NEW PIRL PODCAST SERIES: LOOKING FOR HOSTS AND REVIEWERS

What is this Opportunity About: As we head into our third year of the PIRL project, we will be introducing new and exciting ways of sharing our experiences, research findings, what we do, and how we learn together in the PIRL network. We are excited to announce that we will be launching a new podcast series called “Inclusive Research with PIRL.”
These podcasts will be centered around Disability Inclusive Development research, exploring various topics such as Navigating North-South Partnerships in DID research, defining our identity as researchers, Intersectionality and Inclusion in research, and many more topics. 
The format of these podcasts will include panel discussions, one-on-one conversations, and storytelling. We will be sharing episodes on several platforms such as Spotify, Apple podcast, Google podcast, WhatsApp, and google drive links for easy download.
We are currently looking for volunteer hosts to facilitate the podcast conversations AND are also looking for people who will be in charge of reviewing each episode for quality control before they are officially shared.

Who can Participate: This opportunity is open to all members of the PIRL network. 
Why Participate:  Becoming a host can help hone your communication and facilitation skills. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about DID research while connecting with and building new relationships with people in the field. As a reviewer, you will get an early look at the exciting podcast content while developing your attention to detail and ability to ensure that guidelines are followed adequately. 
How to Participate: Please send an email to PIRL@utoronto.ca and indicate whether you are interested in becoming either a host or reviewer. In your message, please let us know what interests you about this opportunity, and what you would bring to the podcasts.
Deadline: September 15th, 2021
