On this episode of ‘It's Just Research: Critically Questioning the world we live in,' hosts Liam Cini O'Dwyer and Dr Sara Black discuss Sara's PhD research into critical geography and the sociology of trust.This conversation explores how education is deeply tied to social justice through the lens of time and space. Dr Black explains how schools act as a microcosm of our relationship with the state, revealing broader patterns of mistrust in public institutions. She also unpacks how critical geography helps us understand who benefits from education and who is left behind, touching on issues of wealth, class, and access. The discussion also delves into how poverty manifests in time—how far ahead someone can plan their future—and how this affects everything from school applications to daily commutes.Follow us:Instagram: @itsjustresearchpodcastTwitter: @justresearchpodEmail: justresearch-ecs@kcl.ac.ukWebsite: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/its-just-research-an-ecs-podcastHosted on Acast.

Nina Planck tells us about doing farmers markets as a kid growing up on Wheatland Vegetable Farms in Northern Virginia in the 70s and 80s, and how that experience led to her starting a series of farmers markets in London, England. We talk about how growers can optimize their own farmers markets, emphasizing the need for them to expand their offerings beyond fruits and vegetables to include meat, dairy, seafood, wine, and anything else produced locally.We also talk about how ideas and recipes from some of Nina's books, including The Farmer's Market Cookbook and The Real Food Cookbook, can help market shoppers who are not used to cooking with whole foods break out of the routine of using processed foods. Zooming out, we discuss the impact of agricultural subsidies on the food system, and talk about how to re-make the industrial food chain with local foods values. Connect With Guest:Website: www.LFM.org.ukWebsite: www.NinaPlanck.comInstagram: @NinaPlanckX: https://x.com/ninaplanck Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Do you have more tasks on your farm than you have time?

Here are some key learnings from the episode:Evidence-Based HR (EBHR): The concept of EBHR is based on using multiple sources of evidence, structured approaches, and high-quality, relevant data, originating from practices in medicine.Challenges and Benefits of EBHR: EBHR faces challenges like new fads and the need for quick fixes, but it enhances decision-making and HR credibility when aligned with business goals.Application of EBHR in Practice: Effective EBHR involves identifying business problems first and using real-world examples from Uber and Shell to illustrate its application.The Role of AI in HR: AI can analyze large HR datasets but requires human judgment to interpret results and make informed decisions based on high-quality data.Addressing Fear and Resistance: Overcoming fear in HR involves embracing failures as learning opportunities and fostering a culture of questioning and critical thinking.Find your ideal candidate with our job vacancy system: https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/919cf6b9eaSign up to the HR L&D Newsletter - https://jgarecruitment.ck.page/23e7b153e7Connect with Professor Rob Briner:Email: rob@crforum.co.ukWebsite: https://www.crforum.co.uk/Connect with Nick Day:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickday/Of course, if you are an HR or L&D professional listening to this podcast and you have an HR, HRIS or L&D related vacancy that you would love some specialist HR recruitment support with – please also get in touch with me!
