As the coronavirus pandemic extends into its second year, digital literacy is more important now than ever. Misinformation and hoaxes are everywhere. Cultural and political contests on social media have also become more intense, and politicians are already beginning to position themselves ahead of the 2024 elections. 

Being digitally literate entails not only the ability to use digital devices and platforms but also the capacity to ethically engage with other online users. Digital safety and privacy are also important. As is, of course, the capacity to understand whether information is true and reliable. But just how digitally literate are Indonesians?

In this episode, Dr Annisa Beta talks to Dr Novi Kurnia, a lecturer at the Department of Communication Science at Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Gadjah Mada University, and the founder and coordinator of the Indonesia Digital Literacy Network or Japelidi.

Japelidi, along with the Ministry of Communication and Informatics and Siberkreasi, published four important modules on digital literacy in April 2021. The modules can be accessed on literasidigital.id

The Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Annisa Beta from the University of Melbourne’s School of Culture and Communication, Dr Dave McRae from the University of Melbourne’s Asia Institute, Dr Jemma Purdey from Monash University, and Dr Charlotte Setijadi from the Singapore Management University.

Her daughter Sofia has spent years playing the reluctant detective in this mystery, struggling to understand her mother's illness.

Surrounded by the oppressive desert heat, searching for a cure to a defiant and quite possibly imagined disease, Sofia is forced to confront her difficult relationship with her mother. Examining female rage and sexuality, Deborah Levy explores the strange and monstrous nature of motherhood, testing the bonds of parent and child to breaking point. a defiant and quite possibly imagined disease, Sofia is forced to confront her difficult relationship with her mother.

Fully Automated Luxury Communism

Deborah Levy writes to Oscar Wilde himself, questioning what a man is and the motives of those who condemned him to imprisonment.

For Letters of Separation, part of Inside: Artists and Writers in Reading Prison, nine contemporary writers were asked to compose a letter to a loved one from whom they have been separated by state enforcement (imagined or real).

Letters of Separation: Deborah Levy

There are more than 160,000 Chinese students in Australian educational institutions. While their contributions to Australian society have been widely acknowledged, the media have recently focused on several incidents in which Chinese students have challenged or criticised lecturers on Australian university campuses, and have sometimes depicted Chinese students as being brainwashed by the Chinese Government. How do Chinese students react to this coverage? What are the different sources and expressions of nationalism and patriotism among Chinese students? What views are held within the Chinese student community and the Australian academic community about how cultural and political differences should be addressed? What strategies can universities implement to improve cross-cultural communication? Wanning Sun, Professor of Media and Communication Studies at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) joins James Laurenceson, Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at UTS to discuss the challenges faced by Chinese students and their instructors in Australian universities, and how these challenges may be addressed.

7. Chinese students in Australia - with Wanning Sun

For about a year now, there has been heated debate about Chinese international students on Australian university campuses. In 2017 media reported on four incidents involving Chinese students protesting lecture content. Some commentators have claimed that Chinese students are brainwashed prior to arrival, spy or protest on behalf of the Chinese Government while studying here and are generally kept loyal to the Communist Party during their time in Australia by being surrounded by Beijing-approved Chinese-language media. However, most of the time the voices of Chinese students themselves are not part of the discussion. What are Chinese students’ aspirations for their time in Australia? Do these accord with their actual experiences? Do Chinese students aim to immerse themselves in Australian life? What part do Chinese-language media play in their Australian experience?

Fran Martin, Associate Professor and Reader in Cultural Studies at the University of Melbourne, joins James Laurenceson, Deputy Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology Sydney to discuss her Australian Research Council-funded project following more than 50 female students coming to Australian universities from China, from before their departure to after their graduation.

How do we reimagine higher education for a networked age? 

Prof. George Siemens (University of Texas at Arlington) is well-known for his work in the areas of e-learning and open education. 

We discuss George’s pioneering work with MOOCs, his current interest in ‘being’ skills, and ongoing ambitions to reimagine education systems to fit individual learners in an era when the technological systems around us are more intelligent than we are.

Patron Q&A - What If Warren Wins? Knocking the Hustle & More [B-Side]

Valget i Storbritannien er lige om hjørnet. Det er et ideologisk valg mellem to helt forskellige politiske projekter i et splittet klassesamfund.
 
Jakob Ruggaard fra Radioaktivs europapolitiske podcast Et spøgelse går gennem Europa interviewer ekspert i politisk økonomi og kender af Storbritannien Rune Møller Stahl om perspektiverne i det forestående engelske valg.
 
Lyt med og bliv klogere på årsagerne til, at vi står foran et valg imellem to populistiske positioner, som er længere fra hinanden end nogensinde.
 
Interviewet er foretaget lidt inden det nu bliver bragt. Det giver stadig en stærk baggrund for at forstå, hvad vi kan lære af den engelske valgkamp og hvilken kontekst den foregår i.

Welcome to LSE's award-winning podcast, LSE IQ, where we ask leading social scientists - and other experts - to answer an intelligent question about economics, politics or society.

This episode is dedicated to David Graeber, LSE professor of Anthropology, who died unexpectedly in September this year. David was a public intellectual, a best-selling author, an influential activist and anarchist. 
He took aim at the pointless bureaucracy of modern life, memorably coining the term ‘bullshit jobs’. And his book ‘Debt: The First 5000 years’ was turned into a radio series by the BBC. 
But David started his academic career studying Madagascar. Anthropology interested him, he said, because he was interested in human possibilities - including the potential of societies to organise themselves without the need for a state - as he had seen in his own research. 
He was also a well-known anti-globalisation activist and a leading figure in the Occupy Wall Street Movement.  
David was generous enough to do an interview for us in 2016 when LSE iQ was in its infancy. That episode asked, ‘What’s the future of work?’  and in his interview he reflected on the disappointments of technology, pointless jobs and caring labour. 
David was such an interesting speaker that we would have liked to use more of it at the time, but we didn’t have the space. Now, it feels right to bring you a lightly edited version of the interview.

Alison Phipps joins PTO to talk about her new book, 'Me, Not You: The Trouble with Mainstream Feminism'. We chatted about the MeToo movement and what it reveals about the mainstream of feminist politics, how violence against women is necessary to the project of capitalist globalisation and how the image of the imperilled white woman has been central to the project of empire both formal and informal.
