Commissioned by the Centre of Economic Cultures at Manchester University, we produced the podcast series: ‘Living on the Edge: Experiences and Responses to Europe’s Changing Borderlands’. A project funded by the British Academy and the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the podcast aims to shed light on our understanding of the UK’s international challenges – past, present and future – and to further cross-learning between academic, policy, practitioner and public communities on issues that are topical, under-explored or necessitate re-framing.
We produced a series of podcast episodes and a final film displaying the case studies and outcomes of the project. The project academics wished to turn their research paper into a dynamic film that would be accessible to the general public, government funding bodies, and other academic institutions – provide a crucial keystone of the university’s outreach programme taking academic research into the public arena.
