Join her as Emily explores how the "kn/own/able" concept comes to life in various fields, uncover the big questions that continue to intrigue researchers and gain fresh perspectives on our understanding of knowledge ownership - from genetics to ethnography, from education to copyright law, and from ancient Chinese history to museum heritage.
