In this episode of Interweaving, host John Collins talks with media scholar Bill Yousman (Sacred Heart University) about recent trends in disinformation in the age of COVID and mass school shootings. They discuss how claims of secret conspiracies, facilitated by social media algorithms, can manipulate even the most critical media analysts and deflect attention away from much-needed structural analysis of corporate and state power.

In this episode of Interweaving, host John Collins talks with religious studies scholar Damon Berry about Christian nationalism and its relevance to the war on Ukraine. They discuss how Christian nationalists in the US see the world through a lens of white nostalgia, where their views connect with Vladimir Putin’s agenda, and why it is politically necessary to look closely at these views even if we find them abhorrent.

Tune in to our newest Episode of the Interweaving Podcast, where host John Collins talks to Claudia Hoffmann from the University of Miami about how a critical understanding of race and xenophobia can help us understand public discourse surrounding Ukrainian refugees. Drawing on her experience in Germany, Hoffmann insists that European hypocrisy regarding migrants from different parts of the world can be overcome if we focus on the humanity of the migrants themselves rather than the polemical debates surrounding them.

In this episode of Interweaving, host John Collins talks with sociologist Mark Ayyash about how the war on Ukraine connects with the ongoing colonization of Palestine. Ayyash discusses how his experience as a Palestinian Canadian shapes his view of the Ukraine situation, the sudden liberal embrace of molotov cocktails and other methods of resisting military occupation, and the prevalence of racist and ethnocentric news coverage surrounding Ukraine.
