The GoodCast The GoodCast

This week, we spoke to Goodenough members Parinaaz Jalali and Adam Christianson.  Adam recently took part in Parinaaz's research study looking at how the body responds to inflammation. Both members had interesting views to share about their experience in research and the dynamics of the researcher-volunteer relationship.  Good listen for any current or future study coordinators and researchers out there! 

This week in preparation for the exciting upcoming "Sex Week" at Goodenough, I  spoke to Tamar Geist, who co-heads up Queerenough - Goodenough's very own LGBTQ society.  Tamar  is a talented musician and active 3rd year member at GC who is doing her  PhD in Music, investigating gender and the female voice with relation  to music and singing.

Sex Week is a week where GC members discuss and promote diversity of sexual choices, sexuality and gender. For a full list of events happening this week check out the square: https://square.goodenough.ac.uk/whatson/ 

Sexual harassment is ubiquitous and can be a very challenging topic to deal with. In this Podcast I interview Simran Kalra, who is currently doing her PHD on domestic violence in the UK. We discuss her background in India, her experience in London and Goodenough College, and her work in the Gender Chapter Society. The second half of the interview focuses on sexual harassment and the gendered nature of the conversation particularly around the response to an incident outside Goodenough several months ago.    

We speak to the Bloomsbury Opera cast and crew, who are putting on a spectacular version of the famous Cosi Fan Tutte which will be on show on the 12th and 14th February in the Great Hall here at Goodenough.
Take a listen to hear all of the ins and outs of the upcoming show! Only good things to come!

We speak to the ever enlightening Caroline Persaud, registrar of Goodenough College and all round guru all things Goodenough and Bloomsbury! Caroline sheds some light on the application process of becoming a GC member and busts some mysterious myths around college life! This is a must-listen-to episode for members and potential new students that are thinking of applying to join the wonderful GC community! http://www.goodenough.ac.uk/

Alex and Storm speak to Sociology PhD student, Adam Christianson about the synergistic effect of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis). PrEP helps prevent the transmission of HIV infection - in other words; "birth control for HIV".
