ISKME Presents 'Educating to Be Human', Hosted by Lisa Petrides

The Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) is proud to present Educating to Be Human, a podcast hosted by ISKME founder and CEO Lisa Petrides. This podcast brings together influential voices from education, technology and culture to spark conversations that inspire reflection and action.

Born out of ISKME’s commitment to participatory, equitable, and open learning, Educating to Be Human serves as a platform for thought leaders and changemakers to share their insights on how education can create a more humane world. Each episode features in-depth discussions with guests who challenge conventional thinking, explore new perspectives, and reimagine how education can teach the skills, values, and curiosity that help us thrive as individuals and as a society.

“Our goal is to elevate stories and conversations that provoke thoughtful inquiry,” says Petrides. “By weaving together diverse viewpoints, we aim to inspire listeners to think deeply and act meaningfully in their own communities.”

Educating to Be Human covers a wide range of topics—from reimagining education and the role of technology to examining cultural narratives that shape our understanding of humanity. The podcast is available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify, with new episodes released every other Tuesday.

Whether you’re an educator, student, policymaker, or simply passionate about the intersection of education, culture, and technology, we invite you to join the conversation.
