  1. Nourishing Black scholarship, nurturing collective joy

    27 FEB

    Nourishing Black scholarship, nurturing collective joy

    Something remarkable happens when spaces are allowed to feel more human—when they are welcoming, grounded in care, and shaped with intention. When there’s time to sit together, perhaps good food on the table, and an openness that feels closer to being welcomed into someone’s home than arriving at an institution of learning. Across the country, centres for Black studies are emerging as spaces like these. They are places where Black scholarship is held with care, where history and leadership are approached through joy, and where intellectual life is nurtured rather than extracted. That spirit of joy comes to the Big Thinking Podcast this month. Andrew B. Campbell joins Karine Morin for a conversation about Black leadership through history, the power of building scholarly spaces that are expansive rather than extractive, and what becomes possible when we show up not just as participants, but as allies and co-conspirators in sustaining this work.

  2. As global tensions intensify, can Canada maintain its Women, Peace, and Security commitments?

    29 JAN

    As global tensions intensify, can Canada maintain its Women, Peace, and Security commitments?

    As global conflicts intensify, the federal government is being forced to make hard choices about security, defense spending, and values.  These choices raise a pressing question: can the country maintain its commitment to Women, Peace, and Security, also known as WPS, while adapting to a rapidly changing global defense landscape? In this episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, Karine Morin is joined by Stéfanie Von Hltaky, Canada Research Chair in Gender, Security, and the Armed Forces to unpack how WPS commitments collide, coexist, or transform within our national defense framework.

    Génération connectée : les jeunes face aux dilemmes éthiques du numérique

    Bienvenue au Congrès en conversation, une série spéciale présentée par le balado Voir Grand et La Conversation Canada, où nous invitons des intervenant.e.s clés du Congrès 2025 à partager leurs recherches et leurs expériences dans le contexte de notre thème Redessinons le vivre-ensemble. Dans cet épisode, notre hôte Martine Turenne, Rédactrice en chef de La Conversation Canada, est rejointe par la Professeure Megan Cotnam-Kappel. Ensemble, elles abordent le projet VRAenligne, une initiative de la Professeur Cotnam-Kappel qui explore la citoyenneté éthique à l'ère du numérique, en particulier chez les jeunes francophones qui vivent en milieu minoritaire en Ontario et en Alberta. Au coeur de leur discussion, elles vont s'interroger sur le rôle des jeunes dans l'espace numérique et se poser la question : comment perçoivent-ils leur citoyenneté dans un monde digital?

    Wildfires: charting the path forward

    In this episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, we dive into the complex world of wildfire research in Canada. Wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense, and understanding their causes and effects is more important than ever. What is the science behind them? What is their connection to climate change? And what role does interdisciplinarity play in wildfire research?  Our host Karine Morin is joined by Dr. Mike Flannigan, BC Innovation Research Chair in Predictive Services, Emergency Management and Fire Science, and Dr. Shannon Wagner, Vice-President of Research at Thompson Rivers University to answer all of these questions.
