S1. Ep6. Striking Action




Switchboard show

Summary: <p>Switchboard reflects on the UCU strike action in Lent 2018 which had wide ranging effects across Cambridge from protests to cancelled lectures. We speak to Jana Bacevic on the impact of social media on the strike and social movements in general, Madeleine Wakeman on how the strikes affected disabled students and how minority concerns can be marginalised in student movements. Rosie Bradbury of Varsity tells us about the challenges in covering the strikes in student media, and the importance of understanding different perspectives.</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/switchboard/message
