S4 Ep 1 - Sam and Carmelina on 'Studying Humanities and Science'

The HPS Podcast - Conversations from History, Philosophy and Social Studies of Science

Welcome back to The HPS Podcast for Season 4.

In today's episode, Carmelina and Samara touch on a variety of topics, but a core theme is 'how we study science through the lens of the humanities'. Both Sam and Carmelina believe the skills and perspectives developed through disciplines such as history, sociology, and philosophy are crucial to resolving many of today's problems. So, it is incredibly sad that they continue to be undervalued by many.
We hope The HPS Podcast - in its own small way - contributes to a broader appreciation of the richness and value of the humanities approach.
Also - make sure to listen to the end for some fun outtakes from the recording of this episode!
