    E-Dilemmas: Ethical and Humanistic Challenges in Digital Nursing with Dr Marion Waite, Professor Vanessa Heaslip and Dr Louise Stayt

    In this episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted, we sit down with Dr. Marion Waite, Professor Vanessa Heaslip, and Dr. Louise Stayt to explore the ethical and human dimensions of digital nursing. At the frontline of digital transformation, our guests reflect on identity, inclusion, and the evolving role of technology in care. From the impact of social media on professional identity to the risks of excluding vulnerable populations in digital service design, the episode unpacks how nurses navigate a rapidly changing healthcare landscape. Drawing on their co-authored book chapter, the team calls for more inclusive, ethical, and user-informed approaches to digital innovation. Their message is clear: one size does not fit all, and nurses must have a seat at the digital table.

    Lines of Resistance: Saving Artistic Communities and Challenging Artwashing Practices in the Post-industrial City with Erkin Kurtoglu

    In this special episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted, we speak with Erkin Kurtoglu – a former co-host of this very podcast – whose PhD research explores how artists navigate regeneration, gentrification, and displacement in the post-industrial city. Drawing on in-depth analysis and immersive fieldwork, Erkin introduces us to two London neighbourhoods at different stages of transformation, unpacking what he calls the Artists’ Feedback Loop and his newly coined concept of passive artwashing. We explore how artists are often the first to settle in abandoned industrial spaces, inadvertently driving up cultural capital – and eventually, rents. But when the regeneration machine moves in, these same artists are displaced. Erkin highlights the difference between council estate regeneration and post-industrial contexts, offering a new framework rooted in stakeholder collaboration and grassroots activism. If you're interested in urban sociology or gentrification studies, this episode offers a compelling deep dive into the tensions and possibilities shaping the transformation of post-industrial neighbourhoods.

    From Beats to Harmony: How Our Music Preferences Evolve with Age with Shannon Skeffington and Dr Adam Lonsdale

    Oxford Brookes PhD Student in Psychology, Shannon Skeffington and her project supervisor Dr Adam Lonsdale explore how our relationship with music changes as we age. While younger people often gravitate towards energetic genres, research shows that as we grow older, we tend to prefer more relaxing styles like classical and jazz. Additionally, our overall engagement with music declines over time, potentially due to busier lifestyles and a reduced need for emotional expression through music. Join us as we dive into the findings of a new study that investigates music preferences across a wider age range and seeks to uncover the factors behind this shift in music engagement.

    In this episode, we speak with Dr Bryan Tang, Educational Projects Manager at Think Through Nutrition and KTP Associate at Oxford Brookes University, about the critical role of nutrition in prisons. Bryan shares insights from TTN, OBU and Ministry of Justice nutrition pilot, which uses LANAH – a virtual nutrition education platform – to support healthier eating and better rehabilitation outcomes behind bars. We explore the barriers to better prison food, the challenges of driving change in the system, and why this work is changing how we think about food, health, and hope in the justice system.

    Prophets of the Earth: Rethinking Dragons, Humanity and the Anthropocene with Kam Zeb

    In this thought-provoking episode, PhD researcher Kam Zeb delves into the rich symbolism of dragons in mid-19th to early 20th century literature - and how these mythical beings challenge our understanding of what it means to be human. Drawing on posthumanist theory, Kam explores dragons as complex figures that blur the boundaries between nature, technology, morality and identity. From Siegfried’s blood-soaked metamorphosis to mechanical dragons of the modern age, this conversation invites listeners to rethink humanity’s place in the world - and imagine a more connected future. Correction: When discussing Beowulf, Kam said that the word 'geniwad' was a hapax, but he has since discovered that it is actually a triplex - used twice in the form geniwod and one as geniwad.
