Fiftyfaces Focus - Intersections
by Aoifinn Devitt
This podcast series started as a special "capsule" focused on the 2021 Provost Election at Trinity College Dublin, which saw Linda Doyle elected as the first female provost in the institution's 429 year history. Inspired by Linda's focus on the intersection of Engineering and the Arts, we have curated a series of compelling podcasts with individuals who transcend traditional subject matter barriers. These people #choosetochallenge every day and listening to them will force you too to challenge your assumptions and see the enormous potential when we think outside the box and let ideas be cross-fertilized. In February 2023 we are using this platform to promote our Love Series about the loves and passions that our guests hold outside or as their careers. We learn about what these passions can teach us and how they can make us the professionals we are.
