"In Perspective" is a long-form podcast hosted by KUT's Rebecca McInroy in partnership with The Texas Humanities Project, that aims to highlight the importance of humanities research in a broader context.Each month we’ll explore a topic from a variety of perspectives to gain a better understanding of the world around us. Our topics will range from political debates to social issues to religious discussions and beyond, with a focus on how literature, history, psychology, fine arts and other humanities intersect to inform our understanding of issues we might otherwise take for granted.Join us each month at the table and offer your suggestions for discussion topics by emailing us at [email protected].en-USCopyright KUT News 2025Wed, 20 May 2015 14:01:37 GMTWhat Are We Eating and Why?
