Notas del episodio

In this episode, we welcome Dr Madeleine Le Bourdon, Associate Professor in Political Pedagogy at the University of Leeds, who reflects on positionality and reflexivity in research, and on discomfort as a productive space for unlearning and challenging power. She discusses the value of creating "courageous spaces" in the classroom and finding everyday "pockets of disruption" that open up conversations about social justice.
