Theory & Philosophy
Welcome! My name’s David Guignion and I distill complicated philosophical and theoretical ideas for wide audiences. While ideas are important to help us understand the world, it is even more important to put ideas into action. Some of this channel’s key theoretical and pragmatic influences include, but are not limited to, Marxism, Decolonialization, Feminism, Gender and Queer theory, and Critical Race Theory. This channel’s content is recorded on the in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal, the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka, comprised of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinaabeg.

What is Hungry Listening? | Dylan Robinson | Keyword
Wednesday Feb 17, 2021
Wednesday Feb 17, 2021
In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ryan Shuvera to discuss Stó:lō writer, Dylan Robinson's writing on "Hungry Listening." While neither Ryan nor I are equipped to fully comprehend nor extrapolate on the significance of this term, we try to provide a basic introduction to the situation it is meant to describe: colonial listening experiences.
If you can contribute, this is just one of many organizations working to help Indigenous communities in Canada: https://truenorthaid.ca/about/
