Between, Across, and Through
Hosted by Professor Kevin Lewis O’Neill and produced by Ianeke Romero, Between, Across, and Through presents a series of conversations with scholars from across the humanities and the social sciences. This podcast discusses their research, and how seemingly innocuous practices or events (like fashion or reality TV), can ripple into the complex dynamics of politics, culture and society.
The podcast has been approved and is live on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, Audioboom, Castbox, and TuneIn.
