The intended audience of the Vice-Chancellor’s podcast series is anyone who wants to get behind the scenes at Uppsala University.

“The series will take a broad view, with a blend of topical issues and exciting research and history,” says Anders Hagfeldt, Vice-Chancellor of Uppsala University. “I’ll be choosing who I talk to out of my own curiosity rather than based on policy or politics.”

At the time of writing there have so far been two episodes of the Vice-Chancellor’s podcast series. In one episode, Vice-Chancellor Anders Hagfeldt discusses dialects and sociolects with Margareta Svahn, Professor of Scandinavian Languages. Another episode with Mattias Jakobsson, professor at the Department of Organismal Biology, deals with human evolution and origins.

“I hope that the Vice-Chancellor’s podcast series can act as a bridge between different research disciplines and activities in Uppsala University. As one of many ways to inspire interdisciplinary research and collaborations in various forms.”
