In this episode we chat with Joshua Bamford from the School of Anthropology & Museum Ethnography at the University of Oxford. Joshua talks us through his background in music, and how seeing the silent disco at the Fringe Festival in Perth some years ago provided the inspiration for his current research, which looks at how dancing with other people impacts on social bonding. Joshua grew up in Western Australia, and his work has taken him to Finland, and now the UK. We discuss his journey from starting out as an opera singer in Perth, through to being a current DPhil candidate at Oxford University.
