from Changemaker Q&A · host Humanitarian Changemakers Network
In the world of social change, where ambiguity and competing narratives often dominate, understanding the nature of truth is essential. This episode explores a transformative framework of four types of truth—fiduciary, evidential, expressive-referential, and alethic—that empowers changemakers to engage with complexity, mediate conflicts, and address systemic challenges.Discover how each type of truth provides a unique lens for action: building trust within communities, validating evidence for impactful decisions, honouring diverse perspectives, and uncovering the root causes of social issues. Recognising the plurality of truth doesn’t weaken its value; it enriches our ability to drive meaningful, ethical, and transformative change.📰 Read the accompanying article for this podcast episode here.Join the Changemaker Q&A Community & ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE💬 If you find this podcast valuable, it would really help us out to leave a rating & review wherever you're listening.Social Impact Foundations FREE Training Bundle Follow HCN on Instagram @humanitarianchangemakersFollow Tiyana on Instagram: @tiyanajThe views expressed in this podcast are those of Tiyana J & guests and are not reflective of all members of the Humanitarian Changemakers Network.
