Michelle Fine

So it wasn't, we didn't think about building our podcast as like, people have different things, let's host some webinars or, you know, just to kind of move that knowledge, but like let's be in conversation with each other so that we can try to ground some of the things that people are experimenting with or playing with in different communities and contexts to be able to interpret and understand what that might mean for our own work and our own practice.

And though Michelle Fine was not one of our formal partners season one, she is coming in as a formal partner season two.

And I love to quote you, Michelle, if you're listening on her concept of provocative generalizability.

It's a mouthful, but I love it where someone might talk about something that's really relevant and meaningful in their own community.

And it was such an awesome episode because it had people in conversation who, at least for the folks who were there, had not up to this point been in conversation with each other.

But it also offered such interesting ways that we could reroute it, that in the critical response, we had people coming in from Palestine to talk about how it translated into the work with Hannah Massoud was on that episode talking about working with farmers in Palestine.

And we had an interesting part of that where Michelle Fine was on an episode and started talking about how in works that she was doing with one of her previously graduated Maori students, talking about participatory action research with ancestors.

The way that we've kind of colonially constructed PAR is with people who are currently alive rather than in knowledges with ancestors.
