Hi all, as you know the Caroline Flack online debate/discussion is only a few short days away (Wednesday 7th 6.30pm) to support this and to give you an idea of some of the ideas and topics that will be discussed we have recorded a small podcast, in which April, Meg and Lauren will be discussing what they are looking forward to and expect from the debate.

In addition a number of students have written articles for the magazine around the topic, which can be found with other sulci articles here, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1qiwvxAC0q1_VisxXaPalbbbuPevDM4Dy?usp=sharing
