In this episode, hosts Carolina and Vidhya dive deep into collectivism in relation to the (neo)liberal ideology of individualism that underpins the nonprofit/nongovernmental industrial complex and evaluation. We invite Naaima Khan, a strategist and evaluator, to discuss the implications of collectivism in the context of structurally-focused analysis and action. The conversation weaves personal reflections, historical definitions, and critiques of language to explore themes of leadership, accountability, and culture. We discuss the need to shift how success is defined, acknowledging the discomfort that often accompanies true collectivism.Episode 10 TRANSCRIPTNotes & References COMING SOON!Music“Inspired” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0Contact usWebsite: https://themay13group.netLinkedIn:Carolina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carodelaNayantara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayantara-premakumarVidhya: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidhyashankerDonate to our podcast!
In this episode, hosts Carolina and Vidhya reflect on our first year building a solidarity economy through this podcast. We connect recent topics—collective knowledge-making, individualism, and the idea of an economy—to each other, evaluation, accountability, and resource distribution. We note the years of work ahead, as today's socio-political situation results from decades of deliberate effort, not recent elections. Grateful for your feedback, we commit to being accessible to everyone fighting within the nonprofit industrial complex.Episode 9 TRANSCRIPTNotesCOMING SOON!ReferencesCOMING SOON!Music“Inspired” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0Contact us Website: https://themay13group.netLinkedIn:Carolina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carodelaNayantara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayantara-premakumarVidhya: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidhyashankerDonate to our podcast!
Sandeep Parikh shares his journey of resilience after being displaced by the LA wildfires, discussing how the disaster tested his strength as a father, husband, and creator while inspiring new approaches to filmmaking and community building.• Surviving the devastating LA wildfires that destroyed over 9,000 structures and left countless homes uninhabitable due to toxic contamination• Co-founding Eaton Fire Residents United to map toxin spread through affected neighborhoods when official support fell short• Maintaining creativity despite compounding challenges to Hollywood from pandemic, strikes, and now natural disasters• Pioneering crowdfunding success with culturally authentic projects like DesiQuest and the upcoming film "Vidhya's Guide for the Afterlife"• Building genuine creative relationships with fellow artists instead of constantly chasing validation from industry gatekeepers• Leveraging community support to maintain creative independence and ownership of artistic properties• Transforming personal trauma into art that connects with audiences seeking authentic representation• Using "all parts of the buffalo" – drawing on diverse experiences from computer science to improv to create unique workWhen the LA wildfires tore through Sandeep Parikh's neighborhood, destroying over 9,000 structures and rendering countless homes uninhabitable from toxic contamination, he faced the ultimate test of resilience. But true to his nature as a creator, he found ways to transform disaster into opportunity.From the ashes of displacement, Sandeep co-founded Eaton Fire Residents United, a grassroots organization mapping the spread of dangerous toxins through affected neighborhoods when institutional support fell short. This community-driven approach mirrors his philosophy as a filmmaker – finding unconventional paths when traditional structures fail.That spirit of innovation has defined Sandeep's career, from his early days breaking ground with web series like "The Guild" and "Legend of Neil," to his current success crowdfunding culturally authentic projects like "DesiQuest" and "Vidhya's Guide for the Afterlife." He reveals the strategic thinking behind these campaigns, including a brilliant live improv show that served as both entertainment and fundraising event.Beyond financial success, Sandeep values the creative independence this model provides. After spending ten years fighting to regain rights to earlier work, he cherishes maintaining ownership of his art while building direct connections with passionate audiences. His journey demonstrates how authentic community building can replace traditional gatekeeping in entertainment.Throughout our conversation, Sandeep shares invaluable wisdom for creators navigating uncertain terrain – the importance of establishing genuine relationships with fellow artists, using "all parts of the buffalo" by drawing on diverse life experiences, and measuring success through depth of audience connection rather than conventional metrics. Even in disaster's wake, he shows how creativity can thrive through resilience, community, and unwavering authenticity.Join this powerful exploration of creative perseverance in the face of unprecedented challenges, and discover how disaster can become a springboard for your most meaningful work yet.Check out Vidhya's Guide for the Afterlife on Kickstarter and follow Sandeep's journey through his Patreon where you can join his community of supportersWebsite: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: spark@postion2.com
In this episode, Carolina and Vidhya engage in dialogue with Justin Laing of Hillombo Consulting to understand the idea of an economy, which is foundational to building a solidarity economy. We delve into the way knowledge—or perhaps narrative—is produced within racial and gendered capitalism and the role evaluation plays for the owning and ruling class. We close with an invitation to imagine what knowledge work could look like, and what individual roles we each may play, in alternative economic structures.If you would like to learn more about Justin, he can be found at www.hillombo.net, @hillombo on Instagram, and using Episode 8 TranscriptCOMING SOON!NotesCOMING SOON!ReferencesCOMING SOON!Music"Inspired" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0Contact UsWebsite: https://themay13group.netCarolina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carodelaNayantara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayantara-premakumarVidhya: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vidhyashanker Donate to our podcast! https://the-may-13-group.raiselysite.com

