Broadcasting from Asheville, North Carolina, Se Ve Se Escucha (Seen and Heard) is a new English-language podcast about language justice and what it means to be an interpreter, an organizer, and bilingual in the American South.
Launched on July 12th, SVSE will release new episodes every week through August.
The co-hosts, Ada Volkmer and Andrea Golden, are interpreters, language justice workers, colleagues, and comadres.
“Language justice is about being seen and heard,” said Ada Volkmer. “It’s not just about the right to speak your language. It’s about then being able to connect with others in order to transform our communities.”
For years, the Center for Participatory Change has organized interpreter workshops and trainings and created training materials. Now, CPC is excited to bring you a brand new podcast that continues to build on that work. Join Ada, Andrea and their special guests as they talk about training social justice interpreters, queering language, revitalizing indigenous languages, and the intersections of language and racial justice.
If you’re an interpreter, bilingual, an immigrant, care about language, or in the movement, this podcast is for you.
Se Ve Se Escucha is produced by Leonel Gutierrez and Manuel de la Luz, hosted by the Center for Participatory Change and recorded at the studios of Asheville FM.
