Unpacking Development

"The Field" is a ubiquitous bit of jargon which is used across a number of...fields (anthropology, journalism, etc.) But in international development, it holds particular (often problematic) significance. Tune in as we discuss with our guest @mwalukere! unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/114479…

Just a few more days until the newest episode of @UnpackingDevPod drops! Don't miss this chance to catch up on the old ones ... where @plautdaniel + I + great guests unpack Development, Beneficiaries, Gender Mainstreaming and more! open.spotify.com/show/3kxwiCkgQ…

@Research2Action @CourtneyTolmie @plautdaniel Appreciate the shout out! For anyone interested in our pilot episode (and others!) see tweet below! twitter.com/UnpackingDevPo…

The #GlobalDevelopment world can be jargon heavy. Hosted by @CourtneyTolmie & @plautdaniel, @UnpackingDevPod gets to the nub of what development is really all about, what the jargon means & what really matters. #R2ARecommends ow.ly/nflR50KQ0KQ

After a brief hiatus, we're coming back with new @UnpackingDevPod episodes in a few weeks. If you haven't checked us out yet see the thread below! All current episodes can be found here: unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com

Our third episode of @UnpackingDevPod is about "Gender Mainstreaming" a bit of a jargon mouthful that is often used to refer to the many different ways that development programs seek to bridge equity gaps along gender lines. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/105117…

In case you missed it ... our newest @UnpackingDevPod episode is UP, featuring me + @plautdaniel + the amazing Nani Zulminarni, founder of PEKKA Indonesia ... talking #gender mainstreaming in development! Great convo and insights from Nani - check it out! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unp…

For our second @UnpackingDevPod episode, we tackled the "Beneficiary" a pretty common jargon in the industry which usually refers to recipient(s) of goods and services produced through development programming. We're not the first to wonder about this term. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/103515…

Our second episode has dropped! Check out @plautdaniel + @CourtneyTolmie + our friend @MohMohammed02 from @CDDGha talk about one of the most used words in #development ... BENEFICIARY! Love it or hate it, it deserves some unpacking: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unp…

Our 2nd episode of @UnpackingDevPod is up! This one focused on the term "Beneficiary" a pretty pervasive jargon/pet-peeve of many in the industry. 😊unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/103515…

Thanks for all of the amazing feedback and downloads of @UnpackingDevPod - @plautdaniel + I are floored by the response! And a preview for next Tues - the jargon is "beneficiary" and our guest is the fantastic Mohammed Awal (@MohMohammed02 ) from @CDDGha! See you next wk!

Should "development" have a geographic focus? Or is it more important to focus on improving the lives of marginalized communities everywhere? Check out @plautdaniel and @CourtneyTolmie's discussion on last week's episode. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/102500…

Feeling officially welcomed to the podcast community because I too can spot my “umm”s just by the waveform when editing.

Our pilot episode discusses the international development industry, its history, legacy, and objectives. It's all a bit messy and definitely needs some unpacking. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com

Also, a quick disclaimer on who is accountable for this podcast and the challenging nature of having critical conversations about development. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/102500…

For our first episode we unpack "Development". What is it is exactly? How did it start and how is it does it shape/reflect our global power structures? Listen now on @ApplePodcasts or @spotifypodcasts. unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/102500…

Episode 1 has DROPPED! Check out the first episode of our podcast Unpacking Development @unpackingdevpod where @danielplaut + I start at the beginning … why unpack dev? (1/5) 🧵unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/102500…

Ahh it's out! First episode of @UnpackingDevPod! This one focuses on unpacking..."Development"! While we imagine many listening will be industry insiders, we wanted to start fresh and welcome folks less familiar. Of course, we still hope dev-heads enjoy! unpackingdevelopment.buzzsprout.com/1933290/102500…

If there is anything dev professionals love more than jargon (which is debatable), it is giant post-its. Tune into the podcast to see how many episodes we can have before unpacking this truth.
