Unsettled Realities: The Politics of Israel-Palestine with Marcelo Svirsky

Marcelo Svirsky, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Wollongong, discusses the Israel–Palestine conflict and the broader politics of the Middle East. Marcelo’s work explores power, violence, and resistance, drawing on both scholarly insight and lived perspective.

In this conversation we discuss the human impact of long-standing conflict, the forces shaping political narratives, and what it means to think ethically about politics. Rather than focusing on headlines, this episode offers context, reflection, and critical thinking for listeners who want to engage deeply with one of the world’s most complex issues.

A thoughtful discussion for anyone seeking to stay curious, informed, and connected to the world.

Stitching Stories 27 Today I’m talking to someone whose work has travelled far beyond the sewing room. Jenny Bowker is an internationally recognised Australian quilter, teacher and artist whose quilts have been exhibited and admired around the world. But what fascinates me about Jenny is not simply her extraordinary skill with fabric and thread. It’s the world that quilting creates around women. Quilting can look, at first glance, like a quiet domestic craft. Yet when you look more closely, it becomes something much more powerful — a way of preserving history, telling stories, expressing identity, building friendships and creating communities. And perhaps most interestingly, quilting has created an international network in which women teach one another, support one another and share stories across cultures and generations. That raises a much bigger question for me: Can something traditionally associated with women’s domestic lives actually become a powerful form of cultural expression — and even a way of challenging a male-dominated world?
