In this episode, we're discussing Scotland's place in the world and inequalities in our economy.

Professor Peter Jackson, Chair in Global Security at the University of Glasgow, tells us about the cross-university initiative, Scottish Council on Global Affairs, which aims to bring together Scotland's world-class expertise in international relations.

Meanwhile, Kat Riach, Professor of Organisational Studies at the Adam Smith Business School, talks about her research into ageism at work and age discrimination in the labour market. Her pioneering research on the menopause is helping to change workplace practices.
