Karen Coltrane, president and CEO of Leadership Center for Excellence, sat down with me to talk about LCE's new DMV Diversity and Inclusion Institute -- an exciting effort to put the value of curiosity into meaningful action in the workplace. Join us next time as we reassess the costs of curiosity with ecosystem ecologist Seeta Sistla, the third episode in our Curiosity Studies series. Thanks to Sean Balick for our theme and other music.

Curiosity to Go, Ep. 58: Embody Attention

What if we really look and listen differently, with a purpose -- or as my dad likes to say, "if we change our point of view" -- might we see something new? That was the thread in this week's "Curiosity to Go" segment that pairs John L. Jackson, Jr,, dean of Annenberg School for Communication and ethnographer, with photographer Jason Horowitz. How might we embody that profound level of paying attention?

Ep. #87: The Cost of Curiosity, with Seeta Sistla

When I read Seeta Sistla’s confrontation to the environmental costs of curiosity - a list that is as thought-provoking as it is long - I sent myself on an internal journey of challenged assumptions and weighted values. This was, I imagine, exactly the effect she was hoping for. The third episode in our Curiosity Studies series. This is the third in a monthly series of interviews with the contributing authors to the forthcoming anthology Curiosity Studies: A New Ecology of Knowledge. Stay tuned for the whole series!
