Bonus episode - Trailblazing with Professor Shane Ewen

Catherine Levin talks to Professor Shane Ewen about his involvement in a new play called Trailblazing - women have always been firefighters. It's a conversation about cultural change and uses stories to show the evolution of women working in the fire and rescue service. 

It is an impressive collaboration with arts organisations in West Yorkshire to create a play, drawing on research and oral histories. The play shares women’s experience of working in the fire service in the second world war, in the 1980s and in recent times. It is a West Yorkshire experience, but it speaks to themes that go beyond this part of the country.

Listen on to find out more about the play. 

For more information on the play and the wider work Shane is doing in this space, email him directly:  s.ewen@leedsbeckett.ac.uk
