We're back with a new episode of That's the Spirit. In this episode, the Spirit Senior Editorial Team takes you through our favourite articles of Issue #15.

We discussed an exclusive interview with SOAS' new Director, Professor Adam Habib, and recapped his future plans for the university. We went over our International news section, and shared our thoughts on the tragic death of Mohamud Mohammed Hassan following a night in police custody. We also reflected on the ten year anniversary of the Arab Spring, and then moved on to discuss an exciting new photo essay we have in our Features section. Finally, we gave a scathing review of the new Netflix series, Bridgerton, and concluded with conversation about the gender politics of female surfing.

We also interviewed two of our Section Editors to get the scoop for this month, so be sure to give this a listen!
