News, analysis and explanation of higher education issues from our leading team of wonks

Our podcast is back as we look at three new reports that detail the impact of the cost of living crisis on students. Is there more that universities can do as governments continue to ignore the issue?

We also discuss Horizon, research security and foreign policy, and the question of gathering stats on gender-based violence in higher education. Plus hidden history looks at how teacher training troubles impacted where our universities are located.

With Pete Quinn, HE inclusion consultant, Jess LIster, Associate Director Education at Public First, Sunday Blake, Associate Editor at Wonkhe, Mike Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at City, University of London and presented by Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.
