Episode Synopsis "Ep 4. Authentic engagement: The rise of social performance as a profession in South Africa"

In this episode, we chat with Alison McCallum, whose social science training helps her make sense of the social performance work that she does in the energy sector. She approaches the complexities of this work through a lens of humanness, and how we relate to each other as a society. Alison encourages practitioners in the industry to question how we develop the tools to best achieve change.  For further exploring: Alison refers to trauma and woundedness in community development.
