Culture, Environment & Dialogue
Insights & Dialogue series
Roundtables, podcasts and documentaries putting waste, mental health, feminism and menstrual dignity into recorded public conversation.
The Insights & Dialogue series exists so that the subjects programmes raise do not stay inside programme rooms. Recorded conversations cover waste, mental health, feminism, menstrual dignity and women's resilience.
Alongside the recordings, HISCUS convenes academic roundtables, including one on gendered violence in 2024, and ward-level discussions such as the Ward 3 waste-management discussion in 2025.
