Useful Outsiders

By: Council for International Development
  • Summary

  • As disruptions like Covid and climate change continue to challenge the way we live, it is clear that maintaining the status quo is not an option. Rising inequality and crises across the world, mean that the work of the humanitarian and international development sector is more important than ever. But old ways of working have been challenged, highlighting the need for more localised leadership and collaboration across sectors.


    Through conversations and debates, this podcast series looks at the work of the humanitarian and international development sector and challenges us to consider what it takes to be a truly ‘useful outsider’.


    Useful Outsiders is a monthly podcast series brought to you by the Council of International Development (CID), New Zealand. CID encourages open and honest debate in this series - views expressed do not necessarily represent the views of CID and its membership.


    The series is produced by CID's Communications, Events and Office Manager, Sarah King. Please get in touch if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas for future episodes and speakers.

    This episode explores Oxfam's Inclusive Language Guide and its significance in the international development sector, particularly focusing on Aotearoa's unique context: Te Tiriti o Waitangi and tangata whenua / Māori. Hosted by Oxfam’s own International Development Director Angela Wilton, this episode aims to shed light on the power of language in shaping perceptions, addressing inequality, and promoting inclusivity while recognising the Aotearoa New Zealand context. Angela is joined by Director at Reo Māori Mai, Ariana Stevens, to share her insights, her personal experiences, and the challenges we have here in Aotearoa in using inclusive language.


    This episode will aim to provide guidance on how to use inclusive language in communications, policies, and programmes, and encourage listeners - especially in the international development sector - to reflect on their own language use and its impact on promoting social justice and equality.
