    #6 The Power of Listening and Education with Junior Soma

    Junior Soma from Made in Germany Podcast We had a deep and joyful talk with Junior Soma from Made in Germany Podcast. This episode can be summarized as the power of listening. Because the way he listens creates magic in this space! Why do we interview Junior Soma? Normally Education is associated with school or universities. But nowadays if we think of adult education or life learning--which can happen any time and anywhere, then education is also about personality development, maturation, broadening of horizons and overcoming prejudices. In this sense for me Made in Germany Podcast is an informal educational space at least for three reasons: First, Made in Germany Podcast gives space to people who don't have space to talk, who have unpopular ideas and biographies. This is already learning for most of the people in Germany who hear such voices for the first time. Secondly, people with similar biographies like the guest, see in them a role model--someone who has achieved something in the same conditions as they have grown up or live today, so they get empowered and motivated. And the space itself is a decolonized space where people are threatened with respect, kindness. Junior Soma’s understanding, eye level and empathy towards guests and listeners creates a pleasant atmosphere of giving and taking which is the way how we in education enable growth. This is a condition people need to flourish. I dont think someone who does not have an attitude like Junior’s could motivate guests in this way to share so authentically and to open up! Some topics we talked about: Who is Junior Soma Made in Germany Podcast and Education The Power of Listening Guests and the impact of Made in Germany Podcast

What led you to researching the particular topics of singing/voice; Dengbêjî; women and work of pain? How would you describe your own perspective on dengbeji culture in terms of your own belonging?  What ethical aspects matter to you when it comes to doing research on indigenous practices? Internal/external positions; gaze; objectivization problematic etc. Do you sometimes have inner conflicts/dilemmas/concerns when you do research on this topic? Are there other conflicting interests in the field you do your research at – between politics, art and research objectivity? How do you deal with critical voices towards what you do? What is the super-power of an external perspective towards a ‘cultural practice’? Would you say your interaction with the practice of Dengbêjîand the field research you have been doing have affected in some way the way you teach in a western academic institution?
