EPOD BOOK SERIES
The EPOD Book Series is a partnership between Routledge, Morley College London, the University of Staffordshire, the University of Leeds and the University of South Florida. The first book in the series was published at the end of July 2025. Academics, researchers and practitioners submitted paper abstracts on research and experience of teaching and learning through podcasts at the second EPOD conference, which took place in June 2025. Authors' chapters are currently being peer-reviewed for the second EPOD book, which Routledge will publish in 2026.
A Call for Papers abstracts of 300-500 words will shortly be announced for the third book in the series. These will be reviewed for inclusion in the conference 2026 programme at the University of Leeds. After the conference, presenting authors will be invited to submit a full paper for peer review for consideration within a Routledge book of proceedings.
If you would like to get involved, contribute a future paper abstract or be part of the peer review committee, please get in touch: epod@morleycollege.ac.uk