How do we protect ourselves from being misled online? Counter-terrorism expert Vidhya Ramalingam reveals how disinformation is being weaponized to justify violence — increasingly against climate scientists — and introduces a powerful tool called "prebunking": a proactive approach that empowers people to recognize and reject manipulative messages before they take root.

Summary In this episode, we discuss “The Power of Perspective: Generations of Evaluators Generating Change,” an interactive journey map featured at the 2022 American Evaluation Association conference. Rooted in popular education and critical pedagogy, it highlighted the suppression of critical voices in evaluation and connected participants' lives to a lineage of resistance within the field. We discuss its development, installation, and reception, along with future plans, including digital platforms, workshops, university curricula, and ‘zines. Efforts to enhance accessibility, including language and disability justice, are part of the ongoing collaboration's dreams. Episode 6 transcript Notes COMING SOON! References COMING SOON!

Summary In this episode, thought partner and podcast producer Nayantara Premakumar joins hosts Carolina and Vidhya to reflect and update listeners on our retreat and recent milestones. We share our struggles resisting racial/gendered capitalism through cooperative, decentralized, and transparent governance and ownership structures. This includes a discussion of fiscal sponsorship and technocratic tools for decision-making. We also highlight upcoming changes to the podcast, including efforts to tie together our personal, professional, and political analyses; to acknowledge the lands we've inhabited; and to explicitly prompt reflection and action. Episode 5 transcript Notes 01:30: It was a post on NPOCunicorns | People of Color Nonprofit Professionals, not a Facebook ad 17:21: Is Fiscal Sponsorship Right for You? gets at some of our hesitation. See more on The May 13 Group PODCAST webpage. 21:03: While Caro took the lead on this effort, the list referred to here was actually compiled by the New Economy Coalition's Solidarity Economy Funding Library, which we think we became aware of through the Open Collective. Open Collective allows groups to raise and distribute money in a transparent, decentralized way. See more on the PODCAST webpage. 29:12: “Society at large” is meant to suggest everyday members of society who may not directly participate in the funded and evaluated programs—for example, will they benefit from reduced crime, etc. It is meant to drive a wedge between them and the underclass who do directly participate in funded and evaluated programs. See more on the webpage. 30:24: This understanding does not reflect the most recent research, such as The origins of SWOT analysis | ScienceDirect, which suggests that SWOT was developed by industries that profit by serving the U.S. military's imperial interests and the business model of never-ending war, but it was not necessarily developed by military institutions. It was, however, uncritically adopted by nonprofit organizations despite the nature and ostensible purpose of their work being entirely different. Of course, military responses do have their place (e.g., Black Panthers, Zapatista). 39:09: The expansion is not exactly exponential in that it does not reflect the change between 3 to the 4th power and 3 to the 3rd power. But the expansion is not linear because the increment of growth is not static or consistent—it continually increases.

