Claudia Hammond explores unwanted touch and who we do and don鈥檛 mind touching us 鈥� and where. She draws on insights from the largest study that鈥檚 ever been conducted on the topic of touch 鈥� The Touch Test - commissioned by Wellcome Collection. Almost forty thousand people from all over the world chose to take part. Claudia discusses where we draw the boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable touch, at work or in the street, with Dr Amy Kavanagh, a visually impaired activist and campaigner, Joanna Bourke, Professor of History at Birkbeck, University of London and the author of 鈥淩ape - a History鈥�, and Dr Natalie Bowling, a psychologist at the University of Greenwich who co-created the Touch Test and has been crunching the numbers. After #meToo and Covid, could unwanted touch even become a thing of the past?
