The South African Research Chair in Science Communication produces and funds the independent podcast series The Academic Citizen since 2022.
The aims of the podcast are to:
- Create a space for wide and deep discussion about key issues animating higher education in South Africa, Africa, the global south and beyond.
- Create a space for interdisciplinary exchange for academic researchers and educators.
- Help researchers, educators and scientists to tell their stories, and listen to and learn from each other’s insights and experiences.
- Create a space for science (in all forms) to be communicated in order to serve social justice (broadly conceived).
A full list of the episodes can be found on our website or on major streaming platforms.
From 2023, we can be commissioned to create a podcast about your research project. If you’d like to explore making a podcast of your own to serve your research project, contact us with your proposal. Listen to our advert for more information.
