このコンテンツについて

Militant Empathy is a long-form podcast, where each episode tries to grapple with one big issue, like: why do we think about sex the way that we do? What does "justice" mean? Where did borders come from? What the fuck is mental health anyway?

I pull on history, philosophy and general political science to shape each episode but the most important thing for me is always to make sure that somebody with absolutely zero subject matter expertise could still understand what I'm talking about. I truly believe that if you cannot explain something well to somebody who doesn't know your field, you do not know your field well enough yourself.

The podcast runs in seasons and each season I'll release one episode a month, with a short break between seasons. You can catch episodes on all major podcasting platforms and also YouTube xoxo

  • On Borders
    2025/07/05

    Ever wondered what specifically happens to a person who gets the bubonic plague? Do you know specifically how bubonic plague is relates to the first forms of border control? Do you want to know? If so, then this episode is for you!

    If not, how does it feel to be a mentally healthy person? In this episode I take listeners through the history of borders and border control, paying particular attention to the history of British migration policy. Expect discussion of the plague (obviously), eugenics theory, Westphalian peace accords, Windrush migration and the Hostile Environment.

  • On Mental Health: Covering Ariana Brandolini, Jonah Hill, Sigmund Freud and more...
    2025/06/07

    Ever stared blankly at the endless horizon and wondered “what the f*ck is ‘mental health’ anyway?”. Then this episode is for you!

    In this episode I take a look at modern discourses surrounding mental health, and dig down to the apparently endless calls to “protect our peace”. I touch on trends in the present like the so-called “corporatification of friendship”, and the ever present commodification of suffering, as well as explore the historical roots of psychiatry and its philosophical implications, with particular attention to the works of Michel Foucault.

  • On Strong Women
    2025/05/03

    In this episode I take a look at tropes surrounding "strong women". I explore where these tropes came from and what kinds of stories they can tell us, paying particular attention to black feminist thought from Sojourner Truth to bell hooks.

    In a perhaps uncharacteristically heartfelt episode, I ask for listeners to think about what implications these tropes have for different models of femininity.

    You can expect a healthy dose of imperial and medical history, psychology, and media studies. Given the subject matter this episode does explore some challenging themes including: medical misogyny, racism, slavery, genocide and sexual violence. As such, listener discretion is advised.
