In this episode, Emily speaks with Dr Joseph Ramanair on his journey as an academic. What was it like doing a PhD many years ago and having to go through every book in the library for research compared to now in the age of the internet where everything is at your fingertips? We also discuss normalising technology in the classroom and how learners are more skilled with their devices today, although new challenges arise such as the importance of privacy and email etiquette. Finally, we talk about how Dr Joseph maintains a healthy lifestyle despite his busy schedule and, of course, pop the secret Cheeky Academic question at the end.
