Discussion Series Introduction
Welcome to the CLSEW's podcast set of podcast series. Our series include both our 'Work, Learning & Social Change' series as well as our 'Thinking Social & Solidarity Economy' series. Featuring the work of both emerging and foundational researchers, each brings you the insights that are defining the field of study.
Thinking Social & Solidarity Economy Series: ‘Thinking Social Economy’ is an online series of presentations and discussions that brings you the people and the ideas that are defining how we understand more just and humane alternatives to social and economic life.
Work, Learning & Social Change Series: ‘Work, Learning & Social Change' is an online series of presentations and discussions that brings you the people and the ideas that are defining the field of critical studies of work and learning.
Below is the CLSEW 'Work, Learning & Social Change Discussion Series': A set of informal discussions with scholars from around the world in which both foundational and emerging researchers explain their approaches to studying work and learning.
This page has examples of podcasts that CLSEW hosts.
The podcast is available (in video format) and (in audio format).