This episode features Nancy's interview with Vidhya who studies energy supply and demand in the brain
Summary In this episode, Sarah Stachowiak joins Carolina and Vidhya in reflecting transparently on our financial relationship. How does the owning class's control over manufacturing processes and products show up in the knowledge economy and the evaluation of public and nonprofit/ nongovernmental programs? What does it mean for the “raw material” (data about/ from program participants)? For the “independence” of knowledge workers, who market ourselves in terms of how much more value we produce for the people who pay for our goods and services? Can we think of financial exchange differently? How could we organize accountability in knowledge work horizontally across class status—not necessarily around shared experiences of oppression, but rather around shared resistance against it?

In this episode, Carolina and Vidhya reflect on the tension among learning from the past, meeting immediate needs in the present, and both imagining and building a better future. We discuss evaluation's origins as a tool for capital and grapple with our status as members of the professional/ managerial class. Our training and current positionality find uncertainty “risky.” Whose interests do we ultimately serve? Could a solidarity economy offer evaluators a safety net or better fallback position from which to make collective demands—by organizing ourselves or joining existing movements that serve the working class?

Summary In this episode, hosts Carolina De La Rosa Mateo and Vidhya Shanker ask, “why evaluation?” We wonder if evaluation can be a site of resistance against racial/gendered capitalism, when capital developed evaluation to support its interests and continues to control the means and ends of knowledge production. Can evaluators renounce capitalism and positivism to organize against exploitation alongside the working class? Can we refuse to take EEI, DEI, CRE, GEDI, CRT, etc. for granted and change the structure of the knowledge economy? Episode 2 transcript Notes 19:45: Access to the written word provides an advantage only in hierarchical systems that devalue oral traditions and non-written languages and knowledge to justify the displacement of entire bodies of knowledge and ways of knowing and the corresponding domination of entire peoples who are portrayed as primitive or unfit to govern themselves 20:30: (Vidhya's elaboration) Tamil language and culture predate Sanskrit and what people now call Hinduism. But the language that brahmins typically claim is Sanskrit. Though no longer spoken, Sanskrit is still used within Hindu hegemony in much the same way that Latin and Greek are used within European hegemony: to provide authority and legitimacy to specific ideas and practices and to discredit others. 23:15: The only time that there is not an adversarial relationship between workers and management is when workers are management, as in self-governed cooperatives 47:06: There is also the stereotype that Asians only like numbers—cultivated largely through the 1965 Immigration Act 47:47: While this happened in 2020, Vidhya meant the 2016 elections References Rodríguez, D.

Dr. Vidhya Shanker - Radical (Re)imagining S3 E6 Radical (Re)Imagining hosts Tiffany Tovey, & Libby Smith are joined by Vidhya Shanker, PhD, is an interdependent and interdisciplinary evaluation practitioner, scholar, organizer, and activist. Using an intersectional paradigm, her research bridges critical theories of systemic oppression with systems thinking to examine how racialized difference is constructed in and through evaluation. She puts the result of that research into practice to interrogate, identify, and articulate the processes that reinforce—and disrupt—oppressive power dynamics in, through, and around evaluation and the racially stratified industries that use its services. This year we've chosen to focus a little less on how the work gets done and a little more on who we are in the work. That translates to ongoing attention to how we're showing up and purposeful self-examination. We hope our conversations and guests inspire you to do just that. We discussed the following resources: Learn more about the May 13th Group and the rest of Vidhya's work here. Readings from Sara Ahmed Readings from Arturo Escobar Join the conversation.

