Outsiders Within – Podcasting as a Decolonizing Literacy Methodology

• In Event: The Promises and Pitfalls of Digital Literacies

Abstract

This proposal explores how podcasting can function as a decolonizing literacy methodology by centering marginalized voices and countering dominant narratives. Using the Outsider Within podcast as a case study, we apply a podcast ethnography framework (Lundström & Lundström, 2020) alongside critical race theory, intersectionality, and postcolonial discourse analysis to examine the potential of podcasting as a platform for critical reflection and liberatory action.
