An examination of disability from a physical and mental health perspective. Often the representation of disability is overlooked in the mainstream understanding of representations, with lots of on the other identity markers. In this episode we talk about why disability is often ignored and some examples of campaigns which have tried to challenge the stigma behind mental illness and what has been done over the last decade to promote mental health and healthier attitudes towards mental well being.

A cracking episode looking at the discourse around gender. An examination of how our understanding of gender has changed over time and has changed in language and how that has informed our understanding of dominant ideas of masculinity and femininity. A must listen for any GCSE student in Y10 or Y11, lots of great wider contextual knowledge which can help you really improve your analysis in text which picks up on issues of gender roles, gendered expectations and what does it mean to be male and female.

In conversation with: Mr Hoare and Geography

In this opening episode we talk about the impact of deprivation and definitions of poverty from a 'Human Geography' and 'Sociology' point of view. We cover definitions of the key terms, how these terms are measured currently as well exploring the current UK attitudes toward the idea of deprivation and ideas of 'levelling up'. Great episode for anyone in Y11 of the GCSE for both of these subjects, as well in Y9 thinking about subjects might link together when thinking about subject choices.
