Our World Openly with Antoni Kalkowski
Welcome friend! Join me in exploring Our World Openly as we traverse the interconnected spheres and disciplines of Anthropology, Science, Technology, and Society (STS) Studies, Psychology, History, Politics, Economics, Philosophy, Social Justice, and others; Spheres of reality that are deeply networked through complex relationships, and spheres that rarely, if ever, exist in isolation. It is understanding these spheres together that is essential for understanding this simultaneously beautiful and weird, yet also sometimes cruel and not equal, world of ours. Through meaningful conversations that provide novel and important ideas and perspectives, we uncover the interconnected depths of our reality. This all while we maintain an open and curious, yet theoretically and scientifically skeptical, mind.
