Africa-Brain Stor(e)ying Po(t)cast aims at highlighting and achieving brain and mental health stories about initiatives by players in the mental health space in the African continent with a special focus on African indigenous knowledge and storytelling.

This will be done by inviting different guests to conversations about mental health issues and initiatives by communities and experts in the field of brain and mental health.

This initiative forms part of Africa Brain Health Network which is a group of Africans across the Atlantic programs who are passionate about mental health and brain health on the continent. The group aims to develop a Pan-African vision of brain health, focusing on health, not just disease management, and recognizing the cross-continental knowledge resources available. These include indigenous social structures that support the well-being of community members. These structures are often erased without critical inspection of the roles they play in supporting health and wellbeing. The network is also passionate about building a community of care for our members so they are able to do their work in connection.

Society’s Super Heroes is a podcast series celebrating the men, women and organisations who have dedicated their lives to empowering communities, and who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others.

Each sector commemorates an annual day. The days are occasions to educate and to reinforce achievements in humanity. These days are the perfect springboard for awareness raising actions. We will be curating conversations with Super Heroes to explore what their day means to them and shine a spotlight on the work that they are doing. We will be sharing stories of hope and inspired active citizenship as we shift consciousness.

An academic citizen is anyone who is part of the higher education community. They are engaged in pedagogy or research or both, and are committed to furthering knowledge, education and the advancement of society from their disciplinary position.

An academic citizen sees their work in higher education as a public project, both in terms of being partially funded by taxpayer money, and in terms of the contributions they wish to make to the world around them.

Although citizenship implies an exclusive form of belonging, here we use it to signal the role of academic work in collective life in a non-exclusionary way, and to anchor it in a public project to which all humanity belongs.

We create knowledge not only for our individual benefit but for the benefit of all.

The Academic Citizen is an independent podcast series produced and funded in its second iteration by the South African Research Chair in Science Communication in 2022. It was originally supported by the Academic Staff Association of Wits University (ASAWU) when it was first established in 2016.
