Federation launches new Big Thinking Podcast
The Federation is thrilled to be launching the Big Thinking Podcast, a new show that features leading researchers in the humanities and social sciences in conversation about the most important and interesting issues of our time.
For decades, our Big Thinking talks on Parliament Hill and at the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences have challenged and inspired scholars, students, policy makers and community members. But when COVID-19 forced us to move the series online in 2020, we embraced the opportunity to engage our community in a new way. That's how the Big Thinking Podcast was born.
Our first series will include six episodes, each featuring researchers in conversation with Federation President and CEO Gabriel Miller about their work on language, race, decolonization, the post-pandemic classroom, and much more.
Episode 1: "Are pandemic times really unprecedented?"
For our first episode, we're excited to welcome Madeleine Mant, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto, in trying to answer the question "Are pandemic times really unprecedented?"
Follow us for more episodes!
