Darkness: Dr Anna Souhami
Episode 1
|Season 1
0:00
Our first episode is about darkness with Dr Anna Souhami, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Edinburgh.
Anna takes us on an audio trip to Shetland, around 200 miles north of the Scottish mainland, where she researched policing on the periphery and discovered how the dark skies loomed large in people’s daily lives.
“It struck me even on that first day; the sea and the weather and the light and the darkness was so fundamental and central to life in Shetland, and how could they not be to policing on Shetland also?”
Host: Dr Alistair Fraser
Produced and edited by Rachelle Cobain and Mark Cunningham

Seldom has there been a time in history where human connection has meant more, but can we stay connected with one another and our work under these conditions?
When we think about translation we usually think of translating from one language to another but research is an act of translation too. Often you are translating an experience, a conversation or observation into quotes and tables. Maybe there’s a better way of doing this?
