In this episode, Jasmine Jones discusses the medieval origins of educational institutions in 21st-century Britain. In response to coronavirus lockdowns which have disrupted the education of millions of people around the world, Jasmine looks at monasteries, universities, and schools which helped create the places we have missed so dearly during the past year. 

Jasmine Jones is a master's student in English at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.
