Les mer Let's Talk About It: A Social Work Podcast

Let’s Talk About It is a community-centered, research-informed podcast that leans into difficult conversations about equity, inclusion, and social justice. We translate complex evidence and lived experience into clear, human stories and practical insights you can use in classrooms, clinics, community rooms, and boardrooms.What we do (every season):Each season focuses on a specific social justice issue and follows a consistent arc: context, lived analysis, structural mapping, and reflective takeaways. We pair current research and policy with real-world perspectives to show how systems, rules, and everyday practices shape people’s lives.How we collaborate:Where applicable, we co-design with a recurring panel of community experts. In other seasons, we feature guest speakers or conduct interviews to bring in diverse voices and experiences. Across formats, we use a trauma-informed, consent-first approach (pre-briefing, optional redactions, and transcript review) to protect dignity while telling the truth.Who it’s for:People most affected by the issues at hand—and the practitioners, educators, advocates, and leaders who serve them. If you’re navigating services, training teams, shaping policy, or studying social work, you’ll find language, evidence, and strategies you can act on.How we publish:We release in seasons, each dedicated to one topic. Expect plain language, clear references, and honest dialogue, never sensationalism or individualized legal/clinical advice.Our commitments:We’re guided by DEIPAR values (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Intersectionality, Power analysis, Antiracism). We center community wisdom, credit sources, and use only rights-cleared content. Our aim is simple: turn courageous conversations into shared understanding and real-world change.Subscribe to join a growing community turning evidence and lived wisdom into action.

episode Ep. 10: What We Built, What We Missed, and What Comes Next cover

Ep. 10: What We Built, What We Missed, and What Comes Next

Episode 10 traces what it means to close a season honestly. The finale turns the lens on the project itself, bringing the Black Veteran Advisory Panel to the center to share what they affirmed, what they challenged, and where they called for the work to go further. Listeners hear how co-designing with Black veterans shaped every episode of the season, from word choices in individual sentences to the framing of entire arguments, and why that process matters as much as the content it produced. The episode also names what is missing: VA employees who declined to participate out of fear of professional consequences, and the institutional communication policies that made their silence predictable. That absence is treated not as a logistical problem but as a structural one, connected directly to how systems protect their own narratives. By the final segment, the episode zooms out beyond the VA to ask what this season's lessons demand of practitioners, supervisors, and leaders working in any system that touches Black lives. Season 1 ends not as a conclusion but as a starting point, leaving listeners with a clear challenge to carry at least one concrete idea from what they have heard back into their own practice, their own leadership, and their own corner of the world.

episode Ep. 2: The Long Shadow of History: Structural Racism and Black Veterans' Experiences in the VA cover

Ep. 2: The Long Shadow of History: Structural Racism and Black Veterans' Experiences in the VA

Episode 2 traces how the past lives inside the present-day VA. The conversation walks through slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, GI Bill exclusions, redlining, and infamous medical abuses like Tuskegee to show how racism has been baked into U.S. systems for generations. Listeners get a clear, accessible definition of structural racism and how it shapes where people live, the care they receive, and how they’re treated in institutions, including the military and VA. By the end of the episode, mistrust of systems is reframed as rational and historically grounded, not a personal flaw, and the show begins to connect these histories to overlapping identities that will be taken up more fully in later episodes.

episode Ep. 1: What's Broken, And How Do We Know? cover

Ep. 1: What's Broken, And How Do We Know?

This opening episode sets the stage: what exactly isn’t working for Black veterans in the VA health and benefits system, and how do we know it’s not “just in someone’s head”? The host grounds the conversation in their positionality (whiteness, veteran status, and professional role) and names the commitment to center Black veterans’ lived expertise alongside research and policy reports. Listeners are walked through the “pipeline” of inequity—from accessing care, to exams and documentation, to decisions and outcomes—using data to show clear patterns of structural racism. Critical Race Theory is introduced as the guiding framework for the season, and the Black Veteran Advisory Panel is highlighted as a core partner in deciding what questions get asked and what “better” should look like.

episode Ep. 9: Building the Fix, Co-Design & Accountability cover

Ep. 9: Building the Fix, Co-Design & Accountability

Bringing together the entire season, Episode 9 offers a systems-level blueprint for “building the fix” rather than simply naming what’s broken. Co-design is framed as the default, not a special project. Black veterans shift from being subjects of research or policy to co-authors of how care, claims, and data stewardship are structured. The episode walks through what this looks like in practice: co-designed exam scripts and checklists, veteran advisory councils with real decision power, equity dashboards co-governed with communities, and clear accountability loops when inequities show up. Listeners get a three-level playbook for veterans, clinicians, and leaders, rooted in the idea that trust is not begged for, it is designed, measured, and earned over time.

episode Ep. 8: Data, Gatekeeping & Who Sets the Questions? cover

Ep. 8: Data, Gatekeeping & Who Sets the Questions?

Episode 8 asks a deceptively simple question: who controls the data that define Black veterans’ realities, and who gets locked out? The discussion unpacks how restricted access to VA data makes it hard (or impossible) for independent researchers, Black scholars, and community partners to replicate findings or challenge blind spots, and how incomplete race and ethnicity data can hide real disparities. Listeners learn how underrepresentation in research participation, mistrust, and technical gaps come together to create “partial visibility” for Black veterans. The episode then explores what equitable data practices could look like, from shared governance and open science norms to tiered data access and partnership with HBCUs/MSIs. The central message: data equity is not a technical side issue; it’s core to justice, accountability, and trust.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
