<p>This week Emily chats to Rosie Canning, a PhD student at the University in honour of National Care Leavers week. Rosie shares her personal experiences of being in care and talks about her work to de-stigmatise the people that have been in the care system. Her new Instagram project @aportraitofcare shares the stories of those who have either been in or worked in the care system.</p>

Halloween and a history of witches

Welcome to 360 Degrees, the podcast from the University of Southampton that covers the full circle of student life (see what we did there?). Every week, we’ll be chatting about a different part of the student experience, such as leaving home, money, careers advice, studying online and cooking. Along the way we’ll be joined by experts, alumni, students and staff at the University to help us answer questions like ‘Is anyone actually able to cook the right amount of pasta or do we all accidentally cook more than we need?’ and ‘How on earth are you supposed to answer the biggest weakness question in an interview?’. We hope this podcast will help make your student journey that little bit easier or at least provide some background noise whilst you’re doing an assignment. Happy listening!
