Introducing Dr Emily Beausoleil
In today’s episode, Dr Emily Beausoleil asks a fundamental question:
How do we make it easier for people in advantaged positions to listen effectively?
Because let's face it. In today's society, listening is the poor cousin to talking. We face immense challenges in building the capacity for better listening in our institutions, our online spaces and our everyday interactions.
Emily's work explores the conditions, challenges, and possibilities of democratic engagement in diverse societies.
Born and raised in Canada, Emily is aware of her own privilege and curious about her place in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In this epsiode, we explore listening in Aotearoa's context - how can we learn from, and listen to, our tangata, our people, when engaging with different organisations? How can we make sure we have an awareness of their history, culture, structure and location - all in hopes of deeper understanding?
In today's episode you'll learn:
What research tells us about how to enable (or disable) good listening
How can we listen more intentionally, in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding.
How to navigate your own privilege (or challenge) in different contexts.
