Now What? Navigating the Post-Corona 20s

As North Korea makes headlines again, we seek to understand recent developments in the US-North Korea relationship by speaking with Dr. John Park, whose core research projects focus on the political economy of the Korean Peninsula, nuclear proliferation, economic statecraft and Asian trade negotiations. Dr. Park discusses the Bolton book and how countries have adjusted policies based on its revelations, as well as the future of Hong Kong in light of the National Security Law.

Today, we're joined by Steven Pinker, Harvard professor, experimental cognitive psychologist and a popular writer on language, mind, and human nature. We discuss Pinker’s vastly popular book “Enlightenment Now” in light of recent events, the many dimensions of cancel culture and recent attacks against him, rationality and recent debates on tech companies monitoring social media. Listen until the end to hear his advice for our generation in light of the reality of COVID-19.

In our first episode, we're joined by Harvard Professor Nathan Hendren who shares his work on the Opportunity Insights Economic Tracker, which measures real-time economic responses to COVID-19. Listen for a college-student friendly breakdown of how the economy's really been impacted by the coronavirus by a renowned expert -- thank you Professor!
