Why Engagement Matters: Rethinking Corporate Governance Through Stakeholders
Corporate governance might sound technical, but it shapes everyday decisions — from the products we buy to the prices we pay. In this episode, Dr Samira Issa explores why stakeholder engagement is at the heart of better decision-making. Drawing on her PhD research at Oxford Brookes University, she shares how companies can move beyond “tick-box” governance to meaningful engagement, and how her practical stakeholder engagement handbook is helping turn complex principles into real-world action.

Moving Through Menopause: How Exercise Supports Health, Confidence and Community
Menopause is a natural part of life - but for many women, it can bring physical, emotional, and social challenges that are still rarely talked about openly. In this episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted, we speak with Dr Anne Delextrat and Dr Adam Bibbey about their research exploring how exercise can support women through menopause - not just physically, but mentally and socially too. From Zumba Gold classes in local communities to innovative workplace-based exercise programmes, they share findings from studies that show improvements in strength, energy, mental wellbeing, motivation, and social connection - particularly for women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. The conversation explores why community, enjoyment, and feeling safe and supported matter just as much as the exercise itself, how workplaces can play a powerful role in wellbeing, and why it’s never too late to start moving - even if exercise feels daunting. Whether you’re experiencing menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in how research can improve everyday lives, this episode offers insight, reassurance, and plenty of inspiration.

Can Fashion Grow Without Costing the Earth? Rethinking Clothing Through Circular Fashion with Dr Rebecca Beech
In this episode of Oxford Brookes Unscripted, Senior Lecturer in Marketing Dr Rebecca Beech takes us inside the world of circular fashion — and why the future of what we wear may depend on renting, repairing and rethinking our relationship with clothes. Drawing on her United Nations PRME research, cross-UK interviews, and comparative analysis of four rental fashion start-ups, Rebecca explores the motivations and barriers behind renting, the role of trust, and how stigma around sustainable choices still shapes everyday behaviour. We discuss the rise of flexible rental subscriptions, how technology like virtual try-on tools could close experience gaps, and why belonging, community and education are crucial to shifting mindsets. From microplastics to mending workshops, policy gaps to AI chatbots, this episode asks: What would a truly circular, sustainable wardrobe look like — and how close are we to getting there?
