Each month, we dive into the wonderfully weird world of social norms and the unwritten rules that guide our behaviour in different settings. What actually happens in female public toilets — and is it different for men? Why do we queue the way we do? What is the silent choreography of lifts and elevators? How are we “supposed” to behave on public transport? … and so much more. Along the way, we’ll explore how factors like culture, age, gender, class, and religion shape these everyday expectations. Not Your Nanna's Norms makes sociology fun, accessible, and a little bit cheeky — something anyone can enjoy, not just the lucky few who’ve taken a sociology class.
