In episode five of the Research4Good podcast, Professor David Ellis speaks with Dr Lorna Stevens.
They discuss Lorna's research on marketing and feminism, in light of the publication of her new book The Routledge Companion to Marketing and Feminism. Having published the first edition of this text in 2000, she reflects on how feminism has changed in the last twenty years, and generated new conversations around intersectionality, ecofeminism and digital feminism. Lorna also reflects on how social media has brought feminism into the mainstream again, galvanising people to get out into the streets and protest for their rights for the first time in decades.
She considers how these major social changes in the way we approach women's rights have impacted the ways that brands market to us, and our expectations of brands.

In episode four of the Research4Good podcast, Professor David Ellis speaks with Dr Lukasz Piwek.
They discuss Lukasz' research into 'digital traces' - a term which refers to the small 'footprints' of data that we leave behind when we interact with any sort of digital device. As a psychologist, Lukasz is interested in how this data can be used to learn more about people - both individually and societally - and how we can use this information to do good.
They also consider the pitfalls of our hyper-connected lives, and reflect on how we can ensure that data isn't being used to do harm.

In episode one of the Research4Good podcast, Dr David Ellis speaks with Professor Rajani Naidoo about her research.
They discuss Rajani's work looking at higher education management, exploring how universities can be run in order to improve access and inclusion. She also shares her thoughts on the purpose of universities within society, reflecting on their role in the creation of the Covid-19 vaccine - an example which shows how they succeeded but also failed to live up to their responsibility to people around the world.
