PTS | Science in conversation: Barbara Götsch on the Austrian Media Library’s ‘Resonanzraum’ podcast

Our new SFU colleague Dr Barbara Götsch – who recently joined the Faculty of Psychotherapy Science as a postdoctoral project researcher (FWF) – was a guest at the Austrian Media Library’s archive breakfast in early November 2025.

In conversation with Isabelle Engels, she discussed the topic of ‘storytelling’ using selected examples from the “Menschenleben” (Human Lives) collection. This exchange resulted in a new podcast episode, which is now available on various platforms (Spotify, etc.) in the format ‘Resonanzraum, Österreichische Mediathek’ (Resonance Room, Austrian Media Library).
