Sarika Bansal is an editor and storyteller, I first came across her work in the BRIGHT Magazine which you hear referenced frequently on this podcast. As founder & editor-in-chief, they told fresh, solutions-oriented stories about social change which I learnt a lot from and would highly recommend to check it out.
As I admired her work with BRIGHT Magazine and writings, it was a real honour to have her on the podcast. One particular area of interest has been on the language we use in the international development space. There is nothing more systemic than language, it is the very thing that a system is built on and thus best captures some of the underlying themes & assumptions. In this episode we focus on the language as it pertains to describing the humans involved, the approach of projects and the impact and what it reveals about the development space. I hope you take something away from our discussion!
