Marginalised voices are more likely to be excluded from publishing in traditional academic sources. This can be overcome by incorporate non-textual materials such as podcasts, videos, and documentaries alongside traditional academic papers and books. Different media formats often feature interviews, discussions, and testimonies from a diverse range of voices and perspectives that might not be as accessible in traditional texts. These media are often available online, which allows access to content from around the world, broadening students' perspectives and understanding of global issues.
