Podcast

Remember Your Body is a podcast that helps researchers to understand the body as a source of knowledge and how it can help them in their research. In the first series, Eline Kieft talks to academics who pioneer the body as a research tool in anthropology. In the second series, Doerte Weig talks about how our bodies can be related in a broader way to the fields of anatomy, economics, environment, architecture, mobility and systems thinking.
