Today's guest is Dr. Mariana Ortega, philosopher and professor of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Penn State University. We talk about the loneliness of being an "in-betweener", how to cope in a foreign world and a new language, and how to find joy again through a renewed sense of home and self. Other topics include: today's new vocabulary surrounding "Latinx", how much better the fruit is in the homeland, and using books as a way to escape reality. Dr. Ortega is the author of In-Between: Latina Feminist Phenomenology, Multiplicity, and the Self. Learn more about her at https://philosophy.la.psu.edu/people/mariana-ortega
