Consent: The connection between learning and healing

In this episode of the Teaching Matters podcast, we continue our conversation with Dr Nina Burrowes, a psychologist and founder of the Consent Collective, an organisation that works with communities and institutions in helping navigate the complex terrain of consent and sexual violence. The Consent Collective has been working closely with the University of Edinburgh for over four years by providing expert psycho-education content and support in creative ways, including gameshow podcasts, panel events, cooking shows and more. In this second episode, Dr Burrowes explores how consent is an interpersonal skill learned that takes lots of practice. She also discusses the role of higher education institutions in providing spaces for healing, learning, and making mistakes.
