Prompted by our youngest team member’s desire for shorter podcasts on her regular commute to and from LSE, Can You Hear Us? is proud to present So We Heard, a series of bite-sized, informal chats dedicated to exploring academic theories, case studies, and current affairs within international development through the lens of black, indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC). With episodes lasting 30 minutes or less, Can You Hear Us team members join assistant producer, Ragini Puri, on a quick deep-dive into what topic within development is peaking their
interest and why it matters.
On this episode, Ragini is joined by Renushi, a gender and international development professional. She is the founder of the Sthri project- a feminist peer-support network for first generation college graduates in suburban Colombo.
- How important are informal networks for first-generation salaried workers?
- Within this group, what are the particular issues faced by BIWOC?
- To what extent is social mobility based on merit?
We discuss this and a lot more in the final episode of So We Heard. Tune in to listen!
