Scholarly Conversations

In this episode back, we are joined with Blessing and Glory to discuss the UK education system as we experienced it.

In this episode of Scholarly Conversations, we talk about sexual harassment in the media, on the streets, and elsewhere. We think about the causes of this epidemic, as well as potential ways of going about solving the issue. We also come across some rather controversial opinions...

The forth episode of the podcast, ‘The one without a structure’ is a candid episode where different conversations are had about different issues. The different topics of conversation ranged from: is the government to blame? What is Youth safety? What are the problem with the education system? Hair!

In this episode, we try to understand what people mean when they say cultural appropriation. This episode inspired by the story of 18 year old Keziah Daum who received backlash after wearing a traditional Chinese dress called a ‘Qipao’ to her high school prom. We were interested in if the backlash was justified or just further attempts of political correctness at play. This topic took us from slavery to diversity and power imbalance. The scholarly team increases as we welcome Ife and Imaree to the podcast. For more information follow the podcast on Instagram @scholarlyconvo

In this episode recorded at the London Black Pride 2018, we have a conversation about religion and sexuality. Are they two different entities or can they coexist? Questions we attempt to answer in this episode. Follow the podcast on Instagram @scholarlyconvos

The Deception of Makeup-A feminist Act? If women don't wear makeup, it is considered "brave". If they wear too much makeup, they are asking for too much attention or the wrong type of attention. Why and when did beauty and sexism become intertwined? Can wearing makeup ever be a feminist tool or act? That is the topic of conversation on the show's first episode with Yinka and Sadia.
