Being Human episodes
- Socially Distanced?
In this week’s episode, host Dr Jennifer Cearns is joined by Professor Noel Salazar (University of Leuven), Dr Costanza Currò (University of Helsinki), and Dr Julius-Cezar MacQuarie (Central European University) to discuss the idea of ‘social distancing’: a term many of us have suddenly become familiar with in the light of COVID-19. What does it mean to socially distance oneself? What does that look like? And what are the ramifications of this at a societal and individual level? In this episode we set out to unpack some of these questions.
Our guests come to these questions from some pretty diverse research backgrounds:
- Prof. Salazar’s research focuses upon ideas of mobility and immobility, which you can read more about here: https://soc.kuleuven.be/immrc/cumore
- Dr Currò’s research interests also look at ideas of 'being stuck'. Her current work looks at hospitality in prison, as part of the ERC-funded project “Gulag Echoes in the ‘multicultural prison”, which you can find out more about here: https://blogs.helsinki.fi/gulagechoes/
- Dr MacQuarie’s work considers groups of people who are marginalised from mainstream society through their working practices. His research centres upon ‘night ethnography’, which you can find out more about here: https://nightworkshop.myportfolio.com/
