    In this episode of Campus Conversations, Amman, Mubaraq and Kat chat about modern society, culture change and what it really means to be “colourblind.” Through honest and relatable conversation, they share their own experiences of university and everyday life, unpack ideas around racism, unconscious bias and microaggressions, and explore why simply ignoring differences isn’t the same as being anti-racist.

  • Episode 01 - Politics, Identity & Belonging
    Mar 31 2026

    This week on Campus Conversations, we’re diving into some big topics that hit close to home for students — from politics and protests to identity, opportunity, and what it really means to “make it” at uni. Hafsa, Kat, and Elif chat about whether protests actually lead to change or just raise awareness, and unpack the pressure to stay informed in a world of trending causes and social media activism. They also get real about class, internships, and the not-so-level playing field when it comes to building a career — questioning the idea that success is purely down to hard work. The conversation then turns to politics, debating whether 16-year-olds should have the right to vote (and whether anyone should be forced to!). To wrap things up, the hosts tackle a relatable “Campus Confession” about choosing the wrong degree, money struggles, and the overwhelming reality of student life in London. Honest, thoughtful, and full of relatable moments, this episode is all about navigating uni life, finding your place, and figuring things out as you go — because let’s be real, no one actually has it all sorted.
