Love and Philosophy
Love and Philosophy Beyond Dichotomy started as research conversations across disciplines. There was so much I wanted to explore that I was being told I shouldn't explore because it didn't fit into this or that discipline, but because I study and work in so many, those barriers no longer made sense. The same felt true relative to passions and love.
So I decided to open myself to all of it beyond traditional distinctions, towards learning and development. This podcast is where those voices gather together in one space as I try and notice the patterns that connect.
It's part of my life work and research, but it's also something I hope to share with you and I invite you to share your perspective and position. Thank you for being here.
