A social scientist from Waterloo in Sydney has conversations with his friends about research, writing, and whatever else takes his fancy.
In this wide-ranging, wine-fuelled conversation, we talk about Arjun Appadurai's conception of research as a 'right', how our understanding of knowledge and research has been shaped by globalisation, and how local knowledge can help from organising our communities and councils, to combatting violent extremism. We discuss climate change as a case study of 'research produced' knowledge contesting opinion and rumour, and we also briefly talk about Raewyn Connell's Southern Theory, and the idea of Indigenous and traditional knowledge as an alternate epistemology. This conversation will conclude in episode 3.