When we initially recorded this episode in June of 2021, our host Vidhya Iyer and Jennifer Zeitler - Founder and CEO of Let's Goat Buffalo, really connected and promised to visit each other. But little did either one of them know that in a year their paths would cross again - when Vidhya and her family relocate to Buffalo, NY. The two met for the first time this summer, but bonded like old friends. In honor of our new home and friend we decided to re-air this episode - Let's Goat Buffalo.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Let's Goat Buffalo employs rescued goats to eat unwanted vegetation growth!

We chat with the bubbly Jennifer Zeitler - Founder and CEO of Let's Goat Buffalo, on how she transitioned from Human Resources to goatscaping. The term "goatscaping" means grazing goats to manage vegetation growth in an environmentally sound manner. Goatscaping greatly reduces the use of toxic herbicides, and because the goat digestive process effectively sterilizes seeds and reproductive plant matter, they are an ideal treatment for invasive plants. Let's Goat Buffalo offers grazing services within suburban, urban and rural environments. By choosing natural treatment, Let's Goat customers are choosing healthier soil, increased biodiversity, and a greener future. Jennifer Zeitler collaborated with a goat dairy farm Alpine Maid and rescued the goats to bring a sustainable solution to remove overgrown brush and weeds. She was also made a How I Built This, fellow, in 2021 by NPR. Come listen now to her journey.Share this episode with ONE friend!https://www.letsgoatbuffalo.com/https://www.mindfulbusinessespodcast.com/

As we look at playing with the ATLs, I'm reminded of my friend Vidhya. She is a passionate PYP educator from India. If you are on Twitter in the education community, you have probably run across her many tweets. Ever since last summer, she has opened my eyes to so many possibilities in seeing learning and teaching. In a recent chat, Vidhya and I were discussing this challenge and the role of the ATLs. She will share some of the personal connections her learners made with the ATLs. For a written blog post and other resources, visit: https://thinkchat2020.weebly.com

Welcome to another episode of B2B Marketing & More with Pam! Meet my guest, Vidhya Ravi, a UX Design Researcher at Cash App who transitioned into UX research from marketing several years ago. In this episode, Vidhya is going to share how her diverse background in marketing and strategy helps her shape perspective and work in UX research. In this episode: What UX stands for and what do UX designers do at Cash App? How to work with the product development team to develop features and user requirements? How to bring personal experience to the front and the whole product life cycle? What are the most common and effective approaches to design? How does a group of UX designers work together and share the insights with the product team? What tools do UX designers use to drive the brainstorming? Best practices for marketing people to work with and get to know UX designers? How can marketing and UX designers improve their collaboration? What are the key design elements sales and marketing people should be aware of? Quotes from the episode: "We spend time using different research methodologies to better understand our customers and our users. So that includes an understanding of them, attitudinally, understanding their mindset, understanding their behaviors. " "One thing that marketers can do that would be really helpful is building relationships with people on the UX side. Even if they're not working together, understand what they do, their work, the design challenges they're facing. Because they have this in-depth understanding often driven by UX research of the customer currently using the product and many things regarding value proposition or what features are working well for customers.

My guest this week is Vidhya Ramalingam, CEO and Founder of Moonshot, a company that uses technology to identify people at risk of violent extremism. Moonshot repurposes target advertising methods to intervene by connecting those people with humans who can help."If it's human connections that are gonna get people out of these movements, then actually facilitating those connections (...) that's something that we can replicate and we can scale," Ramalingam said.Her journey to founding Moonshot is pretty unique. She started by attending white nationalist rallies in Sweden and having personal conversations with people involved in the movements. She was surprised by what she learned.

We're continuing with a double dose of "Mira, Royal Detective" — Jimy Shah & Vidhya Iyer are writers for Season 2 of the new Disney Junior animated series. While Shah and Iyer had vastly different journeys to get where they are today, they both had to maneuver their families' less-than-ideal reactions to their chosen careers. It was refreshing to hear how, years later, they have matured to rationalize those reactions. We hope their stories will provide comfort and hope for aspiring writers tuning in.
