The Connecting Memories Podcast Series
|
|
In Spring 2020, we announced the launch of the Connecting Memories podcast series.
Given the lockdown in which many of us found ourselves in early 2020, a podcast appeared to present a particularly a promising avenue to pursue in order to continue the Connecting Memories initiative's efforts to connect scholars working on memory across the University of Edinburgh and beyond.
In each episode I, Paul Leworthy, speak to leading academics about memory.
As well as presenting some aspect of their research, each episode's guest speaker will be invited to discuss what the term 'memory' means in the context of their research.
We featured a fantastic range of guest speakers on the first two series of episodes and have many more lined up to participate in future series.
All episodes are available to stream on Spotify (here), on Apple Podcasts (here) and at https://anchor.fm/connectingmemories. Links to listen on Breaker, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic and Google podcasts can all be found on the Anchor page too.
My thanks go to the University of Edinburgh's Institute for Academic Development which generously sponsored this initiative at its inception.
