Show Details

Welcome to the Let’s Talk: Life in Lockdown series of podcasts from the UoE and Edinburgh Student Association, keeping us together and sharing experiences in this extraordinary period of Covid19 social distancing. The University is continuing, but in ways never before known. Most of us are working and studying away from University buildings, and in isolation from one another. We are all in this together, but in vastly diverse circumstances, and it is so interesting to hear from one another about these.

I’m Harriet Harris, The University Chaplain, and in each short interview week I’m joined by students or staff of the University who talk about what they are doing in the lockdown, from being fast-tracked into medical practice, supporting NHS staff with childcare, returning to a ‘silent’ household with profoundly deaf parents, meeting the sudden imperative to deliver all teaching online, being in Edinburgh with family abroad, being abroad with family in the UK, having COVID19 in the household, and more.

We also talk in each interview about how the distancing and self-isolating is affecting us: what are the challenges for us, and what are the new discoveries, what are we leaning about our mental health and wellbeing, and what is happening for us that might never have happened otherwise?

I’ve loved having these conversations with our wonderful students and staff, who have been so open, thoughtful, reflective, everyone has given something personal, and we’ve learned a lot together.
