Praxis<https://changingthestory.leeds.ac.uk/praxis/> is an AHRC-GCRF research project focused on Arts and Humanities research across the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) portfolio. Specifically, its aims are to consolidate learning across GCRF projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), to amplify their impact and policy relevance and shape the future GCRF research agenda. Over the next two years, Praxis will release a series of stimulating podcast episodes, which take a 20-25 minute dive into the most pressing issues and prevalent questions from across the arts and humanities international development research field today. Each episode is hosted by a different expert from across the heritage, conflict and displacement, resilience and global health sector, and will feature panellists comprised of researchers and NGO partners working on AHRC-GCRF and Newton projects, as well as policy experts and arts practitioners from the Global North and South. Drawing on the panelists unique expertise, each episode has been carefully curated to provide a deeper insight into the urgent issues raised by those working in the arts and humanities international development field, and will introduce new learning, communicating the distinct contribution arts and humanities research can make to tackling urgent global development challenges. Available Episodes Episode 1: How to Engage with the Policy Process Dr Hana Morel (UCL), Richard Hebditch (National Trust), Professor Ian Baxter (Heriot Watt) and Praxis Principal Investigator Professor Stuart Taberner (University of Leeds) cast a critical lens over why arts and humanities researchers should engage with policy, the opportunities available to drive and shape policy (hint: there’s more than you might think), and provide practical guidance on where researchers should start. Episode 2: In Conversation: Food and Heritage The podcast episode is hosted Dr Tahrat Shahid, GCRF Challenge Leader for Food Systems at UK Research and Innovation, and features panellists Professor Naomi Sykes (University of Exeter), Professor Henrice Altink (University of York), Dr Sandip Hazareesingh (The Open University) and Dr Theano Moussouri (University College London). Following brief introductions, the panel discuss interdisciplinary research, balancing priorities of preserving local food varieties with feeding the population and the future food research agenda.
