In this podcast Kyushu University Associate Professor Shaun ODwyer and I recount episodes from our lives which nearly pushed us to the brink of paranoia (bad) and discuss strategies for avoiding similar epistemological traps (good).Shaun's new book "Confucianism's Prospects" (State University of New York Press) is due out in August. More info on that at the following: http://www.sunypress.edu/p-6782-confucianisms-prospects.aspxAnd here's a link to Shaun’s most recent Japan Times VOICES column contribution, “On Migrants and Belonging": https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2019/05/13/commentary/japan-commentary/on-migrants-and-belonging/#.XOCWGtMzbUI Want to help support Deep in Japan?
