The future of higher education today:

Sofia 00:00:03:14

the new podcast bringing people together

Sofia 00:00:05:11

to talk about the biggest issues facing universities.

Alla 00:00:07:27

Life has changed, of course,

Alla 00:00:09:28

the life of our university and the life of each Ukrainian,

Alla 00:00:13:06

because we had to face the biggest challenge

Alla 00:00:15:18

in our life: the war.

Amy 00:00:17:01

When I was younger, I never thought

Amy 00:00:18:21

I would go to university,

Amy 00:00:20:01

because I just thought: ‘I'm not smart enough’.

Hanna 00:00:22:11

I think the easiest thing

Hanna 00:00:23:13

for universities to do is just acknowledge it as a problem.

Hanna 00:00:25:18

Just say, like, ‘students are taking drugs

Hanna 00:00:27:22

and we want to talk about it.’

Smita 00:00:29:21

I think that's why it's so sad sometimes

Smita 00:00:31:11

that it’s almost seen that equality and diversity

Smita 00:00:34:12

is in opposition to freedom of speech, because unless

Smita 00:00:37:05

everybody feels able to participate,

Smita 00:00:38:28

we don’t really have free speech.
