Listen to the podcast brought to you by the International Research Network for the Study of Science & Belief in Society

Welcome to our sound library – listen to the trailer

During 2020 lockdown, Dr Will Mason-Wilkes, Dr James Riley and Dr Rachael Shillitoe caught up with Network members from around the world to discuss their research and their academic journeys. In this first series, we speak to researchers based in the USA, UK, South Africa, India and Australia. We discuss the insights that various disciplines can bring to the study of science and belief in society, including history, quantitative and qualitative sociology, social psychology and media studies.

In episode one (launch date 20 October 2020) Professor Fern Elsdon-Baker introduces us to the International Research Network for the Study of Science & Belief in Society and explains its importance.

A new episode will follow every month. See launch dates in the images below, and click on the name in the image to be directed to the podcast.
