Research becomes legible here as a process shaped by methods, institutions, collaboration, and consequences beyond the university.
SSH: The Podcast lets researchers explain both their work and the institutions around it. Its academic interviews begin with plain questions about a guest's field, then move toward methods, public consequences, and the conditions under which scholarship gets made.

Press play if you want

- to think about Canadian refugee policy alongside Indigenous justice, with a researcher who connects the two
