| 4/30/26 |  Minoritaire, pas marginale : la force de la recherche francophone | Alors que le Canada cherche à affirmer son rôle comme chef de file en recherche et innovation, une question essentielle se pose : quelle place accorde-t-on à la recherche en français, particulièrement en dehors du Québec? Trop souvent ignorées, les communautés francophones en situation minoritaire jouent pourtant un rôle déterminant dans le développement du savoir, de la culture et de l’identité canadienne. Dans l’épisode de ce mois-ci du balado Voir Grand, Karine Morin est accompagnée ... | 28m 41s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 |  Desire, disability, and the myths around intimacy | Across healthcare, education, and advocacy, many assumptions about disability are being challenged and, in some cases, dismantled.

| 2/27/26 |  Nourishing Black scholarship, nurturing collective joy | Something remarkable happens when spaces are allowed to feel more human—when they are welcoming, grounded in care, and shaped with intention. When there’s time to sit together, perhaps good food on the table, and an openness that feels closer to being welcomed into someone’s home than arriving at an institution of learning. Across the country, centres for Black studies are emerging as spaces like these. They are places where Black scholarship is held with care, where history and leadership ar... | 28m 55s | ||||||

In this episode of the Big Thinking Podcast, Karine Morin is joined by Stéfanie Von Hltaky, Canada Research Chair in Gender, Security, and the Armed Forces to u... | 28m 40s | ||||||

| 12/8/23 |  Redefining the Canadian housing paradigm - Part I | The Canadian housing crisis is more than a financial challenge; it's a societal concern with deep-seated roots.

| 11/24/23 |  She-cession: unveiling the pandemic's impact on women in the workforce | Historically, most recessions have been described as being "he-cessions"; most jobs lost were male dominated industries, and the women led sectors shortly followed. When the Covid-19 pandemic started, women's employment was hit especially hard by the economic slow down that followed, causing some to call it a "she-cession." But what exactly does the term mean, why did it happen, and what does it tell us about the future of our economy? For this Big Thinking Podcast episode, our host Gab... | 34m 56s | ||||||
