Strong in Theory

For the last episode of the year, we're diving into the thesis writing process, a very timely topic for both of us right now and what's often seen as the most important piece of work in completing a degree.  Tune in for personal experiences and learning curves, as well as a fair dose of frustrations but also rewards along the way.

Today we're tackling the topic of digital privacy, starting from the role your browser can have in it, moving to social media and data footprints online in a broader sense. What can the effects of the use of your data by platform companies be on yourself as an individual, but also on society on a broader level? Why is it important to dig deeper into the meaning of buzzwords thrown around in the media, and how can you be better in charge of your data privacy? Tune in!

In this third episode, Kerttu and Elli jump into the topic of learning and education through a discussion on the invisible gap built between so-said "hard" and "soft" sciences, as well as online and voluntary learning: why are those such a buzz today, how do we use such tools and what are the benefits and downfalls of these trends that might be here to stay?

In this episode, Kerttu and Elli start unpacking the meaning of to-do lists, drifting from the need to be productive on an individual level to the meaning of social structures around us.  We discuss how all that influences the way we perceive our role in society as students and young adults.

How are to-do lists tied to Strong in Theory? What kind of discussions is each of us interested in sharing during our recording sessions? In this first introductory episode, we take a bit of time to open the idea behind starting this podcast, as well as what kind of content you can expect to find in the upcoming episodes.

Elli and Kerttu are two human beings who love discussing life on all its levels. Kicking off from a to-do list item the conversation flows through topics ranging from lived experiences to abstract conceptualizations of society. Join to journey in unpacking daily tasks and life in 2020.
