Kirsty Sinclair Dootson

Noreen Masud, a lecturer in Twentieth Century Literature, and Kirsty Sinclair Dootson, a film and media lecturer, dive deep into the concept of escapism. They discuss how travel, cinema, and literature serve as both a refuge and distraction in our lives. The conversation touches on how identity influences our need for escape and the socio-political implications of cinematic art, especially during tough times. They also explore the philosophical significance of dreams and the complexity of opinions in a fast-paced world.
