Philosophy Casting Call

Philosophy Casting Call is back with a brand new season! For season 3, I, Élaina, your favourite philosophy podcast host, am exploring the meaning of interdisciplinarity. Is it just a buzzword? Is it the future of scholarship? Have we been doing it all along?

To help me answer these metaphysical questions I opened the casting call to non-philosophers who use philosophical concepts or methodologies. So prepare yourself to experience the talents of historians, anthropologists, medical humanists, and new media scholars in addition to “official” philosophers.

I also got a sponsor! Thanks to the Centre for Biomedicine, Self and Society season 3 of Philosophy Casting Call will be weekly for the first time, so subscribe now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocketcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts! All transcripts will continue to be available at www.elainagauthiermamaril.com.

In this episode, Élaina interviews Louise Durham, a PhD student in philosophy at the University of Aberdeen. Louise talks about the three “lightbulb moments” that motivated her decision to pursue academic philosophy. This episode is for all those who have been told to give up and who kept going mostly out of spite. It’s also for everyone who ever failed a logic class. You’re in good company.

Please enjoy my conversation with Black Jewish philosopher Jesi Taylor Cruz on waste colonialism, flourishing, and anti-colonial philosophy. You might notice the sounds of life, aka seagulls on my side and the hustle and bustle of New York and the coos of a small human on Jesi’s side. I hope this only adds to your enjoyment.

Content note: There is some swearing in this episode as well as discussions of colonial violence, ableism and racism.

Jesi mentions the works of Max Liboiron and you can find a list of their articles here:

This is the one where Élaina introduces the podcast!

Hi! My name is Élaina Gauthier-Mamaril and I’m the host of a new fortnightly podcast: Philosophy Casting Call! Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Well, this is not about them! Philosophy Casting Call is where I, your friendly neighbourhood philosopher, interview professors, grad students, and non-academics to find out what philosophy looks like now and try to shine a spotlight on thinkers, topics, and themes that are underrepresented in academic philosophy.

If you are into discovering more about the philosophy of disability or how one gets involved with teaching aesthetics in a women’s jail, this podcast is for you. Listen to and follow Philosophy Casting Call every other week on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Good Pods, and most other places starting May 31.
