Episode 4 - Olivia Durand & Paula Larsson (Uncomfortable Oxford): 'Oxford’s Uncomfortable Past’

Olivia and Paula like to challenge traditional interactions with cityscapes and reveal hidden histories through 'Uncomfortable' walking tours.

This project has transformed the traditional walking tour into a critical pedagogy of urban landscapes.

With extreme opinions on the rise, academics have an obligation to bring their research out into the public space to encourage dialogue, critical thinking, and empathy. Through Uncomfortable Oxford, Paula & Olivia have designed a method for deflating emotional tensions that surround uncomfortable histories, directing dialogue towards a productive middle ground.
