Ep 148: Erin Harrington and Pip chat

I've been a fan of Erin Harrington's work for a long time. I love her writing and research. Over the past six months I got to work on the same floor as Erin while I was one of the Ursula Bethell Fellow at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha where Erin is a Senior Lecturer. It was so great to talk to Erin about this article: 'As we shovel in distractions, the inner life grows dim' by Charlotte Wood which appeared in The Guardian in 2020 during lockdown. Here's a link to the article The article was published in The Luminous Solution: Creativity, Resilience & the Inner-Life Charlotte Woods book about creative thinking. Here's a link to the book A Horse Walks into a Bar - Free Workshop Thanks so much to everyone who attended and has watched the video of this workshop. If you haven't watched the workshop yet you can learn more about it and get a link to it at my website Action: Gaza Funds صندوق مالي لغزة Gaza Funds is a project that connects people to crowdfunding campaigns for individuals and families from Gaza. Each time the page is reloaded, a different campaign appears. While the rotation is randomized, campaigns for the sick/injured and campaigns close to meeting their goals are prioritized. We never want any of these campaigns to go stagnant, so we make sure to also prioritize fundraisers that haven't had a donation in a while. As existing fundraisers meet their goals, they will be replaced with other fundraisers that need your help. Here's a link to Gaza Funds Disability Support Services Community consultation - runs from 10 February to 24 March 2025. Almost a year since the initial sudden and unjust changes to disability support service, fresh consultation has begun on options for changes to flexible funding. Here's a link to the submissions process An interview with Joanne Dacombe who is the immediate past President of the Disabled Persons Assembly, and Jade Farrar who is the chair of the National Enabling Good Lives leadership group is really helpful.
