Interview with Iris May & Gwendolin Kircali, part of the Sustainable Voices Podcast Series
The interview considers the long-form content as a counter-proposal to the dominant form of social media.
Through the generous support of the Learning and Teaching Department at The Glasgow School of Art, a series of podcasts were recorded that consider the open interview methodology and the long form content in delivery. ‘Sustainable Voices’, developed in a framework of the Student Partnership Programme, considers how climate literacy, sustainable art practices, and environmental challenges affecting the creative industry are thought through.
Teh interview examine how long-form content encourages thinking critically, synthesising information , developing a deeper understanding and allowing the formulation of a nuanced and advanced position to take place. Very relevant in recent conversations of consumption of information and content and effect in mental health and skill acquisition, the longform is proposed as a potential antidote to delivery, one that improves retention and understanding and one that ultimately aids to develop both focus and a lifelong learning mindset and how this allows for expanded understandings to occur with regards to subject matters that is not only expansive, but also presents itself to be not only a ‘wicked problem’ (Rittel and Weber) but also a ‘complex one’ (Hawkings and James).
