"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요In this episode, Dr Pragya Agarwal discusses the importance of talking to our children about race. Pragya also describes what she’s been up to recently - completing her book, ‘Sway - The Science of Unconscious Bias’, writing an article for Prospect magazine on the potential problems around race and the rise of Face Recognition Technology, writing another article for The Independent on the shocking training document which was written recently for the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and appearing on BBC’s Woman’s Hour show to discuss the topic of this episode! > You can find out more about ‘Sway’ and pre-prder your copy on Bloomsbury’s website here > You can listen to the Woman’s Hour interview here > You can read the Prospect Magazine article here > You can read the Independent article here Pragya believes that talking to our children about race, racism and racial inequality is hugely important - no matter what our own race. She disagrees with the idea of raising children to be ‘colour blind’ - it actually causes more problems than it solves. Saying that we are all the same is also unhelpful - we are not all the same but that doesn’t mean we can’t be equal - these are two different things. “Our children need to understand that no-one should be treated differently because of their skin colour or their racial category.” Every family needs to have an on-going dialogue about these issues and talk explicitly about them, regardless of the racial make-up of the family. Teachers, parents and educators want to protect our children from ‘ugliness’ - they feel that by talking about it they are highlighting it. Pragya describes the mistakes she thinks she made with her own daughter, how she could have handled these concepts and how she now tries to integrate these discussions every day. It’s very important to have a strong sense of racial heritage - again this should not be ignored and assumptions made around all of us being the same. Stereotyping of people based on where they come from is easy and dangerous. Not every person from the same ethnic origin has the same views or beliefs and this is another area we need to explicitly explore with our children. Essentialism or transductive reasoning leads to, for example, a supposed link between colour of skin and ability - all people who look the same have similar ability. This generalisation is not true and we need to tackle it from an early age. If we make certain topics around race taboo and avoid talking about them with our children, we are not preparing our children to counter any negative labelling or stereotyping they find themselves in life. Racism has also been linked to children’s mental and physical health and Pragya finishes her detailed and in-depth episode by explaining how we, as parents, can tackle the problems she has outlined.…

1 Male and Female Brains: Why you've had it wrong all along - OTB4 24:48

나중에 재생 나중에 재생 리스트 좋아요 좋아요In this episode, Dr Pragya Agarwal explores what neuroscience says about men's and women's brains, and how we've had it all wrong for so long. In this thoughtful episode, she brings about theories and research from cognitive psychology and neuroscience to introduce you to NEUROSEXISM and how brain science has been used to create and perpetuate the battle of the sexes. Pragya also introduces the concepts of biodeterminism and neuroplasticity to prove why it is so important to bring up our children in the most gender-neutral way possible. The very concept of a “male” and “female” brain is flawed. And, so it is time to think in a completely fresh way at what gender really means. This is a really deep dive into why we still do not see more women in STEM and why this might be something to do with how we have thought about nature and brains for so long. There are some reading recommendations for you and a code to join Pragya's Raising Equals: Feminist Parenting course The course starts on 3rd June and you can find more information and join it HERE with an exclusive code FEMPARENTS.…
This episode is all about what it means to be courageous and fearless. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, there's time to mention a question which was asked in the Facebook group - Join Pragya’s Raising Feminists Facebook Group . 'Should I call my daughter pretty?' Main topic: Courage and being Fearless It's common to want to hide things you are feeling fearful about. I hid my TEDx talk when it appeared - even from my family. However, I received emails praising my courage but I didn't feel like that myself. I didn't feel fearless. Admitting fears makes us vulnerable but it's a useful thing to do. I wonder if we only realise what we are capable of when we are most broken - when we are pushed to our limits. Our courage also comes from our deepest love and our passion. Through being a single mother and suffering very unexpected workplace bullying, I had to learn how to trust people again. What helped was going back and finding the core of what made me - I had to really dig deep and find out how I wanted to define myself. Also, creativity helped me enormously. It remains the best mindful technique I have discovered. This is not just artistic creativity but thinking outside the box as well. I used to think that asking for help was a sign of weakness but I realise now that asking for help is a courageous thing to do. ---------------------------------------------- Sign up for Pragya’s Raising Feminists Online Course using the discount code - FEMPARENTS…

This episode is about ‘Feminist Parenting’, which is constantly evolving in the current climate of rapid political and cultural change. We are now focussing on helping our children to move away from gender stereotypes and the ways in which we can re-define gender itself. Why do our youngest children want to dress up as gender-specific characters and how can we, as parents ensure that the messages we are giving to our children will support them to exercise their free will and make their own choices? When they reach their teenage years, there are additional challenges such as peer pressure, so how can we make sure we are giving our children the right modelling when we are also influenced by our own biases and our social and cultural conditioning? These are topics Pragya concentrates on in her new online course: Sign up for Pragya’s Raising Feminists Online Course using the discount code - FEMPARENT Pragya believes that what we see and hear in the media is only one type of people talking about feminism and parenting. We need more diverse stories. The voices are also often restricted to white, middle class viewpoints which cannot represent a proper range. Pragya’s own background has given her access to a variety of different views and opinions on gender and parenting and she feels she has been able to develop her own views. She learned a lot from her mother and the way she lived her life in India. Pragya realised: “Strength and feminism comes in different shapes and forms - there isn’t just one way to be a feminist.” A lot of the misogynist views she was aware of in her early life in India are, unfortunately still in evidence today, across the world and so it’s very important to help daughters to understand that they can transcend the traditional views of women. Pragya points out that she is learning every day, particularly from her own daughters, so do listen carefully right to the end of the episode for some remarkable insights and challenges.

This is an excerpt of my TEDx talk that I recently gave in India around International Women's Day 2019. Men benefit from patriarchy but they also suffer because of it. So, the power privilege that sexism affords to men, also traps them into narrow boxes and roles. This talk questions the model of masculinity and the narrow gender boxes that are imposed upon children, and how men are forced to conform to a certain notion of male ideal. The effect on their mental health is not often discussed and talked about. I run a Feminist Parenting group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/raisingfeminists/ And, my Feminist Parenting course is now open. Registration closes at the end of April.
