NBN Book of the Day - David Veevers, “The Origins of the British Empire in Asia, 1600–1750” (Cambridge UP, 2020)

This is an important, revisionist account of the origins of the British Empire in Asia in the early modern period. In The Origins of the British Empire in Asia, 1600-1750 (Cambridge University Press, 2020), David Veevers uncovers a hidden world of transcultural interactions between servants of the English East India Company and the Asian communities and states they came into contact with, revealing how it was this integration of Europeans into non-European economies, states and societies which was central to British imperial and commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise. As their servants skillfully adapted to this rich and complex environment, the East India Company became enfranchised by the eighteenth century with a breadth of privileges and rights – from governing sprawling metropolises to trading customs-free. In emphasizing the Asian genesis of the British Empire, this book sheds new light on the foreign frameworks of power which fueled the expansion of Global Britain in the early modern world.

David Veevers is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. He has published articles in the Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History and the Journal of Global History, and won the Royal Historical Society's Alexander Prize in 2014. He is co-editor of The Corporation as a Protagonist in Global History, c.1550 to 1750 (2018).

Samee Siddiqui is a PhD Candidate at the Department of History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His dissertation explores discussions relating to religion, race, and empire between South Asian and Japanese figures in Tokyo from 1905 until 1945. You can find him on twitter @ssiddiqui83

Security Unlocked - Talking Security With Non-Security Professionals

Every occupation has its unique jargon that allows professionals to speak their own language and understand each other’s shorthand.  Those of us in the world of cybersecurity are no exception as we frequently toss around acronyms and abbreviations, but how can we cybersecurity professionals communicate all of this crucial ingrained knowledge to people who haven’t the faintest idea about technology, security, or what our conversational shorthand even means?  

In this episode of Security Unlocked, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla speak with Microsoft’s Chief Security Advisor, Sarah Armstrong-Smith, about the most effective ways to communicate high-level security topics with non-security professionals. In order to create a more secure world, it’s paramount that the non-tech savvy are equally informed and protected, and Sarah has some excellent tips in achieving that goal. 

 

In This Episode You Will Learn: 

  • How important it is to define ‘risk’  
  • Why it's a mistake to think of cyber protections as a necessary evil in a corporation
  • The value of introducing topics by asking questions rather than lecturing 

 

Some Questions We Ask: 

  • Who should be driving security conversations in an organization? 
  • How should we introduce cybersecurity concepts non-cybersecurity professionals? 
  • What are some tips for complex organizations introducing their teams to cybersecurity concepts?

What A Day - Recollections Of An Insurrection

The CDC said yesterday that fully vaccinated people should wear masks in indoor public settings in counties where the transmission rate is "substantial" or "high," after new evidence showed that a vaccinated person could transmit the Delta variant of COVID to others. President Biden may also begin requiring federal employees and contractors to be vaccinated or face regular testing.

Four U.S. Capitol police officers testified to a House committee about the violence, racial attacks, and fear for their lives they experienced during the January 6th insurrection. The House panel into the riot will likely hold its next hearing before the end of Congress’s August recess.

Plus, one of What A Day's new co-hosts Priyanka Aribindi joins us for headlines: airports face jet fuel shortages, Simone Biles pulls out of an Olympic event, and the U.S. government sells a rare album once owned by Martin Shkreli.

The Daily Signal - Kayleigh McEnany’s ‘Faith Journey’ From White House Intern to Trump’s Press Secretary —

What would it be like to go from being an intern at the White House to being White House press secretary?


Kayleigh McEnany, the fourth and final press secretary to President Donald Trump, experienced that unlikely journey. She joins me today on "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss that passage as well as her forthcoming book "For Such a Time as This: My Faith Journey Through the White House and Beyond.”


"It was surreal," McEnany says of working for the president.


"My first time in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room was as an intern for [President George W.] Bush, as you noted," she says. "Dana Perino was the press secretary, so I watched her go back and forth with the Fox correspondent, ended up interning at Fox, and [then] doing several internships."


"But then, about 10 years later, I was standing at the podium myself, which was surreal, amazing. And I know it was only made possible because Christ had that path for my life even when I couldn't see it."


We also cover these stories on the podcast:

  • A House select committee holds its first hearing looking into the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. The panel includes seven Democrats but only two Republicans—Reps. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming. 
  • President Joe Biden releases a 21-point immigration-reform plan as the crisis at the southern border intensifies.
  • Biden meets with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., to discuss how to move forward the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
