In this episode I talk to Professor Emma Bell of Savoie University in France.
We explore the idea of soft authoritarianism, and how this concept can be used to examine British politics in the 20th century through to present day.
The discussion covers:

She has published widely in the UK and France on authoritarianism in the British State in journals such as the Observatoire de la Société Britannique, Race and Class, Theoretical Criminology and Socialism and Democracy. She is also a founding editor of the journal Justice, Power and Resistance. Her current research focuses on new forms of democracy and challenges to state authoritarianism.

This episode is the second of a two-part episode with award-winning technologist and online media personality Meredith Castles. In the first part we explored Meredith’s kinesthetic memory and her arts background. This time round we focus more on her work in Technology and how she combines arts with science to communicate science to the public.
Meredith Castles is a lecturer and PhD candidate at the University of Tasmania. We discuss her unique blending of the arts and sciences to communicate science to the masses. From movies and television acting to theatre, writing and currently livestreaming science entertainment content to thousands, Meredith’s arts background fuels her science research where she investigates how people can be more deeply involved in the technology designs of the future rather than removed from it.
