About this listen

This week we talk about feeling “uncomfortable” compared to feeling “unsafe”, and how these terms have become conflated in conversations around free speech and protests against genocide in Palestine.

We discuss what it actually means to be unsafe, the way safety as a concept has been weaponised against marginalised folk, and the importance of sitting with discomfort for growth and reconciliation.
