EduKATE

Understanding the importance of conservation. A lesson taught by Peter Meyer, the Author and Director of The Boy From The Wild - available on Apple TV in 2021..

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 07:00:34 GMT

This week on EduKATE, I learn about wildlife conservation. I am joined Peter Meyer, who is an author and director of The Boy From The Wild. This tale started its legacy as an international bestselling book and was then adapted into a beautiful documentary, which will be available to stream on Apple TV this year. The story highlights the cultural and natural histories of South-African conservation and educates people about the importance of respecting wildlife.

In this episode of EduKATE, we discuss conservation, the importance of respecting animals (even if they're scary SSSssssnnakes... 👀), the transferrable lessons that humanity can learn from wild animals and (ofc) Tiger King.

38 mins - a perfect lunch-time listen if I may say so myself...

How do we dismantle rape culture in education? A practical and reflective lesson taught by activist Zan Moon

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 07:00:37 GMT

This week I am joined by the brilliant activist Zan Moon. Zan runs ‘defend her’, which is a campaign to end violence against women by sharing knowledge on self-defence and the campaign strives for legislative change within the school curriculum. Zan also runs ‘screengrabthem’, which is a movement that tackles rape culture in education - exposing online harassment, misogyny, coercion through picture evidence & tagging schools. In today’s lesson, we learn all about Zan’s journey so far into the murky waters of activism, discuss some of the key terms that uphold sexist ideologies in society, as well as talk in detail about how to advocate for practical and tangible change in both governmental and school policy.

International Women's Day Special - Carolyn Mercer, an LGBTQIA+ advocate and Stonewall ambassador, leads today's lesson

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 08:00:15 GMT

This episode of EduKATE contains references to violence and suicide, which some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of EduKATE, which falls on International Women's Day, I am joined by the incredible Carolyn Mercer. This was one of the most important and enlightening conversations I’ve ever had. Being born in 1947, the word was a rather different one to where we’re at today in 2021- the word ‘transgender’ would not yet be coined until 1971, and ‘trans’ not until 1996.

We start chronologically, at age three, where Carolyn tells me that this is when she first remembers experiencing gender dysphoria. At age 17, she talks about undergoing the horrific practice of electro conversion therapy. I find out that in her adult life working as a headteacher, Carolyn was outed by the press, on more than one occasion. We then talk about the brilliant work that @stonewalluk do, and the absolute necessity for the UK govt to make all forms of conversion therapy illegal, as well as practical steps to improve gender equality in UK education systems... aaaaaannnddddd of course, what it means to be a woman.

I grew up during the tech boom and it's time to reflect on the technology that has shaped us

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 06:00:13 GMT

In this weeks episode of EduKATE, I take a trip down memory lane, tracking the last 24 years of major tech and social advancements in my lifetime and talk about about the types of technology that have shaped me into who I am today. From the early days of the Nintendo DS chatrooms, navigating the confusing social worlds of Bebo --> Facebook --> Instagram --> TikTok, there's a lot to reflect upon, in such a comparably small amount of time. A LOT HAS HAPPENED, AND IT'S HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY - WOAH. This is a playful episode with scatterings of retrospective observational reflections, musing over the addictiveness and utter reliance we all now have with technology today. Do we really have agency over our own lives here when such big tech is involved in all aspects of our lifestyles?!

A meningitis survival story and discussing the concept of health - feat. Bronte Smith

Sun, 15 Mar 2020 09:00:22 GMT

Back in November, Bronte and I recorded my first ever episode of EduKATE, and we couldn't have predicted that our conversation back then is more relevant now than ever. In a world where our physical (and mental) health is being discussed globally, Bronte and I discuss what it means to have your health taken away from you and the lasting implications that meningitis has had on her body. I learn about Bronte's story of contracting the disease and how she dealt with the gruelling process. We discuss how people take their health for granted, the importance of hand washing, and how people think and talk about chronic illness.
