Other Podcasts

Here are some podcasts I have done in other podcast series.

This is the inaugural podcast/talk/workshop for the Center for Cyber-Social Dynamics at the University of Kansas. Thinking about Cyber-Social Dynamics: Intentions, Meanings, Judgments

In this Telos Press podcast, editor David Pan and I discuss The Role and the Function of the University Today.

In this Baldy Center podcast, John Henry Schlegel and I discuss legal history, especially Realism & CLS, American social and economic history, and what it all means for \"the adventure of thinking.\"

In this Baldy Center podcast, Mark Maguire and I discuss our recent book, Getting Through Security: Counterterrorism, Bureaucracy, and a Sense of the Modern.

I am a writer, theorist of present dispensations, and law professor. Substantively, this podcast is about politics, economics, culture generally and what one might broadly speaking call philosophy. My preferred form, the form in which I try to move my own thinking forward, is the essay, which sometimes verges into literary not quite nonfiction. One of the things I am working with here is the translation from eye to ear, from text to sound. Sound is different. I hope you enjoy.
