Sustainability Matters
Sustainability Matters (formerly Humanities Matter)—produced by De Gruyter Brill—takes a deep dive into sustainability in scholarly communications and beyond. The podcast explores topics such as promoting diverse voices and marginalized perspectives in academia, the global accessibility of research, research ethics, combatting misinformation and more. Sustainability Matters features experts, advocates, practitioners, and De Gruyter Brill authors whose work on ethical and sustainable practices breaks boundaries, builds new bonds, and shapes a better future. Join us as we explore how we can shape a more equitable and accessible future for knowledge sharing—because sustainability truly matters, in scholarly publishing, and beyond.

Difference, Diversity, and Intersectionality in Adult Education and Beyond: A Pride Month Special Episode
It’s pride month!
In this episode, we discuss the importance of an intersectional approach to research, the role of adult educators in fostering inclusive learning environments, the power of pop culture in addressing gender and sexuality issues, the homogenisation of the heterogenous trans community, and the rise of rainbow capitalism. We also tackle an important question: When does diversity stop being enough?
We speak with Dr. Bonnie Slade, volume editor, and Dr. Ksenija Joksimović and Lidiane Castro, chapter authors of the ‘Gender and Sexuality’ section, of the new book Adult Education and Difference—which is volume 36 in the series International Issues in Adult Education published by Brill.
