Zwittering On Podcast
The Zwittering On podcast explores the chemistry of our common human experience. Each week hosts Mariama and Sam are joined by a guest expert and student to explore the chemistry of a different topic and to uncover how chemistry affects our everyday lives.
We break down the science so anyone can learn more about the chemistry that is all around us. Listeners learn about how chemistry influences our present and how it can help bring positive social change now and in the future.
The world needs chemists more than ever. Will you join our conversation?

Inequality and Flourishing:
A Theology of Education
Is it time to reimagine
our education system?
It is no surprise that Christians have long been involved in education - the quest for human flourishing and wholeness is at the heart of the gospel, and education is critical to that quest. Good education has the power to transform our relationships with ourselves, with each other, with and within communities and ultimately between nation states. But what is surprising is our theological silence in the face of the deep injustices which lie at the heart of our education system.
In Inequality and Flourishing Rev’d. Dr. Mariama Ifode-Blease explores and exposes these inequalities, and calls for a greater remembrance of the bountiful and daunting gift of stewardship we have as we educate young people.
Drawing on interviews, she offers a fresh vision of education as being about giving children the best tools to be stewards of their minds and bodies, our communities and ultimately our planet.
Speaker:
BRINGING DOWN THE MIGHTY:
CHURCH, THEOLOGY AND
STRUCTURAL INJUSTICE
The mighty in our society take many forms – the able-bodied, the middle class, the white, and the male. In this conference, we’ll spend the day with a stellar line-up of inspiring theologians and thinkers, whose prophetic voices challenge and provoke the church, to live out her calling to ‘bring down the mighty from their seats’.
