Welcome to the brand-new podcast, “Can I Have a Word?”
The “Can I Have a Word?” podcast explores the complex intersection between language and self-identity. Through a nuanced exploration of the words we use, this podcast examines how words inform who we are and how we subsequently navigate through the world as a result. By understanding our individual relationship to language, we will gain more insight into the depths of the human experience and simultaneously create more opportunities to better understand one another.
Hosted by cultural advisor and communications strategist Carl James, this podcast will help you unlock the deeper meaning that lies in the words we use every day. If you are open to exploring the power that language can have in our lives, then this podcast is for you!
This podcast will provide the context and rationale for important questions like:
*How do the words we use shape our personal and cultural identity?
*How does language connect or disconnect us from our cultural roots or communities?
*How do the words we use intersect with specific identity markers, including race, gender, and class?
*How does language influence power dynamics in society?
*What emotional and psychological impact does language have on identity?
*How does a deeper exploration of language allow for a greater sense of freedom, control, and power?
