Critically Linked Podcast: 2 New Episodes

Dear friends,

We - Dana S. Trif and Jaspal Singh, the hosts of Critically Linked - are delighted to announce the release of two more episodes experimenting with a new format:  podcast episodes whose content and presentation were entirely designed by students from UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles. We hope to disseminate more such materials and help perhaps with new teaching ideas! Enjoy :)

Episode 7: Stuart Hall on Cultural Studies and its theoretical legacies - with Louisa Chihi, Elodie De Sousa, and Hawa Ibra Saidou War

Stuart Hall (1932 - 2014) was one of the most influential scholars in the field of Cultural Studies, shaping the discipline with his groundbreaking theories on media, identity, power, and representation. Hall’s work redefined the way we understand culture—not as a fixed, elite phenomenon, but as a dynamic and contested space. His contributions remain central to modern debates on race, identity, media influence, and globalization. In today’s episode, we continue our experiment with a slightly new format. Critically Linked has 3 wonderful guests – Louisa Chihi, Elodie De Sousa, and Hawa Ibra Saidou War - all of them Bachelor students from UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles coordinated by Prof. Thomas Jacobs. Louisa, Elodie and Hawa will be hosting this edition of the podcast with a conversation about Stuart Hall and the relevance of Cultural Studies.
