Embracing Transformation: The Podcast
What does transformation mean? Nowadays, the concept is used in multiple contexts with diverse meanings, and a consensus is still missing. In the new podcast show by the Leuphana Transformation Lab, we examine the semantic, epistemological, and performative dimensions of transformation across social, political, economic, and ecological domains. With this podcast, we're making transformation research accessible to a wider audience. Interested? Tune in!
Transformation is a concept saturated with disciplinary diversity, contested meanings, and political weight. The “Embracing Transformation” podcast invites scholars and practitioners from across various disciplines to engage with the plurality of meanings – and the tensions between them. It aims to cover a broad range of topics within the sphere of transformation, including but not limited to climate change, digitalization, and socio-political upheavals. The podcast’s goal is to make complex research topics accessible to a wider audience and to broaden the discourse on transformative processes.

Transformation is a slippery term. Yet every person goes through transformative processes in their life on various levels, over different time periods, and to varying degrees. Join researchers Prof. Dr. Berta Martin-Lopez and Dr. Anke Gruendel of the Leuphana Transformation Lab, along with producer Avery Miles, as they explore the concept through their individual experiences of transformation – and learn how they incorporate these perspectives into their academic work.
