The #UofGEngage Podcast

In this episode, Zara Gladman (University of Glasgow), Monique Campbell (University of Glasgow), Cat Tabbner (Glasgow Centre for Population Health) and Judy Wasige (University of Glasgow) discuss the background behind creating a new resource, Community Engagement: An Exploration.

This self-guided, open access resource is open to everyone inside and outside of the university. You can visit the course at this address. All feedback welcome.

In this episode, Zara is joined by the University of Glasgow's Research Impact Manager Rose-Marie Barbeau and Research Impact Officer Bhoomi Gor. From powerful personal stories to the sometimes divisive legacy of the REF, we explore what 'impact' means to them.
