Listen to the latest podcast episode exploring Inclusive Conversations and Mythology.

Podcast hosts Julian Gwinnett and Kerensa Hodge open this episode with a discussion with Director of Diversity and Inclusion at the University, Adam Vasco, on demystifying the concept of opening up courageous conversations, with the aim of promoting understanding and cultural competence. 

Later in the episode, William Pawlett, Senior Lecturer in Media in the Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences, and Julian discuss the importance of myth and mythology for understanding contemporary society, politics, ideology and culture. Myth and mythology are defined, and topics covered include myths of the consumer society, the rise of far right populism and its exploitation of myth and, also, the possibilities for a new, inclusive eco-mythology.

The discussion is based on William Pawlett's new book, 'Myth, Society and Profanation' to be published by Routledge in October.
