The School of Economics is proud to present The Econverse Podcast, a student-led initiative launching today with its first two episodes featuring alumni guests Myles Corson (EY) and Elizabeth Brower (Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office).

This new podcast invites inspirational guests from our global UoN community to provide valuable insights into their lives and careers after graduation.  

Economics often involves topics like wealth and finance, but it’s not all about numbers, goods and services. At its core, Economics is about people, and how they construct and sustain societies.

With this in mind, Econverse is the place where intellectually stimulating conversations take place between students, academics and alumni designed to inspire and inform.

Each season will focus on a different theme, bringing students together with thought leaders, policy makers, and change agents from a range of disciplines.  

The podcast is presented by undergraduate Economics students Aditi, Jack, Khushi and Sean, who had this to say about their involvement: 

“Recording the podcast has been a double-win for us, as we’ve had the opportunity to create valuable content for a broad audience, whilst also learning about a range of fascinating topics and interesting careers open to us as Economics students.

“We cover the topical issues, but also explore the joys (and struggles) life can throw at you post-university. It’s ultimately about fostering a supportive community platform for current students and alumni to have rewarding conversations”
