Episode 44: the third way
“Revolutions are extended periods in which the routines of normal life are dislocated…”
— Dr. Rebecca L. Spang
As difficult as life feels right now, this time of sheltering in place has revealed some important truths about how unsustainable our previous COVID-19 lives were. And yet what we're experiencing now is unsustainable in a totally different way. Laura looks to French historian Rebecca L. Spang for what history can teach us as we imagine a third way of living, one that might be more revolutionary than we realize.
