- Episode 4: The Dark Web
Often described as an illicit cyber underworld where the worst possible criminals order hitmen and purchase illegal contraband, the dark web is a topic shrouded in mystery and fear which few people truly understand. This week we delve into the intricacies of the dark web, investigating both the malicious, more publicly reported on aspects, along with the surprisingly beneficial facets the general public rarely takes time to consider. We also explore the numerous measures government and non-governmental organizations alike are taking to combat the dark web while also considering where we must draw the line between protections regarding our security and privacy.

Femicide (the killing of women because they're women) has been on the rise in Turkey, reaching record levels this year. From outrage over the murder of 27-year-old Pınar Gültekin, to social media movements such as #ChallengeAccepted, this week we examine the various political, social, and cultural landscapes that affect women's rights in Turkey. We also take a look at feminism in various global and historical contexts, and what happens when social movements become echo chambers.

The question then arises: is it too good to be true? This week we delve into fast fashion and its detrimental effects on the environment and the welfare of its workers.

About Positionality
From the publisher's feed
To us, the word "positionality" is reflective of the social context that influences the issues we face every day. Each individual has a story to tell that shapes the way we understand the world we live in. With an increasingly divisive political & cultural landscape & a seemingly exhaustive news cycle, this realm can feel like a convoluted echo chamber. This podcast, hosted by Avani Ghosh & Diva Sony, aims to shed light on the unheard voices & stories around the world, expand our own perspectives, & find ways to bring about meaningful change.
