SOC 119 episodes
- A Turkish Experience & Mental Health | 25FA Class #18
This is a shorter podcast episode because students are taking their second exam during the second half of the class's allotted time. Sam is in Korea and is not able to do his normal AMA - so instead we are playing two clips. One from 2017, and another from 2023. The first is a story about Sam is Istanbul. The second is a conversation with students about mental health and how it is viewed around the world.
