Ep 48: Post Election Debrief

Tune in to get the recap on the first 3 weeks of the federal election campaign. We'll be back later this week after the national debates.

The Femme Wonk Book Club is joined by author Celina Caesar-Chavannes to discuss her book, Can You Hear Me Now?

This episode is 100% my (Katie's -- hi!) advice about a career in the policy space. We cover master's, the landscape, and practical tips.  The takeaway? Connect with people and learn how to stand out.

As promised, here is your New Brunswick post election debrief! I'm joined by University of New Brunswick prof JP Lewis who helps us understand the context of the election. His takeaway: You can’t assume that whatever happened with Covid-19 evaluation of government and voter intentions will overwhelm traditional voting patterns. Like what you hear? Leave us a review!

This episode is dropping just 10 days before Election Day. Check it out to hear my thoughts on the campaign this far, and what to expect over the next two weeks.

We chatted with the authors of the first national feminist economic recovery plan in the world. Anjum and Carmina talk about the motivation behind the plan, some of the nuts and bolts of creating it,  a description of pillars, and what's next for the plan.  Like this episode?

We chat with Eternity Martis about her book They Said This Would Be Fun. It was the May Femme Wonk book club pick so we discuss observations from the book club, the book writing process, and what happens next. 

I chat with Anna, co-CEO of Tidal Equality. We discuss various covid-19 policy responses, what this pandemic response has meant for equity, and what we can learn from all of this. 

In this live recorded episode, Katie gets interviewed by Amanda from PoliticsNOW as a part of their InspireNOW series.  Amanda picks Katie's brain about topics like building Femme Wonk, impostor syndrome, what's next, and if 10 year plans are reasonable for millennials. We cover a lot of grounds. Let us know if you struggle with any of the topics we highlight. Thanks to our sponsor, GlassSKY.

COVID-19 has dramatically impacted nearly every single person and their work. One main shift has been a forced work from home. I've been working from home for about a year now, so I partnered with Samantha (samantharoad.com) to chat about best practices, what is still really hard, and what we hope to see stick after the pandemic ends.  I want to thank our sponsor, GlassSKY.
