SoH What?

Hosted by the School of Humanities (SoH) at the University of Westminster, this podcast series accompanies a rotating exhibition of research objects on display in the foyer of our Regent Street Campus. Chosen by our researchers for their relevance to their research expertise and ongoing projects, these objects serve as starting points for interviews recorded by a select team of SoH students. Delve in, discover and dare to be challenged! Intro and Coda Music Courtesy of Tunetank from Pixabay
