🎧 The EU Rule of Law Crisis: Between Normativity and Harsh Reality

In this international episode, Mauricio Mandujano Manriquez, Jonah Zijlma and Greta Scott discuss the EU rule of law crisis. We had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Theuns, Assistant Professor of Political Theory and European Politics at Leiden University and an Associate Researcher at Sciences Po Paris, on the EU's response to the undemocratic and illiberal practices of Hungary and Poland. What is the future of Hungary and Poland in the EU, and what can and should the EU do to rein in its most problematic Member States? This episode was recorded on the 24th of June 2022 at the Yolk Workspace & Community podcast studio in Kraków and the Digital Lab at Leiden University.

🎧 The Politics of Food

Grocery shopping, cooking and eating are all part of our everyday life, and the choices we make about what we eat are very personal to us. But what are the political consequences of these decisions? In this episode of The Common Room, Vivien Keenleyside, Friso van der Vijgh and Greta Scott discuss all things food. Can certain foodstuffs be instruments of xenophobia? How did we become so reliant on factory farming, and what are our politicians doing about it? And what is the future of food, better labelling or dishes prepared in a lab and not a kitchen? This episode was recorded on the 30th of May 2022 at the UJOT FM radio studio at the Faculty of Management of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków.

🎧 Who's Afraid of the Euromonster?

Join Beatrice Giovannoni, Jonah Zijlma, and Greta Scott as they take you through some of the hippest haters of Brussels and her Union. What does Euroscepticism really mean? How do its adherents profile themselves at home? And, gosh, whatever happened to that Brexit thing? This episode was recorded on the 23rd of May 2022 at the UJOT FM radio studio at the Faculty of Management of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków.
