  • Rohingya Refugee Children and Their Future
    May 5 2024

    In this episode we delve into the lives of Rohingya refugee children, exploring their struggles, resilience, and the hopes they carry for a brighter future. The Rohingya crisis, one of the world's most dire humanitarian situations, has left countless families displaced and seeking refuge. As of September 2023, a total of 965,467 Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh have been officially registered and provided documentation through collaboration between the Government of Bangladesh and UNHCR. Notably, over half of the registered refugees (52%) are children.

    In an exclusive interview, Professor Mahbub Alam Prodip, who has worked closely with the Rohingya refugee children, speaks about the unimaginable challenges they face and how education serves as a potential lifeline to a brighter future.

    Guest : Mahbub Alam Prodip (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8340-6812), a Lecturer at Acknowledge Education in Australia and Associate Professor in Public Administration at the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, specializes in gender and politics, particularly in local-level politics in India and Bangladesh. A Ph.D. holder in Peace Studies from the University of New England, he is a prominent feminist scholar and a leading authority on refugee education in South Asia, with numerous publications and an edited book on the subject.

  • Finding Magic in the ordinary
    Mar 5 2024

    A creative mind isn't only limited to artistic expression or ground-breaking inventions. It's also an integral part of human thought. Whether we're solving problems at home or at work, creativity is always active. It's about seeing the potential for novelty and originality in the ordinary. Our guest today is Professor Pamela Burnard, from Cambridge University, who will share the enchanting world of creativity within the ordinary, and how to use it in the classroom.

    Pamela Burnard, Professor of Arts, Creativities, and Education at the University of Cambridge, is a prolific author with 20 books and over 100 articles, exploring multiple creativities in education. Co-editor of 'Thinking Skills and Creativity' journal, her recent works include 'Why Sciences and Arts Creativities Matter' and 'The Routledge Companion to Creativities in Music Education.' As a Fellow of RSA, Chartered College of Teaching, and ISSCI, her research spans creative education sectors and interdisciplinary projects.
