A Nexus of Thoughts is an archive housing a collection of our ideas as they met and expanded. Throughout 2022 - 2023, Team Nexus — along with our event participants and other friends and allies — reached out beyond our series of events and seminars through podcasts and blog posts.
The NEXUS BRN Podcast
The NEXUS BRN Podcast was run by Ahnaaf (Main Host) & Michelle (Co-host, Producer) from the team throughout 2022 - 23. The podcast discussed topics relating to language rights, migration, identity and so on. From the linguistic struggle of unaccompanied migrant children in Finland to the identity crisis of Hong Kong's third culture kids, we invited different guests onto our podcast to share their stories on belonging in our Main and Mini series.
- Main Series: Guests hailing from diverse backgrounds (e.g. academia, community arts practices, social work) come onto our Podcast to share their works, experiences, and tales of belonging / working with belonging.
Episodes in the Main Series are 35-60 min long.
- Mini Series: On this series, friends and allies of Nexus are invited for a casual chat about all-things belonging — food, entertainment, music, transportation, pop culture, anecdotes — you name it, we've got it.
Episodes in the Mini Series are 20-30 min long.
The podcast is currently accessible on BuzzSprout and Spotify.
