From Uta Hagen to Higher Education: Challenging privilege and exclusion in acting and academia with Onur Orkut
In this episode, Felipe Sánchez interviews Onur Orkut, a doctoral researcher in higher education at Lancaster University. Onur discusses his research piece published as a working paper by CHERE@LU (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/educational-research/research/centre-for-higher-education-research-and-evaluation/), where he engages in a fictional conversation with Uta Hagen, inspired by her book "Respect for Acting."

A new relational employability approach for universities with Elizabeth J. Cook
In this episode, Janja Komljenovic (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/educational-research/people/janja-komljenovic) talks with Elizabeth J. Cook (https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizcook/), who is a Senior Analyst, Strategy and Performance at Edith Cowan University and a doctoral researcher in the PhD in Higher Education, Evaluation and Enhancement (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/educational-research/study/phd/phd-in-higher-education-research-evaluation-and-enhancement/#) at Lancaster University (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/). Elizabeth talks about her doctoral research, which developed and implemented a new relational employability approach for universities. She describes her conceptualisation of relational employability as a broader, holistic and interconnected understanding of employability that incorporates three equally important elements: (1) basic individualistic career development, career management and careers (getting into the workforce and having a successful career to benefit oneself); (2) humanistic interactions and contributions throughout careers; and (3) more-than-human interactions and contributions throughout careers. Elizabeth explains how she conducted this research, using design research methodology and mixed methods, and describes her publishing adventures while being a student at Lancaster, with some publishing tips that may benefit other doctoral researchers.
