It's not just you: there IS something deeper going on there. In each episode of In Theory, co-hosts Maria Sachiko Cecire and Noorain Khan raid academia for the the most fascinating and relevant social, cultural, and scientific theories, and use them to help make sense of this beautiful mess of a world we live in.
Come geek out with us as we get beneath the surface of topics from pop culture, politics, and our everyday lives.
Hey there! You can enjoy listening to our full catalog of episodes, listed in the archive below and available on our Episodes page with related links and fun bonus material. Every ep is created to be evergreen: full of stories, Noorain-Maria banter, and plain-talking takes on badass theory you can actually use.
Nerd out with us and share In Theory with your people!
While we are not currently making new episodes, you can contact Maria and Noorain about speaking engagements here. We’d love to come talk about topics we’ve covered in our episodes (and new ones!) with your organization / institution / crew.
Find us on iTunes, Stitcher, and on your radio dial! Selected episodes appear on Human Rights Radio on NPR affiliate Robin Hood Radio WHDD 91.9FM in Northwest CT / the immediate Tri-State area and WLHV 88.1FM near Bard College in NY.
