Beyond the Books - Series 3: Episode 1 - Désha Osborne

Beyond the Books is a podcast from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at research and the people who make it happen. This episode is the first in Series 3 and, in a double first, marks the debut of new host Beth Price, a PhD student in Asian Studies. In this episode, Beth talks to Dr Désha Osborne, a Chancellor’s Fellow in English Literature. They chat about Désha’s work on the connection between Scotland and the Caribbean, her experience of editing the previously relatively unknown poem Hiroona, and the incredible power of storytelling.
