1 - Becca on the Human Sciences - The Importance of Connection Between People (and Plants)
In our first episode we talk to Becca - a first class Oxford graduate in Human Sciences, and a tutor with us in Hong Kong - about her educational journey. This conversation covers a wide range of topics as we trace links between climate change, loneliness and health, and the impacts of the pandemic. She talks of the importance of feeling connected, not only with other people, but also with other living beings including plants. Becca also reflects on her time at university and how her academic explorations came to impact her personal social life, and vice versa.
Becca mentions the following book titles throughout the podcast:
Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard (2021)
Witchcraft, Oracles, and Magic among the Azande by Evans-Pritchard (1937)
