A podcast to showcase some of the best social science research in the North East of England and Northern Ireland from institutions across the NINE Doctoral Training Partnership, including the Universities of Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Teesside, Ulster, Sunderland, and Queen’s Belfast. A selection of social scientists present their ideas and findings on a broad range of topics that can be relevant to businesses in many ways. We hope these conversations will bring research to a new audience and inspire something in you.
