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

This week on the podcast we’ve got a clutch of highlights from Wonkfest.

We consider how universities can build back higher, bridge the digital divide and inject care in the university community. We also think about the university of the high street and consider how we might create a stronger sense of belonging on campus.

With Mark Leach, Editor in Chief at Wonkhe, Smita Jamdar, Partner and Head of Education at Shakespeare Martineau, and Jim Dickinson, Associate Editor at Wonkhe.

Plus contributions from Mike Ratcliffe, Academic Registrar at Nottingham Trent University, Simone Buitendijk, Vice Chancellor of the University of Leeds, Hillary Gyebi-Ababio, vice president for higher education at NUS, Steven Spier, Vice Chancellor of Kingston University, Janice Kay, Provost at the University of Exeter, Kate Tapper, leadership coach, Becky Thomson, President at Christ Church Students Union, Joe Cooper, Deputy Director for HR at Imperial College, and Sunday Blake, President of University of Exeter Students’ Guild.
