Struggling Academics

By: Struggling Academics
  • Summary

  • Struggling Academics is a bi-monthly educational podcast for everyone interested in ideas, intellectual life and academic pursuits. At Struggling Academics, we deliberately venture into areas to which none of the hosts necessarily claim expertise. In each episode Dr. Andrasi (linguist), Dr. Clinnick (archaeologist), Dr. Pedersen (philosopher) & Dr. Vladescu (anthropologist/philologist) will discuss a particular topic with an uplifting and positive twist ranging from singular human experiences such as isolation, loneliness and anger to big picture topics including what do we mean when we talk about culture, Human Flourishing, Neanderthals, the supernatural, the role of the city and the soul.
