible. How do we get there?

Racism in British society and Higher Education with Dr Nicole Rollock (Oxford PPE Society, released 29 Sept 2020)
<p>"For the listeners out there, this is a call to action.</p> <p>If you are going to a university and there are things that you see around you that are not happening in the way that you think they should be happening, ask those questions.</p> <p>Ask those questions. Because if we don't ask those questions, the status quo will remain, and that's for sure."</p> <p>The murder of George Floyd on May 25th 2020 prompted a global reckoning as individuals and organisations looked inwards and outwards to understand their impact in sustaining racism in their societies. The Oxford PPE Society has a role to play in exposing racism in all its forms, to all it can reach.</p> <p>We are proud to be working alongside Onyx Magazine, a creative publication that features poetry, short stories, artwork, and fresh think pieces. Kaeshelle Rianne, History and Politics Editor at Onyx, is our guest host, and she is in discussion with Dr Nicola Rollock, an academic, consultant, and public speaker who specialises in racial justice in education and the workplace. In the episode, we begin by discussing the impact of racism in higher education, and go on to discuss how she is boosting the representation of black women in the sector and how accessible it is to them. We also discuss the summer's outpouring of support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and its impact on society more broadly, as well as the black people who are inside the issue themselves.</p> <p>Dr Rollock is Specialist Adviser to the Home Affairs Select Committee's 'Macpherson 21 Years On' inquiry is the lead author of 'The Colour of Class: the educational strategies of the Black middle classes', which won second prize in the 2016 Society for Educational Studies’ Annual Book Awards. Her first sole authored book The Racial Code will be published by Allen Lane in 2021. In 2019, Dr Rollock was selected by Times Higher Education journalists as one of 11 scholars globally to have influenced the debate in higher education.</p> <p>She is currently curator of 'Phenomenal Women: portraits of UK Black female professors' which will go on show on the Southbank Centre's Queen's Walk from October 10th.</p>

The Future of Journalism with Diane Francis and Lois Heslop (Oxford PPE Society, released 19 June 2020)
<p>"In my 50 years observing leaders, he is the best communicator. He has the messaging power of a tabloid editor, he is so good at this.<br> <br> I force myself to watch his rallies: he's riveting — unfortunately! Because behind it, is a sociopath; he's the accidental president."<br> <br> Diane Francis is a journalist, political commentator, and Editor-at-Large at The National Post, one of Canada's largest broadsheet newspapers. She writes about technology, finance, and current affairs, and in the podcast we discuss whether print media can survive, how digital journalism can thrive, journalism in politics and tackling fake news, plus her take on dealing with coronavirus.<br> <br> Diane writes for periodicals around the world and speaks at conferences about business, tech, geopolitics, and white collar crime. Her column at The National Post appears twice a week, and Diane is also a regular contributor at the Huffington Post. In 1991, she became Editor of Canada’s Financial Post, the first female editor of a national daily newspaper in Canada, a position she held until the paper was sold in 1998. She is the author of ten books, including 'Merger of the Century: Why Canada and America Should Become One Country' and 'Immigration: The Economic Case'.<br> <br> Diane is a Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC, a Distinguished Professor at Ryerson University, and also sits on the boards of the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative and the Canada-US Law Institute. She was also previously a Visiting Professor at Harvard University's Shorenstein Center.<br> <br> This episode will be guest hosted by The Oxford Blue, Oxford's first new newspaper for 30 years.

Modern Britain and the Labour Party, with Frank Field and Connie Bostock (Oxford PPE Society, released 12 June 2020)
<p>"The Labour Party could have gone to town and given me legal costs which would bankrupt me, so I accepted being thrown out the party."<br> <br> Frank Field served as the Labour MP for Birkenhead for 40 years, first entering Parliament when Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister in 1979, and leaving it in 2019 following his resignation of the party whip a year earlier.<br> <br> In this short 23-minute episode we discuss some of the challenges facing Britain in 2020. In particular, we discuss the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter. Recorded in-between the removal of statues commemorating slave traders, we also touch on how we should discuss this crucial, delicate issue. Further, Frank opens the lid on his experiences in the Labour Party, including the circumstances in which he left, as well as how Keir Starmer can change its fortunes.<br> <br> Frank spent much of his time in Parliament working on welfare. He served for only a year under Tony Blair as the Minister of Welfare Reform, from 1997-98. Blair had said Frank's mission was to "think the unthinkable", and later wrote that "the problem was not so much that his thoughts were unthinkable as unfathomable." Frank went on to be one of the Labour Government's most vocal critics.<br> <br> In August 2018, he resigned the Labour whip, citing anti-semitism in the party, and a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation". Frank lost a confidence vote in his constituency party a month before his resignation, after siding with the government in Brexit votes.</p>
