ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Welcome to 'Busting Buzzwords', the ‘inside’ education podcast that explores the stories behind the buzzwords that you may hear hovering around places like The University of Sydney, one of Australia’s largest and oldest institutions of higher education! We're Clara Sitbon and Ben Nickl, two USYD academics and your hosts for these education buzzword conversations, and we try to give you less of the buzz-talk and more of the people behind it. Tune in and listen along with us as we chat with different people who are as diverse and unique as the meanings that the words we discuss have for them!
