Summary

In this very special episode, Chantelle and Tissot chat to Dr Priyamvada Gopal, English lecturer at the University of Cambridge and brilliant anti-racist activist. Between the three of us, we pull apart racism and representation in universities, colonialism and its collaborators and the abuse that comes with anti-racist activism. There might be a few swear words in there, but mainly it's an essential conversation that gives context to the struggles people of colour continue to face in UK higher education.

  • E115 The Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's Hour: Akwugo Emejulu

    01/12/2021

    ...: Women of colour resist: In the first edition of the Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's Hour for 2021, Akwugo provides some important analysis on women of colour's activism and resistance in UK, Europe & beyond. *The first direct action of Sisters Uncut was not during the Suffragettes UK red carpet premiere in 2015 - at this point Sisters had already engaged in at least four national actions. Surviving Society unreservedly apologises for this error during the episode. We continue to be very much inspired by the work of activists like Sisters Uncut and our ambition is to show true recognition of this integral organising.

  • E007 The Surviving Society Alternative to Woman's Hour

    01/24/2018

    This week Chantelle and Saskia launch the first Surviving Society Alternative to Woman’s Hour! Beginning with the comments made by Catherine Deneuve about the #metoo campaign, in this episode we challenge commentators who think experiences of sexual harassment and assault are up for debate and talk about why we should avoid silencing different experiences. We discuss the missing aspects of these conversations like ‘race’, class and trans issues, our own journeys with feminism, and why we need to have a more fluid understanding of what it means to be a woman in contemporary society. Expect the usual strong language, laughter and ranting throughout.

    Live play podcast of the Morrow Project 4.0 Universe RPG game system. We use a lot of house rules instead of the standard rules in order to make the game more interesting to anyone listening by moving it along faster. The team is awakened before their demise more than 150 years later than expected and team up with a previous surviving project member and a local big game hunter to survive in the world and possibly make it a better place. Equipped with the latest in scientific and military technology when they were frozen in 2018, they have a technological advantage over the few survivors of World War III and the fall of modern society, but is it enough to survive the harsh world that awaits them.

    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.
