02: How Do We Know When—and If—We’re Saying the Same Thing?

How do we know when and if we are saying the same thing? Across cultures? Knowledge systems? Values? Even vocabulary? Digging into this concept, we talk with SEARCH co-chair and co-Principal Investigator Vera Kingeekuk Metcalf to hear about her experiences with translation. Vera’s expertise then harmonizes with a conversation with Gifford Wong, Research Staff Member at IDA Science and Technology Policy Institute. Gifford shares insights about the values of effective communication inspired by his research as a glaciologist and an improv theatre performer.
