Today we start season 3 of Flux, a FreshEd series where graduate students turn their research interests into narrative based podcasts.

To kick things off, Ijaaz Jackaria’s episode is an ethnography of Mauritius and its colonial past, where he creates his own Southern epistemology by bringing together cosmology, philosophy, and Islamic theology.

Let Season 3 of FreshEd Flux begin.

Today we explore the digital transformation of and in education. My guest is Ben Williamson who argues that we are witnessing a new digital infrastructure being built beneath our feet.

The last time Ben joined FreshEd was in February 2020, just one month before the UK went into its first Covid-19 lockdown. When it comes to education and technology, a lot has changed in the past 4.5 years. Ben talks through some of those changes. Ben Williamson is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh.

Today we launch a new project at FreshEd called The Thinking Ear. The Thinking Ear is a collection of episodes produced by you, offering a sonic space to share ideas on education worldwide. Think of it as an audio journal.

If you’re interested in developing your own podcast episode about your research, please get in touch. The Thinking Ear is open for submissions. We will offer support to develop your idea into a podcast before airing it on the FreshEd platform. We think a space for anyone to contribute a podcast episode is important because sonic productions expand our understanding. Research is no longer confined to niche journal articles or shared in half-empty conference rooms. Podcasts encourage us to think both analytically and creatively about research and increase our public impact. We want to democratize podcast creation by offering our listeners opportunities to make their voices heard. So welcome to The Thinking Ear and I hope many of you will consider making your own episodes in the future.

To kick things off Jordan Corson tells a short story about a particular understanding of the idea of universal education, composed in the style of writer Jorge Luis Borges. Jordan Corson is an Assistant Professor of education at Stockton University.

Today we remember Debbie Epstein, who recently passed away. Debbie was a major figure in the field of education whose work brought together cultural studies and sociology. Ever an activist, Debbie made important and lasting contributions to how we think about anti-racism and sexuality and education. I’ve asked Debbie’s long-time friend and collaborator, Jane Kenway, to join me to talk Debbie. After Jane’s introduction, I’m going to replay my interview with Debbie from 2017. Please forgive the sound quality. FreshEd was less than two years old at the time and I was clearly still learning the technical ropes.

These questions focus on how guests approach writing, reading, research, and supervision. These are the day-to-day activities we do inside universities, but we don’t talk too much about them. I want to talk about them to highlight the many different approaches. I think these insights will be valuable to students, especially those that are about to start graduate school.
