Engagement

In The Zone is a podcast collaboration between myself (Mike Ryder) and fellow academic, Josh Hughes. Described by one listener as ‘interesting chats with Mike and Josh’, each week, we take up a subject that we think is particularly interesting, and relate it back to our research and the wider world of academia. We also interview fellow researchers and review relevant books and films.

MJRyder.net started way back in 2008 as a personal portfolio and blog. Over the years, the website has developed to encompass the many different aspects of my professional and academic career to become the website you see before you today. Alongside this website, I also run an associated Facebook page, M.J. Ryder, through which I engage with my followers on topics relating to my research and my academic endeavours.
