  • Pluriversal Politics

    Informative and transformative. There is so much here to explore and think about.

    The latest series on “The Crucible of Modernity” explores the reimagining of our lives and communities; necessary in a world of climate change and the persistence of colonialism. These are conversations of indigenous and colonised people to which those of us in the colonising must listen and learn from.

  • Learning so much

    I’ve just discovered this - and am starting at the beginning. It’s so interesting listening to the earlier podcasts on critical race theory in the context of what’s happening in the US and UK now. I love the curiosity, rage and swearing - makes it fun to listen to and I’m learning so much. Thank you.

  • New podcast discovery

    Discovered Surviving Society through the New Circuits of Anti-Racism Conference. Another valuable resource to support critical analysis of contemporary intersecting crises, and to offer a means of solidarity to anyone wanting to fight those crises.

  • An amazingly generous podcast

    This is a truly wonderful podcast; simultaneously democratising access to complex but extremely important ideas as well as enabling awareness of current activist projects, and perhaps most powerfully showing how academic thinking can and must be embedded in serious activism as a means to realising an inclusive and generative Left.
