Liberal Arts Collective Podcast Series - every Thursday
Throughout the 2020-2021 academic year, the Liberal Arts Collective at Penn State will be running a “conference-style” podcast series to feature intellectual, activist, artistic, or community work happening around the contemporary crises of race, environment, and pandemic. New episodes are posted weekly on Thursdays. For our full list of episodes, please see the Unraveling the Anthropocene main page. Meet the organizing team here.
