On The Books #3 with Sophie Goldsworthy & Candy Gourlay

Show notes

Live from #fbm25, host Felix Zeltner and co-host Erin Cox sit down with Sophie Goldsworthy, Global Academic Publisher at Oxford University Press, and Candy Gourlay, Filipino journalist and author ("Wild Song").

They discuss the emotion of experiencing the Philippines as Guest of Honor, the power of telling hidden histories, and how AI and academic innovation are reshaping publishing — without losing its human soul.

“When I arrived in England 35 years ago, people only saw Filipinos as maids or nurses. My books show who we really are.” – Candy Gourlay

“We’re creating Oxford Intersections to bring disciplines together to solve complex global topics; from AI to climate.” – Sophie Goldsworthy
