Welcome to Unlocking Academia. A Clavis Aurea podcast that explores research in the humanities and social sciences through conversations with the scholars behind recently published books. In each episode, we speak with an author about their work, the ideas that shaped it, and the broader debates their research contributes to. Through these conversations, Unlocking Academia opens the door to academic scholarship and invites listeners to engage with the ideas, research, and intellectual discussions shaping fields such as history, literature, culture, politics, and the social sciences.
