In Episode 16 we have a coffee and chat with none other than Professor Alex Neill, who is the Vice-President (Education) and a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton. As the key person to have University-wide oversight of all activities relating to education, we asked Alex, what is a typical (non-covid-19) day like for you, and other important questions like do you get time to eat lunch?! As you might expect, this podcast focuses mostly on educational leadership and strategy, but we do manage to find some time to ask Alex to reflect upon his days of frontline teaching and the approaches he took when he was a fresh young whipper snapper!

Episode 010 – "The Global Authority on Matt Smith's Socks": interview with Alex Neill

How can we enjoy watching tragedy when it is a genre that deals with suffering and pain? In this episode of  the Philosophy Bites podcast Alex Neill explains what the paradox of tragedy is, and shows how he thinks it can be dissolved. He also relates this discussion to related questions about our experience of horror movies.
