Pulled Up Short

In this episode, Thomas Groome troubles the stereotypical divide between faith and science using examples from his own experience, including a chat with his bee-keeper neighbor. Tune in to consider the many ways in which atheism and theism are on level ground - by way of reason.

Stanton Wortham hosts Gabrielle Oliveira with discussant Samantha Ha.

In this episode, Gabi Oliveira asks us to let kids have a seat at the adults’ table, or rather, take a seat at the child’s table when it comes to decision-making that will affect youth’s lives. Drawing on her own ethnographic research, she explores the possibilities when young children are taken seriously as political participants.

Are you interested in piquing your curiosity and reimagining the world anew… in only 35 minutes? Tune into a new podcast that aims to create moments of being “Pulled Up Short" — experiences of surprise when we encounter an idea, text, or experience that challenges our ways of thinking and deeply held assumptions about the world.

Our first season will feature 10 total episodes, and each episode explores a different insight that asks us to entertain the possibility of a different worldview and re-examine some of our presuppositions. For example, should six-year-olds get to vote? Are we all in arranged marriages? Do witches exist?
