was that racist dr evelyn carter

How do we combat racism in a world determined to tell us it doesn''t exist?To hold the line against racism, we need to know it when we see it. And as the dominant racial group in our society, White people must take up the charge. The problem, says researcher, DEI leader and organisational consultant, Dr. Evelyn Carter, is that White people haven''t been socialised to detect racial bias in the way people of colour do. Racism is more than using racial slurs or overt, hateful speech, and it''s more than unintentional slights; it''s about an entire system that upholds Whiteness as the preferred standard. Fortunately, detecting it is a skill that can be learned.The Bias Gap is a re-education, call to action and practical guide, full of research-backed strategies including how to: - cultivate a growth mindset about bias- unlearn colourblindness and practice colour consciousness- talk to kids about race and racism - and bring others along for the journey.At a time when DEI is under coordinated attack, The Bias Gap is the essential toolkit for anyone who believes we all have a role to play in creating a more equitable world.

As a clinical psychologist, Dr Nicole LePera found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy. Wanting more for her patients - and for herself - she began a journey to develop a united philosophy of mental, physical and spiritual health that equips people with the tools necessary to heal themselves. After experiencing the life-changing results herself, she began to share what she'd learned with others - and The Holistic Psychologist was born. Now Dr LePera is ready to share her much-requested protocol with the world. In How to Do the Work, she offers both a manifesto for self-healing and an essential guide to creating a more vibrant, authentic, and joyful life. Drawing on the latest research from both scientific research and healing modalities, Dr LePera helps us recognise how adverse experiences and trauma in childhood live with us, keeping us stuck engaging in patterns of codependency, emotional immaturity, and trauma bonds. Unless addressed, these self-sabotaging behaviours can quickly become cyclical, leaving people feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unwell. In How to Do the Work, Dr LePera offers readers the support and tools that will allow them to break free from destructive behaviours to reclaim and recreate their lives. Nothing short ...

‘…man is not truly one, but truly two.’In this powerful deconstruction of Calvinist belief and the hypocrisy at the heart of Victorian society, Stevenson creates a gothic icon in the divided self that is Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Born from a nightmare and anticipating Freud’s theory of the unconscious, Stevenson literalises the concepts of the supernatural doppelgänger and the split personality in a timeless tale of guilt, desire, and violence by which all subsequent ‘double’ stories must be judged. In seeking to cleanse his soul of sin, Dr Henry Jekyll instead unleashes a monster. First published in 1886, this tragic study of the duality of man established Stevenson’s international reputation as an author.This volume also contains Stevenson’s 1887 collection of short stories, The Merry Men and Other Tales and Fables, which includes a further exploration of the mind of a murderer, ‘Markheim’, and the occult tales of terror, ‘The Merry Men’, ‘Olalla’, and ‘Thrawn Janet’. Â

A geneticist tells the stories of men, women, and children whose genes have shaped their lives in unexpected ways. It was while listening to a colleague tell the parents of a newborn girl that their daughter was going to die that a lifelong interest in genetic medicine was sparked in Dr Edwin Kirk. Warmth and gentleness tempered a direct, sure manner — this was the medicine he wanted to practise, where the most advanced science and the most deeply human meet. Twenty-five years later, Dr Kirk works both with patients and in the lab, and he spearheads a campaign that will change the way we think about having babies. His experience is without parallel, but it is his humour and insight that make all the difference. Find out why Dr Kirk found himself among hundreds of people, each with a glass of poison in front of them — and how you might perform the same experiment yourself (without the poison). Learn how the realisation that a young boy wasn’t short ended up saving the life of his mother — and how Angelina Jolie has saved the lives of many more.

How can we make media anti-racist? The rise of the far right, the impacts of Covid-19, and the mediated evidence of racist police violence have challenged the dominant complacency that racism was a thing of the past. We are now witnessing the renewed anti-racist commitment of social movements and the rising authoritarianism that seeks to suppress it. Rather than making media ‘less racist’, how can media systems be transformed in ways that actively challenge the production of racism? What should an anti-racist media look like?  Saha, Sobande and Titley address these timely questions to outline the essential steps for working towards an anti-racist media future. Revealing how the media are implicated in racism, the authors consider how systems, policies and practices can be transformed to confront and prevent it. Focusing on the problems of impartiality, the limits of diversity and representation, and the contradictions of digital culture, this manifesto illuminates key strategies and suggestions to move us closer to an anti-racist media future for everyone.  Â

Audiokniha: Znal ji celý svět, ale své tajemství si málem odnesla do hrobu… Mladou začínající novinářku Monique Grantovou zaskočí nabídka stárnoucí hollywoodské hvězdy, stranící se už celé roky veřejnosti a médií, aby napsala její knižní biografii. V životní cestě Evelyn Hugo, která byla plná skandálů i úspěchů a jejímiž milníky se stalo vedle několika oscarových nominací především sedmero hereččiných manželství, se odráží nejen proměna americké továrny na sny, ale do jisté míry též dějiny ženské emancipace ve Spojených státech. Což je trochu paradox, protože ona sama je nejlepším příkladem toho, že některé věci se zkrátka nemění – ženy stále těží ze své krásy, šoubyznys je pořád plný falše a obyčejné lidi nepřestává fascinovat svět bohatých a mocných. Není divu, že barvitý příběh filmové divy vzbuzuje v Monique plno otázek. Jedna ji ovšem trápí víc než ostatní: Proč právě ona? Nejúspěšnější z řady bestsellerů, které úspěšné americké spisovatelce získaly miliony fanoušků po celém světě. „Evelyn Hugo je okouzlující ikona, kterou budete obdivovat, ale také nezdolná bojovnice, jakou byste chtěli být.

Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh''s stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War.The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh''s novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder''s infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). In 1939 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia. In 1942 he published Put Out More Flags and then in 1945 Brideshead Revisited. Men ... Unknown localization key: "more"
