Introduction

pt.2 of our Christmas 'Harms of Lockdown' miniseries. To listen to the entire series, become a subscriber at Patreon.com/ThePopularPod. Vaccine mandates and the threat of new lockdowns come to the UK, to the backdrop of new and increasingly authoritarian measures across Europe and in parts of the US. The Popular Show is spending the run-up to Christmas speaking to academics about under-publicised negative effects of previous and existing measures, starting with the effect of lockdowns on the young. Dr Jennie Bristow (Canterbury Christ Church University, Centre for Parenting Culture Studies) and Professor Ellen Townsend (University of Nottingham, Self-Harm Research Group) join us to speak about the prospects of the 'Corona Generation'.
