So We Heard: Noura Discusses Food Maps as a Decolonial Feminist Research Methodology

Prompted by our youngest team member’s desire for shorter podcasts on her regular commute to and from LSE, Can You Hear Us?  is proud to present So We Heard, a series of bite-sized, informal chats dedicated to exploring academic theories, case studies, and current affairs within international development through the lens of black, indigenous, and women of color (BIWOC). With episodes lasting 30 minutes or less, Can You Hear Us team members join assistant producer, Ragini Puri, on a quick deep-dive into what topic within development is peaking their interest and why it matters. 
 
In this episode, Ragini is joined by Noura Nasser, a lead researcher at CYHU. Noura is a PhD candidate at the LSE and her research looks into urban food practices by and for migrant communities. 
 
What are food maps?
What can we learn about urban migrant communities from food maps? 
How can food maps be used as a decolonial and feminist methodology to study urban migrant communities? 
 
We discuss this and a lot more in the eight episode of So We Heard. Tune in to listen!
