JUST THREE: Noni Carter
<p>In our ninth episode, and the final episode of season one of the Just Three podcast, host Catherine LaSota is in conversation with writer, scholar, and educator Noni Carter. Noni was a graduate coordinator for the Transnational Black Feminisms working group at the Center for the Study of Social Difference in 2019-20.</p> <p>Noni discusses her life in academic work, questioning the formative language, and the definitions of "human" and "re-humanizing," that is deeply entrenched in various practices. She asks, how can we relate to the world, the environment, and more in different ways? She also talks about the narratives that are told around young black women of color, and her own goals as a writer of YA and speculative fiction. Noni also brings up the importance of intersectionality and celebrating each other's differences, and the importance of slowing down and asking ourselves, as individuals, which of our deeply held beliefs are socially constructed.</p> <p><a href="https://www.nonicarter.com/"><strong>Noni Carter</strong></a> is a historical and speculative fiction author. She has published work in RSA Journal, Kweli Journal (forthcoming), and is the author of the YA historical fiction novel, Good Fortune (Simon & Schuster, 2010), winner of the Parent’s Choice Gold award. She is a 2016 graduate of Voices of Our Nation and the recipient of the 2019 PEN/Phyllis Naylor Working Writer Fellowship for her work-in-progress novel Womb Talk. Noni is currently finishing a PhD in French and Francophone studies with a focus on memory, gender, and slavery in the literary traditions of the Black diaspora, specifically the French Caribbean. She works as an editorial assistant with Small Axe Journal and as rapporteur for Columbia’s Cultural Memory Seminar. She served as a 2018-2019 graduate fellow for the Institute for Research on Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and as the 2019-20 graduate assistant for CSSD working group Transnational Black Feminisms.</p> <p>More about Noni Carter: <a href="https://www.nonicarter.com/">https://www.nonicarter.com/</a><br> More about Columbia University's Cultural Memory Seminar: <a href="https://universityseminars.columbia.edu/seminars/cultural-memory/">https://universityseminars.columbia.edu/seminars/cultural-memory/</a><br> More about Small Axe Journal: <a href="http://smallaxe.net/">http://smallaxe.net/</a></p> <p>Learn more about the Transnational Black Feminisms working group here:<br> <a href="https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/projects-/transnational-black-feminisms">https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/projects-/transnational-black-feminisms</a></p> <p>Website of the Center for the Study of Social Difference: <a href="https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/</a></p> <p>Music in our podcasts is by Blue Dot Sessions, and episodes are mixed by Craig Eley.</p> <p>Catherine LaSota, host of the JUST THREE podcast, is Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Social Difference at Columbia University.</p>

JUST THREE: George Estreich
<p>In our seventh episode of the JUST THREE podcast, host Catherine LaSota talks with writer and musician George Estreich, who worked with Rachel Adams on the publication of Alison Piepmeier's book Unexpected: Parenting, Prenatal Testing, and Down Syndrome (NYU Press, February 2021), which was celebrated in a launch event hosted by the Motherhood & Technology working group at the Center for the Study of Social Difference.</p> <p>In this conversation, George talks about his experience as a parent and a writer, how writing and social justice intersect (as well as the limitations of writing), and the challenges we face in a society where the performance of intellect becomes a method of evaluating worth.</p> <p><a href="https://georgeestreich.com/">George Estreich</a>’s publications include a chapbook, Elegy for Dan Rabinowitz (Intertext, 1993) and a full-length poetry collection, Textbook Illustrations of the Human Body, which won the Gorsline Prize from Cloudbank Books (2003). The Shape of the Eye (SMU Press, 2011; Penguin, 2013), his memoir about raising a daughter with Down syndrome, received the 2012 Oregon Book Award in Creative Nonfiction. Estreich has published essays and articles in The New York Times, The Oregonian, Avidly, The American Medical Association Journal of Ethics, Salon, Tin House, and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency. His recent book Fables and Futures: Biotechnology, Disability, and the Stories we Tell Ourselves (MIT Press, 2019) was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award and was named a Best Science Book of 2019 by NPR's Science Friday. Fables and Futures explores the way we think and talk about human-directed biotechnology, from next-generation prenatal tests to CRISPR/Cas9, the genome-editing tool. Blending personal narrative and scholarship, Estreich argues that with biotech able to select and shape who we are, we need to imagine what it means to belong.</p> <p>Learn more about George Estreich and his work here:<br> <a href="https://georgeestreich.com/">https://georgeestreich.com/</a></p> <p>More about Alison Piepmeier's book Unexpected, including a link to purchase from NYU Press, can be found here:<br> <a href="https://nyupress.org/9781479879953/unexpected/">https://nyupress.org/9781479879953/unexpected/</a></p> <p>Learn more about the Motherhood & Technology working group here:<br> <a href="https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/projects-/motherhood-and-technology">https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/projects-/motherhood-and-technology</a></p> <p>Website of the Center for the Study of Social Difference: <a href="https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.socialdifference.columbia.edu/</a></p> <p>Music in our podcasts is by Blue Dot Sessions, and episodes are mixed by Craig Eley.</p> <p>Catherine LaSota, host of the JUST THREE podcast, is Executive Director of the Center for the Study of Social Difference at Columbia University.</p>
