This season we’re looking at the first steps everyday people can take towards peace. And we’re kicking things off by zooming in to something direct and personal that people engage with every day: listening. How can “generous” listening contribute to peace, and what are practical ways to get started? In this episode, we explore concrete ways to have difficult conversations instead of violent reactions, and how our everyday interactions can ladder up to structural change. Naomi Boase is Tufts University’s inaugural Inclusive and Restorative Dialogues Program Director. She has provided DEI consultations and trainings in the US and abroad for over 10 years. The goal of these trainings is to increase a sense of belonging within communities and organizations. Find out more about Noami’s work here . Jonathan Tirrell is director of the Generous Listening and Dialogue Initiative at Tufts University.

S04 E08 - Nighat Dad on engaging with #metoo 1:05:17

1:05:17

The global conversation around sexual violence has created the space to engage on vital issues of justice, equality and fairness. The manifestations of the #metoo movement in Pakistan, such as Jami's allegations, often get entangled with other, concurrent but unrelated power dynamics. How do we engage with the issues? How do we fulfill our responsibility to protect? How do we avoid unfairness or libel? We asked the head of the Digital Rights Foundation, WEF Young Global Leader, and renowned activist Nighat Dad (pronounced Daad) for her help. This is the bilingual conversation that ensued.

After the Shaheen Chemist raid, Fasi and Mosharraf discuss other similar cases of service provision failures in Pakistan, and how the public response to such outrages only tackles our need for InstaGrat, or instant gratification. But shutting down drug stores or pharmacies, or penalizing private schools, or terminating restaurant licenses does not actually produce regulatory effectiveness. It only assuages the hunger for InstaGrat. That's why so many Real Outrages, manufacture only Fake Outcomes.…
