    Insight into the researcher-volunteer relationship

    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!

    Gender and Sexual Harassment - a conversation with Simran Kalra

    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.
