Finding Meaning And Focus In A Turbulent World... HIGH IMPACT COFFEE HOUR

- Social Sciences
A few months later, we are back! Kat and I have been busy with grad school, but we finally sat down and recorded an episode in light of recent events, specifically the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In this episode, we talk about how we have been dealing with the current news cycle, how we try to navigate the terrains of 2022, and how we experience these events as 20-something grad students struggling to find meaning and focus in our everyday work at the same time of war, continuing pandemic, and diminishing human rights. We find ourselves questioning a lot, and there is a glimpse of desperation, anger and frustration, but we know we aren't shouting into the void: through commiseration and candidness, we come to undertand that we are not alone, and that you may be feeling a lot of the things that we are, too. Hope y'all take care out there and, if applicable, acknowledge the disruption that politics has brought to either yourself or someone you love, for what is political is personal.
