In a Nutshell | The Politics of Sport with Paul Reef

Does it matter whether Russian athletes compete at the Olympics? Why do transgender athletes ruffle so many feathers when it comes to sports competitions – even in disciplines like darts? And why do countries keep hosting mega-sporting events, even if they lead to massive financial losses? Sport is at the centre of many political debates. But why? In this week’s episode of In a Nutshell, Antonia talks to PhD candidate Paul Reef about mega-sporting events and the politics behind them. Including discussions about the upcoming Paris Olympics and why some of its security measures might be here to stay. Paul Reef is a PhD candidate in political and international history at the Faculty of Arts. He is researching the intersection between sport and politics, specifically public protests against the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup. In 2023, he was awarded the Hermesdorf Talent Award for his media appearances on sport politics and his role in the public debate on human rights and international sporting events.

The Politics of Theatre with Ruud van den Beuken | In a Nutshell

How political is theatre? What do plays have to do with Brexit? And how has theatre shaped (and commented on) political developments in the past? In this episode of In a Nutshell, Antonia and guest Ruud van den Beuken explore how political topics can be explored in theatre – and ask the question whether theatre is always the best way to address certain political issues, especially when it comes to class in Britain. Ruud van den Beuken is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Arts. His own theatre research has started with a course on Samuel Beckett and Irish theatre, which was also the topic of his PhD research. Amongst other things, Ruud is researching Brexit theatre, national identity formation (also through theatre) and postcolonial cultural memory. Would you like to learn more about the politics of theatre? Then follow Ruud’s advise and watch some theatre plays yourself. Including Sadettin Kirmiziyuz's Citzen K, available on the NPO streaming service. This episode is part of a two-part series on politics and theatre. Also tune in for the second episode, which explores AIDS theatre. Edit: Jara Majerus Cover: Antonia Leise

City Politics for Sustainable Cities

How do the ways in which cities engage in sustainability actions fit into a state's political scenario? Traditionally, cities have been positioned at the lowest hierarchical level in terms of power and authority within a state's political context. Nevertheless, nowadays many cities assert their capacity to solve many problems efficiently without depending on the national government. Plus, cities often require a quick, effective response to problems that require urgent solutions, such as climate change or food shortage. In the following video, professor Katrien Termeer will illustrate the huge potential of cities to act both effectively and democratically against climate change. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Design policies; governance arrangements and coordination structures for resilience planning and response addressing policy-making; public private partnerships and civic engagement. DURATION: 1 short video (~8 min long)

‘Stand in their shoes’. On in- and exclusion in Public spaces

Public space… The public does not exist. There are different publics, with different interests. Public spaces are contested. To understand this the concepts, we need to understand what is meant by concepts like: right to the city claiming space, gentrification, purification. The contested nature of Public spaces is not just a social thing. It is embedded in and reproduced by design, materiality. The politics of artefacts is a concept that helps us to understand that artefacts and designs can become a material medium for the politics of public space, for in- and exclusion.

Anatomy of a Humor Scandal with Ivo Nieuwenhuis | In a Nutshell

What makes a good political humour scandal? Why does what we find funny change over time? And what is the state of jokes today? In the final episode of In a Nutshell’s first season, we take a look at jokes, politics, and how the combination of both can (and has) lead to historic scandals. With the help of assistant professor and comedy critic Ivo Nieuwenhuis, we detangle modern humour – and look for an answer to the question of what the jokes that make the headlines (and that make us laugh) say about us. Ivo Nieuwenhuis is a researcher of Dutch literature with a strong interest in political humour scandals. Next to his work at the Faculty of Arts, Ivo also works as a comedy critic for the Dutch newspaper Trouw. Edit: Jara Majerus Cover: Antonia Leise
