If last week’s episode of ‘What Happens Next?’ caused you to reconsider your wardrobe or sent you on a donation run to your local op shop, you won’t want to miss part two of our investigation into the sustainability and ethics of fashion. This week, our expert guests focus on the future we can look forward to if we slow down and make a conscious effort to value our clothes, rather than seeing them as expendable or faddish. The news is good – in response to fast fashion, the slow fashion movement is gaining mo...2022-04-2223 minWhat Happens Next?Is It Time to Rethink Our Wardrobes?You take the bus to work, you turn off the lights when you’re not using them, and you’ve embraced meatless Mondays. You’re doing your part to save the planet. But there’s one massive issue that many of us overlook, even though it surrounds us – textile waste. From furniture and home decor to toy manufacturing, medical supplies and more, textiles are literally the fabric of our lives. Unless you’re a dedicated nudist, you’re covered in them from head to toe. And when it comes to truly making a difference for the planet on an individu...2022-04-1419 minWhat Happens Next?Are There ‘Good’ Trolls?‘Wanted’ posters. Your local neighbourhood watch. CrimeStoppers. There’s a long tradition of citizens assisting law enforcement in reporting illegal activities and identifying criminals. In part one of the ‘What Happens Next?’ podcast’s investigation into digital vigilantism, host Dr Susan Carland and her expert guests examined the ways that behaviour can go awry, sometimes even translating into real-world violence.

Plus, why everyone is acting so…weird. If you think people are behaving worse, from a televised slap to an increase in car accidents, to outbursts of rage, you would be right. And our best and worst moments of the week, which range from budget things to iso and eyeshadow. The End Bits: Recommendations: Jessie wants yo...2022-04-0135 minWhat Happens Next?Does Digital Vigilantism Work?It’s easy to see why the concept of vigilante justice resonates with so many people. In the last few years, social movements from #MeToo to BLM have made us very aware of the wrongdoers who’ve escaped accountability, and the victims who’ve been let down, or even wrongly targeted, by existing systems and laws. But when internet users take matters into their own hands, problems can arise. Across the political spectrum, groups are enacting digital vigilantism to try to right perceived wrongs, and even to exact their own forms of justice. Host Dr Susan...2022-03-3119 minWhat Happens Next?Should We Change How We Think About Fat?Last week on ‘What Happens Next?’, our guest experts served up some unappetising truths about weight loss. Ultimately, our body types are not necessarily dictated by the foods we eat or the amount of exercise we do – it’s all about our genetic makeup. And once we begin to put on weight, getting it off again in a permanent way is almost impossible. In today’s episode, host Dr Susan Carland continues the conversation by asking the things you’ve always wanted to know about weight but have been too afraid to ask. Is there power in using the wo...2022-03-2422 minWhat Happens Next?Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight?Welcome to season six of 'What Happens Next?'. You can’t go anywhere without hearing about the latest fad diet or workout, which often promise miraculously quick – and permanent – results. Does science support them? Is losing weight as simple as exercising more and eating less, or is there more to it? How has our understanding of obesity changed as our grasp on genetics and environmental factors grows stronger? And what’s going on with the way we talk about fat? This season of Monash University’s 'What Happens Next?' kicks off with a conversation...2022-03-1722 minWhat Happens Next?Introducing Season 6Introducing ‘What Happens Next?’ season six Monash University’s multi-award nominated podcast, What Happens Next?, is back with an all-new season of tough challenges and expert guests.

2022-03-0345 minWhat Happens Next?Racism: It Stops With...? (Pt 2)We’re wrapping up this season of What Happens Next? with some hope. The 2020 murder of George Floyd by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin sparked the embers of a long-smouldering conflict centred around racial injustice. The issues of systemic and institutionalised racism that have been brought to light in the wake of the movements that followed this incident can seem overwhelming. As an individual, it’s difficult to know where to start, and to believe it’s possible to make a difference. The Monash University Migration and Inclusion Centre, in collaboration with Welcoming Australia, recent...2021-12-0331 minWhat Happens Next?Racism: It Stops With...?

In this episode, Dr Susan Carland asks some of Australia’s most knowledgeable and sought-after commentators on migration and inclusion about the policies and attitudes shaping society’s approach to immigration. Our guests are Bel Schenk, coordinator at Welcoming Cities Victoria, Rebecca Wickes and Marie Segrave of the Monash Migration and Inclusion Centre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.2021-11-1822 minWhat Happens Next?Why Do Migrants Matter?There’s no doubt about it: Migration has shaped and changed Australia. The country’s history is marked by a series of migrations – the British, the Chinese, the Greeks, the Italians. We’re a nation largely built on the shoulders of those who came here seeking a better life, but we’re still wrestling with what that means for our modern identity. In the first of this two-part series, Dr Susan Carland asks some of Australia’s most knowledgeable and sought-after commentators on migration and inclusion about the policies and attitudes shaping society’s approach to immigration. Our guests tod...2021-11-1119 minWhat Happens Next?Can We Open the Halls of Power?Class inequality is not inevitable, and it’s not too late to change things here in Australia to promote a better experience for all. In our second episode exploring class inequality, Dr Susan Carland asks the experts: How can we change things? How can we ensure that a diverse range of voices occupies equal weight in the halls of power and the rooms where decisions are made?

In this two-episode arc, Dr Susan Carland seeks to answer that question – and understand how we got here. Over the past several decades, Australia’s social stratification has become more pronounced. It’s partially the result of economic trends such as trickle-down theory and the increasing casualisation of employment in the gig economy, but there are other factors at play here. In this series, host Dr Susan Carland sits down with John Thwaites, chair of the Monash Sustainable Development Institute and ClimateWorks Australia; Bri Lee, author of the boo...2021-10-2826 minWhat Happens Next?Is It Time to Join the Psychedelic Renaissance?Attitudes towards psychoactive drugs for the treatment of PTSD are changing, and for good reason – it’s hard to disagree with the evidence of the therapeutic benefits of psychedelic medicines for the treatment of mental illness. Compelling studies are being conducted around the world, several of them here at Monash. And it won’t be long until you see the results of these studies for yourself – experts suggest health care providers could begin prescribing psychedelic drugs for PTSD patients as soon as 2023. In this episode of “What Happens Next?”, Dr Susan Carland talks to Dr Paul Liknaitzky, the principal i...2021-10-2123 minWhat Happens Next?Should We Decriminalise Psychedelics?After years of very little pharmaceutical innovation in the treatment of mental illness, psychiatry is on the verge of something big: Psychedelic medicine is emerging as a game-changer. The evidence of the efficacy of drugs like psilocybin (also known as magic mushrooms) and MDMA, used in conjunction with therapy for illnesses such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, is astounding. And society could use the help – the 2017-18 National Health Survey estimated that 1 in 5, or 4.8 million Australians reported having a mental or behavioural condition, and the impact of the pandemic has only exacerbated the issue. ...2021-10-1429 min
