Politics. Power. Popular Culture. And other stuff, probably. Your hosts are Anindya Raychaudhuri and Hannah Fitzpatrick.soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo… ScotlandJoined April 2016
In this episode, we tackle the stories of Jessica Krug and Rachel Dolezal, and think through what they might tell us about race, identity and academia.

Following on from last week’s episode about race and the democratic party, we explore the racial dynamic of British mainstream politics, focussing on the figure of the Conservative British Asian.

In the week that Joe Biden nominates Senator Kamala Harris of California as his Vice-Presidential pick, we talk about black identity, left-wing politics and the Democratic party.

We are just recording an episode on our favourite depressing topic/guilty pleasure, the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, you can still hear us talk to @tomclemens about education, class, merit and statistics.

This week we welcome back @tomclemens to discuss Scottish school-leaving grades, the #SQAResultsFiasco and what it says about education and structural inequalities. soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
Even your theory doctors sometime get too depressed with the world, so this week we ignored all the important things, and spoke instead of Disney+, 1990s pop culture, and nostalgia. Our usual depressing service will be resumed before long.

What is a "meaningless" gesture and what is "substantial" action? And where does performative fit into all of this? Listen to our thoughts in Episode 90 of our #podcast - soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
Here is Episode 90, in which we discuss the relationship between gesture and substance, using the act of taking the knee as a from of protest.

Another chance to hear us think through the relationship between capitalism, neoliberalism and humanities in the contemporary academia. Episode 89 of our #podcast is waiting for you! soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
Another chance to hear us talk about the alt-right and conspiracy theories. What do they see in an orange that we don't? And why does it matter? soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
This week, we go full conspiracy-theory and examine how various alt-right movements see themselves, the establishment, and their enemies. Welcome to Episode 88: Oranges and Hawaiian Shirts. soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
Episode 87, the concluding part of a two-part look at race and education is now live. Listen to us talk about schools in the US and the UK, and the role played by racial inequalities in the school system.

Your Theory Doctors might still be in lockdown, but that will not stop them! After a long break, we are back, talking race and universities in part 1 of a two-parter on education. Listen now. soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
FYI Your Theory Doctors are still on #UCUstrike so there won't be new episodes for a little while longer. You can still hear us discussing the strikes from a couple of years ago, though - soundcloud.com/stateofthetheo…
