Media

We use many types of media to provide a global opportunity for participation by all people, especially by those whose voices are not often heard.
Center for Religious Tolerance CC hosts the "Let's Talk About the Middle East" podcast.

URI Cooperation Circles spread their message of peace through a variety of media types to reach people all over the world by television, film, radio, print, social media, and more.

Examples of our work in this Action Area:

  • The URI Cambodia Regional Coordinator runs a radio show where curious callers can ask questions about other religions.
  • Think Peace Media and Communications, a URI Multiregion CC based in Texas, USA, uses interviews, photo contests, and other forums to "give voice to the voiceless and attention to the healing of the world."
  • Youth of Peace, Yemen, helps youth find their voice amidst a country torn by war, by training them in producing their own documentary films promoting tolerance, respect, and religious freedom.

I am writing today to give a tiny example of how Intersectionality can be challenged.

Twice a week, Global Spices brings you the culture of a country in an hour.

This is the basic idea of my radio show on WHYS 96.3 Eau Claire community radio, a progressive liberal 8 years old local station. Global Spices started with the beginning of the spring semester 2011, when I had to find myself an internship that could demonstrate and develop my skills in Media. I got to come up with an idea to propose for the station, nothing sounded better than diversity to spread awareness about.

I awoke this morning in the Gurudwara Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha in Birmingham eagerly anticipating a day that I had no idea would end with me sitting in front of a television in the Coventry home of my dear friend and colleague, Deepak Naik, watching the outpouring of jubilation in Egypt.
