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.
