No easy questions, but we are exploring them in this episode with three amazing women and invite you to join!

Rana Al Qawasmi is a Palestinian nutritionist and public health specialist, Lyla Adwan-Kamara is a Palestinian-Irish disability rights activist and leader, and Michaela Rafferty is an Irish youth worker and activist with a longstanding solidarity bond with Palestine.

The three of them will reflect on their experiences with solidarity both within Palestine and internationally, and what we can all do to strengthen our solidarity practice.

From local to international realities, from finding a moral compass to addressing fear, and from small scale action to systems change – this is an opportunity to learn and reflect in the face of massive injustice and bravery.

So grab a coffee or tea and listen in on the conversation!

New episode: Solidarity in times of autocratization

  As democracy and civic space are under attack in many places across the globe we explore what solidarity means when basic rights are quickly eroded - or maybe were never really there to begin with. In this final episode of the 'Let's talk about solidarity' series we dive into what solidarity can look like when autocrats and anti-rights groups gain power, and some groups are hit harder or earlier than others?  We have two amazing guests, Akshita Siddula, community organizer and leadership coach from Baltimore, US, and Rafael Barrio de Mendoza Zavallos, researcher and Cambridge Phd candidate from Lima, Peru.  What can we learn from what is happening in the US and Peru when it comes to who is affected and who is standing up? What does solidarity mean in a context of serious attacks on democracy and rights? How can we foster solidarity and what role can it play in defending rights and possibly reimagining democracy altogether? As many look at today's political...

New series out now: BRIDGING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE TO SAVE DEMOCRACY

How can academics and practitioners (better) collaborate in times of autocratization? What are obstacles and opportunities to bridge these worlds, especially now? Are there inspiring examples out there that we can learn from? To start with that last question: yes there are!  And you are hearing some of them in this new series of the People vs Inequality Podcast. Starting with someone who is particularly effective in bringing together knowledge and practice for real change. Liza Mรผgge is a political scientist at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands who was recently nominated for a prestigious gender equality price. She’s well known for groundbreaking research รกnd media impact in her field of gender and democracy. She calls on us to be brave and step into the unknown - because where else would you learn and make change happen? We talk about why collaboration is key, why more and more academics are stepping up, what it takes and what it can look like.  “I had...
