For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Armine Yalnizyan, the Canadian economist and writer who helped coin the term to discuss the she-cession and the broader impacts of economics crises on women.

For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gabriel Miller is joined by Crystal Fraser, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, to discuss Reconciliation as an everyday practice.
