FiF Podcast Episode 8: Dermot Daly

Jane's guest this week is Dr Dermot Daly: a university lecturer, researcher and practitioner working across theatre, film and audio as an actor, director and dramaturg. He was the first in his family to go to university, and talks about his experience of being the first to be awarded a PhD, and how an accident during his A-levels changed the course of his education and career. We will look at his journey from a 15 year old grammar school boy, through his undergrad, his years outside of higher education and to his return to it. Check out Dermot's practitioner website for more information on what he's up to now, and his Leeds Beckett page here.
