Friendship, faith communities and theatre; Nostalgia podcast with Jacqui Double

team

In the latest episode of the Nostalgia podcast series, Chris Deacy, Head of the Department of Religious Studies, interviews Jacqui Double who works in Student Support in the School of Arts at the University of Kent

We learn about Jacqui’s religious sensibilities as a child and our experiences of growing up in faith environments and the limitations thereby, and move on to speak about different friendship communities that have been built up, and growing up with children who have challenging medical circumstances.

Jacqui also talks about student support; growing up in the Potteries in a Mormon family; how going to university in Sheffield (where she read English Literature) forced her to make choices to live independently; working for a theatre company; why she is a practical person; reading a book a day as a child; meeting one’s heroes; how truthful we can be to ourselves; her grandmother’s spiritualist beliefs; ‘letting things go’; wanting to be a writer; and the paradox of looking forward while also being obsessed with history.
