Welcome to Making SENSS, the official podcast from the South and East Network for Social Sciences (SENSS). Hosted and produced by Alex Canner from Research Podcasts, this series takes you inside the work of innovative doctoral researchers across the UK who are bridging the gap between academic discovery and meaningful societal change.
Across ten episodes, our guests explore how rigorous research translates into practical, real-world solutions - from humanising social care and creating inclusive urban environments to building safer digital economies and tackling climate change through behavioural science. Through candid, insightful conversations, each episode unpacks why this research matters and how it promises to transform policy, public understanding, healthcare, and everyday life.

A safe place to live can transform a young person's future, but behind every supported lodging is a host family whose experiences are rarely heard. What can we learn from the people opening their homes to vulnerable young people?
Rachael Stemp, a PhD student at the University of East Anglia, explores the experiences of hosts providing supported lodgings for young people aged 16–23, including care leavers and young people seeking asylum. Through a national survey and creative photo elicitation interviews, her research uncovers both the rewards and challenges of becoming a host.
Rachael discusses why greater awareness and stronger support for host families are essential if supported lodgings are to continue making a positive difference. Her work aims to inform future policy while helping more young people make a successful transition into independent adulthood.
