SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Please take this survey on podcasting in higher education: www.freshedpodcast.com/survey--In this Flux episode, Yardain Amron crafts a narrative that shows complex theories in action. He doesn’t simply tell his listeners what these ideas are or name them explicitly. He takes us to disparate places–from universities in India and Puerto Rico to Occupy Wall Street–and makes a connection between them by embedding stories within stories.Through this nested narrative, he shows us how the streets are schools by exploring spaces of activism as educative sites, while leading us to the core idea at the heart of this episode: the relationship between debt and violence.Yardain Amron is a freelance journalist and master’s student in Geography at the University of British Columbia.https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-amron/Credits:Today’s episode was created, written, produced, and edited by Yardain Amron. Johannah Fahey was the executive producer and Brett Lashua and Will Brehm were the producers.

FreshEd #249 - Education is not the Silver Bullet (Yardain Amron)

Today Yardain Amron joins me to talk about his FreshEd Flux episode, which aired last week. I recommend you listen to his Flux episode before listening to this interview. It’ll make a lot more sense!https://freshedpodcast.com/flux-amron/In our conversation today, we talk about his process of creating podcasts and telling stories. He says he dwells on contradictions that often go unnoticed. Yardain also talks about the connections and tensions between his approach to storytelling as a journalist and his approach to academics as a master’s student. He worked through some of these tensions developing his Flux episode, which brought together many different stories into a coherent narrative connected to theory. Yardain Amron is a freelance journalist and master’s student at the University of British Colombia.www.freshedpodcast.com/amron/--Get in touch!Twitter: @FreshEdpodcastFacebook: FreshEdEmail: info@freshedpodcast.comSupport FreshEd: www.freshedpodcast.com/donate
