About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we have Dr. Jane Moraa, a cultural expert and instructor for the Graduate Certificate in Legal Luo Responsibilities. Dr. Moraa, can you tell us about your experience with this course topic? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over two decades researching and teaching about Luo culture and its intersection with legal practices. This course is close to my heart as it bridges the gap between law and culture. HOST: That's fascinating. How does cultural competence play out in the legal field, especially regarding Luo communities? GUEST: It's crucial. Misunderstanding cultural nuances can lead to legal misinterpretations or unfair judgments. Our course helps learners navigate these complexities, ensuring fairness and respect for all parties involved. HOST: Interesting. Could you share some current industry trends related to this? GUEST: Sure, there's an increasing demand for legal professionals who understand cultural diversity. As societies become more multicultural, organizations are seeking experts who can provide culturally sensitive services. HOST: That sounds like a significant challenge. What are some challenges faced in this field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One major challenge is changing the mindset of legal professionals who have been trained within a single cultural context. However, once they see the benefits of cultural competence, they usually become strong advocates. HOST: And finally, where do you see the future of legal practice with respect to cultural competence? GUEST: I believe it will become essential. Just like knowing English is not enough anymore, understanding different cultures will be a necessary skill for any legal professional. Our course prepares students for this future. HOST: Thank you, Dr. Moraa, for sharing your insights. It's clear that the Graduate Certificate in Legal Luo Responsibilities is a timely and valuable offering.
