The inaugural episode outlines how we at SPERI understand political economy by discussing power and struggles at the intersection of politics and the economy, and how we use political economy approaches in our own research. Guests include current SPERI co-director Andy Hindmoor and Research & Impact Associate Remi Edwards, SPERI co-founder Tony Payne and former SPERI co-director Genevieve LeBaron, as well as SPERI associates Liam Stanley and Natalie Langford.

We are planning to publish a range of limited and ongoing series that will fall under the banner of 'SPERI Presents...' and will engage listeners with foundational ideas, key debates and recent developments in political economy. Led entirely by SPERI colleagues, 'SPERI Presents...' will invite guests from academic and policy circles to offer research-informed and accessible insight into how political economy can help us make sense of the world around us.
Coming soon...
Michael Jacobs, Professorial Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Relations, and Mems Ayinla from the Students’ Union at the University of Sheffield, have just finished recording our first limited podcast series!
This first series is entitled 'Lessons in power: What can the new Labour government learn from the last one?' Michael and Mems will be discussing the lessons learned during the New Labour governments of 1997-2010 with a number of cabinet ministers and advisers from that era, looking forward to another Labour government which is taking office this week.
