Speaking of Research: The SCDTP Podcast

by The South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership

Speaking of Research is the official podcast from the ESRC South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP). Hosted by Research Podcasts’ Catherine McDonald, the show showcases cutting-edge social science research and explores how academic studies generate real-world impact beyond academia. Featuring in-depth conversations with researchers, industry pioneers, and community advocates, Speaking of Research highlights how early-career research tackles critical societal and global challenges. What to expect in each series: Series 3: In Dialogue with Stakeholders (Current Series) Expanding into longer form video episodes, this series explores collaborative research from the outset. SCDTP doctoral researchers sit down alongside their stakeholders, community partners, and lived-experience advocates who shape their work to ask how and why their research can make a difference. From blue space accessibility for visually impaired swimmers to digital narrative ownership among migrant women, these episodes show what co-created methodology, stakeholder engagement, and community accountability look like in practice. Series 2: Global Challenges Focused on social science research addressing pressing global issues. Doctoral researchers unpack their work on policy, sustainability, and social equity, detailing how academic research helps inform solutions to global crises. Series 1: Research with Impact Recorded on location at Cumberland Lodge, our debut audio series introduces doctoral researchers across the SCDTP network as they discuss their research journeys and aspirations for societal change.
