    Julia Pond: Work and Labour - Dancing Degrowth

    Julia Pond: Work and Labour - Dancing Degrowth

    In this latest episode of our Work and Labour series we hear from Julia Pond, a transdisciplinary dance artist, teacher and researcher working with political economy. She works with choreography, improvised movement and text, humour, and, sometimes, bread dough, often siting work in public space. Currently, this takes shape in her performance project and fictional company BRED. Julia is a co-initiator of the podcast DanceOutsideDance, and is supported by TECHNE funding for her practice-based PhD research. Her work has most recently been published in Documenta Journal.

    Emma Mitchell: Senses - Scenting story: unlocking olfactory memories of Georgian London

    Emma Mitchell: Senses - Scenting story: unlocking olfactory memories of Georgian London

    In this latest instalment of our 'Senses' series we hear from Emma Mitchell. Emma is an AHRC-funded Creative Writing doctoral researcher at Brunel University London whose work uses archival research and experimental literary forms and practices to reclaim the voices of marginalised women from History.

    Her project focusses on Georgian sex workers and works with contemporary documents, objects and ephemera to generate narratives that place women’s voices front and centre. An ex-school teacher and brand strategist, she has performed worldwide as a comedian, circus and burlesque artist, and is best known for her critically-acclaimed one-woman show, The Naked Stand Up. She’s been featured in The Times, Daily Mail, Scotsman, The Daily Record and even The Sun. She is the producer of Naked Girls Reading, London, and has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Late Night Woman's Hour discussing nudity and her work. Her recent writing has been published by Haunted Girlfriend, Broken Sleep, Steel Incisors and Streetcake Magazine among others.

    Winter Break Episode - Meet the Team

    Winter Break Episode - Meet the Team

    It's the final Technecast of the year! We've had some lovely new members join the Technecast team this year, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to do some introductions. In this casual epsiode, each member of the team answers some questions about themselves and their research. We also discuss our favourite epsiodes from the past year, so it's a bit of Technecast Wrapped, too. We hope you enjoy!


    Correction: In this epsiode we mistakenly describe Vietnamese-American author Ocean Vuong as Korean. We apologise for this mistake.

    If you are interested in sharing your research with us in the new year, you can get in contact via email (technecaster@gmail.com) or on Instagram (@technepodcast).

    Have a wonderful winter break and we'll see you in the new year!
    Take care x
