Novelty of Doom

National Humanities Center Podcast Institute by National Humanities Center Podcast Institute

Episode notes

The Novelty of Doom podcast considers the themes of performance, death and the body through four very different strands of the humanities. A historian (Bethany), a designer and performance studies scholar (Saloni), a literature scholar (Ben) and a sociologist (Anna) explore how our research speaks to these ideas. Through our conversations we ask who narratives belong to and whose stories we can tell. We grapple with our own responsibility as scholars and offer some words of hope in a dark time.
