Family: Dr Cara Jardine
Episode 1
|Season 2
0:00
Our colleague, or should that be ‘sister’ of SCCJR, Dr Cara Jardine, Senior Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, joins our host Ali Fraser to help kick off Season 2 of the Just Humans podcast.
Cara’s research focuses on the impact of imprisonment on family and relationships and recently published her book, ‘Families, Imprisonment and Legitimacy: The Cost of Custodial Penalties’.
Cara and Ali talk about family as a verb, what prisons can do to help families connect and we hear Sophie’s story who is a young mum trying to keep her family together while Kian is in prison.
Special thanks to Bella McOuat who voiced the words of Sophie’s story,
Hosted Dr Alistair Fraser, Director of SCCJR
Produced & Edited by Rachelle Cobain, Communications Officer at SCCJR.

We used to say look at the stars to feel how small you are, today we need just look at our phones. As we type into them the network pulses and our secrets are hoarded by the algorithm. We must ask, are we human or are we data?
Some of us have started to return to the office and in doing so we are relearning how to connect with our colleagues and professional networks.
SCCJR besties Lisa and Nughmana first met when doing their PhD's at the University of Glasgow and soon found they had a lot in common; their research interests, having busy home lives with young kids, wanting to do academia differently and a shared love of chatting over cake and coffee.
