  • Summary

  • Indaba is a global podcast that brings together scholars, practitioners, and activists as we re-imagine and reconstruct how we relate to and live in the world.

    Rooted in a Critical Community psychology, an interdisciplinary social science driven by social justice and decolonial values, we explore methodological, theoretical, and practical knowledge that informs our social change practice. Indaba is a South African Indigenous term for a meeting and through this show we foster a coming together to share and engage with ideas with a collective of voices from around the world.

    Curated into five pairs of episodes exploring our everyday praxis, each beginning with a contextually grounded storytelling episode followed by a critical reflection dialogue with members of our global collective including South Africa, Indonesia, Chile, Australia, Palestine, and Canada.

    The show is created by a global network of supporters including faculty partners Natalie Kivell, Christopher Sonn, Marianne Daher Gray, Monica Madyaningrum, Garth Stevens, and Manuel Riemer and a Grad student collective including Ramy Barhouche, Rejane Williams, Marika Handfield, Rama Agung-Igusti, Roshani Jayawardana, Antonia Rosati, María José Campero, Elizabeth Brunet, and Sam Keast with audio production by Andre Goulet and Rob Rousseau with consultation from Nashwa Khan and graphic art by melisse Watson.

The participants stress the continuity of relationships beyond specific projects and the significance of building genuine friendships and connections within communities.The discussion further focuses on grounding research in one's own community and the value of lived experience in knowledge creation, even as navigating the researcher-community relationship and maintaining authenticity and vulnerability during research are key challenges.
