Next Episode

Introducing... the team

For the fourth episode of ‘It’s Just Research: Critically questioning the world we live in’, we are talking to none other than the team who create the podcast. Dr Sara Black, Pippa Sterk, Liam Cini O'Dwyer and Sylvie Carlos are sharing their research topics and interests.

Expect Sara to nostalgically look back into her PhD research on social inequality in South Africa. Pippa focuses on her current research that looks into LGBT+ communities in Higher Education. Liam's research complements Pippa's looking into issues of inclusion and participation from LGBTQ+ youth in science education. And Sylvie steps away from education looking into society, and specifically how the radio and podcast industry create content for Black audiences.
