In this episode, I speak with Dr Christie Margrave from Cardiff University about the experiences that have shaped both her academic career and her life beyond the university.
Christie reflects on her role at Cardiff and the work that motivates her within higher education, while also sharing the deeply personal story behind her decision to become a solo mum by choice.
We also discuss the gender gap in opportunities for promotion, considering the structural and cultural barriers that women still face within academia and leadership.
Christie also l looks back at her own formative years at Hull Grammar School in the 1990s.
