I have just finished the latest SEL episode with Yan You. It is so refreshing to hear about a unique and socially contextualised social and emotional development.
Thanks Will for bringing so many interesting topics to my ears! I look forward to each episode.
As a master's student in education and international development, I find this podcast an essential tool for learning, questioning, exploring, re-examining and developing. Featuring veteran scholars such as David Harvey and Stephen Ball, whose work I have wrestled with and referenced repeatedly in the past, whilst also introducing leading fresh voices in educational research.
I am studying global education policies and I am so happy to find this podcast! All my peers and professors are listening to your episodes! Thank you!
A wish for the future: That would be amazing if you cover sexual education policies.
I was introduced to this podcast in one of my graduate school courses. We were assigned to listen to a few podcasts of interviews Will did that were relevant to the class theme for that week.
I am now addicted. The guests bring a wealth of knowledge about education but also other areas. Will asks some great questions and pushes the interview to great depth in such a short time. I’ve learned so much from these podcasts.
Highly recommend if you are interested in what goes on behind the scenes ... more

This series centers on education research and policy from a global perspective, featuring interviews with researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who dissect how education systems respond to technology, governance, conflict, and social equity. Episodes frequently explore foundational learning, AI in education, international education policy, and the politics of schooling, often highlighting practical implications for teachers, administrators, and researchers alike. A notable strength is the ability to translate complex academic ideas into accessible discussions, while consistently connecting theory to real-world challenges such as funding shifts, climate education, and Indigenous rights.
