Episode 3: Children’s experiences of social media and unsolicited sexual images: Developing Better Digital Literacy
UCL’s Professor Jessica Ringrose shares her research on unsolicited sexual images on Snapchat, a social media platform which plays a central role in the lives of many teens. We discuss how this work uncovered high rates of non-consensual image sharing and led to the establishment of cyber flashing as a new criminal offence in the UK’s 2023 Online Safety Bill. We also explore how collaborating with young people, crime scientists, sex education charities, and policy makers, and the use of participatory arts-based methods, were key to uncovering children’s experiences of social media and achieving more equity and social justice in their lives. Jessica Ringrose is Professor of the Sociology of Gender and Education at UCL’s IOE. For the podcast transcript, details of our other podcasts and activities, visit http://tinyurl.com/mubmxu4n

Episode 2: Off-world living
The practical challenges of surviving harsh environments and limited resources in outer space have long been a focus of space research. But how might asking questions about living differently in space help us meet the challenges of living differently on earth? In this episode, we explore this with Dr Aaron Parkhurst as he discusses his multidisciplinary approach to studying ‘off-world living’. From Martian homes to exercise trampolines and funeral practices, we discuss the benefits of bringing together researchers from anthropology, architecture, art, design, cardiovascular science, molecular biology, psychiatry, and sustainable construction to open thinking about living well and the need, not only to survive, but to thrive. Aaron Parkhurst is an Associate Professor in medical anthropology at UCL. For the podcast transcript, details of our other podcasts and activities, visit http://tinyurl.com/mubmxu4n

Episode 1: Introduction to Together We Create Series 2 - what UCL’s social scientists gain from collaborative partnerships
What do we mean when we talk about collaborative social science? Why is collaborative research useful? What are the standout themes of the collaborative projects featured in this second season of Together We Create? In this episode, we discuss these questions and more with Professor Carey Jewitt, Chair of UCL's Collaborative Social Science Domain. Carey Jewitt is Professor of Technology and Learning at the UCL Knowledge Lab, based in the Department of Culture, Communication and Media at the Institute of Education. She brings her interdisciplinary training from fine art and media, sociology, and multimodal discourse to research how the use of digital technologies shapes people’s interaction, communication, and learning in a variety of contexts.

Wellbeing, COVID-19 and the Future of Workplaces
This seminar is designed to challenge students, researchers, experienced and aspiring workplace practitioners to reimagine the role built spaces play in supporting the twenty-first-century worker, especially in a very challenging period of the ravaging effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. As this pandemic accentuates an already changing workplace philosophy, the workplace must adapt and transform spaces sustainably. Ubiquitous technology now affords the flexible use of spaces, with homes being the primary places of work in a world where spatial fixity no longer characterises the workplace. As such, built environment practitioners must rethink, adapt and realign their strategies to stay relevant as we look ahead Post-COVID.
