In two episodes per month, ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s new On ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´e podcast offers insights on global issues from ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ experts. Those experts include faculty and staff from ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Graduate Institute’s campus in Brattleboro, Vermont and our Washington DC Center, and academic directors and faculty from nearly 80 Study Abroad programs. ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s experts also include graduate students, who hail from all over the world. Many have seen conflict or humanitarian crisis up close, and others have worked in non-governmental organizations all over the globe.

You’ll hear from people like ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ president Sophia Howlett, Global Youth Development and Leadership program chair John Ungerleider, and ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Ecuador Academic Director Fabian Espinosa (pictured), but also from students like Fadia Thabet, who won a State Department International Women of Courage Award for her work helping children caught up in brutal conflict in Yemen.

The first five episodes are available below. Hosts for On ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´e include ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ Communications Director Kate Casa and Communications Specialist James Heflin. Podcasts are recorded at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s Brattleboro campus. On ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´e’s theme music is by Western Massachusetts percussionist Tony Vacca, and was recorded live at ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´â€™s 2017 commencement.
