For this third episode of the Class Ceiling podcast, we spoke to Professor Chris Downey, Associate Dean Education for the Faculty of Social Sciences, whose research interests centre around the social context of education, developing our understanding of the relational capital of students, educators and educational leaders. Chris is interested in researching the role of the support networks of students around key transition points in their studies and particularly fascinated by the roles of those who span the boundaries that exist between groups and communities. We also spoke to Michelle Lin and Shannon Brazil, both undergraduate students at University of Southampton and active members of the University of Southampton Social Mobility Network. As well as Social Mobility Network staff member, Shanel Munnoch who shared her unique perspective of working and living in the University of Southampton community area. We hope you enjoy listening and that some of the subjects we cover will help and support an increased sense of inclusion and belonging amongst staff and students at University of Southampton Please sit back and enjoy the third episode of the Class Ceiling podcast.
