Handpicked: Stories from the Field


Presented by the Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, Handpicked: Stories from the Field is a podcast series that showcases research that drives positive change in our food systems—ways we produce, gather, eat, understand and dispose of our food. Produced and hosted by Amanda Di Battista and Laine Young, the series presents compelling, real-life stories of food practitioners, such as farmers, policymakers and activists. Episodes follow researchers and community partners in their efforts to make their food systems more economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.

Season 4: Episode 6 Handpicked Presents Voicing Change - Team Reflections on Podcasting for Social Change 

 

Featuring:  

In this episode of Handpicked: Stories from the Field, we present the last of this season featuring the Voicing Change podcast, in an episode called Team Reflections on Podcasting for Social Change in which the whole Voicing Change team got together (virtually!) to reflect on some of the lessons learned in the process of co-developing a methodology for transnational and interdisciplinary podcasting. Responding to the question “What does ‘voicing change’ mean to you in the context of being part of this academic Community of Practice?”, team members from Canada, Kenya and Brazil discuss a number of emerging lessons, including how we co-construct meaning, the conditions necessary to elicit- and truly hear- others voices, and thoughts on the opportunities- and challenges- of the podcast format as a way for academics to really value the voices and experiences of our interlocutors. Voicing change, it seems, is change itself.
