  • 81 - 16. Social Ontology, Power, and Modernity: Empowerment as a Theory of Transformative Change

    This episode of Changemaker Q&A is an exciting one- I'm finally ready to share my explanatory framework of empowerment from my doctoral research! After presenting the framework at an international conference (I'll share the paper here when it's published), I wanted to share the philosophy/theoretical underpinnings of the framework for anyone who is interested in how/why my research took me in tis direction first. It might seem like women's empowerment is something that is well-researched, but since empowerment emerged in the development field in the 1970s, it has become somewhat of a buzzword, and we often assume that any efforts that promote gender equality will automatically empower women – but the two are fundamentally different.

  • 80 - 15. Redefining Manifestation as Social Change: Bridging Spirituality and Science

    In this thought-provoking episode, we unravel the profound connection between spirituality and science to challenge traditional notions of manifestation, stripping away the new-age veneer to explore its philosophical roots. Drawing inspiration from gravity and scientific laws, we delve into the nuanced process of intentionally manifesting social change. Discover how positive thinking, visionary practices, and intentional actions converge to create the necessary conditions for transformative impact. As social changemakers, we explore the broad spectrum of beliefs that align with our understanding of manifestation, emphasising its applicability to diverse perspectives.

  • 79 - 14. Navigating the Complexity of Reality: Subjective and Objective Knowledge in Research and Social Change

    “How can you do a PhD on a topic soooo subjective… as an Industrial Hygienist have to read so many scientific articles from research and a lot are so inconclusive basically *use at your own risk, *needs more research, etc. can't imagine research about a word like empowerment.”

    This is a common question I get asked as a social researcher, which opens the door to a broader discussion about the often overlooked philosophical foundations of research and the need to embrace both the subjective and objective aspects of knowledge, and avoid many of the dualisms we see in contemporary Western thinking.

  • 78 - 13. Creating Mindful Social Movements for Transformative Social Change

    In the realm of social justice, our pursuit for change often navigates through various channels, methodologies, and practices. Amidst this landscape, the integration of mindfulness emerges as a pivotal tool, offering not just personal development but a transformative force within social movements. Traditionally focused on individual well-being, mindfulness extends its impact to the collective when embedded within the tapestry of social justice and change. This paradigm shift renders mindfulness a potent instrument at both individual and collective levels, and it’s the topic of this week’s podcast episode.

  • 77 - 12. Observation and Interaction: How permaculture principles can elevate our social change efforts

    Beyond just gardening or sustainable living, the integration of permaculture design principles can offer us a surprisingly useful framework for social change. The first of these principles is Observation and Interaction, which like other permaculture principles transcends the agricultural context, offering invaluable insights and methodologies applicable to social change endeavours guided by design and systems thinking. In this episode, I explored the permaculture principle Observe and Interact through a systems and design thinking lens for changemakers, and in subsequent episodes each month throughout 2024 we will explore the other 11 permaculture principles.
